THE QUEEN CITY OF THE SOUTH

WELCOME TO CEBU!!!

THE QUEEN CITY OF THE SOUTH

Cebu City is the oldest and one of the largest City in the Philippines, located on Cebu Island’s eastern coast. It is protected by offshore Mactan Island and by the inland Cordillera Central. it is also one of its most historic and retains much of the flavor of its long Spanish heritage. A thriving port occupied the site when Ferdinand Magellan, the Portuguese navigator and explorer, landed there on April 7, 1521. Cebu is also known as “The Queen City of the South”.

Cebu Island and more than 150 smaller surrounding islands and islets. Its prosperous port capital, Cebu City, retains landmarks from its 16th-century Spanish colonial past. Cebu have plenty of famous tourist destination that is the reason why the tourist keeps’ coming back. This is one of the highlights of Cebu, the treasure that represents the uniqueness of Cebu City.

What are the Famous Tourist Destinations in the Queen City of South?

Simala Shrine

Let’s start to the Simala Parish Church as a Roman Catholic church dedicated to the Virgin Mary in Sibonga, Cebu, Philippines. According to Frenchy (2022),

"This place is so beautiful and sacred and breathtaking! It is like a castle and I love it!!!”. Simala is like the hotspot for miracle, and the Virgin Mary is the main lady there. It is a perfect spot Catholic devotees who want to ask for divine intervention. These miraculous testimonies prove that Simala can work wonders for those who believe (sunstar).

2. Oslob Whale Shark

  The other side of the island is where you can experience swimming with the Oslob Whale Sharks, locally known as the “Tuki” (TravelCebu).

Moreover, Oslob Municipality is known for old churches and beautiful beaches but became more popular because of the gentle giants- the Whale Sharks. Furthermore, this destination is one of the tops in the bucket lists of tourists who visit Cebu because of the rare experience. However, if you encounter with the whale shark, it is not allowed to touch them.

3. Casa Gorordo Museum

   This house-turned-museum is where the first Cebuano bishop, Juan Gorordo resided. Originally built during the 1800s, a Spanish businessman Juan Isidro de Gorordo purchased the house.

Due to Ramon Aboitiz Foundation’s Cultural Heritage Program, Casa Gorordo became a museum in 1980. The museum depicts Philippine culture between 1800s to 1900s.

4.Sirao Flower Garde

Heading to the more elevated spot is in the Busay area which is the Sirao Flower Garden. Going there is like experiencing the Netherlands, thus this tourist attraction is commonly called, “The Little Amsterdam”.

The array of celosia (or ‘Burlas’ by locals) flowers in flaring red, purple, yellow, orange makes it Amsterdam-ish. The put-up windmill and the cool wind complement the scenic view. Hence, this gives the guests the unique, touristy feel.

5.Magellan’s Cross

King of Spain Charles 1 chose navigator Ferdinand Magellan to look for the “Spice Islands”. In doing so, Magellan was able to cross the globe and eventually landed in the Philippines in 1521. Specifically, he made his step in Cebu on March 15, 1521.

Magellan presented Christianity to Cebuanos, and most of them embraced the religion. In this site is where Magellan planted the Cross (which symbolizes Christianity) on April 21, 1521. An encasement protects the original Magellan’s cross.

"Isang-daang Libong Rosas"

Sa gabi ay mayroon paring liwanag. May kapayapaan sa kadiliman at katahimikan. May kagandahan sa liwanag ng dilim.

Cordova, Cebu

Ito ang unang beses kong makakita ng mga nagmimistulang mga bituin na abot-kamay lamang. Nandito lang sa aking lungsod at ilang oras lang byahe upang makarating, ang 10,000 Roses sa Cebu. Kinuha ko ang litratong ito sa buwan ng Nobyembre sa taon 2019. Malamig ang simoy ng hangin at payapa ang buong lugar. May ilang mga turista ngunit hindi ganoon ka dami. Napakaganda ng ‘café’ at ‘souvenir shop’ nito. Pwedeng-pwede mong dalhin ang iyong kasintahan dahil isa ito sa pinaka-romantikong lugar sa lungsod ng Cebu. Perpektong-perpekto para isang ‘dating-spot’. Ngunit kung ika’y gustong manood lamang sa tanawin at namnamin ang lugar ay napakapwede rin. Tulad ko na nalilibang lang sa pagkuha ng  mga litrato sa mga bulaklak. Sa oras na ito ay marami akong kailangang gawin sa eskwela kaya pagod ang aking isip at katawan, napakasaya ko at nagpapasalamat ako sa aking tita at tito sa pagdala sa akin sa lugar. Mistulang nawala saglit ang aking mga problema sa paglalakbay na ito.

 Kung interesado ka sa lugar, tingnan ito https://sugbo.ph/2017/10000-roses-cafe-cebu/

"Kalangitan at Kapayapaan"

Cebu City, Philippines

Isa sa aking mga gustong panoorin ay ang kalangitan sa iba’t-iba nitong mga kulay. Nagdadala ito sa akin ng kapayapaan sa bawat oras. Pinakapaborito ko ang paglubog ng araw kung saan sumisilip ang araw at mistulang nagpapaalam sa akin. Dito sa syudad ay mahirap makita ang paglubog ng araw dahil sa mga malalaking mga gusali kaya masaya ako kahit na ang pag-iba ng kulay ng langit lamang ang kaing makikita. Isa k aba sa mga taong katulad na kinukuha ang litrato ng kalangitan? Marami akong kilala na ganito rin at masaya ako na nasasayahan rin sila sa simpleng bagay gaya ng pag-iba ng kulay ng kalangitan. Tunay na malikhain at maganda ang loob ng Diyos sa pagbigay sa atin ng mga tanawin na gaya nito.
