Marcos led the 503rd commemoration of the "Kadaugan sa Mactan" or Victory at Mactan in Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu, where he offered a wreath at Lapu-Lapu's monument and witnessed the re-enactment of the Battle of Mactan.
In his message earlier yesterday, Marcos joined Filipinos in commemorating the valor, bravery and boldness of Lapu-Lapu and his men in the Battle of Mactan, which has become the epitome of the "indomitable Filipino spirit" through the years.
"The challenge now for all, especially the youth, is to continue embracing (Lapu-Lapu's) ideals and the wealth of our heritage as we realize a 'Bagong Pilipinas' that is built on the foundations of the liberty and freedom that he and all our other heroes fought hard for," the President said.
