Caesar’s Foodland used to be the most popular grocery store in this side of Cebu City during the 1990s. But after Gaisano Country Mall was built, and a few other malls like Banilad Town Center and even Ayala Center Cebu, it forced to close shop.
But there are rumors circulating that Foodland would reopen. Let’s wait and see.
Burlogi and Wealthbank.
This is a two year old video of Rizal Street, in Ibabao, Mandaue City. It takes forever uploading videos in Youtube that’s I seldom post videos. There are still a lot of videos in my drive. I need more patience hehe.
This video was shot early in the morning.
Rizal street is near Jollibee, Mandaue City Hall and the church.
Lami ang tapsilog sa Silogan ni Gian.
Silogan ni Gian is close to where I live and to University of San Carlos in Talamban.
The place is also shared with other stalls offering similar food, and drink, some sell burgers.
This was about 7:30 in the morning.
The silog meal price starts at P25.00. The most expensive is calderitasilog which costs P43.00.
I ordered chicksilog which costs P32.00, I also added Payless hot pancit canton. Yummy!
Shot from the table where I ate my breakfast. That is the gate of USC-TC.
So the street B. Rodriguez was named after Buenaventura Rodriguez?
According to Cebuano Studies Center:
Buenaventura Rodriguez, a native of Cebu, was a renowned playwright, journalist, stage actor and a distinguished politician.
He was one of the more recognized dramatists in the Sugbuhanon dialect. He wrote the play, El Muñeco Roto which was performed by the Compañia de Zarzuela Española in 1915. A noted writer and politician from Cebu, Manuel Briones, believed that another play by Rodriguez entitled El Mal se Aprende was a spiritual event.
In 1937, Buenaventura Rodriguez was elected as governer of Cebu.
In 1940, his play La Adjusta Leja de la Vaguada was made into movie.
He was also recipient of the Premio Zobel in 1924 for his novel La Pugna.
An unusual sight or event happened in my beloved Cebu last February 7.
An earthquake occurred at 11:45 in the morning and at 8:30 in the evening.
Office workers were in panic and went out of their offices. A good excuse for not working, haha.
I was out with my friends, we were about to eat lunch when the shaking happened.
No reported death or major structure damage in Cebu.
Below is in Pasil.
Don Gil Garcia is located just beside and back of Provincial Cebu Capitol building.
I was looking for any information about Don Gil Garcia on the internet, but there is none. I think I should buy a book that solely talks about Cebu City and its people.
The street sign of Don Gil Garcia Street.
Drivers and passers by, enjoying their share of street food.
At the mouth of Don Gil Garcia St., on my right is the gate of Capitol.
Don Gil Garcia is mainly a residential area.
Jeepneys and taxis park here, maybe because it’s not so crowded, and the presence of side-walk vendors.
This residence was probably built during the 1970s.
I stopped right here, I’m hesitant to shoot since it’s mostly residential area.

I support the No to Flyovers in Cebu City.
It would not actually solve the traffic problem, it will make it worse.
The more we put flyovers, the number of vehicles will increase, pollutions does too, it will further add traffic congestion.
Credits to Archt. Gerard Ocampo for the good shots.
The less vehicles, the more breathable Cebu is.
Wow, 600 million just for two flyovers.
Bike lanes and mass transit is a good idea.
Flyovers is more negative and positive.
Please join the call and support to fight against building new flyovers.
Bus Rapid Transit for Cebu, yeah baby. Diri na lang na ang 600 million.
Additional good alternative projects for the benefit of Cebu and Cebuanos.
San Jose Bakeshop should be in my top three personal bakeshop list. I like their tasty bread.
After a tiring photowalk around Guadalupe, I stopped by for a quick snack, and was blessed San Jose Bakeshop was just nearby.
San Jose Bakeshop facade in Guadalupe, near Provincial Capitol.
The bread display.
My favourite bread, brown and a bit hard on the outside, and of course Sparkle!
Cars going to Guadalupe proper or Banawa. On the left is the fence of Provincial Capitol.
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.

Video of Gaisano Capital South caught on fire.
The fire started around 1am, and probably last about 24 hours, but 18 hours according to the news.
Unknown to most Cebuanos, Gaisano South is about 8 storeys in height. So this probably made it difficult for firefighters to resolve.
I used work here in year 2000.
