Mandaue City is located on the middle eastern coastal region of Cebu, bordering to its right-side are Mactan Island where Lapu-Lapu City is located. Mandaue is connected to Mactan Island via two bridges which includes the Mactan-Cebu Bridge and Marcelo Fernan Bridge And is bounded south and the west by the Provincial Capital, Cebu City and north by Consolacion which is linked with Cansaga Bay Bridge. The city has an area of about 34.87 square kilometres and has a total population of about 346,693 people.
A community was established in Mandaue by a flourishing group of Indonesian, Malayan and Chinese merchants in what was called the barangay. The Venetian chronicler Antonio Pigafetta wrote a settlement called Mandani existed in the area with a chieftain who was named Apo Noan then a few decades later another ruler named Lam Busan, probably Lakan Busan . Mandaue natives were forced into a town as decreed by the Spanish authorities. This may have started off as a mission village (which included present day Consolacion, Liloan and Poro) serving as a bulwark for the church in the northern Cebu and was managed by the Jesuit in 1638 then a century later by the Recollects. The Philippine revolution in 1898 gave the town a new form of administration in accordance with the organic decree of the Central Revolutionary Government. The short lived revolution was overthrown by the American Troops and a battle nearly destroys the town on 1901 and killing Presidente Benito Ceniza. Mandaue was Independent from being an American Commonwealth and a Japanese Garrison on July 4, 1946 along with the entire nation. Mandaue became a chartered city on June 21, 1969 by Mayor Demetrio Cortes Sr. The city was recognized as a HUC (Highly Urban City) on 1991.
hoy te vi
tras la clara lluvia de la tarde gris
te vi llorar
ocultando penas y un dolor que no
son de tu edad
sin saber
tu alegria se perdio
como la noche y al despertar
buscaras el nuevo dia que traera felicidad
quiero ser
el amigo que recorre tu camino
que no importa la sorpresa del destino
dia y noche siempre estara junto a ti
quiero ser
ese sol con el que brillara la luna
ser el viento con el que borra la bruma
y vivir mis sueños siempre junto a ti
dime que si
olvidar toda pena que te empaña
tu sonrisa ven junto a mi
quiero ver brillar tus ojos
que dan luz a mi vivir
quiero ser
el amigo que recorre tu camino
que no importa la sorpresa del destino
dia y noche siempre estara junto a ti
quiero ser
ese sol con el que brillara la luna
ser el viento con el que borra la bruma
y vivir mis sueños siempre junto a ti
quiero ser
el amigo que recorre tu camino
que no importa la sorpresa del destino
dia y noche siempre estara junto a ti
quiero ser
