Magic & Folklore at the Heart of Maribago

-
The magical history of Maribago shines as the fable of a dolphin's bravery brings to life the vibrant cultural history of Mactan to new generations of Filipinos.

The tale of the hero Lapu-Lapu and his extraordinary friendship with the youngest of Maribago's mythical seven dolphins, is told in the colorful pages of the new illustrated children's book, Dolpo: The Story of a Dolphin.

Julie Alegrado-Vergara recounts the local folklore in an effort to share the cultural, almost magical, history of her hometown. Known as a cultural advocate, Julie tells of a legend that reflects her personal passion for culture and history - an appreciation she discovered during her study and travels across Europe. Retelling the tale of Lapu-Lapu and Dolpo in the children's book penned by Brad Geiser blends local history with Maribago's magical charm; thus, promising both young and old readers to discover and experience its beauty through its historical and cultural mystique.
