President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo went over to Cebu this week to inaugurate Plaza Sugbo, a newly rehabilitated square that encompasses Cebu City Hall and the Magellan’s Cross park.

The square boasts of new landscaping, brick pavements, and a much more sprawling space that are devoid of vendors and other illegal structures. Statues of historical figures such as Vicente Rama will also be erected in strategic points areas.

Below are some photos that I shot just a while ago:
