Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu—Lapu-Lapu City mayor Junard “Ahong” Chan met with Manila Mayor Isko Moreno on Monday, October 14, 2019, at the Manila City hall.
Mayor Chan was with his wife, Cindi, Vice Mayor Celedonio Sitoy, city councilors, some city officials, and Secretary Adelino Sitoy of the Presidential Legislative Liaison Office when they visited the popular Manila Mayor.

Lapu-Lapu city had created a committee to focus on the preparations in coordination with the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) being the center of the Quincentennial celebration.
Both mayors also reportedly shared ideas on how they each resolve the concerns of their respective cities.
“Naghisgot mi sa serbisyo sa syudad, diin magtinabangay ang local government ug ang kabaranggayan kabahin aning bag-ong gipagawas nga executive order sa Presidente sa pagpanlimpiyo sa kabaybayunan,” said Mayor Chan, referring to the Mactan Channel and Manila Bay.
