The\nLargest Cross installed Underwater<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\ncurrent record holder for the largest cross installed underwater\nspans up to 70 meters long. Lapu-lapu City aims to break this record\nwith its 100-meter underwater cross \u2013 which is made from artificial\ncoral reefs that will soon become the habitat to marine life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In\nthis time of struggle, the cross highlights the deep faith among many\nOponganons, as well as thanksgiving for the blessings and protection\nprovided despite the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As\none of the best diving sites in Asia, this underwater cross will\nprovide another tourist attraction \u2013 and bring forth good tidings\nto the economy and to the locals of Cebu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPadayon ang pagtrabaho sa pinakadakong cross nga maoy mamahimong pinakadako sa tibuok kalibutan. Ato kining ibutang sa ilawm sa kadagatan sa Brgy Tingo, Isla sa Olango o atbang sa pinakatumoyng bahin sa Punta Enga\u00f1o. May tuyo kitang hulipan ang kasamtangang record holder sa Guinness World of Records nga anaa lang 70 meters nga gitas-on kay ang atoang cross moabot sa 100 meters.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nGinama\nkini sa corals nga maoy himuong pinuy-anan sa liboan ka mga klase sa\nisda ug magsilbi kining timaan sa atong dako ug lawm nga pagtuo sa\nlabawng makagagahum hilabi na sa grasya nga iyang gihatag ug\nproteksyon sa mga Oponganon atol sa pila ka buwan nga pandemia.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nMagdala\nkini og dakong dungog sa atong syudad ug maila kita sa tibuok\nkalibutan. Sa samang higayon, makatabang pod kini nga maka-agni og\ndaghan pang foreign tourists hilabi na nga giila kita nga usa sa mga\nbest diving sites in Asia. Mas daghang turista, mas daghan kitag\nmahatag nga panginabuhian sa atong mga kaigsuonan. Laban Opon!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
