2011-12-14T01:32:00.000-08:00

The world’s largest book fair is coming to Cebu on January 10, 2012. MV Logos Hope is expecting more than 100,000 to step on board for its arrival.

The ship will arrive with more than 5,000 relevant book titles aboard at Malacañang Park, Cebu Port. This will mark Logos Hope's historic first visit to the Queen City of the South. Its sister ship, MV Doulos, has already visited Cebu in 2009.

Plan your Sinulog 2012 week ahead? and find out what's in store for Sinulog 2012.

The ship is registered to the Port of the Scandinavian Faroe Islands. Its gross weight tonnage is 12,519 tons while its dead weight tonnage is 6,400 tons. It has a crew of around 400 members, including six Filipinos and a Cebuano, hailing from 45 countries across the world.

The members of the MV Logos ship crew voluntarily render their time and service to the book library.

The overall book carrying capacity of the library is around 1,100 cubic meters.

The vessel has book titles that you cannot see in most bookstores. There are books and video disc titles suitable for children and for adults.

It is worthy and enjoyable to be there with the entire family.

Logos Hope has books for recreational reading, professional preferences, and personality and individual development and books talking about global cultures.

Logos Hope also offers an educational program, feeding program, volunteer program and cultural program, training programs and many more. The ship has also several activities in line for visitors.

Apart from the book sale, Logos Hope also extends literary aid to people in developing countries. In the course of its service, it has donated textbooks ad reference volumes to individuals, schools, libraries, community groups, colleges, and universities.

The wide range of literature on board offers visitors many opportunities for personal development.

The crew and staff come from many different nations and cultures. Despite their differences, they seek to understand and respect one another, and work together to serve the people in ports the ship visits. As people meet and interact with those on board, they are inspired and given hope for restoration of relationships in their families and communities.

International crew members can share their life experiences in traveling around the world. The ship is fully airconditioned and you can actually have a good conversation with them at the cafe.

The official opening is on January 11 and will run until February 14. Tickets are available at the ticket booth for P20. Admission is free for kids aged five years below.

Sinulog 2011 crowd may hit 2 million

2011-01-06T19:07:00.000-08:00

About two million people are expected to watch the Sinulog parade on January 16, prompting organizers to appeal for tight security from the police and private establishments.

With the festivities only a little over a week away, the estimated 9,000 rooms in the different hotels in the city are already booked, said Ricky Ballesteros, executive director of the Sinulog Foundation Inc. (SFI).

The 600 white tickets, the most expensive tickets to the grandstand of the Cebu City Sports Center (CCSC), were also sold out two days after the SFI started selling these. The white ticket costs P600.

Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama said he invited President Benigno Aquino III to the January 16 event, but the latter has not yet confirmed if he can make it.

The mayor also invited representatives from the City of Yeosu in Korea, one of Cebu City's sister-cities.

He asked the private sector to help government agencies and the Philippine National Police (PNP) ensure the safety of tourists, during the city's busiest tourism season.

"We have to invest in security and visibility will be highlighted. If the security guards of the establishments can man the area outside their building, then why not?" he said.

In last year's grand parade, a top police official estimated some eight million people turned up in the grandstand and along the parade route, to watch the 11-hour show.

In an interview last year, Ballesteros had said the CCSC was "getting too small for the Sinulog."

To improve access to accommodations, Ballesteros this year also urged the Department of Tourism to come up with a home-stay program for tourists.

Meanwhile, Governor Gwendolyn Garcia said the Province is ready to extend financial assistance for the Sinulog.

"They only have to ask," she said.

Sinulog Procession

2010-01-14T20:32:00.000-08:00

INVITE EVERYONE!

The Sinulog Procession takes place on the eve of Sinulog. Before the streets fill up for the parade on Sunday, they become a path for the devotees on Saturday. This is the route where people – Cebuanos and non-Cebuanos alike – pay tribute, give thanks and offer petitions to the Child Jesus, or Santo Niño. On January 16, Saturday, starting at 1:30 p.m., devotees will gather in the Basilica del SantoNiño and pray the rosary as they walk in solemn procession before the image ofthe Holy Child. This will end at 6:00 in the same place where it began. This is symbolic of the very essence of Sinulog – that everything that God has given us can only be offered to Him in return.

Cebu’s best tourist spots secrets

2009-08-15T04:19:00.000-07:00

THERE are plenty of regular haunts in Cebu that everyone knows about, from the five-star resorts in Mactan to the typical tourist spots in the city where everyone brings first-timers. Do yourself a favor and skip all the places where the tourists with the big hats and fanny packs and cameras around their necks hang out.
In no particular order, here’s a list of alternatives for your next visit to Cebu:

1. Zone 360 Restaurant and Bar

Beer monsters, rejoice! Ice-cold San Mig Light and Pilsen at only P40, and six bottles of ice-cold Red Horse for only P200 are specialties of this totally unpretentious casual resto-bar with good, fast service and an even better policy – if the beer’s not ice cold, it’s free!

Unlike the freezing technology for Beer Below Zero, the system for extremely cold beer here was developed by two homegrown buddies – Vincent Lazaro and Glenn Gucor – through their combined backgrounds in engineering and IT, and their genuine passion for drinking cold beer.

The bar chow is good, especially the Dynamite Roll, ham, cheese and chili pepper wrapped in spring roll wrapper. Other popular dishes include Sinigang na Lechon, maskara (deep-fried pork cheeks), and the sizzling balut, which is not for the faint of heart.

Zone 360 is at Grill Ave., Gen. Maxilom Ave. (in front of Mango Park Hotel). Call
+32 231-ZONE. Open Monday-Saturday, 5:30 p.m.-2 a.m.

2. Second Chance

A venue for rebirth and a new beginning, Second Chance is not a place for sinners seeking redemption or a drug rehab clinic. It does, however, give new life to old leather. Bring in old shoes, wallets, bags, jackets, belts and any old leather items and pick them up in a few days distinctly restored. They can even change the flaking leatherette from your favorite pair of sandals to real leather.

Second Chance is at F. Ramos St. Call +32-2361673. Open Monday-Saturday, 10 a.m.-
7 p.m.

3. Jaime Chua’s farm

Located up in the mountains of Mawmawan, Busay, drive through the scenic trans-central highway, and follow the road to the right at the 15.5-km point (immediately after a “reduce speed” road sign), and see Jaime Chua’s gorgeous 1.7-hectare showcase of orchids, ornamental plants, water plants, birds of paradise and herbs. If you’ve reached Ayala Heights, make a U-ey, because you’ve gone too far.

Call Daisy at 0917-3245949 for inquiries.

4. Bodo’s Bamboo Bar

One of the best places to check out the amazing view of the Alcoy coastline, which has earned a reputation as the French Riviera of Cebu for its azure-blue sea, is over lunch at this German-Filipino couple-owned resort on a hill. The resort’s breezy restaurant offers panoramic views of the sea, including the neighboring island of Bohol, and serves international and Filipino dishes with the coldest beers.

Bodo’s Bamboo Bar is in Pasol, Alcoy. Call +32-4839119, 0905-3427189.

5. Pandanon Island

If you looked up the dictionary for the definition of “island paradise,” you’d find a photo of this island. Only a 45-minute pump-boat ride from Mactan – though it’s already considered part of Bohol – this 2-hectare stretch of white coral sand is the perfect place to worship the sea and sun. Bring your own volleyball, food and beer, and you can rent a hut to put your things in, and a grill to barbecue from an island cooperative. Cover is P150 a head, and proceeds go to the community of about 350 families and 2,000 people who reside on the western part of the island.

For more details, contact Getafe Councilor and Pandanon managing owner Tony Pet Ouano at 0917-6026756.

6. Kawasan Falls

Two and a half hours by car southwest of Cebu City, Kawasan Falls in Matutinao, south of Badian, is a beautiful three-tiered cascade of mountain freshwater. You have to be decently fit to explore the falls – it’s a 2-kilometer walk along a rocky, narrow path from the parking area, then about 50 uneven steps up to the waterfalls. The higher up the river valley, the more picturesque the sight and the wilder the scenery, with areas that require swimming up a gorge and scrambling up rocks. Enjoy a picnic lunch and a cool swim in the falls.

Book your trip with Alice Queblatin of Southwind Travel and Tours at +32-4172247 to 49 or at mall@southwind-online.net.

7. Unchuan farm

Officially known as Molave Wood Farms and Stables, this 38-hectare farm has practically everything – a natural spring that cascades like a small waterfall, a Japanese koi pond, a firing range and a mini-golf course. Animals include cows and carabaos, pigs with their own swimming pool, ostriches, pheasants, ducks, horses, geese, and sheep imported from Australia, which if likened to cows, are of wagyu standard.

While at the farm, grab a cone of their super fresh milk ice cream, made from cow or carabao milk, or buy their carabao cheese to bring home.

Unchuan farm is on the main road in Barili, southern Cebu. Contact Paquito Unchuan at 0917-3216545 for inquiries.

8. “40” The Band

It doesn’t matter that they’re better known as “40” The Band from way back, but are currently called Cuarenta, with only two original band members, Arnold Ang on guitar and Lyndon Banzon on bass guitar. Together with Henri Tradio and Randy Pages on guitar, Juel Zuleta on drums and Kaye Tradio on vocals, these guys are phenomenal. Catch them playing classic rock and blues covers of Eric Clapton, Pink Floyd, BB King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, AC/DC, Jimmy Hendrix and Led Zep at the laid-back hangout The Outpost on Nivel Hills.

To find out their schedule of gigs, call Arnold Ang at 0928-5209932.

9. Dive instructor
John Melendres

Learn to dive with Cebu’s best dive instructor who has been giving safe and fun lessons since 1998. Parents trust their young kids with John because he puts safety first, and is primarily concerned with your experience underwater, not his own. Patient and uncompromising, John is the best person to go to for your Padi Open Water license. The whole course takes a minimum of three days, and at P12,500, already includes your license, dive manuals and gear, and four dives to Mactan’s best dive spots like Nalusuan, Gilutungan, Talima, Dakit and Tingo. If you’re lucky, you’ll see great barracudas and eagle rays at Dakit, just along the shores of Mactan, or thresher sharks at Tingo, which is only a 10-minute boat ride away from Mactan.

Contact John Melendres at 0917-6218911 or at johnmelendres@gmail.com.

10. 10 Dove St.

Marisol Verallo serves amazing value-for-money meals in a tasteful, cozy 25-seater café, just outside her house. For P185, you can have your choice of salad, soup, sandwich and cake from a pretty extensive menu. For small parties, you can book the entire café and choose from well-priced set menus. Better known as the person to call for sweet treats, Marisol’s classic Chocolate Decadence cake, made from Belgian chocolates, and bite-size Harvard Squares have had a cult following for over a decade. Her newer mango creations, such as Mango Avocado Cake, Mango Ube Cake and Mango Pandan Cake, are also sublime.

10 Dove Street is in Sto. Niño Village, Banilad, Cebu City. Call +32-3460618. Open Monday-Saturday, 11:30 a.m.-10 p.m.

11. Café Georg

This café is not a secret at all, and in fact, I think everybody in Cebu frequents this joint –it’s always packed for lunch and dinner, but it’s a must-stop for a meal in the city for the simple reason that the food is always consistently good and the price is right. Bunny Ludo-Alcordo has done an excellent job with the comfort-food menu, offering something for everyone. The pastas are super, especially the mushroom asparagus pasta, tomato and basil pasta, and the aglio olio, and the cakes make fighting for the last piece on the plate well worth it.

Café Georg is at Banilad. Call +32-2340887.

12. Yu residence

This private residence in Barili is a beautiful old house, which originally served as the town’s municipal hall, and is now the weekend home of the Yu family. The Old-World elegance of the house, with its well-maintained wooden staircase, antique vases, mirrors and other home accents, gives you a glimpse of what life was like for the well-to-do then.

To arrange for a tour or have a meal served at the house, contact Alice Queblatin of Southwind Travel and Tours at +32-4172247 to 49 or at mall@southwind-online.net.

13. ‘Chicharon’ and St. Catherine’s Church in Carcar

A trip to the South will lead you to Cebu’s second oldest church, Carcar church, with its twin bell towers made with Muslim-style minarets. St. Catherine of Alexandria, the patron saint of Carcar, is honored with a statue on church grounds. At the rotunda of the town, witness a flurry of activity with vendors selling the locally made ampaw or rice puffs, as well as the very unholy chicharon, pork rind deep-fried in boiling lard.

14. Badian Island

About two and a half hours from the city by car and an additional five minutes by boat –
or by special request, less than 30 minutes from the airport by helicopter, this island beach destination at the southwest coast of Cebu is stunningly beautiful, luxurious and ultra private. Their website describes the white sands as “whisk[ing] you out into an inspiring world between heaven and ocean,” and they are not exaggerating. The well-appointed all-suite resort offers generously large rooms with secluded balconies, and the Thalasso Pool Villa comes with a private seawater pool overlooking Badian Bay and the mountains of Cebu.

Call Badian Island Resort and Spa at +32-4751102 to 1106 or visit badianhotel.com.

15. Crocolandia

About a half-hour drive from Cebu’s city center is a well-maintained nature conservation center in Talisay, which houses birds, lizards, snakes, civets, ostriches, eagles and other rare animals, including crocodiles. The park’s most famous resident is Lapu-Lapu, a six-meter long saltwater crocodile. Watch the crowd’s reaction when the park attendants feed it whole chickens – you can see a lightbulb go on in everybody’s head with a better understanding of the sign “Do not extend your hands beyond the rails.”

Crocolandia is at Biasong, Talisay. Call +32-2731842. Open 8 a.m.-5 p.m. daily.

16. Montenegro Sylvannas

Indulge in this much-loved sweet treat – a light and creamy cashew pastry with butter cream filling – by the lady who has been baking them since the ’70s. Known as the best in town, Nena Montenegro’s sylvannas make excellent household snacks, party desserts or gifts at P370 for 24 pieces or P230 for 15 pieces.

To order, call +32-2322902. Pick up your order at #20 Dr. Tojong St. (just a stone’s throw away from Ayala).

17. Guitar shops

Known for its guitar-making industry, Cebu’s guitars, especially the ones from Maribago, Mactan, are considered top brass by guitar enthusiasts. Visit backyard factories in Maribago and catch guitar makers turning out quality handcrafted guitars of all sizes. One of the coolest scenes along the factories is a backpacker with a massive backpack on her back with a bottle of water on one bag pocket, and a newly bought guitar on the other side of the bag.

Cebu the Queen City of the South

2009-08-05T07:38:00.000-07:00

Cebu City is situated off the eastern coast of the main island of Cebu Province in the southern Philippines. Looking into the Philippine history, Cebu is the site of the very first Spanish settlement in the country, thus ushering in the Spanish colonial era of the Philippines. The city is dubbed as the Southern Philippines' Queen City and is one of the country's strongest economies.

The city is also a center of commerce with busy seaports and an international airport that boosts its trade and industry. Cebu is one of the centers of trade, which actually is the most important one, in the southern Philippines. Both tourists and businessmen find their way south not only to take part of the trade but to enjoy the beautiful scenery also.

Cebu Weather

December to May would be the best time to visit Cebu City. It will usually be dry during this time without the usual tropical rains that fall the rest of the year. If you want to see Cebu during the coolest times of the year, you should go there from December to February. The months from March to May are the hottest, which is usually the peak of the summer heat.

Places to See in Cebu City

There are a lot of places to see in Cebu City. Much of the sites and key attractions are religious as well as historical. You'll find that a large part of the Cebu City's culture is shaped by its religious and colonial heritage. Some of places to see here are Basilica Minore del Santo Niño, Lapu-Lapu Monument, Magellan Marker, and the Taoist Temple.

Other places to see in Cebu that are not of religious or cultural nature include Tops Skyline Garden, Mount Maninglaw, Santa Rosa Falls, Kawasan Falls, Liloan Lighthouse, Olango Wildlife Sanctuary, and an array of fine beaches.

Cebu's Resorts and Hotels

The city has a wide range of accommodations for different travelers. Budget class, mid-range, and first class travelers will find accommodations at reasonable prices. This does not go on to say that a budget hotel in Cebu is a ragtag sort of a place. On the contrary, you'll find budget hotels here to be elegant though quite modest when it comes to decor. Of course, travelers should always check if a hotel or inn is at par with acceptable standards.

Some budget class inns and hotels in the city are Westpoint Inn along Don Gil Garcia St., Stakili Estaca Beach Garden Resort on Km. 23, Kiwi Lodge on G. Tud Tud St., Hotel de Mercedes on Pelaez St., and Century Hotel at the corner of Pelaez and Colon. Average rates for budget class hotels in the city are around $15 to $20, but you should check currency exchange rates.

Mid-range hotels in Cebu City include Crown Regency Hotel along Osmeña Boulevard, Costabella Beach Resort on Mactan Island, Cebu Midtown Hotel on Fuente Osmeña, Cebu Grand Hotel on North Escario St., Castle Peak at the corner of Pres. Quezon and F. Cabahug St., and Rajah Park Hotel along Fuente Osmeña. Mid-range hotel rates range from around $35 to more than $100.

First class hotels in Cebu City include Crown Regency Suites Mactan along Maximo Patalinhug Jr. Avenue in Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu Hilton Resort and Spa on Mactan Island, Marriot Hotel in the Ayala Business Park, Waterfront Airport Hotel and Casino Mactan along Airport Road, and White Sands at Maribago Beach on Mactan Island. Rates for hotels of this class start around $85.

Places to Eat in Cebu

There is a wide array of restaurants to choose from when dining in Cebu. You'll find both Asian Oriental and Western cuisine.

Over forty years later, Miguel Lopez de Legazpi came and took over the entire province. For over 300 years the Spanish would rule until 1898, when the Americans came.

Sightseeing in Cebu Tourist Spots

2009-08-05T07:32:00.000-07:00

Cebu is without question one of the economic powerhouses of the Philippines today, and it is also undisputed that a great deal of this is due to the ever increasing number of tourists, both foreign and local, that have been drawn to the place. There are an endless number of places that you can visit, but among those that must not be missed include the following.

The Cross of Ferdinand Magellan

Few historical landmarks in the Philippines is as well known or highly regarded as this cross. Upon his arrival to the Philippines on April 21, 1521, Ferdinand Magellan and his men were greeted by the then ruler of Cebu, Raja Humabon and his wife. A friendship was born between the two, and as a symbol of peace, Magellan installed a wooden cross upon the shore on which he had stepped on.

Today the cross can be found in a chapel adjacent to the Basilica Minore de Santo Nino, on a street bearing his name (Magallanes). The chapel itself is a main tourist attraction in Cebu; hexagonal in shape, the visitor is greeted, once inside, by breathtaking paintings reminiscent of the works of Renaissance masters.
The cross itself cannot be missed, as it is in the center. To prevent further erosion, the relic has been placed within another cross, which is what people will see.

The Lapu-Lapu Shrine

Along with the Magellan Shrine, there is also one dedicated to Lapu-Lapu in Punta Engano, Mactan. There is an 80ft (20 meters) statue of the chieftain and there are also artful depictions of the famed Battle of Mactan.

The Basílica Minore de Santo Nino

According to legend, sometime in 1565, some friars found a wooden chest on the shores where Magellan had landed, and inside they found a black Sto. Nino (the Infant Jesus). Believing it to be a miracle, the Augustinian priest Andres de Urdaneta had a church built on the spot where the statue was found, which would become

the Basilica de Santo Nino.

The Basilica underwent several construction phases; when it was initially built the material consisted of wood and bare earth. In 1735, Governor Fernando Valdes of Cebu ordered that stones be placed around the edifice to strengthen it.

Among the numerous objects that can be seen include a grand rosary, statues, images, and garments worn by the clergy. There are also antique furniture inside the Basilica.

The Taoist Temple

No trip to Cebu would be complete without visiting the Taoist Temple. Constructed in the early 1970s, the place has become very popular not just among tourists but also the Cebuanos themselves.
Surrounded by lush trees, the first thing that will impress the traveler is the entryway which has been modeled to resemble the Great Wall of China.

Once inside one can explore the site (for it is open to all, regardless of belief). There is library, a chapel, a place where you can buy souvenirs, and also the dragon statue.

The Marcelo Fernan Bridge

A marvel of engineering, the bridge is a testament to the modern infrastructure that pervades in Cebu. Measuring over 4,000 ft (12,00 meters) it forms the link between the islands of Cebu and Mactan. Unlike other bridges in the Philippines, the structure has four lanes, plus pedestrian sidewalks. Built in 1999, the bridge was named after Marcelo Fernan, a Cebuano who would become a Supreme Court Justice and later Senate President.

The Magellan Shrine

One of the most popular landmark in Mactan Island in Cebu, the shrine is some 100 ft high (30 meters) and located in Punta Engano. It was built in honor of the famed Spanish explorer, and the site where the shrine was built is said to be where Magellan was slain by Lapu-Lapu.

Fort San Pedro

Within the Plaza Independencia in the Pier Area lies Fort San Pedro, a military stronghold whose construction was decreed by no less than Miguel Lopez de Legazpi.

It is an imposing structure, measuring some 6,660 sq ft (2,000 sq. meters) and some 30 ft (9 meters) tall, it has served a variety of functions. Its initial reason for being was to help the Spanish in their battles against the Muslims. Later on it became a stronghold of the American forces after they defeated the Spaniards.

Before World War II erupted it was turned into a school. During the war, several members of the Japanese Army sought refuge in the place, but when it was retrieved by the Allies it became a sanctuary for the wounded.

Today various parts of the building have been restored and is now one of Cebu’s main attractions. Today one will find in Fort San Pedro a museum, artwork, chapels, gardens and prisons.

How to get to Cebu

2009-08-05T07:30:00.000-07:00

The island of Cebu serves as the entry point to about two-thirds of the Philippines. Upon landing in this island, the first thing that comes to the minds of the tourists is to take a historical tour, go hiking, practice their tee shot, or take a plunge at the island’s coral reefs, considered as among the world’s best.

Being a tourism hub in the country, Cebu is accessible by all possible means of transportation – air, land, and sea. Here we will take a look at the various transportation options when going in and around Cebu.

How to get to Cebu By Air

Air transportation to and from Cebu is possible locally as well as internationally. Among the national carriers, Cebu Pacific and Philippine Airlines are the most common airplanes that land in Mactan Airport. Among the international carriers, Silk Air arrives from Singapore.

From Hong Kong, the frequent carriers landing in the airport are Cathay Pacific and Cebu Pacific. Qatar Airways has a direct connection to Mactan Airport from the Middle East country. From Manila, direct flights to Cebu are made at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport.

How to get to Cebu By Sea

The Super Ferry is one of the more comfortable means of transportation from Manila to Cebu. Cabin reservations can be arranged by those who are planning to bring along their friends or families. The Quadruple Cabin sharing has its own toilet and bath. The trip normally takes about a day. There are daily trips with the exception of Saturday.

To go island hopping, bancas are the best means of transportation.

How to get to Cebu By Land

Taking the bus is the best option when travelling from one end of Cebu to another. This can be done by taking a ride from the north or south terminal.

Jeepneys provide the mode of transportation when going for a city trip. This gives tourists the chance to meet local people. Likewise, there is the tartanilla, which are horse-drawn carts, that give tourists the chance to experience the lives of early Cebuanos.

Because of their availability around the city, taxis have been the most preferred mode of traveling in and around Cebu. Aside from accessibility, taxis are also cheap and efficient. The majority of the drivers know their way around the city. One can easily flag down another taxi in case the first driver is not familiar with the city.

Most of the taxis in the island are metered. The fare starts at 30 pesos and an additional 2.50 would be charged for every half kilometer. There is likewise a 2.50 pesos additional fee for every five minutes that you make the driver wait. One must be cautious of drivers who refuse to use their meters or collect fare that exceeds the amount indicated on the meter.

Whenever you encounter taxi drivers who refuse to use the meter or deliberately go to the wrong direction, the best thing to do is to embark from the taxi and flag down another cab. However, if the driver is very courteous, you could give them an additional 10 to 20 pesos for their services and for unloading your baggage from their compartment.

Whenever possible, do not take private taxis. These drivers usually have the tendency of taking advantage of tourists by charging them five to ten times more than the regular rate. Taking private taxis is advisable only when you are going on a long trip and you would want to negotiate for a fixed cost.

As you can see, whatever mode of transportation you choose, there is an assurance that you will be reaching your destination. Now, there is no excuse for you not to visit Magellan’s Cross and other tourist destinations that Cebu has to offer.

Of course, you can find most products in the Carbon Market as well, but if you don’t have the time to visit the market before you leave Cebu, you can always drop by these stalls and get some fresh or dried mangoes, dried fish, dried squid, otap and mango-tamarind candies. There are also some stores that sell t-shirts, guitars and bags.

Alegre guitar factory

Cebu shopping is certainly not complete if you are not lagging a guitar on your way home. Now, if you are looking for a well-crafted guitar, you should visit the Alegre guitar factory. This shop sells various string instruments like mandolins, ukuleles and of course, guitars. The factory does not ship out guitars, however, so if you want to buy, you have to carry your purchase home. If you want to have more options, you should visit Maribago, the center of the city’s guitar making industry. You could also try the Opon area in Mactan, Cebu. World-class quality guitars are also crafted in that area.

SM City

Cebu shopping is not limited to native products or handicrafts. The city boasts of numerous shopping malls. One of the biggest malls in Cebu is SM City, a 4-level building with department store, supermarket, eight movie theaters, bowling center, amusement center, trade hall, and numerous retail outlets and restaurants. This mall is often packed with a lot of local shoppers.

Aside from SM City, Cebu also has Ayala Mall, one of the swankiest shopping centers in the city. This mall seemingly caters more to the tastes and preferences of foreign tourists. It is the biggest shopping mall in the city. It offers similar facilities as those of SM City, but its retail outlets carry Western products and its restaurants offer Western cuisines and delicacies.

Robinson’s Place and smaller malls

Aside from SM City and Ayala Mall, Cebu also has Robinson’s Place. Unfortunately, this mall has lost its popularity and its luster after the other grand malls were built. Cebu shopping, however, also offers smaller malls that you can visit if you still have time to spare. These include Country Mall, E-Mall and Mango Square.

Shopping in Cebu can be a great experience. From dried mangoes, to dried squids, to Calvin Klein jeans from Ayala Mall, Cebu shopping is indeed fun. If you are planning to visit the city soon and you plan to do some shopping, you should consider learning how to haggle for prices, so you will have more fun bargaining for your purchases.

Hospitals in Cebu

2009-08-05T07:28:00.001-07:00

Cebu provides some of the best medical and health care services and facilities in the country through its quality hospitals. Here are some hospitals in Cebu.

Cebu Doctors’ University (CDU) Hospital

This 300-bed tertiary hospital in Cebu started in August 1972 as an infirmary for patient-care, monitoring, treatment, rehabilitation, and health maintenance and improvement purposes. It is staffed with some of the best medical personnel in the city of Cebu with the necessary skills and knowledge. It believes that patient care is two-fold; medical and spiritual care. Thus, it has a partnership with the Sisters of St. Paul de Chartres.

CDU hospital in Cebu is also among medico-educational research bases in the country, with its modern facilities for neurology, pediatrics, obstetrics, cardiovascular surgery, and EENT, among others, and hi-tech equipments like Fenwal Amicus Separator, Hsiangtai Centrifuge, APERTO, and Hematology Analyzer, among many others.

Perpetual Soccour Hospital

Perpetual Soccour Hospital in Cebu started in 1936 as a rundown hut where poor patients were cared for by two nuns and a young nun-nurse. The underprivileged patients merely gave vegetables and fruits as a love gift for the compassionate missionaries. On better occasions they gave chickens. Then World War II ravaged it. But in April 1959 a new 100-bed hospital in Cebu was inaugurated and started operations as Perpetual Soccour Hospital. It is known for hospital and medical care with a heart specializing in heart, kidney, cancer, and rehabilitation, blood donating, and even feeding poor kids, among many others.

Cebu City Medical Center

Envisioned as a world-class hospital in Cebu, this infirmary is government owned and has a holistic approach in patient care and treatment. It boasts of a generally accepted medical and paramedical program and training facilities for the same, as well. Various medical departments of Cebu City Medical Center includes medical and dental services, ancillary services, nursing services, and administrative services, among others. For better community service, this hospital in Cebu has satellite emergency infirmaries in Barangays Bonbon and Guba.

Vicente Sotto Medical Center

Named after the famous senator in the early 1900s, this general tertiary hospital in Cebu started in 1911. Known then as “Hospital Del Sur,” this 30-bed hospital grew to being a 350-bed hospital in 1984 when it became a medical center. Sometime before this, it also was re-named “Southern Islands Hospital.” It is dedicated to providing preventative, curative, and rehabilitative medical and health care for Cebu City. It offers all general medical services as well as specialized ones, like Urology, Orthopedics, Ophthalmology, and Neurosurgery, among others.

Cebu (Velez) General Hospital

This hardworking 200-bed hospital in Cebu serves about 8000 patients annually. It is staffed with some of the best medical professionals of Cebu City, many of whom are supplied by the Cebu Institute of Medicine, its renowned medical school. Cebu Velez General also has a 30-bassinet nursery. This general hospital in Cebu is known for focusing on mother-baby health care, among many other things, and especially on available rooming-in features.

Chong Hua Hospital

Home of many of Cebu’s top medical specialists and sub-specialists, this hospital in Cebu has 660 beds and modern equipments and facilities. This 11-level twin tower infirmary is easy to locate in the center of the city proper of Cebu. It started in 1909 when it began to provide Cebu folks with quality medical and hospitalization facilities and treatment and was among pioneers in the Visayas and Mindanao areas.

These are just some of Cebu’s excellent infirmaries. Being the queen city in the south, Cebu has quality hospitals for its residents and visitors. Medical and health care are ideal in this city and there are plenty of options to choose from.

Cebu Festivals

2009-08-05T07:26:00.000-07:00

The Sinulog Festival

Topping the list of all the fiestas and celebrations in Cebu is without doubt the Sinulog Festival. Held on the third day of the first month of the year, this is a glorious feast for the Santo Nino de Cebu, the most revered religious figure in the province.

In its most basic concept, the festival is all about remembering the past religious beliefs of the Cebuanos and their conversion to Christianity. There are actually several of these held in the various parts of the island, but the biggest one is of course in Cebu City.

At the center is a massive and colorful street dance parade. The participants are all clad in colorful and traditional attire, and their movement is accompanied by the beat and rhythm of musical instruments, ranging from gongs to trumpets to drums and the clapping and cheering of the audience.

At the ninth day of the Sinulog feast comes the Grand Parade; before it commences a boat procession of the Santo Nino at the early morning hours takes place, with the statue adorned with various flowers, relics and candles.

The journey commences at Mandaue and ends at the Basilica. A street procession follows later in the day. This is followed by a Mass, and then the resumption of the street parade.

Marawi Festival

This feast is held every 7th of May, principally in Mandaue City. In essence, it is all about the foundation of the city, and the vital role it played in Cebu’s history after Magellan first set foot upon it.

As with other fiestas, there are colorful street dancing, but at the same there are also dramas and plays that serve to highlight the important points in the city’s past. There are also figures from local folklore, like the giants and elves, and there are also various floats. There is also a grand fireworks show, and a contest for the finest street dancers and floats.

The Fiesta of the Virgin
Held every November 21, this event once again symbolizes the unique blend of religious piety and celebration that Cebu is known for.

This feast, like most others, is in honor of a patron saint (Opon). Beside a procession of religious relics and images, there is alongside it a festival of food sharing and a a pageant that culminates in the unveiling of the chosen Fiesta Queen.
Paskuhan

Christmas (Paskuhan) is the most widely awaited holiday of the year for Cebuanos, and the celebrations begin in early December.

From homes to malls to shops, you will see colorful lights signifying the Yuletide season. The parol and other Christmas decors will be hung over the homes, and there will be plenty of songs, gatherings and gift giving all throughout the month. The caroling, a Filipino tradition, wherein children go from house to house singing Christmas songs, is alive and well in Cebu.
Kadaugan sa Mactan

Every 27th of April at the Mactan Shrine in Puerto Engano, Mactan, the people reenact the Battle of Mactan, where the famed Spanish explorer Ferdinand Magellan met his end at the hands of Lapu-Lapu.

The event lasts for a whole day, and there are plenty of activities held throughout. These include, for visitors, a tour of the major battlegrounds, as well as other places of interest. One can also find information on the culture of the people whom Magellan encountered. The highlight of course, is the re-staging of the epic battle.
Fiesta sa Carcar

Every 24th of November, the town of Carcar in Cebu holds a feast on behalf of its patron saint, Saint Catherine.

While there are several aspects and activities in the festival, the most notable is what may be called the food fest. The residents would open their doors to neighbors, friends, relatives and even to the town visitors, so that may also partake of the local cuisine. Under Spanish rule for a long time, the end result are dishes that offer a delicious mix of both Spanish and Filipino delicacies.

Cebu is the Queen City of the South

Cebu City is situated off the eastern coast of the main island of Cebu Province in the southern Philippines. Looking into the Philippine history, Cebu is the site of the very first Spanish settlement in the country, thus ushering in the Spanish colonial era of the Philippines. The city is dubbed as the Southern Philippines' Queen City and is one of the country's strongest economies.

Tommy asks people fight landgrabber real estates

2008-11-14T06:02:00.001-08:00

THREATS of a lawsuit by Talisay City officials and their claim over a 50-hectare portion of the South Road Properties (SRP) will not affect Cebu City Hall’s ongoing negotiations with Filinvest Land Inc. (FLI), city officials said yesterday.

While Acting City Mayor Hilario Davide III and City Hall’s Joint Venture Selection Committee (JVSC) are confident of the City’s ownership of the SRP, Mayor-on-leave Tomas Osmeña sought his constituents’ help in protecting SRP from a “landgrabber,” apparently referring to Rep. Eduardo Gullas (Cebu, 1st district).

Gullas said last Wednesday that the Talisay City Government is expected to take legal action if Cebu City tries to sell the 53.44 hectares it is claiming.

In a text message sent from Houston, Texas where he is undergoing treatment for his bladder cancer, Osmeña asked Cebu City’s constituents to stand up for the 302-hectare facility.

“Please tell the people of Cebu City that I am sick and cannot defend the SRP as much as I would like to. I need the help of my constituents against this landgrabber. I
did this project for you and not for myself. Please stand up and help me defend what is rightfully yours,” his text message read.

Davide said yesterday that he was surprised why Talisay’s officials are saying they did not know about the titling of the SRP lots that Talisay claimed.

City Administrator Francisco Fernandez, also chairman of the JVSC, said if Talisay will question the titles issued to Cebu City, it should sue the President for signing the presidential proclamation on the SRP’s ownership.

“As far as the ownership issue is concerned, Filinvest Land has no doubt that Cebu City owns the SRP. It took us three years to get those titles, even DENR denied their claim... I’m surprised that they were surprised that the lots were titled under the City’s name, because they knew all along,” Davide told reporters.

Davide further said that if Talisay City officials are questioning the titles of the SRP, they will also have to question the presidential proclamation stating that the SRP is within and is owned by Cebu City.

Talisay will also have to question the opinion of the Department of Justice (DOJ), which decided in favor of the Cebu City Government, he said.

“The title is no longer an issue. I don’t think it will affect our negotiations,” he continued.

Except for the unfilled 60-hectare Pond A and a two-hectare lot claimed by the Ting family, all other lots at the SRP, spanning some 210.074 hectares, were titled in the Cebu City Government’s name in September 2005.

For his part, Fernandez said yesterday that ownership of the SRP was not discussed in any of their meetings on the ongoing negotiations with FLI “because the titling is a non-issue.”

“That is no longer an issue. Ang among contention ana is that they know the titles have already been issued, they know that there is a Presidential Proclamation on that.

They should sue the President for issuing that document,” he added. (LCR)

Story from Sunstar Cebu

LBC in Banilad was robbed 80 Thousand

2008-11-14T06:01:00.001-08:00

FOUR men robbed a courier service company in Barangay Banilad, Cebu City past noon yesterday.

They pulled off the heist in less than five minutes, and ran away with about P80,000 in cash and three cellular phones from the two female employees and a lone female client of LBC-Banilad branch at the Gaisano Country Mall.

Employees Giecin Mae Obsioma and Mary Caryn Nasataya, both customer associates, and client Candida Mondoñedo told the police that the robbers kept on
threatening to shoot them, though they did not see any of the four robbers holding a gun.

The robbery broke a lull of more than five months, in which no major heists were reported in the city. The last major robbery in the city before yesterday’s occurred last May, when eight armed men robbed two adjacent jewelry stores on Magallanes St.

1st time

Theft and Robbery Section Chief Michael Anthony Bastes said it was the first time they heard of robbers who displayed no guns.

The robbery occurred at 12:30 p.m.

Nasataya told reporters that prior to the robbery, the three men went inside the LBC and sat on the chairs provided for clients. One of the robbers was heard saying, “Init kaayo, bay! Manglingkod sa ta (It’s so hot outside. Let’s sit here).”

After the arrival of the fourth suspect, who later drove the getaway motorcycle, the three then headed to the counter and declared a holdup.

Two went inside the cashier’s cubicle, while one approached client Mondoñero. Another suspect stayed on a chair near the glass door and served as the lookout.

Mondoñero, who was still trembling during the interview, said one of the men told her not to look up.

“Sige siya’g ingun ayaw’g tan-aw. Ayaw’g lingi. Duko lang diha. Ayaw mo og palag, pamusilon ta mo (Don’t look. Don’t resist or I’ll shoot you),” Mondoñero said.

The robbers did not wear masks.

Nasataya said that after taking the cash from the drawers amounting to more than P50,000, the two robbers proceeded to the cash vault inside a room with Obsioma in tow.

They told Nasataya to stay at the cashier’s counter.

The robbers left LBC immediately after taking the P20,000 cash inside the cash vault.

Three boarded the getaway motorcycle while the other suspect walked toward Mahiga Bridge.

Bastes said that the police received the call for help about 10 minutes after the attack.

Blockade

Police failed to arrest any of the suspects despite the blockade they set up after receiving the alarm. Bastes and Councilor Sylvan Jakosalem, who went to the area, learned that the establishment does not have security guards or a surveillance camera.

“I was very surprised to find out that they had no guards and even a remote door lock considering they receive cash payments, important documents and valuable things to ship,” Jakosalem told Sun.Star Cebu.

Jakosalem said the City Council will have its final deliberation on an ordinance making it mandatory for all banking institutions and other establishments extending similar and related services to the public to install security cameras.

Bastes said the police have been reminding establishments to hire security guards and install surveillance cameras as part of “target-hardening measures” against robbers.

No guns

Bastes also lamented the failure of the security guards in the nearby establishments to notice the robbery. He found out that some of the detailed guards do not have firearms.

Julius Buhia, LBC’s legal staff associate, in a separate interview with reporters said yesterday’s incident was the first time that their LBC branch in Cebu City was victimized by robbers this year.

Although they do not have security guards or security cameras, he said they have reminded their employees to be extra careful, especially that robberies are prevalent and the holidays—with its corresponding rise in crimes against property—are approaching.

Because of the incident, Buhia said he may suggest to the management to hire security guards and put up security cameras. (JTG)
