With all the hustling and bustling in the metropolis, it can be hard to find time to appreciate some good art around the corner. Lucky for you, there is a place in northern Cebu for art enthusiasts or anyone who wants to see paintings and art.

Feast your eyes upon the masterpieces of both nature and man in Florentino’s Art Space, established by Florentino “Jun” Impas, where art exists in every angle you’ll see. From the paintings hung inside to the mesmerizing view outside, this place will surely satisfy your craving for the aesthetic!
NATURE AND MAN, ONE IN ART
“Instragrammable” is the best word to describe the insides and out of Florentino’s Art Space, as the place is filled with artistic paintings and surrounded by the stunning landscape of the Balamban hilltops.

Its main feature is an art gallery and Jun’s art studio, where walls and countertops serve as platforms for paintings and sculptures. It also has The Paint Bar, where people can buy art materials and even make art themselves.
Outside the hilltop art place, you can find the grandeur of nature in the mountains and hills, along with Jun’s hillside garden, mini-playground, and orchard.

SATISFYING BOTH SIGHTS AND APPETITES
While the art space may prove to captivate one’s eyes and satisfy cravings for art, guests may get carried away by the experience and find themselves still craving, but for food this time.
Fortunately, Florentino’s Art Space also has a café to indulge the guests in gastronomically delightful meals while they enjoy the sights. The café, called Sunset Café, offers light snacks and meals, ranging from salads to meat dishes.

Our favorite bee just got another recognition and it is International.
The Filipino’s very own Jollibee or “Jobee” as we call it has been named “Best fried chicken chain in America” by Eater, a United States (US) -based food website.
Photo from Eater Official Website
The win wasn’t an easy feat as they tested a total of 16 food brands. That is 16 mouth-watering servings of fried chicken in the US.
To give you an idea of what Jobee was up against here is the full list of that 16 fried chicken restaurants.
McDonald’s
Popeyes
KFC
Burger King
Church’s
Wendy’s
Shake Shack
White Castle
Chick-Fil-A
Fuku
Bojangles
Wingstop
Jollibee
Panda Express
Del Taco
Bonchon
Surely, choosing only one from this list is a headache, as we kind of like one or the other depending on our mood and craving for that day, which must be why the winners were declared in four categories.

And though there were categories, Jollibee’s Chickenjoy had a contest with South Korea’s Bonchon fried chicken on the title of “Best Fried Chicken”.
The power of Jollibee couldn’t be denied as described by the Eater’s deputy editor “satisfyingly light, flavorful in a ‘tastes like chicken’ sort of way, and supremely moist”. She even added that Jollibee’s signature gravy proudly shows its Filipino colors.

This is what every Filipino childhood tastes like and now it can be tasted all over the world. Jollibee will also soon be seen at Times Square in New York City as it is set to open its branch on August 18.

The 50th Anniversary celebration of the leading innovative healthcare facility in Visayas and Mindanao amplified its gratitude to the allies inside and outside of the hospital who took part in cementing the reputation of Cebu Doctors University Hospital through its Anniversary Celebration and Wellness Fair.
To fully present the gratitude for what has been a fruitful year, CebuDoc hosted an appreciation event dubbed ‘Daghang Salamat Cebu’ that scoops out its simple representation, to give thanks.
During the event, several sectors and individuals that have made significant contributions were invited. In particular, they were the members of the media, sponsors, and the public who will also benefit from the services which the Wellness fair offers.
The event also includes an awarding ceremony for the CebuDoc’s Perfect Attendance and Service Awardees. The recipients of these awards were the employees of the hospital who are recognized for their undeniable dedication reflected in their respective job performances.
“It is our way of showing how much we value each employee in the hospital. It is their hard work that branded CebuDoc as the Most Outstanding Hospital-Level III in the country two times in a row, that is something we are proud of, and I give credit to them,”
DOCTOR POTENCIANO LARRAZABAL III, CHAIRMAN AND PRESIDENT OF CEBUDOC GROUP SAID.
Month-Long Anniversary Celebration
The month-long anniversary celebration served its purpose of bringing healthcare to the community that began with an exhibit in CebuDoc Medical Arts Building 1 and Robinsons Galleria, respectively. The kick-off was formally opened last August 8, 2022, with the exhibit which will be set forth until the end of this month.
CebuDoc then hosted a partner’s appreciation meeting that recognizes the strong alliance with the various private sectors and HMOs who substantiated the accessible healthcare services to the community.
The Partner’s Appreciation Meeting last August 12, 2022, also included an awarding ceremony to the deserving outstanding partners and their Most Valuable Liaison Officers in the seven member hospitals of CebuDoc Group.
To Doctor Larrazabal III, these events are just a piece of the CebuDoc Group’s values proportioned as a compassionate healthcare provider.
Wellness Fair
Doctor Larrazabal III propounded that it has been his father’s foresight that the CebuDoc Group will be an institution that serves the Cebuano with quality and innovative healthcare. This year’s anniversary celebration will not be completed without going back to this mission that will be channeled through a Wellness Fair.
This year CebuDoc offers the following services;
Free Check-up for Kids and Adults
Free Eye Check-Up
Free Reading glasses
Free Scoliosis Screening
Free Capillary Blood Sugar, Blood Typing, and Fasting Blood Sugar
Free BP Check
Free Nutrition Counseling
Free Medicines and Vitamins
Free Cholesterol Check
Free Zumba Session
Aside from these services, the hospital’s Human Resource Department will be holding job recruitment for those who desire to share the same values with the CebuDoc Group employees.
Bringing Healthcare to the Community
It has been 50 years of Improving Lives with Cebu Doctors University Hospital, and Doctor Larrazabal is elated to continue what has been started with the sole purpose of bringing healthcare to the community.
“The fact that I am a proactive person makes me so excited about the future. I am excited for what’s ahead of CebuDoc for the next 50 years,”
THE CHAIRMAN DECLARED.
He added that the 50 years will be sustained through expansions as the institution desires to remarkably touch the hearts of many with valuable patient care that everyone deserves.
“We are seeing a future which will probably include a charity hospital subsidized by our other hospitals because we want a future that not only treats patients who can afford, but also those who cannot,”
HE SAID.
“It has been an honor to share with you, the public, CebuDoc’s progressive ride of 50 years, may you remain to be with us to continue this long drive,”

Once you’re done enjoying the beach, you can then proceed to rest in your villa surrounded by luscious trees and greeneries. You can also arrange for in-house massages, board games, as well as hearty meals inside.
The entire villa has a main house and a guest house, but you can opt to rent the main house alone. The rooms in the villa are all architecturally and interiorly designed to maximize the allure of the environment. Once you’re there, you would not want to go home.
