a glimpse
History is written by the victors – Winston Churchill
If you want to learn more about the history of Cebu or the “discovery” of the Philippines by Ferdinand Magellan (as claimed by then conquistadores), do visit the 16th century church, Basilica del Sto. Nino, look up and you’ll see a glimpse of the history on its painted ceiling.
As for my opinion on Magellan’s “discovery” of the Philippines, I think we should discuss this personally. I believe that there are misinterpretations in the history of the Philippines. period. I stop here because I don’t have the authority to speak for it.

Hahaha! I’d love to get into a discussion with you about the islands’ “discovery.” Let’s just say that it’s a very Euro-centric statement. Churchill is correct, after all.
I’d still love to see the church though.
hahaha! Don’t get me started! Please come visit Cebu!
