The Wineshop

Wineshop Cebu

I’m not really a wine drinker, but I passed by this wine shop located along Gorordo Avenue.

I have not entered inside this establishment yet. It looks intimidating, but hopefully I experience this place in the near future.

The Wineshop sells imported wines, and is also a restaurant that offers breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Reviews I read online is mixed, some like Wineshop, and a few don’t.

Address: Gorordo Avenue, near Golden Peak Hotel.

Sotero Cabahug

Sotero Cabahug Cebu

I got this photo of Sotero Cabahug from a painting hanged on the wall of Cebu Capitol Building in Osmena Boulevard.

Son of a farmer, he was born on April 22, 1891 in Mandaue City, Cebu.

For his collegiate education he went to the then Colegio Seminario de San Carlos in Cebu City and San Juan de Letran College and University of Santo Tomas in Manila.

Sotero Cabahug served as Cebu Governor from 1934 to 1937. He also held a number of positions in Mandaue City, Cebu and nationally. In Cebu he was a Deputy Provincial Fiscal (1918–1919), Municipal Councilor (1920–1925), Acting Municipal President (1928–1931), Representative, 2nd District of Cebu (1931–1934).

He became National Defense Secretary (1954- 1956) under the regime of Carlos P. Garcia.

Cebu City Should Not Vie to be the Capital of the Philippines

I’ve heard in the past from Cebuano politicians pushing Cebu City as the next capital of the Philippines, replacing Manila.

I disagree with that idea.

If I base it from Manila’s present condition, it does not look good. Yes, economically, Manila is up there in the clouds.

Manila is over-populated, crime rates shooting up, congested traffic. It’s taking the blame for the whole country’s troubles.

So, Cebu should stay the same, but move up economically and values.
