Banilad Cebu City
Much has changed since i first set foot here in 1990 as a fifteen year old USC-TC freshman. I lived in a boarding house just about a hundred meters away from University of San Carlos Talamban Campus.
Blessed kids of today, they have Jollibee now. In our time in the 90s was Julie’s B (bakeshop):
Competing against Jollibee is this carenderia at the front. This one is owned by Nong Cards. I used to eat here almost everyday:

Unahan pa sa Jollibee. Atbang sa Sto. Nino Village:

Same area above:

Further closer to Dona Rita Village is this restaurant “Cheaverz.”

Cheaverz Fried and Grill Banilad Talamban branch:

Dona Rita Village and next to it is Rosedale:

Rosedale and St. Cecilia’s Dormitory:

Rosedale commercial building:

Just a few meters ahead is USC-TC, my alma mater! Proud of this school. One of the best in the Philippines.
One of my best moments as a teenager was spent here. Chasing girls was one. Hahaha..
University of San Carlos-Technological Center (Talamban Campus)

Hi. I just want to ask if there are near buildings (2 story I think) that have a bakery on the ground floor. It is said that it is in Banilad Cebu near USC.
Thanks.

It could be the Rosedale building or St. Cecilia’s dorm. Or maybe the one at the front of USC-TC. Julie’s Bakeshop is there.

Pwede ba lalake sa St. Cecilia’s Dormitory? I really need to know. Thanks.

Ed, babae lang sa St. Cecilia’s. Sa USC na dorm, both male and female.

oh But hindi ako papasok sa USC. Are there more dorms sa Cebu na maganda? or even boarding house na maayos?
August 8th, 2009 at 8:56 pm
There are good boarding houses close to USC-TC. Just choose the one with a security guard. In my time there during the 90s, boarding houses with no guards were burglarized a number of times over.

ladykristinn – It’s just along the main Banilad road.

TC should have its separate page. The campus is quite nostalgic to me. We strived so hard just to make it to ROTC every morning on Sundays.

Hi. Are there any men’s dorm near USC-TC? i’m studying there in June na and I’m having a hard time looking for a dorm or a decent boarding house. Thanks in advance!

The best and effective thing to do is look around near USC-TC. Last i was there was in 2003, so my information about boarding houses and dorms are not that updated.
