Cebu, World
Where in the world is Cebu?
Cebu is an island in the Pacific, part of the Philippine archipelago. It is not an independent state but it is just one of the provinces of the Philippines. Cebu City is the Philippines’ oldest city, and one of the best cities to live in Asia.
Magellan discovered (or as my college history teacher puts it: rediscovered) Cebu in 1521. The people in the island, led by Rajah Humabon are quite friendly. They gladly accepted Mr. Magellan and his crew. But unfortunately, another group from the nearby island are not that welcoming. The foreigners considered it as a hostile move and started their attack. And so we just heard of stories that an arrow hit Mr. Magellan and so he died. The Philippines got its first hero in Lapulapu. But some said that the first hero killed the first tourist. Mr. Magellan did not come as a tourist but as a conqueror. Cebuanos are very friendly to tourists.
A friend suggested that the whole thing was a conspiracy. And that it was not Lapulapu who killed Magellan but his own mutinous crew. Oh well, I just have to believe the historians. My friend is an accountant by the way.
Blog from Cebu to the World, is somewhat a weird title for a blog. But I like it, even if it would only be me who’s gonna like it. I am a blogger from Cebu. Borne here, grew up here, and lived here. But I’m gonna bring my voice (or my whisper) to the world thru this blog.
