Cebu City Aerial View in 1938

Cebuano — Wed, 26 May 2010 01:09:46 +0000

This aerial view of our beloved Cebu City was taken before World War II in 1938.

I hope I could ride a chopper or airplane or make that buy my own helicopter or airplane and take photos of Cebu City in a similar view hahaha.

There a few structures and spots that i could notice are still existing today.

The factory-like buildings on the lower right of the photo is Aduana, i’m pretty sure of that.

The visible long strip of street located near the middle of the photo is Osmeña Boulevard.

The bald mountain was one of the reason why the Spanish administration left Cebu for Manila.

That same denuded mountain is main culprit of the flooding in Cebu City these days. Got worst by real estate developers by putting up subdivisions. Good thing Mayor (now Congressman) Tomas Osmeña intervened and stopped the construction.

Giligan’s Island Unfair Rule

Cebuano — Mon, 10 May 2010 23:48:43 +0000

Was at Giligan’s Island in The Terrraces in Ayala with friends. I really liked their food. I first tasted their food in Manila.

While waiting for our food, i saw the the sign below. Then when I looked outside, i saw two white foreigners drinking liquor and the other one wearing shorts. The tables outside are still part of Giligan’s Island.

The stupid sign.

A testament that indeed Pinoys worship the foreigners, especially the blond ones.

White foreigners reading this blog, please don’t be offended, it’s the Filipinos’ inconsistency is what i don’t like.

Pari-an Heritage Park

Cebuano — Sat, 24 Apr 2010 01:20:15 +0000

Parian Park is basically a showcase of the heritage and rich history of Cebu City and Cebu Province.

I went here at about 6:30 in the morning, to avoid the bad elements that are present during rush hours, hehe.

The Parian Fire Station, since 1954

The three churches in the upper left portion are probably Sto. Nino, Cebu Cathedral and i don’t know. Will research on this more, hehe..

The cone shape with triangular roof with wall is Port San Pedro.

I believe this one represents the first mass in Limasawa Island.

Lapu-Lapu fighting against Spanish soldiers.

The first mass and the people of Lapu-Lapu.

Pardo Cebu City

Cebuano — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 15:42:20 +0000

The location of this set of photos were taken in the area of Sto. Tomas de Villanueva Parish in Pardo, Cebu City. Full name of Pardo is “El Pardo” meaning grayish brown in Spanish.

Sto. Tomas de Villanueva Parish.

Closer view of Sto. Tomas de Villanueva Parish. There’s an “all seeing eye” in the circle window. The origin of that symbol is pagan.

Flame It Burgers and Sausages

Cebuano — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 12:24:00 +0000

Flame It Burgers and Sausages is probably the best tasting burger in the Philippines and is found only in Cebu.

Jollibee, McDonalds, Burger King and Hotshots just would not cut it.
