Don Gil Garcia is located just beside and back of Provincial Cebu Capitol building.

I was looking for any information about Don Gil Garcia on the internet, but there is none. I think I should buy a book that solely talks about Cebu City and its people.

The street sign of Don Gil Garcia Street.

Drivers and passers by, enjoying their share of street food.

At the mouth of Don Gil Garcia St., on my right is the gate of Capitol.

Don Gil Garcia is mainly a residential area.

Jeepneys and taxis park here, maybe because it’s not so crowded, and the presence of side-walk vendors.

This residence was probably built during the 1970s.

I stopped right here, I’m hesitant to shoot since it’s mostly residential area.

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 more breathable Cebu is.

Wow, 600 million just for two flyovers.

Bike lanes and mass transit is a good idea.

Flyovers is more negative and positive.

Please join the call and support to fight against building new flyovers.

Bus Rapid Transit for Cebu, yeah baby. Diri na lang na ang 600 million.

Additional good alternative projects for the benefit of Cebu and Cebuanos.

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. This City is part of Metropolitan Cebu.

Gaisano Fiesta Mall. This is a sister company of Gaisano Capital.

The mode of transportation in Talisay City are tricycle, multicab and jeepney.

Honda sales outlet.

L3L battery shop and Lino electrical shop.

LGC’s Marketing, here you can find really cheap items, such as toys, chargers, furnitures and many more.

HP – Hi Precision, diagnostic clinic.

RCBC, I had to shoot farther from the bank, the guards can be paranoid with people holding DLSRs.

Shell station. See that jeepney at the left most? I took a ride in it.

This is the boundary of Talisay City and Cebu City.

Asian College of Technology.

OGRA internet cafe, Perfect Clean janitorial service.

Interior of the jeepney I rode..

The closer look of the driver area of the jeepney.

This is the second installment of my Cebu City Street Art series.

The Part 1 was mostly, or should I say entirely shot at the Queen City Gardens cemetery.

This set was shot in Cebu South Road, just at the entrance of F. Llamas St., Mambaling, in front of McDonalds.

I personally like the quality of these graffiti than the ones at Queen City Gardens (Part 1).

Sipat, meaning “naughty”.

These street mural can be seen along Queen City Memorial Garden, located in Cebu Reclamation Area, just close to Gaisano White Gold and SM Supermarket.

I started shooting at the SM side.

We used to have our own mural art here in 1997, we painted it at the old White Gold/Queensland side. It was part of a mural art contest. We did not win, but we got a consolation prize of P700, I think.

Anime inspired.

At first glance, I thought it was a real person.

Perfect World.

I think this murals were sponsored by the Perfect World online game.

Ragnarok characters.

I think the theme for these murals is promoting responsible gaming.

This is a good painting, nicely done.

Freestyle, an online basketball game. I used to play this everytime I visit the gaming cafe.

The caricature looks good, but overall it looks bare.

Using old fonts for a modern game.

RF Online. Not for kids.

Level Up, is the company behind Ragnarok, the first online game in the Philippines.

Play Hard, Study Harder. I hope the gaming kids follow this.

Voyager, I have not played this game.

Another version of the art based from Freestyle.

A short video  of  Colon Street I recorded. Sadly, it’s just less than one minute.

You can view the iconic Happy Mart.

My regret is I did not eat, I just photo walked. Well, anyway, I did eat here years ago, probably once or twice.

It would not hurt if I would eat here again. Just don’t drink the water being served here, hehe..

I have no idea who P. Gullas was. But I knew, Eddie Gullas is owner of University of the Visayas and politician, not sure if they’re related. I could not find any information on the web.

I started shooting at the Osmeña Boulevard area, or where Metro Gaisano is located.

Going in now, the wall on the right is Gaisano Metro or Metro Gaisano, whichever sounds good hahaha.

Looking back at Osmeña boulevard.

The shadow of Gaisano Metro providing additional shade.

Fried chicken, pork and tina-e.

P. Gullas street sign.

Eating snacks or late lunch. It was past 12:00 pm.

Nag sugba ug manok.

Are you hungry, ladies?

Delivering softdrinks to the food stalls.

I posted a Colon Street entry on April of last year. But it was only in the part of Cebu Business Hotel and University of the Visayas.

This is now in Gaisano Metro and Gaisano South area.

Colon Street sign.

Throngs of people in Colon Street sidewalk.

Sidewalk shops in Colon.

Oriente Cinema and Colonnade Mall.

New Cinema and Peter Go Building.

New Eden Theater, by the looking at the design of the building, this was probably built in the 1970s.

The old Vision theater, now a ticketing shop and other rental shops.

Getting closer to City Saving Bank. Ticket shops and stalls for passenger ships.

Number of people here have slightly gone down after the Ayala and other malls were built.

Shot just outside of City Savings Bank.

Crossing of Colon Street and Osmeña Boulevard.

I was so hungry, so I had to buy my favorite Filipino snack, the banana cue.
