Lapu-Lapu City launches the new Mr. Lapu-Lapu Pageant, a competition in search for its modern-day hero. This beauty pageant-cum-physical competition aims to crown the man who has exceptional quality and strength. In lieu of looking for the city’s newest male image, the pageant, which will be held in Lapu-Lapu from March to its April 16 Coronation Night, will also promote tourism, culture, social responsibility and environmental awareness.
The new Mr. Lapu-Lapu pageant has picked contestants who possess the required attributes of physical fitness, appeal, skill, pleasing personality and good moral character, insight and knowledge. Contestants are picked from the many who attended the four-day screening held in Brgy. Poblacion Barangay Hall with the final contestant selection at Waterfront Airport Hotel in Mactan.
The pageant is divided into two stages: the Physical Competition and the Beauty Competition. In the Physical competition, different challenges are staged to see the contestants’ physical and substantial abilities determining the makings of a modern-day hero. This stage also incorporates history and showcases Lapu-Lapu City’s beauty through challenges which will test the physical and endurance, held in islands and barangays of Lapu-Lapu.

The finalists will get to present their Hero Plan of Action for the final stage and ultimately, the final decisions will be left to the judges. The winner will bag the title of Mr. Lapu-Lapu 2011 plus cash and gift items.
As many Filipinos know, Lapu-Lapu is considered to be the first hero of the Philippines, having defeated Ferdinand Magellan and his troupe of Spanish invaders in a battle by the beach in 1521. Over the years, Lapu-Lapu has been characterized with physical strength and a fierce love for his community and colony. As a nationally recognized figure, his story remains a staple in all Philippine history books while his shrine stands mighty on a plaza named after him in Mactan Island, Cebu.
To pay homage to their beloved hero, Lapu-Lapu City has launched the new Mr. Lapu-Lapu pageant with the aim of discovering a modern-day hero who will be the newest male image of the city. This is the first pageant in Lapu-Lapu City’s history which will showcase not only the contestants’ physical attributes but their good moral character and passion for service and action for the city as well.
Many male pageants are recognized around Cebu and the entire Philippines. What the new Mr. Lapu-Lapu pageant will bring to the table is a determined search for the modern-day Lapu-Lapu, a young man who possesses the whole package of physical appeal, skill, moral character, personality and most importantly, a desire to be a hero for the city’s culture, tourism and society.

Evidently, Mr. Lapu Lapu 2011 is not just a pageant showcasing the beauty of the human body, but most parts of it is focused on community service and becoming a role model to the youth as they inspire them to be the best citizens they can be.
The much talked about Mr. Lapu-Lapu pageant, which advocates strongly on the belief that there are true modern-day heroes worthy to be recognized, will hold its Pageant Night on the 16th of April 2011 at the Hoops Dome, Gun-ob in Lapu-Lapu City.
