one of the most powerful landmark in Cebu City will definitely be its provincial capitol. located at the tip of the stretch of the Osmena boulevard along Escario street. it was built in 1937 as a symbol of Cebu's growth as a province.
inside the capitol, you will see paintings that depicts Cebu's history. Cebu city being the oldest city in the Philippines was first reigned by rajahs and tribal rulers. now the province is headed by Governor Gwendolyn Garcia. she is one of the most influential person and the first woman governor of Cebu.
the capitol stands both as a landmark and a powerful structure for the Cebuanos. on one side you will see a statue of Lapu-Lapu, the Philippines' first national hero.

Magnificent shots of the beautiful Capitol.
welcome back dong!! more travel pics please!
nice photos dong. and thanks for the kind words.
I lived in Cebu for six months and I spent a lot of time in front of the capitol, indeed it was a beauty.
i like how you make your angles. you have the hands for photography, not just taking pictures.
carver, thanks! yes it is really beautiful.
hi arlene, thanks! sure. just keep in touch.
lad, thank you very much. i appreciate that! did you work there or just a short stay?
ganda talaga ng mga kuha mo... ganda ng Cebu... sana marating ko din yan... i know.. someday! :)8->
ganda nga! ganyan din ba kaganda pag daytime? hehe. makapagpost nga din ng capitol pics. :)
Welcome back home! I enjoyed the history lesson and new pics, and look forward seeing more.
many many years ago, when one enters the cebu capitol, one is aghast at the state of chaos inside, a far cry from the beautiful exterior. now, i'm not sure if it is still the case as i haven't been inside since then. even if i'm from this province :-)
hi lalaine, makakarating ka din. it's just an hour flight from manila. dami din namang promos sa airfare kaya madali lang itong puntahan. you just need to set your schedule ahead. it's a beautiful island. it offers so many things.
ely, yes. maganda din sya sa umaga. i have photos of the capitol during daytime. i can send it to you if you give me your email.
hi sandy, it's nice to know that you like it. just keep in touch for more photos of this city.
estan, i visited it on a sunday and surely there was no chaos and the second time i visited it was when i took this photo. so i never saw it during a busy day. you can really be proud of your city. ganda kasi.
these are really beautiful and clear night shots!! =)
ei dom, as arlene requested, so will i. travel pics please :-)
this is a really nice building! very nice!
well-developed na talaga ang cebu. pwede magtanong dom? bakit mas prefer mo magkuha ng pics at night?
ganda ng pagkakakuha ah..=)
hi rebecca, thanks!
oggie, sure. in the coming days. watch out for the island that i visited.

redlan, thanks! because the light effects creates an interesting mood. but i also feature day shots. i just dedicated the month of may for nightscapes. but maybe i'll bring back nightscape by mid june.
hi doc, maraming salamat. kahit anong angle naman maganda kasi maganda talaga ang building.
wow.. parang whitehouse.. lalong nadagdagan desire makagala ng Cebu!
I did some photo shoots, business meetings at nag crash course din ako sa Univ. of San Carlos.
Anong ginawa mo sa Cebu? Meron akong business dun :) Sana napakain man lang kita (kahit na wala ako dun) haha

I never thought the Capitol building in Cebu is a good subject to shoot until I saw these pics. Galing!
