Danggit Bai ^^, I went to Cebu last June 2009. Trying to recall again what was done and what was seen, reviewing the pictures filed on my hard disk. When I went there I used two cameras my Casio EX-Z1080 and my Nikon D60. I traveled with two office mates by Philippine Airlines. We left Manila June 11, 2009.
Day 1, Leaving Manila... Arrival to Cebu

We arrived at Mactan Airport, then we went to visit the Mactan Shrine, where the statue of Lapu-Lapu is standing.. He is one of the first Filipino Heroes who resisted the invasion of Spain,
Lapu-Lapu is the one who killed
Magellan.

After visiting the Shrine, we ate SUTUKIL,,, well we thought it was a name of a restaurant there. SUTUKIL means sinugba, tuwa, kilaw. It a combination of three meals. Sinugba is Grilled, Tuwa is Sour Soup and Kilaw is vinegar raw fish.

Around the afternoon on our first day at Cebu we visited
Fort San Pedro.
When we arrived there the clouds are dark, and inside the fort there are tables for a wedding reception I guess it was an unlucky day for a garden wedding party :( the rain poured suddenly :(
