Time Travel to Museo Sugbo

-

In  my 25 years of existence and for many years that I've traveled some parts of Cebu this is one tourist spot that I haven't been too yet I've always passed this place.

Museo Sugbo was once called Cárcel de Cebú, the provincial jail of Cebu. It was the main prison for the Visayas district. Designed by the lone architect in Cebu at the time, Domingo de Escondrillas on 1869.






















There are eight galleries you can see inside Museo Sugbo. All exhibition galleries are fully air-conditioned. It provides visitors a treasure trove of important objects and artifacts that make Cebu truly the premier province of the country. It also showcase the lives of Sen. Vicente Rama, father of the Cebu city charter, as well as, Gregorio Abellana, a Katipunero and playwright of patriotic zarzuelas and Jovito Abellana, historical essayist and writer.

There is a media gallery in honor of Cebu's pioneer media practitioners, a gallery for political history, a gallery with collections of rare Spanish-era architectural blueprints, maps and charts, on loan from the National Archives.

Out of eight galleries the vintage bicycles caught my attention.













Admission rates:
Local Tourist : PhP 30
Students : Php 10
Foreign Tourist: PhP 75

Visit Museo Sugbo and revives the Filipino history in you!

LAPYAHAN FESTIVAL QUEEN 2016

San Remigio is known to have the longest shoreline in Cebu province, which is highlighted in their annual festival, the "Lapyahan festival". Lapyahan is a cebuano word for shoreline. The festival is celebrated every 16th of May and in honor of their patron saint San Juan Nepumoceno. The dance steps in the festival show things related to the sea: balud which means waves, kinhas which means gleaning for seashells during low tide, langoy which is swimming, hoyohoy which refers to sea breeze, and pasalamat which is to give thanksgiving to heavens for the bounty of the sea. And in every festival one of the most awaited and exciting moment is the crowning of the next festival queen.  I am proud to present to you my dear friend and the newly crowned  LAPYAHAN FESTIVAL QUEEN 2016!

Day | 01 I was so bored at home and I feel stuck because I haven’t done anything productive in the past few days then suddenly when I was about to go to sleep this idea popped out and I decided to search about it. I wanted to write but I can’t get any inspiration and I can't think of anything but I guess the biggest reason why I couldn’t get anything done it’s because I’m LAZY or in Tagalog TAMAD!

If you are like me, a person who likes to try different adventures but is also afraid of heights then I can say, canyoneering is a very fulfilling, satisfying adventure for you! There are many adventures that Cebu can offer to tourists and even to the locals, recently, we just tried the popular Canyoneering at Badian. Actually, the adventure starts at Alegria and ends at Kawasan, Badian. There are two types of canyoneering, the upstream and the downstream. For beginners, downstream is recommended. The adventure takes about 3 - 4 hours. We met our tour guide at Matutinao church or the entrance of Kawasan falls. After, we prepared our things and ourselves, we are now ready for action. Off to Kuya Albert's House Safety Gears Ready for action!
