History

The City of Mandaue was founded in April 7, 1521, when the “Cove of Cebu”, was sighted by the Spanish expedition led by Ferdinand Magellan. The “Cove of Cebu”, located at the present Barangay Tipolo, became the first Spanish landing area which soon led to the establishment of a Spanish foothold into the Philippines. The establishment of the city marked the beginning of the colonization and resultant urbanization of the country. The city became an important landmark as it was a key port for the Acapulco Trade during the time.

In 1571, Spanish Conquestador, Legaspi established the country’s first drydock complex on the shorelines of Tipolo, Mandaue, in order to hasten the colonization of the area. The drydock facilities reportedly serviced the Galleons of Legaspi.

Historically, Mandaue got its name from the thick, clinging vines locally known as “mantawi” which were abundant in the area at the time. The city was already known as "Mantawi" even before Spanish colonization of the Philippines began. At the time, "Mantawi", with its eastern and southern boundaries facing the Mactan Strait, was already known as a “merchants’ paradise”. The major economic points within the area were already interlinked with several crude transportation network. The name "Mandaue" is a colloquialism of "Mantawi".

The “Cove of Cebu” was formally constituted into a “pueblo” between 1580 to 1700 and was officially known as the town of Mandaue in the year 1899.

Mandaue became a chartered city on June 21, 1969 through Republic Act 5519. The city was further recognized as a highly-urbanized city in 1991.

The development of the Cebu International Convention Center was steeped in controversy. Many critics considered it and still consider it as a "white elephant" which was built to the exacting and expensive requirements of the 12th ASEAN summit even with the high poverty rate of the region.

In April 7, 1521, Magellan first sighted the island of Sugbo in search for food and supplies for his vessels’ voyage back to Spain. Mandaue at that time was called “Mantawi” - derived from a vine that grew abundantly in the coves of the area. This community with abundant vines has even been mentioned by Antonio Pigafetta as a flourishing settlement nearest to Sebu under the leadership of Datu Lambuzzan.
