This was taken in a restaurant near the port area in Cebu. At 6am we are already here at the port because we are thinking there’s will be a lot of passengers traveling to Tagbilaran, Bohol so to speak>the early the better! We don’t have our coffee yet and we landed in this restaurant owned by a lady who always complained of this and that. The restaurant was sort of an antique shop and while waiting for our coffee we busied ourselves taking pictures here and there and then of all of a sudden, the lady-owner said, “ask a permission first to take pictures of the antiques” hahaha.
Built in 1972, the Cebu Taoist Temple is located in Beverly Hills Subdivision in Cebu City. The temple was built by Cebu's substantial Chinese community. With an elevation of 300 meters above sea level,the temple is a towering, multi-tiered, multi-hued attraction accessible by three separate winding routes.
Unlike the neighboring Phu Sian Temple[2], the Taoist temple is open to the worshipers and non-worshipers alike. A ritual among devotees is where one prays to the gods to grant one's wish. The ritual includes washing of hands, going inside the chapel barefoot and dropping two blocks of wood. If the blocks of wood are both face up then one could make a wish. If not then it is not yet the time for one's wish to be granted and one has to come to the temple some other time.
The temple is the center of worship for Taoism, the religion which follows the teachings of the ancient Chinese philosopher, Lao Tze. Another ritual among Taoist devotees, which is done during Wednesdays and Sundays,[3] is the climbing of its 81 steps (representing the 81 chapters of Taoism scriptures) to light joss sticks and have their fortune read by the monks.
Some guide books and travel agencies offer trips to the temple or as a side-trip in a tour around Cebu City. But it is more popular with grade school students. No student who grew up in Cebu City or the neighboring Mandaue City has not gone to the temple in any one of their field trips.
The entrance to the temple is a replica of the Great Wall of China. The temple includes a chapel, a library, a souvenir shop and a wishing well. The spacious balconies offer a scenic view of the downtown Cebu.
Cebu City (vroeger ook wel Sugbu genoemd) was al een welvarende nederzetting voordat de Spanjaarden er arriveerden in 1521. De inwoners handelden met de volkeren uit de regio. De eerste Europeanen die hier aankwamen waren de opvarenden van de Spaanse vloot onder leiding van de Portugees Fernão de Magalhães. Op zondag 7 april 1521 voeren ze de haven van Cebu City binnen met de overgebleven drie schepen (de Trinidad, de Victoria en de Concepcíon), waar ze een ontwikkelde beschaving aantroffen. Op 14 april 1521 werd de koning (Rajah) Hamabon van Cebu samen met zijn vrouw en 800 van zijn onderdanen gedoopt en bekeerd tot het christendom. Met Magalhães liep het slecht af, toen hij een paar weken later in een gevecht met een koning van het naburige Mactan, genaamd Lapu-Lapu, stierf aan zijn opgelopen verwondingen.
Tientallen jaren na Fernão de Magalhães kwam op 27 april 1565 Miguel López de Legazpi met een 400 man grote expeditie in Cebu aan. De stad werd met de grond gelijk gemaakt en later weer opnieuw opgebouwd door de Spanjaarden. Ze noemden deze eerste Spaanse nederzetting in de Filipijnen: Villa del Santisimo Nombre de Jesús.
Zes jaar lang, terwijl de Spanjaarden bezig waren om de controle over de hele archipel te krijgen, was Cebu de hoofdstad van de nieuwe Spaanse kolonie. Toen Legazpi in 1571 Cebu verliet en vertrok naar de nieuwe hoofdstad Manilla, bleven ongeveer de helft van zijn soldaten in Cebu achter onder leiding van een provinciale gouverneur.
Pas drie eeuwen later kwam er, net als in de rest van de Filipijnen, een einde aan de Spaanse overheersing middels het uitroepen van de onafhankelijkheid op 12 juni 1898 door Emilio Aguinaldo. Kort daarna in 1901 werd Cebu een gemeente. Op 24 februari 1937 werd Cebu een stad.
In Cebu, quality of education is of high standard. The educational costs are also comparatively cheaper. Due to this reason, many students from outside, arrive at Cebu to study. Cebu education is especially well-known for the study of Medicine.
"I firmly believe that we can create a poverty free world if we collectively believe in it. In a poverty free world, the only place you would be able to see poverty is in a poverty museum. When school children take a tour of poverty museums they would be horrified to see the misery and indignity that some human beings had to go through."-Muhammad Yunus, Grammen Bank, 2006 Nobel Prize Winner
