Kitang mga Sugboanon, pang-World Record jud!
Yesterday, another Guinness World Record was bagged by Cebu; the title? Well, it’s the “Largest Display of Origami Sharks In The World!” If you’re not impressed by that, its number may! An astonishing 12,749 well-folded origami thresher sharks were displayed at Lyf’s stadium area; imagine that!
Lyf Hotel Cebu was the one who creatively thought of taking on the record-breaking challenge. Successfully, they raised the Philippine flag high along with their advocacy on protecting marine life.
So, aside from the thousands of origami sharks, what other world records were we, Sugboanons, able to win?
Most Fireworks Blasted in Half a Minute
Last May 8, 2010, 125,801 fireworks rockets were launched in 30 seconds, organized by Pyroworks International Inc., with 16 stacks of 8,000 booming rockets!
Largest Board Game Tournament
Forty-three thousand one hundred fifty-seven chess players gathered up to play chess. Manned by the Cebu City Sports Commission, the Guinness was achieved alongside renowned chess players like Rogelio Antonio and Eugene Torre on January 22, 2012!
Largest Hanger
In Cebu, our parents use hangers as pamalo, so it’s not a surprise that we’ll also have the largest wooden coat hanger in the world! H&M Philippines made it on November 27, 2015, to showcase and advertise the store’s opening.
Largest Arnis Class
How many arnisadors does Guinness need to award a world record? 5,000 would be enough! And that’s why Cebu got recognition in 2015 when the Cebu City Sports Center set the largest arnis class in the world!
Largest Archery Lesson & Tournament
It took 13,102 participants to break the world record for the Largest Archery Lesson and Tournament. Of course, the Cebu City Sports Commission spearheaded the campaign on October 18, 2014.
Most Number of Inmates Dancing Simultaneously in One Place
Last but not least, the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation grabbed the world record for the Most Number of Inmates Dancing Simultaneously in One Place! The record’s goal was beyond recognition: to give inmates a better way to spend their days, such as through the art of dancing and exercising.
So, Sugboanons, what do you think would be the next World Record we’ll break? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
