Visayas Bound


(Magellan's Cross)

Cebu City (Central Visayas)


Cebu city is a wonderful place to unwind and relax from stress. It is not called The Queen city of the South for nothing. This city is rich with beautiful places to go. Cebu city is filled with historical sites like the Magellan's Cross;  a Christian cross was planted by Ferdinand Magellan in April 14, 1521 when he baptised the first Christian Filipinos, RajahHumabon and Queen Juana and about 400 followers into the Catholic faith. On the ceiling of the kiosk, there are paintings on what happened when Spaniards baptised Christian Filipinos. You will also enjoy the Taoist temple. It feels like your in China because of the tradition Chinese temple. My favorite part in visiting Cebu city is I am able to saw the largest fish in the sea, the whale shark with my own eyes. You will have close encounter with them and you can even swim with them. Even though they're so huge, you will not feel scared since they are harmless. Cebu city is also known for their tasty Lechon (Roasted pig). You need to taste the crispiness of the skin and the juicy meat of it. In exploring Philippines, Cebu city should be included in your list.
