WHAT\u2019S NEW?<\/strong><\/p>\n

On its 13th<\/sup> year, aside from the 18 cultural destinations<\/strong> in the cities of Cebu, Mandaue, Lapu-lapu, and Talisay, Aduana House<\/strong>, a shared undertaking between Armed and Philippine Navy, will also join this year\u2019s event to highlight the history and arts of the Province through the display of landing and patrol crafts. Guides will be deployed to orient the different parts of the ship so as to give the \u2018feels\u2019 of the five ships that journeyed from Spain to circumnavigate the world and the undocumented advances of our ancestors as they explored the land that was about to be \u201cfound\u201d; hence the theme: Setting Sail.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a preparation as well for the grand 500th<\/sup> anniversary of Magellan\u2019s arrival in the Philippines in 2021. Thus, upcoming themes are aligned with the expeditions that had critical impact not only on the Filipinos but across the world.<\/p>\n
