Hi my beloved Cebuanos & Cebu City !
Its true that Cebu & Cebu City has changed a lot. I have been going home every year in this last few years & it seems that I will be heading back for home in few years time .
Inspita of all this ” apan ” or negative aspects , i would still prefer to be here again . I could not ask for more but to have more security & cleanliness in our vicinity .
I `m proud to be a Cebuana !

24 ra gyud kay daghan na kaayong nausab. Pero aking mga tubag ang karaan nga mga pangalan. Like Juan Luna St which is now Osmena Blvd. Also had me Rahja Hotel — which is Garwood na man diay.

Leyland,
I put this test to a group of Bisdaks. Those with scores less than five are already planning to visit; and there are ten
of them plus their families. Predictably, these are the earlier professionals who left the country and are at the tail end end of their careers and ready to retire. What a clever way to flush out Sugbuanons who are lossing their Bisdakness.
By the way, Fort San Pedro was as give away to them and
everyone thought the Danao Church was the Sto. Nino Basilica.
