Toledo: Cebu’s Western Supah-Powah!

14 03 2007

 

This weekend, Le Familia, together with Satchmo, decided to head West to the mystic City of TOLEDO. Toledo City is one of the ‘founding cities’ of Cebu. It is also an integral part of Cebu’s early boom a few decades ago due to the operation of industry giant Atlas Consolidated Mining and Development Corporation. Enjoying it’s 2nd class status, Toledo benefited much from Atlas’ success. For a time, citizens of Toledo enjoyed the vast income generated by the company. At that time, basically EVERYONE in Toledo worked for Atlas. Even residents from nearby municipalities – Balamban, Lutupan and Asturias, were on Atlas‘ payroll. A friend, Ams, recounted how her family lived during the time when Atlas was at its peak.

We had a three-storey house, which was extremely expensive during that time. My ate, kuya and I had two yayas each. Everything was great!”

Then, in 1994, Atlas announced that it would go on a “care and maintenance scheme” and operation would have to be suspended (although key managerial positions were retained). They said that it was due to an unusually huge typhoon which flooded the copper mines resulting in delays. With Atlas’ closure, huge numbers of families were displaced and a state of ‘panic’ struck Toledo. Most families moved to Cebu City. Among them was my friend’s family. A lot of the displaced families who had nowhere to go, ended up in what Cebuanos usually call the ‘squatter’s area‘. 

 Today, no more (or very little) trace of Atlas’ shutting down can be observed in Toledo. Business is back (as well as its residents) and the city is booming once more. According to analysts, no sudden economic crisis could bring Toledo City down (even Atlas’ closure). They say that the ‘drought’ that ensued after Atlas’ move was due to panic and not the city’s capability per se. Another reason they pointed out is that Toledo is the only Westbound City in Cebu. The rest – Danao, Mandaue, Lapu Lapu are facing Bohol. With its port situated right across San Carlos City in Negros, and in between all western Cebuano towns, there was no way that Toledo would drop to its knees.

 

On the way to Toledo. The roads are awesome. I didn’t find a single hole. hehe.

The Coast of Toledo City. (with part of Atlas’ remaining ‘operational structures)

Port to San Carlos City, Negros Occidental

Clean market. I have to commend Toledo City for keeping their market clean and orderly. Well done! =)

Just the type of life that we all want. No traffic. No hassle. hehehe.

These bikers from Cebu City grabbed a quickbite before hitting Balamban and the Transcentral.

Interior of market. I told you it’s clean.

Busy day at the market.

Closer look at Atlas

Lighthouse with very small head. hehehe

nindot na diay ang dalan padulong sa Toledo, gone where those days nga grabe ka labaong intawn…but it’s nice, Toledo bounces back after years of lagging behind from other cities…unsa may kalihukan (economically) sa Toledo karon? murag naa naman daw company mo operate sa atlas? i might be wrong . . . and also ang Toledo is the gateway for those who wanted to go to Negros, specifically San Carlos City which is atbang ra sa syudad sa Toledo……

Hi guys! Its nice to see Toledo City. Some interesting photos, I miss the place already. My husband and I go home every year, we have a house built in Tajao.
The road from Cebu to Toledo is fantastic now, we can hire a taxi home no problem.

I am a former Atlas Mining employee., the first Company I was employed after my Engineering Graduation from (CIT). I am a native of Matab-ang, Toledo city now permanently residing in Muntinlupa after a long streched of work From Atlas to Manila to Jeddah S.A., the Emirates, back to work in Managerial work in Manila. Now I am a retired Electrical Engineer. I wish to know the progress of Atlas Mining as I considered it as the first Company that molds me to what I was now. While in K.S.A. I was able to help few former Atlas employees to work with Marine Transport International in Jeddah. and when I came back working as a Manager in Batangas Power Corporation I also have few former displaced Atlas Mining employee in key engineering positions in BPC. BPC was also closed after the BOT contract and the last company where I retired. I wish to know and say hello to these people and hope to see them one day.

i have seen toledo during the glory days of atlas, i’ve also seen toledo during the gloomy days following the atlas shutdown and i’ve seen toledo rise again from from that gloomy era. it may be a long shot from that glorious atlas days but things are starting to brighten up, not only in toledo and balamban but the whole western seaboard that comprises the 3rd district of cebu.
as a proud toledano, toledo city does not easily go down on it’s knees.

It is nice to read this article and the written comments after it. I visited Lutopan when I was in high school in CIC (1976-77). I had friends there who went to school in Andres Soriano— and their parents worked at ATLAS mining. They were the friends I met during my girls scouts/boy scouts jamboree. I remember spending time with them in the clubhouse. When I left for the USA in 1977, I lost contact with them. If anyone out there knows where the Francisco Family are now and how I can get in touch with them, please let me know. The 2 kids that were my friends were Malyn and Ramon Francisco. I know it has been a long…long time but it would be nice to hear from them again. I always wondered what happened to them since I left for the US. Thanks

Hi Suzanne. I am a product of ASMS. I used to be a PI girl scout too and I was in 6th grade during 76-77 and still could recall joining a jamboree in the Capitol Hills.
The ASMS alumni association has a website wherein one could be updated with all the circas(70 down to the present) survivors, reunions and all goings-on. The mestizo Franciscos (the most famous of siblings I bet and still very visible in ASMS and ATLAS gatherings) are mostly in the PI. As I’ve read from the blogs, Malyn is in Cebu, Ramon is in Mindanao (or was it another brother?)

Hello Celine! Thanks for the information that you have provided. I will try to locate my friends with the data you gave.
I went home to Cebu last year for the 1st time after over 20 years of being here in the states for my CIC reunion. Being reconnected with my classmates, I realized how much I miss my high school friends. We have formed a completely tight group once again and this is why I have decided to search for my “old friends.” Thank you, Celine!!!!

just a few updates about toledo/lutopan.^^

ASMS is located in Lutopan. From a La Salle Affiliate, it has now finally become a district school, De La Salle Andres Soriano Memorial College, otherwise known as DLSASMC.

And Atlas Mining Corporation is now almost back up on it’s feet again, but running in another name, the Carmen Copper Corporation.

long live toledo!:D

Kumusta sa maga Electrical Engineers and Electricians sa IIEE Toledo Chapter.

Maayo unta mobalik ang Atlas Mining sa Lutopan.

I was responsible for establishing the barge route from San Carlos to Toledo by LCT Charliehorse when I proposed the use of Shell Cebu’s LPG lorry truck to be used in Bacolod, in 1982 on a weekly bases. Today, there is still the barge route and no more LCT Charliehorse.

Let me invite all Electrical Engineers to my website of free continuing education.

Kudos to leylander for this blog.
Can’t help to feel nostalgic as i browsed the pics and the comments.
I’ve also was once connected with Atlas Mining where my office and administrative acumen was honed in its Personnel Dept. and later after graduating from USJ-R, joined ATLAS again in its Staff Clubhouse operations. Those were the heydays of Atlas and those will forever be a contributing factor to what I have become today as I sit in my office here in Doha, Qatar.
Childhood memories, high skul life, social orgs – been there and done that in Lutopan.
Keep spreading the blog – Mr. Moderator, and cheers to all Toledanons!!
