Pink Sisters, My Cebu Experience

Image
What place comes to mind when you hear the phrase "Pink Sisters"? Hmm, yes, Baguio, then Tagaytay - in that order, right?! But did you know there is also such a monastery in Cebu? Ah, well, not really Cebu City since it is already a few steps away from the boundary. It is in Mandaue City. Yep, that is the 'Adoration Convent of Divine Peace' - a monastery for nuns clad in pink habit, reason why its called 'pink-sisters' and I think you know all about that part, right?! Anyway, this convent (and chapel of course - that's my topic in the first place) sits in an urban neighborhood that is by the boundary of two barangays both named Banilad. Yep, Barangay Banilad, Cebu City and Barangay Banilad, Mandaue City! And that is along AS Fortuna Ave., - the famed strip where many notable restaurants and branches of virtually every bank in this country are located with or without ATMs! Oh yes, as of this writing, AS Fortuna has four hotels, two of them new - and am only...

Imperial Palace Resort Day Tour Registration

That’s the “Imperial Palace Waterpark Resort & Spa” for a complete name. Yep, it is in the province of Cebu, in the city of Lapu-lapu, on the island of Mactan. Capice? Alright, how I got to this resort, you probably have already read the previous blog entry. If not, and you really wanna know, go read it and come back here. It wont hurt, I assure you! And no, I did not go there to gate-crash or go there without reservation. I called up the day before to ask about their day tour rates and its inclusions. So there I was… at the lobby. Oh it’s a big lobby, probably as wide and as 5-star as Shangri-la Mactan’s, if you can call it that. And being the ‘right-handed’ that I am, I veered towards my right where I could see the bellhops and another desk that said Customer Service. As I walked towards it, I did wonder with a thought as to where could their front desk be! Am not joking, I could not see any hint of the usual long counter of a front desk, where the concierge is usually at one e...

Pambujan Town Proper

Image
Pronounce that as pam-bu-han. The letter J is hispanized and pronounced like H. From the previous town of San Roque to Pambujan is somewhere between 7 to 8 kilometers says the car's odometer. No wonder it took us only about 6 minutes, and on good roads with wonderful views! Tree-lined roads are always wonderful to look at, right? Especially that the trees here are already grown. That means these were planted years ago. Kudos to the people of San Roque and Pambujan. Alright.., my excitement grew as we approached this.., the Pambujan Bridge... If in the previous story I said everything seems to be either new or being repaired in San Roque, it continues all the way here. Just look at this bridge (the old/historical Pambujan Bridge), it's newly spruced up or still being "dressed". Even the electric post is also new! From the bridge is a nice view of the Pambujan River, made colorful by those boats... They are called "pambot" (from the English name: "...
