On our way to Cebu and we stop over in Carcar, Cebu to meet and greet Kuya Ganing and to have some pork chicharon on our way back. We returned in Cebu to assist in the baptimal of our niece. The rites took place in St. Francis Xavier Chapel and the reception in Casino EspaƱol de Cebu. We ate at the famous grilling place in Cebu, the New Larsian, where different kind of grilled food (Pork BBQ, isaw-chicken intestine, necklace-chicken neck, betamax-pig's blood, walkman-pigs ear, squid, fish, seashells and a lot more) are served with their famous puso (steamed rice wrap on coconut leaves). The place is smoookiiing. Then we went to Taps, a place that is overlooking the city. Cebu is just like Manila, the city busy street, traffic and reckles driver without MMDA.

I notice the vending machines in Cebu, the ATM (Automatic Tubig Machine). I remember this machine was one of the finalist or candidates in the National Inventors Week last 2006. Now it is a famous water refiling station in the metropolis.

On our way to Palompon, Leyte we took the route to the north of Cebu to Pulambato wharf in Bago.We drop off my youner sister at the airport in Lapu-lapu island for her flight back to Manila, her class have already started. Pulambato warf was part of the Nautical Highway. It was inagurated on April 28, 2008. During the three hour voyage the sea was very calm. We arrived in palompon safely at 12:00 noon.
