MUSEO DE SUGBO

.

Located a few blocks from the Yap-Sandiego Ancestral House is the Museo de Sugbo. Museo de Sugbo, or the Cebu Provincial Museum, holds a unique history of its own. Designed by Domingo de Escondrillas (Cebu’s only architect at that time), the structure was built in 1871 as the Carcel de Cebu, or the provincial jail. The carcel was originally intended to be the main prison of the Visayas Island, which would account for the establishment’s large size.

During its 135-year run, the carcel served as prison not only to convicted criminals but also to Katipunero captives. It became a horse stable during the American era. During the Japanese occupation, it once again became prison, until it was formally named as the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center (CPDRC). The CPDRC has been relocated and in August 2008, the former prison camp was formally inaugurated as a provincial museum.

Basilica Minore Del Sto. Nino

.

Basilica Minore Del Sto. Nino is Cebu's oldest church. My family used it to attend the main cathedral when I was little. A historical church, it is still one of the city's best-looking churches, and its guardians do a great job of maintaining it. Tens of thousands of devotees congregate in the ancient church to celebrate the Annual Sto.  Nino Festival. And I was one of them, celebrating the festival in this church makes me feel as if I'm one of the reason why this church is history.

It was claimed that for than 40 years after their christening, Ferdinand Magellan handed it to Queen Juana, the wife of Rajah Humabon, as a symbol of their loyalty. A burned-out wooden box that Magellan had left behind was where the statue was found. It is regarded as the country's earliest church, having been constructed in 1525.
