Lapu-lapu is one of the island in Cebu. It is the prime destination in the Philippines. And Poblacion is one of the barangays in Lapu-lapu. You can visit many places that is part of barangay Poblacion.Like the Virgen dela Regla Parish Church. Virgen dela Regla Parish Church is a miraculous church because of the wishes of the people that became true.The church is built before the war and that makes this sites hisroric.
Birhen sa Regla or Nuestra Señora Virgen De Regla Church. The story of Birhen sa Regla, when the image of Nazarene was burned, it turned black. The reason why it is called black Nazarene today. Birhen sa Regla's color is however different. The virgin is black as the devotion to the lady was started by St. Augustine (354-434 A.D) who was the bishop of Hippo in Northern Africa who had her image enshrined in his private oratory.
You might be asking why our lady of the rule was translated Birhen sa Regla when Regla is translated as menstrual period. It was explained that Regla rather refers to rule or order because menstrual period follows a rule of dates. Like Sto. Niño, Birhen sa Regla gave hope to the hopeless. It is nice to note that miracles big or small have strengthened the Oponganons. The prominent residents of Opon ordered a sculpture image and declared her titular Patroness of this church and choose to celebrate her feast day 21st on the November.
