Please Refile and Pass Senate Bill 1981 

AN ACT TO DECLARE APRIL 27 OF EVERY YEAR AS A SPECIAL NON-WORKING HOLIDAY THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY TO COMMEMORATE THE VICTORY OF LAPU-LAPU AND HIS MEN OVER THE SPANIARDS LED BY FERNANDO MAGALLANES IN THE HISTORIC BATTLE OF MACTAN ON APRIL 27, 1521, TO BE KNOWN AS 'LAPU-LAPU DAY' OR ADLAW NI LAPU-LAPU

It is high time that we Celebrate Victory, a victory that was won almost 500 years ago, when Lapulapu and His men defended the Island of Mactan.

This would tell our children and generation to come that we as a people must defend our land from foreign agression.

We hope that the Bill should be pass the soonest.
