CEBU has to Offer!

  

Cebu is historically known for Lapu-Lapu and the Sto. Nino. These two are symbols that truly reflects of the island. Nonetheless, my October 2012 tour in Cebu was as beautiful as ever as it brings me back to my comfort zone. I was once lived in Cebu City for four years until November 2009 where i went back to Cagayan de Oro City, but Cebu never fails me of good weather and accommodating every time i came back on a yearly basis.

 From Cagayan de Oro, I travelled to Cebu via SuperFerry boat. An overnight travel that cost around 800 Php under Tourist accommodation. There are cheaper rates depending on what accommodation and ferry boat you chose from. SupperFerry on the other hand has the upper hand on the industry as they are the leading vessel company in the country. The boat is clean and has amenities and cafeteria/lounge bar.






It has view deck wherein you can chit-chat with friends and totally enjoy the see breeze watching the sky changes its color as the new dawn of the day greet with you with positivity and enthusiasm. 

Before docking to Port of Cebu, some interesting islets can be seen along the Cebu water channels. It will sparks curiosity to the historians as well as photo  enthusiast like me to take pictures of the beautiful scenery.




What better way to start the day in Cebu is to visit the Sto Nino Church. Around 10 minute ride from the port depending on the traffic. Cebu is also know as the island birth of Christianity in the Philippines and rich with historical site and prominent personalities of Philippine History.

Just adjacent to the Church is the Magellan famous Cross and Cebu City Hall. What's good about this site is that you can do a lot of photo shoots that tourist and merchants alike have fun to do.

And just few blocks from here comes another site. Plaza Independencia where the Malacanyan sa Sugbo and Port San Pedro is located. This the oldest and smallest old port in the Philippines.

You also need to visit University of San Carlos, the oldest school in Asia that was founded by the Society of Jesus also known as Jesuits. Their new and thriving Talamban Campus is an envy for other University. Equipped with big college building, laboratories, and the biggest library collections and state-of-the-art library system.

If you happen to love Churches, you need to visit the Archbishop Palace in Cebu. The person to see is Fr. Loreto Jaque and his DUWA group on expressive therapy, he was kind enough to lecture us on the Psychology of Love and had some group dynamics activity with his fellows.

Where else you may go to Cebu? Here are some tourist sites that are must-see and the usual site tourist flock-in during the summer season or for our case all year-long tourist destination.
