  Colon Street Colon Street is often called the oldest national road in the Philippines as it was built in 1565 during the Spanish colonial period. It got its name from Cristobal Colon, who is more widely known as Christopher Columbus. Under the leadership of Miguel Lopez de Legaspi, the street was developed and became the center of commercialization in Cebu. Colon was where the first few business establishments like movie houses, fashion shops, and offices were built in Cebu. It was also where social events were mainly held. Universities were built near Colon Street as well, such as the University of San Carlos, the University of Cebu, and the University of San Jose-Recoletos. The charm of Colon was never lost and forgotten when it comes to bargain shopping and quality service. It has now become the go-to place for shoppers who are in search of good value for money. Shops along Colon Street are now known for quality goods sold at cheap prices like jewelry and ready-to-wear clothes

  This is the barangay "that never sleeps". The numerous open-air tiendas where people converge to drink, talk and sing in merriment, do not close until early dawn. By the time these people go to sleep, fishermen or fishertraders start preparing to go out to the seas or to the market. Jose Raymond Reyes described Pasil in his write-up " The Fishy Business of Pasil" At two in the morning, Pasil begins to teem with people. Large tin tubs of fish are the orders of the day for the eager customer. The place begins to smell of sea and sweat. But for the fish vendors, it's just another early morning at the market. Pasil's market's early beginnings were traced to a few "sakayans" or outrigger boats trading fish along the shore behind Plaza Gines. The area was reclaimed before the war and the market was erected... Pasil has become a byword, from the kitchens of the filthy rich to sidewalk grills of food stalls. According to Manuel C. Enriquez, C

  F E R D I N A N D   M A G E L L A N Ferdinand Magellan (1480 – 27 April 1521) was a Portuguese explorer who organized the Spanish expedition to the East Indies from 1519 to 1522, resulting in the first circumnavigation of the Earth, completed by Juan Sebastián Elcano. Born into a Portuguese noble family in around 1480, Magellan became a skilled sailor and naval officer and was eventually selected by King Charles I of Spain to search for a westward route to the Maluku Islands (the "Spice Islands"). Commanding a fleet of five vessels, he headed south through the Atlantic Ocean to Patagonia, passing through the Strait of Magellan into a body of water he named the "peaceful sea" (the modern Pacific Ocean). Despite a series of storms and mutinies, the expedition reached the Spice Islands in 1521 and returned home via the Indian Ocean to complete the first circuit of the globe. Magellan did not complete the entire voyage, as he was killed during the Battle of Mactan

  Lapulapu or Lapu-Lapu   (1491–1542), whose name was first recorded as Çilapulapu, was a datu (chief) of Mactan in the Visayas in the Philippines. He is best known for the Battle of Mactan that happened at dawn on April 27, 1521, where he and his warriors defeated the Spanish forces led by Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan and his native allies Rajah Humabon and Datu Zula. Magellan's death ended his voyage of circumnavigation and delayed the Spanish occupation of the islands by over forty years until the expedition of Miguel López de Legazpi in 1564. Legazpi continued the expeditions of Magellan, leading to the colonization of the Philippines for 333 years. Modern Philippine society regards him as the first Filipino hero because of his resistance to imperial Spanish colonization. Monuments of Lapulapu have been built all over the Philippines to honor Lapulapu's bravery against the Spaniards. The Philippine National Police and the Bureau of Fire Protection use his image
