With its continuous pursuit to revive key events in Philippine History, Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar commemorates History Month through launching its newest interactive theatrical show titled, “HistoryLand.”
Las Casas breathes life to five of history’s key moments through unique staging and reenactments strategically stationed in five key areas of the sprawling 400-hectare heritage hotel and destination.
A labor of love of both Manila and Bataan actors, HistoryLand aims to transport these milestones and celebrate the successes of our forefathers.
Furthermore, the restored Spanish-Filipino casas serves as a scenic backdrop to a line-up of stellar performances.
HISTORYLAND highlights the following events:
BATTLE OF MACTAN
With his undeniable love for his community, Mactan Island’s chieftain Lapu-Lapu fought and won a bloody war. Watch how the native Filipinos used their might to fight against the powerful Spaniards and expect to see the death of Ferdinand Magellan.
