THE Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway (CCLEX), now in its final stages of construction in Cebu City, the “Queen City of the South,” has been selected as one of the key sites related to an epic milestone — when the Philippines played a key role in helping achieve the circumnavigation of the world 500 years ago.
The National Quincentennial Commission (NQC) has chosen the modern iconic CCLEX as among the history-making structures built in time for the quincentenary of the circumnavigation.
On April 27, 2021, the CCLEX crosses will be lighted as part of the NQC’s quincentennial celebrations and will be incorporated in the evening show of the “500th Anniversary of the Victory of Mactan.”
The lighting of the CCLEX crosses will also be integrated in several other events such as the drone show and cultural show and the grand fireworks display at the Liberty Shrine in Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu.
