Fort San Pedro (Fuerte de San Pedro)

The Fort San Pedro (Fuerte de San Pedro in Spanish) is a military defense structure in Cebu built by Spaniards in 1973 to repel Muslim raiders. It was built under the command of the first Governor-General of the Philippines, Miguel Lopez de Legazpi.

Plaza Independencia

Plaza Independencia is said to be the most historically significant plaza in Cebu. It's name says it all, the symbol of independence and freedom from all the conquerors that tried to take over the island. Its land along with the age-old acacia trees are witness the rich history of the province during the colonial days.

Ocean Suites

Imagine waking up in the morning with this view...breathtaking!

The Original AA's Barbeque (MJ Cuenco Branch)

On my second visit to Cebu with my family, I brought them to another branch of AA's Barbeque, not only because I want them to try the food there, but it's also near our next destination, the Plaza Independencia and Fort San Pedro.

Bayfront Hotel Cebu

On my 2nd visit to Cebu with my family, we stayed in this hotel. Not only because I got a good deal, but because it's near the seaport going to Bohol.

Ocean Park Waterfront Attractions & Rides

Compare to the Summit, the attractions and rides in Waterfront are more for kids and well, for those kids at heart that are too afraid to try the more thrilling rides, like me.

Ocean Park Summit Attractions & Thrilling Rides

The Summit of Ocean Park Hong Kong is more exciting and thrilling than the Waterfront. Not only because a lot of extraordinary animals are located there, but because of the hair raiser rides! I never tried them though because of my motion sickness and I don't like scaring myself, but for those who want to feel the adrenaline, you'll love this place.
