Learning Filipino History in CEBU! Magellan's Cross & Fort San Pedro!

I head over to Fort San Pedro and Magellan's Cross in Cebu! At these places, I learn loads about Filipino history! Magellan's Cross symbolizes the start of Christianity in the Philippines, and Fort San Pedro was a Spanish military base.

FUN FACTS 1ST the world's famous chef, anthony bourdain (who died last year), had promoted pork lechon to the world surprisingly, he didn't promote any other type of lechon, he only promoted the zubuchon lechon according to anecdote, the very first pork lechon cooked by zubuchon were really tasty. the pigs were fed with chicos (a sweet fruit that's now becoming a rarity) before they're being roasted to golden brown perfection the owner of zubochon is an excellent writer & a good friend of bourdain. lately, he had ventured into italian cuisine named pigafetta restaurant (in axis / vibo place) pigafetta is the famous italian writer who documented the travels & travails of ferdinand magellan (pronounced muh" + "GEL" + "uhn" or məgɛ́lən) 2ND the original wooden cross planted by magellan in the summer of 1521 was believed to have been encased in that wooden replica. however, some people say the original wood had long been gone cebu and the rest of the world will be celebrating the 500 year celebration of magellan & his men (2 years from now), who were the first to circumnavigate the world they are now building (or have already built) a replica of the carracks (smaller than a 16th century spanish galleon ship) used by magellan and his men during their historical journey (they had proven that the world is round or circular) these carracks will follow the path of magellan's trailblazing adventures and misadventures magellan's legacy to cebu & the philippines was the conversion of the original cebuano inhabitants from hinduism / buddhism / paganism to christianity yes, lapulapu (king / datu of mactan) and humabon (king / datu of sugbu or cebu) were hindi or buddhist, not muslim / islamic

BTW Kell, kangkong is also the vegetable that we used to feed our pigs as their snacks. lol im not kidding. Spinach is the best equivalent of kangkong in the US. You''ve uttered the best description ever of Cebu's historic Fort of San Pedro and Magellan's Cross. No wonder this is your coolest vblog ever.

[@lloydchristianbalungcas7159]

Hello! Welcome to cebu! How's your day? Take care for your travel...

[@lionhearted1969]

@Flying Kell....So you already have visited two of the oldest structures and landmarks in the country in this video. You should visit next the oldest church and mother of all churches in the Philippines - Basilica Minore del Sto. Niño, just a few steps from Magellan's Cross. Then head further west to Colon St. - the country's oldest street. Then one block further to the west lies the main campus of the oldest school in the country - the University of San Carlos (USC). A few minutes walk to the north of Colon St. is where you can find the oldest residential stone house in the country - the Yap Sandiego Ancestral House, built in early 17th century. Nearby, is another centuries-old house still standing, built since early 18th century. A few steps to the south of the oldest house lies the 'Cebu Heritage Monument' an ensemble of Cebu's historical events from it's discovery by Magellan until its independence in 1898. Then walk down eastward to Cebu City Cathedral, the second oldest church in the Philippines.

Adobong kangkong actually is onlt supposed to be a side dish. Just like having mash potatoes on your plate then steak and buttered veggies as side dish. If you order adobong kanglong only with rice in a resto, you'd be looked down as "having no budget" hehe..however if you do that in a carinderia, it's totally fine.

[@avocadojuice267]

Amazing blue sky 😀

[@joyorquillas8541]

Keep hydrated Kell and enjoy cebu..God bless

[@lionhearted1969]

Cebu used to be called Zubu or Sugbo before the Spanish came. Thus the name Zubuchon, a portmanteau of Zubu and lechon. Cebu is the oldest city and Spanish settlement in the Philippines. Thus you can find here the oldest churches, fort, street, religious elic, school (USC), etc.
