The Heritage of Cebu

The Blog

This blog was conceived on January 01, 2007 to help create an awareness about the many heritage sites in Cebu.  I use a lot of references, including stock knowledge, with regard to a particular site’s history and form. My favorite books include “Simbahan” by Regalado Trota Jose, “Angels in Stone” by Fr. Pedro Galende OSA, and “Great Churches of the Philippines” by Fr. Rene Javellana SJ and Fr. Pedro Galende OSA. I still struggle with my grammar and I’m not an acclaimed writer or editor so I ask for your indulgence on any blunder committed.

I welcome feedback and corrections. Just as entries in Wikipedia are edited by various personalities until everybody agrees to it and accepts it as the general truth then so have my entries developed as the months pass by through the generous comments, insights and clarifications of the readers and those who have just stumbled on this blog.

The Blogger

I am a registered nurse based in Cebu City and currently taking up masters in psychiatric nursing. Ever since I was a child I have always been fascinated about heritage and architecture. There’s something unique about it that enables me to appreciate the legacies left behind by those who came before us. Some of the earlier photos here were shot with a 3.2 MP point-and-shoot camera, which I bought as a Christmas gift to myself last Christmas of 2005, hehe :p.
