There is a paradise island northeast of Cebu waiting to be discovered and explored. I am sure not all of you had gone there. Even I, who had lived in Cebu most of my life, had only gone there once, two weeks ago. I am referring to Camotes, and the towns of San Francisco, Poro, Tudela and Pilar.

This is a follow-up post on Free Wi-Fi in Cebu .
Cebu, that island in the Pacific, is blessed with beautiful beaches and amazing historical sites. If you are familiar with your world history, this is the place where the famous Portuguese explorer, Ferdinand Magellan, met his untimely death. But if you come to Cebu on business or just for a vacation, don’t forget to bring your laptop because there are now plenty of FREE WI-FI zones here.

Where else would you find a pier that looks like a large swimming pool with white sand and crystal clear waters? For the few times I had been to the place, I really wanted to jump off the boat and into cool waters.
Bantayan Island, located at the Northern tip of Cebu, is considered as one of the most attractive tourist haven in the Philippines. It is also the favorite destination of local tourists during the Holy Week. Aside from the lovely beach and the warm smile of the local folks, it boasts of elaborate Lenten procession and the rare Catholic Church exemption from eating meat because of a 200 year old Papal Bull edict.

Sometimes I wish that some free Wi-Fi signal reach our home so that I can this blog at the comfort of our home. Maybe not tonight, but I really hope it will happen sooner.
Max Limpag wrote in his blog (and published in today’s Sunstar) that the Municipality of Argao has a free Wi-Fi access at its plaza. It is made possible through the effort of its municipal government who wants to give tourists and residents access to the world wide web. Argao is located some 66kms south of Cebu and is famous for its beaches (including Argao beach Club), Mt. Lantoy (Maria Cacao legend) and the hometown of retired SC Chief Justice Hilario Davide. It is also my paternal grandmother’s hometown.

Compassion PH-900 started in our church sometime in 1984. Our Church is one of the first projects opened in Cebu. I was barely 10 years old then but I remembered envying the sponsored kids my age for they always have various activities.

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.
