Chronicling the Queen City of the South only means one thing - royalty. Not literally do I mean rich but this stunning place is wealthy of landmarks and a history's comfort zone.
After the coveted national press tilt in Ormoc City, we were given a chance to drop by in Cebu and stroll for at least three hours before taking our flight to Davao. Although we only get to see its beauty in a short span of time, I was already astonished with the vibrant atmosphere the Cebuanos were showcasing, and the influence the Spaniards left was truly worth our sightseeings.
It was Saturday morning, April 13th, when the three-hour wander finally began. It was a scorching hot day for a visit at Sto. Niño Church. The Spanish heritage site was spectacular inside, and out and I would like to commend how exquisite the enormous altar is. But it isn't just it. What's really up for the tour was the gorgeous grotto of Sto. Niño just resting inside. Get up close and personal, and pray.
The Spanish heritage doesn't stop there, just outside the church waiting for you to feel its ambiance is the spledid Magellan's Cross - with Koreans, literally! Aside from the huge cross placed at the center, what's really seeking my attention were these neighboring Asian tourists. Though I'd rather get some picture with the city hall right in front, where the whole controversial suspension story of Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia took place.
Before we arrived at the very end of our tour, some mall relaxation embraced ourselves. Hello, SM City Cebu! Well, off course, it was the bookstore I went right after I was inside. It was satisfying, the whole city extravaganza, the entire Cebu escapade. It was royalty.
