The launch brought together the crème de la crème of Camiguin’s community, with key figures from the local government unit (LGU) gracing the occasion. Attendees included Congressman Jurdin Jesus M. Romualdo, Governor Xavier Jesus D. Romualdo, Ms. Ria C. Romualdo, Mr. Yves Dann Romualdo from the Department of Tourism, and Poblacion Mambajao Chairman Peter Dan Romualdo.

A Celebration of Culture and Fire
The night kicked off with an electrifying performance from Yumbing National High School’s drum and lyre ensemble, complete with dazzling majorettes. The ceremonial ribbon cutting, led by Mr. Lhullier and Congressman Romualdo, marked the official opening of Lahon Steak Bar.
One of the evening’s highlights was a mesmerizing fire dance, paying homage to Lalahon, the goddess of volcanoes, harvest, and fire, who inspired the steak bar’s fiery theme. The performance perfectly symbolized the transformative energy Lahon brings to Camiguin’s dining scene.
