I support the No to Flyovers in Cebu City. It would not actually solve the traffic problem, it will make it worse. The more we put flyovers, the number of vehicles will increase, pollutions does too, it will further add traffic congestion. Credits to Archt. Gerard Ocampo for the good shots. The less vehicles, the [...]
San Jose Bakeshop should be in my top three personal bakeshop list. I like their tasty bread. After a tiring photowalk around Guadalupe, I stopped by for a quick snack, and was blessed San Jose Bakeshop was just nearby. San Jose Bakeshop facade in Guadalupe, near Provincial Capitol. The bread display. My favourite bread, brown and a [...]
I’m not really a wine drinker, but I passed by this wine shop located along Gorordo Avenue. I have not entered inside this establishment yet. It looks intimidating, but hopefully I experience this place in the near future. The Wineshop sells imported wines, and is also a restaurant that offers breakfast, lunch and dinner. Reviews [...]
Video of Gaisano Capital South caught on fire. The fire started around 1am, and probably last about 24 hours, but 18 hours according to the news. Unknown to most Cebuanos, Gaisano South is about 8 storeys in height. So this probably made it difficult for firefighters to resolve. I used work here in year 2000.
I got this photo of Sotero Cabahug from a painting hanged on the wall of Cebu Capitol Building in Osmena Boulevard. Son of a farmer, he was born on April 22, 1891 in Mandaue City, Cebu. For his collegiate education he went to the then Colegio Seminario de San Carlos in Cebu City and San [...]
I’ve heard in the past from Cebuano politicians pushing Cebu City as the next capital of the Philippines, replacing Manila. I disagree with that idea. If I base it from Manila’s present condition, it does not look good. Yes, economically, Manila is up there in the clouds. Manila is over-populated, crime rates shooting up, congested [...]
Photo-walking along the National Highway in Talisay City. This is my first photos of Talisay City, and my second set outside of Cebu City. The first was in Camella Homes. Talisay City is about 8 to 9 kilometers south of Cebu City. by virtue of RA 8979, Talisay became a City on December 30 2000. [...]
Feel nostalgic with this Cebuano melancholic song while watching the old photos about Cebu City. The title of this post is based on the video posted by the original user, myaspa. I’m not sure if the title of this song “Oh Cebu Pagkatahum Mo Kaniadto”, probably it’s just the video. Here is the lyrics of [...]
Sergio Osmeña was the first Cebuano and Visayan to become the President of the Philippines. He was the fourth President of the Republic. Prior to the presidency, Osmeña also served as Vice President (1935 t 1944), congressman, and senator. Osmeña was born in Cebu City on September 9, 1878 and died on October 19, 1961, [...]
I still could not tell if this move is good for Cebu City or not. I don’t have any knowledge or statistics of other companies who made similar moves. Maybe something maybe lost in this, it’s pride. Aboitiz is one of the largest companies in the Philippines, and them transferring to a rival city will [...]
