Holy week in Cebu

Cebu is but one of the many provinces in the Philippines which boasts of its rich cultural heritage.  One should not forget that it is in this province that Magellan, who discovered the  Philippines,  was slain to death by one of its native, Lapu-lapu, in Mactan Island.

It is stretegically located at the center of the Philippine archipelago, and considered the gateway to about 2/3 of the rest of the country.

I am so blessed and privileged to work and live in this beautiful province where the old and modern living co-exist. When in Cebu, one should not forget to explore its countryside.  Up north, Bantayan Island is a must see during the Holy Week.
