Cathedral Museum of Cebu
The Cathedral Museum of Cebu was formerly the rectory or parish house of the Cebu Cathedral. It was built around 1840 during the time of Bishop Santos Gomes Marañon, a known church-builder. Made of cut-coral stones, the building is one of the few extant structures that survived the ravages of World War II. Throughout the years it underwent various transformations as a school, an office and now as an ecclesiastical museum.

Hi, the latest buzz that I heard was that the activity was moved to January. I’m not sure too if the commissioning of the monument/statue pushed through. I’ll try to ask around tomorrow and I’ll post you an update on this one.
