This famous church dates back to the early Spanish colonial era. The Church was founded by the Augustinian friars since their arrival in 1565. You could also find in the church the miraculous image of Sto. Nino (Child-Jesus).
my ritual in visiting this holy place is to light some candles outside and spend time inside the church for my prayers. i love the feeling everytime i’m here.

The second largest beach on Boracay, this popular destination is also called Puka Shell Beach after the prevalent white seashells.
This is a nearby beach in Boracay. There are two ways to go here: first, you can join the island hopping tour and this is the first stop; second, you can hire a tricycle from white beach to this place. The water is green and the sand is fine. You can survey the place for 10 minutes. This is nice for swimming because it’s not too crowded, plus the green view is amazing! Just paradise!

Must visit while in Cebu - even better than Ayala centre in Manila!! Ayala's point of difference is high quality without jamming as much commercial shops into the property as possible. Instead, they leave space and existing trees and landscape it so there is a large tranquil space, the Terraces, to relax and get away from all the hustle of a big city Great mall shopping and the highlight is the Terraces with space in the shade to relax and enjoy looking at the big trees, shrubs and waterfalls. It has the usual variety of food outlets, national & local.

We spent a fun couple of hours at the waterfalls. Beautiful blue water. We arrived with our scooter, there is parking for them just at the entrance to the falls, parking fee is going by donations, so you pick how much you want to pay, and those guys really watch over the scooters. The entrance fee is normally 10 php, but we got there early so no one was there, we got in for free. There are 3 Tarzan swings, different heights, 50 php for unlimited swings. They are really fun, I was scared before the first swing but you just have to go and after that it was just all fun. Then you can stand under the smaller falls to get a nice shoulder / back massage and just lounge in the water. There are some vendors there, I think they open around 9 to buy some food. We got there around 7:30/8:00 and it wasn't crowded at all, so I would suggest to go early. It's definitely worth a visit!

The San Juanico Bridge, is an arch-shaped truss bridge in the Philippines stretching from Samar to Leyte crossing the San Juanico Strait. It is part of the Pan-Philippine Highway. It is the longest bridge in the Philippines spanning a body of water with a length of 2.16 kilometers.
Great long drive travel experienced with an amazing view of the sea and the green scenery of nature that surrounds the bridge.

Simala Shrine tour was really not part of our itinerary, but since my mother can't make a 30min walk to Kawasan falls, we went here instead. As we approach the gate, we were amazed as we see its castle-like facade, with arcaded corridors, aqueduct-like bridge connecting the garden to the shrine. The structure is also PWD-friendly, with ramps placed everywhere. Inside the shrine was a chapel, a praying area where colored candles lit, and a museum where testimonies of healed and answered prayers are kept and displayed. By the way, before going inside, bear in mind that proper attire is strictly implemented. Men wearing sando or tank top with shorts and slippers, and women wearing spaghetti straps, with very short shorts and slippers are not allowed. But if you're already worn shorts, don't worry! There are vendors outside the gate that will let you rent their shawls for Php20! If you're a Marian devotee and for Catholics who are "sagrado katoliko" I really recommend visiting the place. It will make your faith stronger as you see the evidences of the healed and answered prayers, and the people offering candles, roses and prayers to the pictures, portraits and sculptures of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

The 100+ year history of this highly ranked, American-founded university is too complex and deep to cover here. The campus is a beautiful, green respite from he surrounding city and contains fine examples of Eastlake architecture, Art Deco, and Classic architecture - set in a mature, verdant Beaux-Arts style arrangement. Also, unlike many universities, its easy to access at the gates and visitors are not turned away. Worth reading a Wiki article on it that captures the founding in depth, WWII history, and even interesting events from he Marcos era. In the meantime, just enjoy the walk.

“The Biggest Weekend Food Market In Cebu” Sugbo Mercado opened on September 25, 2015, with the goal of being the first and biggest year-round weekly food market in Cebu and as a venue for the best of the best of Cebu as well as budding new players in the local food industry to showcase their products in a tour de force of local pride.
Sugbo Mercado is filled with 10s of food stalls, selling all different kinds of meals, drinks, and desserts. Plates are around 100–150 pesos so it’s a great way of trying a number of different dishes in one go. It’s kind of like a Philippino Borough Market (if you’re from London and know what that is). The atmosphere is great too and the area feels totally safe. Furthermore there are lots of locals here so it must be good! That also means that you may have to wait a bit for a seat in peak times but no longer than 5-10 minutes. You can enjoy the live singing in the meantime. My sister is vegan and was able to find a mushroom pasta that she could eat, though there wasn’t much else. Vegetarians would be fine though. I believe the Mercado is only open on Thurs-Sundays so check before going. You might want to bring some tissues with you as we struggles to find napkins - though they do give you plastic gloves/utensils to eat the food with.
