A century later, Muslim pirates began terrorizing the entire Philippine coastline, including Oroquieta. The barrio folks built forts along the seashores to defend it against the attacking pirates along the coast, particularly in the present-day Cotta and in Barangay Mayao, though these structures are no longer extant. Hence, the place became known as <i><b>Cotta</b></i>, the Spanish form of the <a href="/wiki/Tagalog_language" title="Tagalog language">Tagalog</a> <i>kuta</i> ('fort'). The growth of local maritime trade facilitated in the Cotta port and the final defeat of Moro pirates plying the Luzon and Visayan waters, afforded the growth of Lucena as a town which eventually led to its being the provincial capital of Tayabas in 1901. </p><p>Finally on November 3, 1879, a royal decree was issued and the Orden Superior Civil officially adopted the name "<b>Lucena</b>" in honor of a Spanish friar by the name of Father Mariano Granja, who came from <a href="/wiki/Lucena,_C%C3%B3rdoba" title="Lucena, Córdoba">Lucena, Córdoba</a> in <a href="/wiki/Andalucia" class="mw-redirect" title="Andalucia">Andalucia</a>, Spain.

Year after year, the Pasayahan draws a sea of frolicking humanity. Pasayahan features the Chami Festival to promote Lucena’s very own native delicacies, the <i>chami</i> and <i>tinapa</i>. Other features, such as the <i>Binibining Pasayahan</i>, a street fashion show, a talent competition for LGBTQ youth, and other street concerts, take the stage in Pasayahan. Originally intended as three days of spirited merrymaking in the streets, the event has become a weeklong to monthlong tourist attraction.<sup id="cite_ref-33" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-33"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>33<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-34" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-34"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>34<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The celebration also coincides with the Feast of <a href="/wiki/Ferdinand_III_of_Castile" title="Ferdinand III of Castile">St. Ferdinand</a>, one of the patrons of the Catholic churches in Lucena, celebrated every 30 May. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Government">Government</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Lucena&action=edit&section=18" title="Edit section: Government"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Local_government">Local government</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Lucena&action=edit&section=19" title="Edit section: Local government"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951" /><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Sangguniang_Panglungsod" class="mw-redirect" title="Sangguniang Panglungsod">Sangguniang Panglungsod</a></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:New_Lucena_City_Hall.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/27/New_Lucena_City_Hall.jpg/250px-New_Lucena_City_Hall.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="124" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/27/New_Lucena_City_Hall.jpg/330px-New_Lucena_City_Hall.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/27/New_Lucena_City_Hall.jpg/500px-New_Lucena_City_Hall.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2048" data-file-height="1152" /></a><figcaption>Lucena City Government Complex</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Lucena_City_Hall_front_(Old_Manila_South_Road,_Lucena,_Quezon;_10-09-2022).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b4/Lucena_City_Hall_front_%28Old_Manila_South_Road%2C_Lucena%2C_Quezon%3B_10-09-2022%29.jpg/250px-Lucena_City_Hall_front_%28Old_Manila_South_Road%2C_Lucena%2C_Quezon%3B_10-09-2022%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b4/Lucena_City_Hall_front_%28Old_Manila_South_Road%2C_Lucena%2C_Quezon%3B_10-09-2022%29.jpg/330px-Lucena_City_Hall_front_%28Old_Manila_South_Road%2C_Lucena%2C_Quezon%3B_10-09-2022%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b4/Lucena_City_Hall_front_%28Old_Manila_South_Road%2C_Lucena%2C_Quezon%3B_10-09-2022%29.jpg/500px-Lucena_City_Hall_front_%28Old_Manila_South_Road%2C_Lucena%2C_Quezon%3B_10-09-2022%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3552" data-file-height="2664" /></a><figcaption>Old Lucena City Hall</figcaption></figure> <p>As a highly urbanized city, Lucena is independent of the province, but its residents are still allowed by Section 452-C of the Local Government Code of 1991 and its city charter (Republic Act No. 3271) to vote and run in provincial government elections.
