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.

I dedicate this photo to my Cebu flickr contacts: Farl, Wantet, Marvin, Jenny, Adlaw, Acemarc.
This is the first photo I uploaded from my trip which I think summarizes the events that transpired during my stay in Cebu. I wanted to meet my flickr contacts in Cebu and maybe have a drink with them and enjoy the beautiful sites the city has to offer... but a change in my schedule just didn't allow me to meet my favorite Cebu flickr contacts.

Cebu City
Built in 1972, the Cebu Taoist Temple is located in Beverly Hills Subdivision in Cebu City, Philippines. The temple was built by Cebu's substantial Chinese community. With an elevation of 300 metres (980 ft) 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, 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 Zi. Another ritual among Taoist devotees, which is done during Wednesdays and Sundays, 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.
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.

This is merely a slice of Cebu's rapid transformation. Businesses are booming, hotels & condotels are sprouting, and nightlife has never been so alive not to mention the beaches. This is probably the best place to invest & spend leisure time nowadays.
This was breathtaking in every sense of the word because besides the view I literally had to hold my breath while waiting for the 15 sec shutter time. Whew!!!

EL MONO Y EL GATO
En la casa de un buen señor, vivían dos animales malos, traviesos y desagradecidos. Un mono llamado Roko, que le gustaba romper todo lo que estaba a su alcance solo por diversión y un gato apodado Ratón, que no le gustaba cazar pero si comer en exceso.
Un día en que ambos pasaban por la puerta de la cocina, vieron sobre el fuego unas castañas que el dueño de casa, había dejado asando. El mono dijo:
-¡Amigo, es hora de dar el gran golpe! ¡Si yo tuviera las garras que tu tienes, esas castañas ya estarían en mi estomago!.
El gato que era muy veloz, sin mediar mas palabras, comenzó a retirar una a una las castañas del fuego, mientras tanto el mono se las iba comiendo sin que el gato lo advirtiera. Cuando el felino aún no había llegado a comer ninguna, entró en la cocina el dueño de casa y los ladronzuelos salieron corriendo del lugar, con gran descontento por parte del gato.
