Introducing Wapuu-lapu!

WordCamp Cebu 2019 is almost upon us and we’re excited to feature a new Wapuu to the mix! Say hello to Wapuu-lapu!
A bit of a wordplay and a tribute rolled into one, Wapuu-lapu’s name is derived from Lapu-lapu, who is often regarded in modern Philippine society as the first Filipino hero. He was the first native to resist Spanish colonization and is best known for the Battle of Mactan, which happened in the shores in the island of Cebu in 1521. Wapuu-lapu can be seen wearing the iconic bandana or headgear same as the fabled hero.
Wrapped around his arms isn’t a weapon, but rather, it’s the famous Cebu lechon (whole roasted pig), which is considered as one of the culinary experiences you definitely have to try when in Cebu. You end up enjoying the crispy golden brown skin, as well as the tender and flavorful meat on the inside that has been marinated with spices and herbs. It’s often a staple for all sorts of Philippine celebrations and gatherings.
We’re excited to have Wapuu-lapu be a part of WordCamp Cebu 2019, and we can’t wait to have you with us as well! If you haven’t yet, please purchase your WordCamp Cebu 2019 ticket, which can be located at our tickets page. See you in Cebu!
