Traditional and Spectacular Ceremony

True to this spirit of transformation, the festivities seamlessly blended time-honored customs with modern luxury. The Eye Dotting Ceremony, a sacred ritual believed to awaken the spirit of the lion, set the stage for an electrifying Lion Dance performance, filling the air with energy and excitement. Guests also participated in the Prosperity Yee Sang Toss, a symbolic act that represents abundance, luck, and unity for the year ahead. These traditions mirror JPark’s respect for cultural heritage even as it evolves.

Among the distinguished attendees at the celebration were key figures from JPark Island Resort and Waterpark, including General Manager Brian Connelly, VP of Sales & Marketing Ryan Cho, and Profood CFO Jonathan Uy. Also present were Lapu-Lapu City Mayor Junard “Ahong” Chan, Congresswoman Ma. Cynthia “Cindi” Chan, City Tourism Officer Garry Lao, and Tourism Commissioner Queenie Ammann.
