Megaworld said the development of the Mactan World Museum serves as “an ode to the island’s cultural pride and historical significance” as it will feature curated pieces and cultural artifacts highlighting centuries of friendship between the Philippines and Spain.

“It has always been part of our townships’ mission and identity to celebrate the arts, culture and heritage of every location where we are present,” Megaworld Lifestyle Malls head Graham Coates said.

“We are excited to bring our plans to fruition for the Mactan World Museum here in Lapu-Lapu City, a destination that plays a big historical significance as far as the Philippines-Spanish heritage is concerned,” Coates said.
