^^How old is this painting? And where is it located? I think the direct lighting may cause fading or damage to the painting.

^^im not really sure if it is the original one, or just a replica...the light fixtures are a recent addition though...maybe the parish authorities ought to be informed regarding this...

if indeed that one is the original painting, then it dates back to 1735 and was imported from Adalucia, Spain.

Pinamomajan,Pinamungajan: What’s in a name?

I was quite intrigued by a news report the other day in another daily about the stir surrounding Pinamungajan’s choice of “pamuo” (labor) in lieu of “bunga” (fruit) as the theme for its town festival last week. After all, Pinamungajan can be literally translated in Cebuano as “bearing fruits” or “fruit-bearing,” alluding perhaps to a place abundant in fruits. The choice of the festival theme, as the news report rightfully points out, is something that will be probably debated by historians, although Manny Pacquiao – and I’m sure most of the townsfolk of Pinamungajan – saw this as a damper considering the success of the festival.

Let me add nonetheless to the intriguing bits and pieces behind the name of this town from what I have gathered, which I hope will not make it more difficult for this town’s history writer, Maria Victoria “Bambi” Beltran, when she begins to unravel its early Spanish past for the provincial government-funded Cebu City/Town Histories Project.

First, the name “Pinaghumajan.” There is a photocopy of part of a map, most probably done in the 1600s, showing the central and eastern islands of the Visayas, especially Cebu and Bohol, with towns that existed at that time. It is part of Resil Mojares’ papers related to his study of the Linambay tradition, which he conducted in Valladolid, Carcar, sometime in 1980. Among the Cebu towns in that map is Pinaghumajan, a Spanish version of the Cebuano “pinag-umahan” (farmed or tilled land), with the “h” written but not pronounced as is normal in Spanish and other Romanic languages. It is located exactly where Pinamungajan is today. Unfortunately, I am still trying to ascertain the provenance of this map since Resil can no longer remember where this copy was obtained from. But we are in agreement that this may either be from Pedro Murillo Velarde’s rendition of the Philippines as it had been charted in the 1600s or some other contemporaneous chart. What is important is to imagine why a Spanish mapmaker is able to identify a Cebuano place-name like “pinag-umahan” and render it in Spanish as part of the Cebu towns of the time.

Next, “Pinamomajan.” One of the letters addressed to Governor General Pascual Enrile found at the Archivo Naval in Spain and written by the Augustinian priest-builder Fray Julian Bermejo mentions a town called Pinamomajan (“Cared for”). The letter, datelined “Bolhoon, August 20, 1832,” reads in part: “Pinanomajan se aumenta, y está adelantando el baluarte de piedra. Concluido éste, diré a V.E. lo que pienso para seguir poblando y fortaleciendo esta parte tan interesante de la isla de Cebú.” (My crude translation: Pinanomajan is growing, and is enlarging its bulwark of stone. This is my conclusion and I request Your Excellency to continue populating and fortifying this so interesting part of the island of Cebu.). The letter is part of an electronic copy e-mailed to me by my colleague in the heritage movement, Ruel Rigor, of a 2004 article written in Spanish by Fr. Policarpio Hernandez, OSA, in Revista Agustiniana about the great work of Bermejo.

I do not know whether this Pinamomajan is how Bermejo knew of it in his time or if this is an error in reading by Hernandez since I have not seen the original letters, but the same article provides a second mention of the town, again called Pinamomajan, in another letter datelined “Bolhoon, November 24, 1833.”

Finally, however, the National Archives of the Philippines is clear in its identification of the town as Pinamuñgajan, which gave birth to the town of Aloguinsan in a paper trail starting with a petition by the principalia dated February 26, 1885 and ending in the official approval of October 20, 1885. Tilled or Farmed, Cared for, Fruit-Bearing. Three different names that all speak of what Bermejo describes as “tan interesante de la isla de Cebu,” a very interesting part of this island of Cebu.

I'm amazed because they probably really hired someone to carve out of a very huge stone another finial in the same manner that the original one was made.

but they were not able to replace the damaged finial which is now in the museum. hehehe

Leon Kilat’s revolution
Trizer D. Mansueto
(CDN, 29 Mar 08)

Each time I go to Carcar City, I am constantly reminded by Gen. Leon Kilat’s whitewashed statue astride a horse that once Cebuanos rose up in arms for a few days against the abusive Spaniards, which is now celebrated in history. It is a reminder that Cebuanos, too, struggled to rid this country of oppression.

During the Tres de Abril revolt in 1898, Spaniards and pro-Spanish Filipinos faced the worst nightmare of their lives so that, majority of them sought refuge within the walls of Fort San Pedro.

In order to escape the heat of the revolution, some Spanish families hurriedly left the Philippines to seek refuge in their mother country, returning only when everything subsided and when peace was restored in order to resume their old role, but this time as “enlightened” & “benevolent” masters of the brown race.

After many years, by stroke of history and due to exigency, the former colonial masters adopted Filipino citizenship and became “white Filipinos” who went on to exploit the Philippines and its people. All through these years, they have also adopted our native languages and some culture through exigency. But in reality, they have remained foreigners in heart and soul, maintaining loyalty to Spain and America. They can just renounce their “Filipino” citizenship anytime they want to. Why would they bother when there’s not a drop of native blood running in their veins.

The Philippine situation is still like what Rizal had written about more than a century ago. As these “white Filipinos” continue to become richer, native Filipinos also become poorer. The rich continue to accumulate more and more wealth, while Filipinos had grown more miserable. We Filipinos “own” the land as enshrined in the Constitution but in reality, we have already been dispossessed and we will just wake up one day that we’ve once again become mere tenants because this has been passed on to the “white Filipinos.”

Native Filipinos have become like Cabesang Tales in Rizal’s El Fili whose family had tamed the wild forest through sweat and blood but was only dispossessed and forcibly evicted from it. Having become miserable and reduced to slavery, Filipinos, no longer able to bear the oppression, will someday rise to topple their oppressors. The revolution will once again happen to equalize the great divide.

Some say that a revolution is farfetched because conditions have already changed but this isn’t so, because it has been proven in history that time will really come when people’s rage will just burst collectively.

Having a bloody revolution is not farfetched, especially if many are wallowing in poverty and oppression. These two conditions breed discontent among people and as what history has shown, the poor are not afraid to risk their lives for something they aspire because they don’t have anything to lose in the first place.

The “enlightened” & “benevolent” white Filipinos will call their brown counterparts as ingrates for the opportunities they may have given them, but in reality, these things are just a drop in the bucket. They will claim that they have given back to the people their dues through their foundations or charities, how much but a paltry sum. They think that people are dumb enough not to believe that they just use these as precepts to cheat the government from paying the correct taxes that they should be paying.

The coming revolution will not only be focused on white Filipinos but also those who denigrate the race, especially those who enjoy the hospitality of the people but who demonize them and call them names. A revolution will not choose who to topple because it will certainly topple those that the people perceive as their enemies – including those who take advantage of their sad plight like politicians who have only enriched themselves.

Revolutions are part of human society. It is part of man’s struggle for existence. It was here before led by Andres Bonifacio and Leon Kilat and people resort to it if there is continuous discontent. Only when men will not struggle anymore that it will be rendered useless. Thus, Leon Kilat’s revolution, therefore, did not cease in April 1898. It rages on.

^^ Sir Dale, can you confirm if the proposed plan for a federal government of the Visayas reached Cebu in 1898 from Iloilo? Because the said junta govierno that was supposed to replace the Spanish colonial administration in Iloilo formed a government that would encompass all of Visayas in a federal form of the government. This was lead by one of the patriarchs of the Lopez clan (of ABSCBN/Benpres).

I really want to have a perspective of what was going on in 1898, after the Spanish surrender of Manila on August 1898...or by the time of Tres de Abril.

Thanks! See you on....Thursday. :)

"In the Visayas, Gen. Diego de los Rios, who had become Spanish-governor-general with headquarters in Ililo after the surrender of Manila tried to avert the total loss of the colony by offering reforms and encouraging the Ilongo elite to organize Visayas and MIndanao into separate government that shall disengage itself from Luzon and resist the Americans. Cebu governor Adolfo Montero supported the plan and two Cebuano delegates Pablo Mejia and Miguel Logarta, were sent to Iloilo for a conference.

With the insurgents knocking on the doors, however, the Spaniards no longer controlled the situation even in the Visayas. Instead in an assembly in Santa Barbara, Iloilo, on 17 November 1898, a "provisional revolutionary government of the Visayas" was organized pledging its allegiance to the Aguinaldo government. It was an Ilongo affair with little Cebuano participation. In Jaro, on 17 December 1898, a "Federal State of the Visayas" was established but again without Cebuano participation. An Ilongo, Fernando Salas, was designated "councilor of Cebu." The rapid march of events prevented the materialization of common Visayan front and the "federal state" was dissolved on 27 April 1899."

Went to mass last Friday and I tried to observe it.

I think it's made of concrete and it's poorly made compared to the ones carved in stone, hehehe.




PS: (When I went to mass last Friday, I became "enlightened" again. This usually happens unexpectedly and I don't know if something is wrong with me. Anyway, while the songs for the sto.nino were sung in the middle of the mass, I thought, why are we worshipping and waving our hands to a small wooden statue of a baby? If we go to heaven someday, is there really a sto.nino in Heaven who will meet us with a golden crown and hands made of gold?) Hehehehe... :nuts:

Also, who said they don't have any "native" blood in those families? I can show photos of the Zóbel de Ayala whos ancestors look like your typical Filipino (kidda Bombay looking) "look" thats not Chinese looking, okay.

Doesn't he know that in other colonies the Criollos are the ones who started the revolutions and to prove their love and independence of their "countries". The Anak ng Bayan or KKK ideology came from the liberal Spain and Latin America. It originally came from the famous cry in Spanish, hijos del país.

xenophobia or not, it is true. :)

Ayaw tawon ko ninyo puspusi!!! Wa ko'y labot. Ygo ra kong nangutana kang @AB sa iyang mga razon!!! Ako man noo’y gi-quote hasta kaluoy… jajaja :nocrook:

But yea, xenophobia can be self-perpetuating and feed on itself. If for instance all the whites left, the next target on the hierarchy will be the Fil-Chinese (reminiscing Indonesia’s riots & 4 decades ago, Malaysia & Singapore’s race riots, right?) . If all the Chinese left, the next target will be the Koreans and so forth and so on. With all the non-Austronesians gone, the ethnic groups will be eyeing each other with hostility.

Taga-an na lang tika’ag gift @bai AB. Mga rosary prayer para sa pagpalandong kay devotee man ka ni Senyor Sto. Nino.

Mientras mag-pray ka mangita kog katugdonan sa akong bag-o nga Mercato Empire. Gusto ko ngadto sa Micronesia magmugna kog Cebuano colony didto unya ako ang spiritual leader. Ang among power didto puro windfarms. :lol:

Apostles Creed
Creo en Dios, Padre todopoderoso, creador del Cielo y de la Tierra. Creo en Jesucristo su único Hijo, Nuestro Señor, que fue concebido por obra y gracia del Espíritu Santo; nació de Santa María Virgen; padeció bajo el poder de Poncio Pilato; fue crucificado, muerto y sepultado; descendió a los infiernos; al tercer día resucitó de entre los muertos; subió a los cielos y está a la diestra de Dios Padre; desde allí ha de venir a juzgar a los vivos y a los muertos. Creo en el Espíritu Santo, en la Santa Iglesia Católica, la comumión de los Santos en el perdon de los pecados la resurrección de los muertos y la vida eterna.

Our Father
Padre nuestro, que estás en el cielo. Santificado sea tu nombre. Venga tu reino. Hágase tu voluntad en la tierra como en el cielo. Danos hoy nuestro pan de cada día. Perdona nuestras ofensas, como también nosotros perdonamos a los que nos ofenden. No nos dejes caer en tentación y líbranos del mal.

Hail Mary
Dios te salve, María. Llena eres de gracia: El Señor es contigo. Bendita tú eres entre todas las mujeres. Y bendito es el fruto de tu vientre: Jesús. Santa María, Madre de Dios, ruega por nosotros pecadores, ahora y en la hora de nuestra muerte.

Glory Be
Gloria al Padre, al Hijo y al Espíritu Santo. Como era en el principio, ahora y siempre, por los siglos de los siglos.

Oh My Jesus
Oh mi Jesús, perdónanos nuestros pecados, líbranos del fuego del infierno, lleva todas las almas al cielo, especialmente las mas necesitadas de tu misericordia

Hail Holy Queen
Dios te salve, Reina y Madre de misericordia, vida, dulzura y esperanza nuestra, Dios te salve. A ti clamamos los desterrados hijos de Eva. A ti suspiramos gimiendo y llorando en este valle de lágrimas. Ea, pues, Señora, abogada nuestra: vuelve a nosotros esos tus ojos misericordiosos. Y después de este destierro, muéstranos a Jesús, fruto bendito de tu vientre. Oh clemente, oh piadosa, oh dulce Virgen María. Ruega por nosotros, Santa Madre de Dios, para que seamos dignos de las promesas de Cristo.

Final Prayer
Oh Dios de quién Único Hijo nos ha otorgado los beneficios de la vida eterna, concédenos la gracia que te pedimos mientras meditamos los Misterios del Mas Santo Rosario de la Bienaventurada Virgen María, debemos imitar lo que contienen y obtener lo que prometen, a través del mismo Cristo Nuestro Señor

I was in Cathedral a while ago and again I was "enlightened."

I enjoyed seeing those little kids in angels costume passing down the aisle and putting flowers at the feet of the statue of the Virgin Mary. I was thinking, what if a four year old child will don a red costume of Satan -- complete with horns, tail and trident -- and will also pass down the aisle also carrying a flower?

I wonder how the parents of the children would react..

Umm, OT nako..

According to Ricky Jose in the oh-so very expensive AyalaMuseum-published book "Power, Faith, Image", the ivory and wooden statues in the Philippines were first made by Chinese artisans who passed on the craft to Filipinos.

Here is a list of the artisans and their studios in Manila in the 19th to early 20th century:

1. Leoncio Asuncion Molo (1813-1888), Sta. Rosa Street (now Evangelista), Quiapo

2. Eduvigio de Jesus (ca. 1820s-1868) - Corner of Padre Gomez and Ronquilo Street, Quiapo.

3. Romulado Teodoro de Jesus y De Los Reyes (1848-1921) Calle San Roque (1870s), Calle San Pedro (188s), advertised his shop as "Taller de la Sociedad Escultures". Founder of the Gremio de Escultores de Santa Cruz

4. Bonifacio Arevalo y Flores (1850-1920) - dental clinic (he was a dentist!) and sculpture studio in Calle Eliziondo in the 1870s; Calle Escolata in the 1880s and Calle Carriedo.

6. Isabelo Tampico y Lacandola (1850-1933) - Calle Palma; then in 1890, Calle San Sebastian (now R. Hidalgo St.)

7. Eugenio Llerena y Valencia (1860-1924) - his father's shop was in Calle del Rosario (later Echague, now Carlos Palanca St.); then he moved to Calle Carriedo and then to Calle Arlegui

8. Doroteo Reyes Punsalan (1861-1935) - received training through his father, Francisco Reyes. Workshop in Calle Centeno (later renamed Calle Raon, now Tomas Pinpin, Binondo)

9. Vicente Francsico y Dionisio (1865-1936) - he apprenticed under Sotero Garcia; workshop estabished in 1884 at Calle Dalumbayan (at the head of today's Rizal Avenue).

10. Ciriaco Gaudinez Javier (end of 1848-1919 or early 1920) - workshop was at Calle Escolta.

11. Juan Salgado y Arevalo (active in Manila ca 1877-ca. 1895) - in the 1870s his studio was at CAlle Crespo. Displayed at the Manila Expo of 1895 was his ivory "Crucifix" and "Birth of Christ" in glass urn with ivory figures and nacre decorations.

12. Mariano Pascual Nacpil y Rivera (ca. 1850-1900) - Quiapo. Manila. Crucifix signed by him in 1887 now at the Museo Nacional de Antropologia. Madrid.

13. Eulogio Garcia Velarde (1871-1936) - received training through his father, Sotero Garcia y Arevalo (ca. 1835-1917); studio at Calle Sta. Rosa, now Quezon Boulevard (his father's studio); then in 1890s worked at No. 12 Calle Carriedo, corner of Calle Palma.

14. Graciano Nepomuceno (1881-1974!) - workshop at Calle Evangelista.

15. Cayetano Castillo (active in late 19th to early 20th century)


Sculptors with studios in the famous Paete town in Laguna:

16. Tomas Valdello (known active years, 1881-1887)

17. Mariano Madrinan y Baldemor (1858-1939)


Spanish sources state that the ivory statues brought to New Spain (Mexico) as well as Spain itself during the 16th century onwards were made in the Philippines. They were usually brought there by Spanish officials when they were transferred or had finished their tour of duty in lonely, lowly Philippines.


It is, thus, no wonder that the museums in Mexico and Spain that display ivories always label them as coming from the Philippines.

The ivory, of course, came form Africa through Morocco and on to other destinations until they reached the Philippines.


The retablos and other carved elements of churches in the Philippines are obviously locally-made, perhaps with Chinese artisanship that was later passed on to mestizo Sangleys and Indios with talent.

The ceiling of the church was painted in 1935 with Biblical scenes by famous Cebuano artist Canuto Avila. He was also the same artist who painted the church ceilings in Bohol.

yaw kahadolk oi...people here just pretend to know things :lol:...we just post what we read somewhere or know from the back of our minds because we heard or saw it somewhere...


anyway, the Noels suffer the indignity of having plotted---together with other members of the Carcar elite---the assassination of Leon Kilat while he was asleep as their guest. that is, if you look at it from the side of the Revolutionaries.

you might then ask why there are so many Spanish-era houses in Carcar. well, i think you have the Noels and the other members of the elite to thank for...kay og wa pa nila patya si leon kilat, sunugan unta ni gen. montero ang poblacion sa Carcar, susama sa pagsunog sa poblacion sa Tuburan niadtong Abril 18 o 19, 1898 sa dihang gibombahan sa bapor nga Austria man tingali to, nga gikan sa Iloilo kuyog sa mga loyalista sa Inahang Espanya.

Alas, the interconnections and cross-currents of history do not make for a seamless retelling of Carcar's colored past.

In my own observation and opinion, the old retablos and other wooden parts of old churches show great chinese influence. the basilica for example. the carvings with the chrysanthemum and the pineapples, the griffins, the ensaymada like clouds and not to mention the fu dogs.

Thanks sir for sharing that idea.. was the book released in cebu btw or just in manila?

As to that Carcar thing, the murder of leon kilat preserved the town shall we say? hehe. Was Tuburan a grand town as well before gidauban?

Thanks arnold for the pics..

The book, entitled "Power + Faith + Image" costs about P4,600 and is available only at the Ayala Museum in Makati.

It was published by the museum in connection with their exhibit on ivories. It's the last major publication of the museum. Another one coming up at the end of the year is on the Gold of Ancestors exhibition at the 4th floor right now.

When Power + Faith + Image was first put on sale, it was priced at P6,500! You can imagine the wealth of information in it---which helps explain its price. I had to get a copy for my reference library....and because I am an impulsive shopper hahahaha! Wa guy kaon-kaon for three months! :lol::lol:

Dapat "Power + Faith + Image = Empty pocket"!!!!! But I tell you the book is worth your every lost cent.

Regarding Tuburan:

I do not know how Tuburan looked like but it was reported to be thriving town, in fact probably the largest town up north during the last 30 years of Spanish colonial rule.

By Jaime Picornell (http://showbizandstyle.inquirer.net/lifestyle/lifestyle/view/20080518-137282/Quota-International-holds-fund-raising-Santacruzan)
Philippine Daily Inquirer
First Posted 04:04:00 05/18/2008

MANILA, Philippines - The Quota International of Cebu held its annual Santacruzan to raise funds for its projects. Former president and event chairperson Cristina Corominas says these include Mission for the Deaf, the first high school for the hearing impaired; St. Martin de Porres for retarded children; and three daycare centers in Cebu City, located in Sawang Calero, Guba and San José, Talamban.

The Santacruzan started with a Sunday afternoon Mass at the San Carlos Seminary chapel. The weather forecast said it might rain and flower-decked umbrellas were prepared. But it poured hard and the pavement was so wet everyone was shuttled in cars to the Grand Convention Center for the coronation rites.

The ballroom was draped with about 100 yards of white silk to simulate a grand tent. A large number attended and on hand to welcome guests were Quota Cebu president Malou Veloso, president-elect Loreta Calderon, vice president Connie Garcia, secretary Evelyn Ramirez, and director Fely Gimarino who was in charge of the raffle.

Also present was charter president Lydia Ibañez, who founded Quota in Cebu in 1977. She is principal of St. Benedict Childhood Education Centre, where the Santacruzan participants come from. Registrar Socorro Codilla, an honorary Quotarian, helped Ibañez with the program.

Pretty ‘sagalas’

Cebu’s TV personality Bunny Pages took the role of chamberlain, announcing the grand entrances of sagalas in pretty gowns and glittering crowns. They were Renee Garcia, Francheska Canoy, Gwenth Cantillas, Mariane Ceniza, Chax Tiempo, Margarethe Sesbreño, Michealla Go, Sydney Ocampo, Isabel Codilla and Francine Gaviola.

The principes were Cyril Remulla, Mharty Tan, Lance Cañedo, Adfrancis Abella, Mikel Garcia, Aldrich Alvez and Carlos Ybañez.

A dozen little girls in white and downy wings were a prelude to Reina de los Angeles Trisha Marie Corominas. She was crowned by her predecessor, Isabella Pintor, and Joe Recio.

Reina de las Flores was Camille Veloso, tall and statuesque at 15. Her dashing grandpa Tony Veloso put the crown on her head, assisted by former councilor Joy Pesquera, who now serves as director of the Quota club. Grandma Tina Corominas went up the stage with a huge bouquet of flowers. Loud applause came from Camille’s parents Buddy and Carla Veloso, and maternal grandma Edwina Johnston Veloso.

Emperador Constantino Titan Arevalo was sick so runner-up Mildon Ladia took his place instead. He was crowned by provincial board member Agnes Magpale and last year’s emperador, Frangelico Batoy.

Pamela Abellana, 19, a student of International Engineering, was crowned Reina Elena by 2007 reina Mytha Ann Basubas Canoy. She received a bouquet of flowers from parents Philip and Louelle Abellana, director of Quota Cebu.

Sue Gray was Reina Emperatriz. An American, she has lived in Cebu for over 10 years and has joined several civic clubs. She was crowned by her predecessor, the lovely Elisa Estenzo Torres. Assisting was Rep. Raul del Mar, Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives. He is very supportive of Quota’s projects, especially in his district Cebu City North.

Royal dance

A highlight was “Los Lanzeros de Ligayan” danced by the sagalas and their escorts. Then came the royal dance with the crowned ladies swaying to waltz. Congratulations to all the Quota Cebu officers.

Aside from Malou, Loreta, Connie, and Evelyn, the other officers are treasurer Linda Rana, PRO Gasper Julia, auditor Marcia Godinez, directors Dulce Gantuangco, Dinah Lozada and Pinky Shan.

MANILA, Philippines - The Quota International of Cebu held its annual Santacruzan to raise funds for its projects. Former president and event chairperson Cristina Corominas says these include Mission for the Deaf, the first high school for the hearing impaired; St. Martin de Porres for retarded children; and three daycare centers in Cebu City, located in Sawang Calero, Guba and San José, Talamban.

The Santacruzan started with a Sunday afternoon Mass at the San Carlos Seminary chapel. The weather forecast said it might rain and flower-decked umbrellas were prepared. But it poured hard and the pavement was so wet everyone was shuttled in cars to the Grand Convention Center for the coronation rites.

The ballroom was draped with about 100 yards of white silk to simulate a grand tent. A large number attended and on hand to welcome guests were Quota Cebu president Malou Veloso, president-elect Loreta Calderon, vice president Connie Garcia, secretary Evelyn Ramirez, and director Fely Gimarino who was in charge of the raffle.

Also present was charter president Lydia Ibañez, who founded Quota in Cebu in 1977. She is principal of St. Benedict Childhood Education Centre, where the Santacruzan participants come from. Registrar Socorro Codilla, an honorary Quotarian, helped Ibañez with the program.

Pretty ‘sagalas’

Cebu’s TV personality Bunny Pages took the role of chamberlain, announcing the grand entrances of sagalas in pretty gowns and glittering crowns. They were Renee Garcia, Francheska Canoy, Gwenth Cantillas, Mariane Ceniza, Chax Tiempo, Margarethe Sesbreño, Michealla Go, Sydney Ocampo, Isabel Codilla and Francine Gaviola.

The principes were Cyril Remulla, Mharty Tan, Lance Cañedo, Adfrancis Abella, Mikel Garcia, Aldrich Alvez and Carlos Ybañez.

A dozen little girls in white and downy wings were a prelude to Reina de los Angeles Trisha Marie Corominas. She was crowned by her predecessor, Isabella Pintor, and Joe Recio.

Reina de las Flores was Camille Veloso, tall and statuesque at 15. Her dashing grandpa Tony Veloso put the crown on her head, assisted by former councilor Joy Pesquera, who now serves as director of the Quota club. Grandma Tina Corominas went up the stage with a huge bouquet of flowers. Loud applause came from Camille’s parents Buddy and Carla Veloso, and maternal grandma Edwina Johnston Veloso.

Emperador Constantino Titan Arevalo was sick so runner-up Mildon Ladia took his place instead. He was crowned by provincial board member Agnes Magpale and last year’s emperador, Frangelico Batoy.

Pamela Abellana, 19, a student of International Engineering, was crowned Reina Elena by 2007 reina Mytha Ann Basubas Canoy. She received a bouquet of flowers from parents Philip and Louelle Abellana, director of Quota Cebu.

Sue Gray was Reina Emperatriz. An American, she has lived in Cebu for over 10 years and has joined several civic clubs. She was crowned by her predecessor, the lovely Elisa Estenzo Torres. Assisting was Rep. Raul del Mar, Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives. He is very supportive of Quota’s projects, especially in his district Cebu City North.

Royal dance

A highlight was “Los Lanzeros de Ligayan” danced by the sagalas and their escorts. Then came the royal dance with the crowned ladies swaying to waltz. Congratulations to all the Quota Cebu officers.

Aside from Malou, Loreta, Connie, and Evelyn, the other officers are treasurer Linda Rana, PRO Gasper Julia, auditor Marcia Godinez, directors Dulce Gantuangco, Dinah Lozada and Pinky Shan.

Cristina Corominas thanked everyone for the success of the event. Her parting words: “Times are hard and challenging. For us, it simply means that more people need our help. We have to work much harder in order to continue with our projects.”

They have now started planning Santacruzan 2009. We are reminded that this Maytime fete commemorates the finding of the Cross by St. Helena, mother of Emperador Constantine, who made Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire.

May fiestas and heritage month
Trizer D. Mansueto
Cebu Daily News
24 May 2008

Before we were conquered, our ancestors lived either in small villages or in huts distant from one another but when the Spaniards came, our isolation ceased because we were placed under a reduction, which was facilitated by the friars so that the dispersed population would be brought “under the peal of the bells.” Most of our ancestors, of course, resisted resettlement because it would disrupt their livelihood which basically was farming so that some of them chose to become remontados (those who returned to the mountains) instead than starve to death.

In order to remedy the problem, the friars devised a wise idea, they thought of luring the natives periodically to the cabicera (the main settlement) through an irresistible magnet -- the fiesta. There were three major fiestas in the past – the Holy Week, Corpus Christi and the one in honor of the local patron saint. The plan proved to be very successful so that even in these modern times, we would always look forward to go home to our point of origin, not so much for the thought of gaba from the patron saint but to celebrate with family and friends.

Feast of San Isidro, patron saint of farmers

Most fiestas actually happen in May, not because it is the month with the most number of saints but because it is in this month that the feast of San Isidro Labrador, patron saint of farmers, is celebrated. Not only that, being a country where agriculture is the main livelihood, it also coincides with the end of the dry spell and the much-awaited start of the monsoon rains which signals the planting season.

Farmers celebrate the saint’s feast in thanksgiving for the past year’s abundant harvest and at the same time, offer supplications for a coming year of rich agricultural gain. In the more secular sense, fiesta is also used as a short respite from the drudgery of farming.

San Isidro is one of the popular saints so that two towns in Cebu venerate him as principal patron, namely: San Fernando and Tabogon and co-patron of Mandaue and San Remigio. This doesn’t even include other newer parishes who venerate him as patron and minor patron and the countless chapels in the entire province of Cebu.

One would not miss San Isidro’s image because he is represented as a farmer holding a shovel. Included in his iconography is that of a kneeling man, a representation of Juan de Vargas, a landowner with whom the saint worked for and that of an angel plowing the land with a carabao. According to a story, a co-worker of San Isidro reported him to his boss because he was frequently late in reporting for work due to his piety. One day, when Vargas went out to see for himself, “he saw that he (Isidro) actually came later than the others; but as he advanced to reprimand him, he saw not only San Isidro’s plow, but two others, pulled by teams of snow-white oxen, guided by invisible plowers.” He is also regarded as the patron of Madrid, Spain, whose intercession was not only sought by farmers but also by Spanish monarchs because of his prodigy.

Filipino farmers relate to San Isidro because of two things: the plow, which was introduced by the friars and had revolutionized our crude manual agriculture and the carabao, which was only equated as food by our ancestors but later became an indispensable companion of the farmer in tilling the land.

So May fiestas can be equated this way: monsoon rains + San Isidro + plow and the carabao + a year’s exhausting toil = big celebration.

National Heritage Month

By way of highlighting the significance of this month due to the rich culture and tradition which are connected with it, President Arroyo designated May as National Heritage Month in 2003.


Being so, it is but fitting to commend the individuals, institutions and groups which had contributed to the strengthening of the heritage movement in Cebu, in their different capacities like (in no particular order): Louella Eslao-Alix, Rudy Alix, Dr. Linda Alburo, Dr. Madrileña Dela Cerna, Mary Frances Despi, Gov. Gwen Garcia, Dr. Resil Mojares, Hon. Agnes Magpale, Msgr. Carl Pono, Fr. Brian Brigoli, Jojo Bersales, Dr. Joy Gerra, Jojin Pascual, Dr. Hope Yu, Msgr. Camilo Alia, Melva Java, Dr. Eliseo Canton, Fr. Dominador Besares, OSA, Ernesto Chua, Dr. Romola Savellon, Malou Samson, Val San Diego, Jerry Alfafara, Ruel Rigor, Ahmed Cuizon, Bino Guerrero, Luz Lucero, Gibb Lapinid, Arnold Sancover, Rene Desquitado, Dr. Louie Nacorda, Ron Tan, Gavin Bagares, Lilia Tiu, Laila Labajo, Jason Verallo, Allen Oral, Dr. Noel Ponce, Gerard Desquitado and other individuals who are equally involved but couldn’t anymore be mentioned here due to space limitations. We also recognize the institutions like the University of San Carlos, Cebuano Studies Center, Cathedral Museum of Cebu, Augustinian Community of Cebu, Casa Gorordo, Central Visayas Studies Center, Cebu Daily News, Boljoon, Barili and Bantayan Parish Museums and the Cebu Provincial Government, as well as groups like Hamiling Binilin, Carcar Heritage Conservation Society, Cebu Archdiocesan Commission for the Cultural Heritage of the Church and Boljoon Heritage Foundation.

We can already foresee the further growth of the heritage movement here, which we hope will redound to the increase in our knowledge of ourselves and move every Cebuano to take pride in his/her rich heritage.

Nighttime museum visits to highlight Cebu heritage


Cebu Daily News
First Posted 08:31:00 05/24/2008

The Cebu City government eyes nighttime museum visits as a tourist attraction and a source of livelihood for the local community.

“We are giving another dimension to (Cebu City) tours,” said Nagiel Bañacia, Cebu City public information officer, at the press conference for the second Gabii sa Kabilin (Night of Heritage) held yesterday.

“Why are tourists coming in? It is because of our beaches. But they also want to look at our culture,” he added.

Bañacia said the heritage activity that will be held on May 30 from 6 p.m. to 12 midnight is envisioned by the city government to be conducted not just once a year.

“This could be a source of livelihood for the kutsero (carriage driver) and vendors,” he said.

Five museums are participating in this year's nighttime museum visits: Casa Gorordo Museum, the Cathedral Museum, the Basilica del Santo Niño Museum, the Yap-Sandiego Ancestral House and the Fort San Pedro at the Plaza Independencia.

“Museums are often viewed as musty, dark dead buildings but they are not. They are venues for cultural presentations and exhibits,” said Jocelyn Gerra, Ramon Aboitiz Foundation Inc.'s Cultural Heritage Program director.

She said the first Gabii sa Kabilin attracted about 1,000 visitors despite a short preparation time.

This year, as a new feature, about 20 tartanillas or horse drawn carriage from barangay Duljo-Fatima will be available for those who wish to visit the museums.

For P50, each visitor would be able to take a ride on the carriage and will be brought to the participating museum of their choice, while for only P100, visitors will be able to visit all participating museums.

“It is a way of reviving this dying (means of) transportation,” said Banacia.

“The tartanillas are hardly seen except in Tabo-an,” said Louella Alix, Cathedral Museum representative and member of the Archdiocesan Cultural Heritage Commission.

She said there will be a Mass held at the Msgr. Virgilio Yap memorial chapel at the Cathedral Museum on Friday next week.

Security during the activity will be provided by the Cebu City Tourist police led by Senior Insp. Ryan Devaras who also warned the people against pick pockets.

There will also be a walking tour that will be conducted by Balbino “Ka Bino” Guerrero of the Cebuano Studies Center at the University of San Carlos.

The pre-arranged activity includes 25 people through the Cebu Heritage Monument, which Guerrero describes as “400 years of Cebu history in 10 minutes.” Editorial assistant Bernadette A. Parco

P50 for the entire five museums regardless of where you will start. There will be around 5 tartanillas per museum daw..

Anyway, here's an interesting paper about the "Transformation of Cebu City through the Development of its Transportation Infrastructure,"

Thanks for informing us on this good piece of information. Other than the Japanese english which makes this paper so terribly in need of editing, the facts contained are very, very illuminating!

(I wonder why Dr. Cal allowed his name to be used on this on-line paper without even editing its content---see for example "Nipa hat" in lieu of "nipa hut" hahaahah..Now that would be interesting to see, a nipa hat!!!!) :bash:


But then again, the salakot is indeed made of nipa leaves, right?

Guys, please support Gabii sa Kabilin on the evening of May 30.

Only Cebu is doing this in the Philippines and probably in Asia.

Tickets can be obtained from participating museums.

The first two buildings to rise in 1947, the as yet two-story Old Science Building and across, the Old Engineering Building, which at this time served as the tempoary Boys High School (now the incongruous Jollibee) along Pelaez Extension.

The Collegiate Building (now called Arthur Dingman Building) rises in 1948. Note that the old pre-war San Carlos tower and dining hall of the SVDs is still intact. It was later connected to the 1948 Collegiate Building. The altar and sacristy of USC Main Chapel (on the 3rd floor) Filipiniana Library (on the 2nd floor) VPAA Office (ground floor) as well as the Cebuano Studies Center and Social Science Research Center (basement) are located on this pre-war structure! No wonder ghosts are said to roam this section!

The Collegiate Building (now Dingman Building) along P. Del Rosario as it looked in 1955. Note the pharmacy at the "transitorium", the corner which connected the still three-story Old Science Building (now Watzlawik Hall) with the Collegiate Building. Today this corner is home to the Catholic Trade Center, across Jollibee. The fourth floor of the Old Science Building were added sometime in 1956 to add more clasrooms.

The Boys High School (now the North Campus) along Mango (now Maxilom) Avenue. Opened in 1956, this picture was taken in 1969 or thereabouts, when the Sergio Osmena Gym was still under construction.

The Girls High School, Teacher Education Center Pentagon (still missing two sides) and the yet-unfinished Rudolf Rahmann Cultural Center along Private Extension, ca. 1965. The campus is now collectively called the South Campus.

The USC Technological Center, the first building to rise in the Talamban Campus, then (inset, ca. 1967) and now. Well, minus the flyover pa.

The first two buildings to rise in 1947, the as yet two-story Old Science Building and across, the Old Engineering Building, which at this time served as the tempoary Boys High School (now the incongruous Jollibee) along Pelaez Extension.

The Collegiate Building (now called Arthur Dingman Building) rises in 1948. Note that the old pre-war San Carlos tower and dining hall of the SVDs is still intact. It was later connected to the 1948 Collegiate Building. The altar and sacristy of USC Main Chapel (on the 3rd floor) Filipiniana Library (on the 2nd floor) VPAA Office (ground floor) as well as the Cebuano Studies Center and Social Science Research Center (basement) are located on this pre-war structure! No wonder ghosts are said to roam this section!

The Collegiate Building (now Dingman Building) along P. Del Rosario as it looked in 1955. Note the pharmacy at the "transitorium", the corner which connected the still three-story Old Science Building (now Watzlawik Hall) with the Collegiate Building. Today this corner is home to the Catholic Trade Center, across Jollibee. The fourth floor of the Old Science Building were added sometime in 1956 to add more clasrooms.

i've got a little challenge for heritage buffs in here...since most if not all of Cebu City's heritage spots are located downtown, it's quite a shame that many locals, myself included, frown upon the idea of going downtown, thanks to its reputation of being a crime center and all other things unpleasant about city life. now, how are we supposed to appreciate our heritage, when the prospect of going downtown to visit our past bring chills down our spine?

i've been to the heritage night yesterday, and noticed the large number of police officers securing the spots, that in itself tells a lot, that people dont feel safe about going downtown, otherwise, why would all of those officers be needed...

and so, why wont the local heritage commission or whatever counterpart group, team up with local officials to come up with programs that would aim to make downtown a much safer place to be in. Downtown Cebu used to be the epicenter of the 'high-life' in our city, i think it's time that it regained that prestige

^^deeply entrenched beliefs and stereotypes are hard to change...but i'm with you in wishing that people--including myself--would see downtown in a different light. i personally still feel paranoid being around certain nooks and corners of old cebu, but that's just it, plain paranoia, yet that in itself is a powerful force to resist.

i appreciate your organization's efforts to boost interest in old cebu, such as the heritage night. but i do wish that there would be more similar to it, and a more intense campaign to bring people 'back' to downtown.

I think this is going to be the Gokongwei Brothers School of Engineering Conference Center...money is still lacking for the full Engineering School...and negotiations are still on the way to add more funds beyond the P50 million committed by John Gokongwei...


...and if plans push through a world-class tourist hospital (or whatever they call it) will soon rise beyond this area in the Talamban Campus...out of a consortium of Manila-based medical centers.

It was a coincidence that I dropped by at the museum a while ago and the Cardinal was there. He was asking about the upcoming lecture and exhibition (when and where, what time, etc.). Good thing I saw an invitation card so I showed it to him.

He said that he will put in the museum a portrait of Cardinal Rosales by Amorsolo kuno which is currently at the Archbishop's palace now.

The clip-clop of horses feet and the thrill of riding a tartanilla was a rare urban treat for nine-year-old Niña Mendoza, daughter of photographer Junjie Mendoza.

Last Friday, she got to visit old houses at night, watch ladies dance in Filipiniana gowns and listen to stories behind unusual antiques.

Mendoza was among hundreds of Cebuanos and other visitors, some with families in tow, who walked or rode by horse rigs to five museums in Cebu City that opened their doors for a rare cultural experience that lasted till midnight.

Admission was P100 for all five sites. The tartanilla ride, at P50 per person, was one of the evening’s biggest come-ons with over 20 tartanillas plying a few of blocks of Cebu City’s downtown area where the museums are located.

The night museum tour, Gabii sa Kabilin (Night of Heritage), was a first activity of its kind in the Philippines.

“Cebu City is the only place in Asia and the Philippines that offered this night museum tour that showcased the collection of these museums beyond their usual operating hours,” said Joy Gerra, executive director of the Ramon Aboitiz Foundation Inc.’s Cultural Heritage Program.

Gerra said the activity aimed to encourage Cebuanos and guests to visit local museums to better understand and appreciate Cebuano history and culture. The night tour was patterned after the practice of some museums in Europe that stay open until 10 p.m. or midnight.

The five local museums were Casa Gorordo Museum on 35 Lopez-Jaena Street; the Cathedral Museum on P. Burgos Street; the Sto. Niño Museum at the Sto. Niño Basilica; the Yap-Sandiego Ancestral House on corner Mabini and Lopez-Jaena Streets; and tourist icon Fort San Pedro in Plaza Independencia with a short visit to the Cebu Heritage Monument in what once was the old Parian district of Cebu.

People hopped from one museum to another. Some walked, rode their cars or hailed any available tartanilla. A number of the visitors were families with children, like the family of Mandaue City Mayor Jonas Cortes.

Live cultural shows unfolded on the street like the performances of the San Diego dance troupe, all decked out in Spanish colonial dress. Outside the Yap-San Diego house, a singer filled the air with Cebuano melodies.

Security was well provided with police, barangay tanods, and traffic enforcers visible near the museums and along the tartanilla route which ran through Mabini, P. Burgos, and Magallanes and M.C. Briones Streets. Copy Editor Joyce C. Abaño (http://globalnation.inquirer.net/cebudailynews/news/view/20080601-140085/Walking-the-night-for--Gabii-sa-Kabilin)

Above: A gold earring, one of the artifacts found in the recent archaeological diggings in Boljoon, Cebu. This is the first time in the history of Philippine archeology that a gold earring was found in an actual burial.

A presentation regarding the archaeological findings in Boljoon was presented just a while ago at the Cathedral Museum of Cebu by Mr. Joeber Bersales of the University of San Carlos. The program was divided into two parts the first of which was a powerpoint presentation held at the audio-visual hall and the second part was the viewing of the artifacts at the Msgr. Virgilio Yap Memorial Chapel.

The artifacts being displayed include some ceramic plates, a gold earring worn by a male, a gold necklace, some iron daggers and spears, etc. All of these artifacts were found along with some skeletal remains at the plaza of the church of Boljoon, a southern municipality in Cebu. Religious medals dating back to the Spanish colonial period were also found.

The area where the artifacts and skeletal remains were found was once a settlement of pre-Hispanic Filipinos whose practices included burying the dead beneath their houses. It was from these pre-Hispanic settlements that parishes were established and massive stone churches built during the Spanish colonial era.

The presentation a while ago was attended by invited guests with no less than His Eminence Ricardo Cardinal Vidal, archbishop of Cebu, gracing the affair. A bigger presentation that will perhaps be open to those interested will be conducted at the University of San Carlos. The artifacts will also be displayed there for about a month.

Today a small group of heritage advocates and church workers will catch a glimpse of the wealth of artifacts that were uncovered in Boljoon during three excavation seasons that were carried out in front of the nearly 250-year-old church and convent there. This will be held at the Cathedral Museum of Cebu (where else but beside the Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral, of course) from 1 to 3 o’clock in the afternoon. Guest of honor is His Eminence, Ricardo J. Cardinal Vidal. Only about 50 have been invited to this private event but a much larger exhibition for the general public will be carried out at the University of San Carlos Museum by middle of June. Consider today’s event then as an opening salvo of sorts that will eventually lead to the artifacts being displayed in Boljoon where they rightfully belong.

Today’s affair is hosted by the Archdiocesan Commission for the Cultural Heritage of the Church, headed by Msgr. Carlito Pono, which facilitated the granting of permits by the Archdiocese of Cebu for the excavations, including latest one which was carried out from March 24 to April 24 this year. The ever indefatigable and trustworthy commission member Louella “Loy” Alix and her ever supportive husband, Rudy, have made this event a success, working in the background to bring it to fruition, together with co-commissioners Kai Despi, Trizer Manseuto and Fr. Bryan Brigoli, who is also the head of the museum’s curatorial board.

Among the highlights is a two-part presentation of the results thus far, including the announcement of the radiocarbon dates for four bone samples that we sent to the University of Arizona (UofA) in October last year. These samples came from four different individuals, part of the first 15 burials that were recovered during the February and May-June 2007 excavations seasons (we have uncovered 26 in total). UofA has a facility called Accelerated Mass Spectrometry (AMS) Laboratory which processes all sample requirements for radiocarbon dating in the U.S. and even beyond. The Boljoon Archaeological Project was fortunate to count not only on the support of the University of San Carlos, the Archdiocese as well as the Cebu Provincial Government and the Spanish Program for Cultural Cooperation, but also the fruits from networks that were established abroad.

One of these was the provision of free radiocarbon dates for three samples, which was later expanded to four, courtesy of Dr. Peter Bellwood of the Australian National University, foremost expert and author of books on Austronesian migration and the peopling of Southeast Asia. A facility had been made available through the National Science Foundation in the U.S. to pay for radiocarbon dates to the less fortunate archaeologists like those of us in the Philippines. The proposal I submitted was swiftly endorsed and approved, thus doing away with the $2,000 charge that would have put an irreparable hole on my pocket.

And what about the dates? AMS Lab results show four dates: Burial # 1 - 1579 to 1659; Burial # 3 - 1505 to 1593; Burial # 4 - 1488 to 1570; and Burial # 8 - 1551 to 1631. The Boljoon Church, thus, is most probably built on a pre-colonial burial ground or, if we agree with early missionary accounts, on a settlement of Cebuanos who buried their dead beneath their houses.

just wondering, where can i get some material on the rise and development of 'modern cebu' and the people behind it?

and just a thought on the downtown thing, i've got a crazy proposal...

since some people miss Freedom Park a lot, and i do mean Park. Why not transfer the whole Freedom Market, together with Carbon Market all underground? we could have a world-record for this, the world's largest underground public market. :lol:

Cebu Province soon to have own political museum


Cebu Daily News

Cebu province will soon have its own political museum similar to Manila's Museum of Philippine Political History (MPPH).

This after the Provincial Board (PB) passed a resolution last Monday authorizing Cebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia to enter into a memorandum of agreement (MOA) with the National Historical Institute (NHI) through its chairperson Ambeth Ocampo.

The resolution authored by PB members Agnes Magpale and Rosemarie Durano states that under the five-year MOA, the Cebu provincial government will allot 250 square meters of lot for the MPPH site.

Under the proposed MOA, the NHI will work with local historians tapped by the provincial government in identifying and storing historical data for viewing at the provincial museum.

The institute will also help identify the museum's curatorial and physical requirements.

Both the NHI and the provincial government agreed to allocate P1 million each to build the museum and start its operations. The NHI said it “shall fully support and assist the province” in all aspects of the museum's establishment.

“The idea is to come up with a replication of the MPPH in the Visayas...for the people in the Visayas to experience the MPPH in their geographical location and not to have to go to Manila to be educated on our political history” the draft MOA stated.

The NHI said it would turn over maintenance and supervision of the museum to the Cebu provincial government once the latter is ready to do so. With the turnover, the provincial government will employ its own museum curator, guide, security and maintenance personnel.

Until that time, the NHI will authorize the Cebu provincial government to charge a P10 entrance fee for visiting students, disabled and elderly guests with a P20 fee to be collected from other visitors.

Also under the arrangement, the Cebu provincial government would also be required to submit a monthly statement of accounts for monitoring purposes. /Reporter Doris C. Bongcac

unemployed as i am, i found a convenient and productive (?) way to spend my time...

presenting, the first phase of my ongoing Sketchup project, the New Freedom Park...




Wow! This is amazing. Reminds me of the underground malls in Singapore. I've always wondered how they prevent seawater from seeping down these underground structures.

What about the perennial flooding of downtown Cebu? Will this affect an underground market like Carbon? And airconditioning, too. That would make the whole market an expensive place.

Regarding flooding, I heard from a reliable source that Tomas wants to tear down the old Citicenter market beside Junquera and turn the whole block of P. DEl Rosario, Junquera, Sanciangko and D. Jakosalem into a pond to collect rainwater like the man-made (or to be politically correct, person-made) lakes in major cities in Europe, where they have huge geyser-like fountains to churn the water from time to time. Now that is something that Cebu really needs: a catchment basin, with a park around it. :banana:

More funds needed for Oslob church reconstruction

CEBU CITY, Philippines - Cebu Archbishop Ricardo Cardinal Vidal said there is still no specific date for when the reconstruction of the Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception Parish in Oslob town, south of Cebu, will be started with only less than P1 million in collections so far for the project.

“Aside from the parish collections, from the second collections and other fund raising activities like the benefit concert, we now have P700,000 plus,” the prelate told Cebu Daily News (CDN) on Thursday.

The Cardinal said he is still waiting for word from the engineers and architects that the archdiocese has consulted for the reconstruction of the church, which was razed by fire last March 26, 2008.

“We still have to be sure about the architecture and engineering (aspect) of the project before work can be started. We have to see if it (the church) is still strong enough to hold the roofing,” Vidal said.

However, conservation architect Melva Rodriguez-Java, a member of the Cebu Archdiocesan Commission of the Cultural Heritage of the Church, said the amount collected so far was not enough to start the expensive reconstruction work on the 161-year-old church.

“It would cost us (to reconstruct the church) about P25,000 to P30,000 per square meter,” she told CDN, adding that she could not give an estimate as to the total cost of the entire project.

The church, which was about 64 meters long, 15 meters wide and nine meters high, was struck by fire three times since it was built.

The first was in 1942 when Filipino guerrillas burned down the church and only the walls and the columns, which were made of coral stones, were left of the church.

Based on the book “Angels in Stone” written by Father Pedro Galende, OSA, a second fire of unknown origin hit the church in 1955 that gutted the whole complex except for the masonry wall of both buildings.

The third time that the church was burned down was in March this year. Fire officials said the fire was caused by faulty wirings.

Architect Java, who gave a lecture on the Oslob church renovation on Thursday at the Cebu Cathedral Museum, said she and her students from the University of San Carlos College of Architecture were able to make drawings of the various designs of the doors and windows of the church.

She said that these patterns can be used as basis for the reconstruction work.

She added that there are “two very fragile things that survived the fire,” the high relief of the Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception and the flowers that can be found beside the walls of the church.

“The image (of the Virgin Mary) is carved in wood while the flowers that survived were right at the side of the wall (of the church) that got burned,” she said.

Will it be different from the provincial museum that you will be setting up?


//

I have seen the Museum of Phil. Political History (MPPH) at NHI. It is very, very educational and informative although I found the spacing a bit cramped. But the objects on display are all about national events. The one in Cebu is supposed to replicate the one in Manila. But we insisted that the Cebuano events should be highlighted and given prominence, especially since the artifacts and objects I will provide will be all about and of Cebu.

My only worry now is the timetable...given that the museum needs to be inaugurated at 6 p.m. of August 8.

The MOA signing for the museum will coincide with other MOA signings at the capitol on June 25, not June 23 as I earlier indicated. :ohno:
