Minglanilla, officially the Municipality of Minglanilla (; ), is a municipality in the province of Cebu, Philippines. According to the 2024 census, it has a population of 155,934 people.
It is known as the "Sugat Capital of the South" (where "Sugat" means "meeting" or "welcome" in Cebuano). A big event in Minglanilla is the Sugat, which attracts people from adjacent towns as well as from Cebu city and further afield. On Black Saturday night, a public dance is held at the church plaza to witness the reenactment of the "meeting" of the risen Christ and his mother. Their images, borne on richly decorated carrozas, meet amidst joyous songs and the presence of child angels suspended by wires. The Kabanhawan (Cebuano for "Resurrection") festival is held annually on Easter Sunday.
