Cebu Heritage Site

Going back the street where Yap-SanDiego house is the Cebu Heritage site. It's a sculpture showing the history of Cebu from the arrival of the spaniards to Christianity. It also shows some famous Cebuanos.

While we're here, there's another group of tourists visiting the place and they have their own tour guide. I've pretty much listened to the guy in Barong with a hat speaking on his portable PA strap on his belt. One thing that surprise me was when he pointed to a lady in the sculpture who is Josephine Bracken. That coaught my attention as to why she was there and the tour guide pointed out that after Rizal's death, Josephine went to marry a cebuano businessman and she in turn worked as an English tutor to no other than the 4th President of the Philippines, Sergio Osmena. Another famous cebuano.
