Gabii sa Kabilin

The Poster

No one probably thought another spontaneous laag was brewing last Friday. It was a lonely day, most people were not around. People were busy fixing bugs. There was no excitement in the air until 5PM when Migo mentioned the Gabii Sa Kabilin event. We heard about it at a local station on our way home. I remembered myself saying  that we should really attend.

After ranting to Migo why he just reminded me that time, I then relayed the information to my team and some friends, asked if they'd like to come. It was really just a so-so invite. I never thought they would really come at such a short notice.

There were 11 participating museums as seen in the poster. We really thought we could visit all of them. In the end we only visited 5. But the experience was worth a thousand memories. It was my first time to visit Cebu Museums, and 2 of my companions also. I really had fun, and it seems they were also.

Colon Street. We hesitated at first thinking someone would jail us by stepping unto the platform. Kim and Cha were not bold enough to join us. :D

Parian Monument. The Gold Stone says "Heritage of Cebu"

Photo booth with props at Parian. Totally FREE!

Guys in action!

First Stop: Yap - Sandiego Ancestral Home. They got lots of ancient utensils. The garden was nice. The house was awesome. It's quite small though compared to the other museums we've been into.

Inside!

Just a part of the garden!

2nd Stop: Casa Gorordo. Pictures are not allowed here. But we still did. Haha! This museum was of grandeur. Big rooms, canopy beds, big dinning, prayer room,azotea,weird bathroom. Just some of the things you can see in there. They also have genuine copy of Noli Tangeri and El Fili, too bad opening is not allowed.

Just below the Azotea stairs. We're not aloud to visit the Azotea. VIPs were in there.

The Well outside. Yap - San Diego had well also.

3rd Stop: Museo Sugbo. From Parian, you can walk to Yap - San Diego Ancestral Home and Casa Gorordo. To get here, we rode a bus from the corner of Casa Gorordo. Despite the rain, we still managed to have our picture taken.

Museo sugbo is rich in documents. If you are someone who hungered for an ultimate Cebu History, visit here. The museum is huge and have lots of rooms that display different things.

4th Stop: Fort San Pedro. We rode the bus again to reach here.

Feeling models? Hehe! The museum things was forgotten a bit here. We were busy taking pictures of the views. This was my first time to visit here at night.

Ahmmmm!

Shame Pose. People were stopping on Migo's back waiting for us to finish this picture. Waaaaaaaa!

We missed the Fire Dance :(( The schedule was 11. I wonder why they started it early.

John Jay's choreographed pose.

The Kalesa Ride!

Museum. Bus. Kalesa Ride. Our PHP 150 ticket was really well enjoyed. This kalesa ride was supposed to take us to Cathedral Museum, unfortunately the wheel whined before we reached our destination. We just walked from DFA unto Cathedral. Tsk!

5th Stop: Cathedral Museum. Saint statues are abundant here. (also headless priest! Scary!)

The garden was nice. They accept wedding or event reservations, BTW!

Well picture again.

Home. Sweet. Home

We paid PHP 150 for that. And I say,  it was cheap for such a great experience. On normal days, the common entrance for museums are between PHP 30-50. We had 5. Do mathematics please.

With that, my desire to pursue that heritage city tour I planned with Corie and Joey magnified. I should already schedule it.

Join us...next time!
