The place that I really want to go back again is Cebu City. It is located in Central Visayas region. This is one of the provinces of Philippines.
A place that you will surely go back again because of the beach, view, people, festivals and food.
Here is one of the main attractions in Cebu City, the Magellan's Cross.
This cross was planted by Spanish and Portuguese explorers as per advice of Ferndinand Magellan in March 15, 1521.
They keep it so as to protect the original cross from people who chipped away parts of the cross for souvenir purposes on that belief that the cross possesses miraculous powers. The cross is housed in a chapel next to the Basilica Minore del Santo Niño on Magallanes Street just in front of the city center of Cebu City.
Aside from the historical sites of Cebu city. They also have the place where you can swim with the whales in Oslob.
But before you can dive with the whales, they some orientations first for the do's and don't's while on the ocean.
As far as I can remember, here are the lists:
- People are not allowed to put sun block because it may be harmful on the whales because of the chemical or the content of the sun blocks. Much better if it's organic and biodegradable water based sunblocks.
- Atleast 5 meters away from sharks. Whale sharks may be disturb, alter its behavior, and compromise future research efforts.
- Do enter the water slowly from the boat into the water. Doing this won’t get the whale sharks disturbed and reduce stress.
- Do bring cameras without flash.
There are still some reminders that I think I missed it.
Thanks to the technology. We capture this perfect moment as we find it hard because the whales are keep on roaming around together with the fishes.
Next stop is the Aguinid Falls – Samboan.
This falls has 5 levels before you reach the top.
Soo better do some stretching first. :)
Climbing on top is really hard but when you reach it. It's like achievement unlock!
You'll see the top view of Oslob's ocean.
The reasons that I really want to go back in Cebu is that I know there are some places that I didn't come to because of time.
But if ever I got the chance to go back, I'll make sure that I will not miss any moment staying in Cebu.
