Gorio’s Bakery: A new way to enjoy bread

No Filipino tongue wouldn’t be familiar with the taste of pandesal or ensaymada.

Their tastes have been etched into every Filipino’s childhood with parents serving warm, soft batches bought from the bakery on the dining table every morning paired with preferred warm beverages.

Gorio’s Bakery has made it their mission to allow every Filipino to experience those warm and filling mornings through their bread with a bakery where even those working far from home will have a space to enjoy these small fluffs of joy. It all started with a vision of the owner’s grandfather wherein people from different places would be able to just sit down and enjoy eating the bread together.

Inspired by his grandfather’s bakery in Libaong, the owner decided to create his own in a spot in Bogo City where there was no bakery. The design of their bakery isn’t your typical bread shop where people just buy but a place that also encourages people to just stay and eat.

A massive white container van stands at the center of their area adorned with plants and other decorations that give it a modern look and it houses the bakery inside of it. The chairs and tables are arranged neatly on the pebbled ground which gives the place a diner look.

They even have a second floor on top of the container to accommodate a greater number of people. There are also lightings and other fixtures installed that create a relaxing vibe especially when night time comes.

Their bakery sells classic Filipino favorites such as Choco Roll, Fig Pie, Ensaymonggo – a variation of Ensaymada, Pan de Coco, and the all-time favorite Pan de Sal. They also sell other bread that a typical bakery would sell.

Gorio’s Bakery also plans to expand in places where bakeries aren’t present to give other Filipino families access to these Filipino baking delights.

Promenade and Heritage Park: Highlighting Talisay City’s History and Culture

The people of Talisay City will soon witness the birth of a hub within the city that will boost its tourism, provide livelihood opportunities to Talisaynons, and will highlight the city’s contribution to the country’s rich history.

The Promenade and Heritage Park that will soon rise in Poblacion, Talisay City is deemed to become a world-class tourist destination in town. October last year when the Talisay Heritage Park was inaugurated, and construction of the phase 1 is currently on-going.

The total cost of the project is pegged at P100 million. According to Talisay City Mayor Gerald Anthony Gullas, there’s already P24 million allotted for the project with P12M of it coming from Cebu Provincial Office.

This project is considered as one of the major projects of the current administration and is aimed to tap the full potentials of tourism in the city. Talisay City is already recognized by tourists all around the Philippines as a town where the best-tasting lechons can be found, aside from Carcar.

Phase 1 includes the construction of a food court, improvements of the existing plaza and a boardwalk that would lead to the Liberation Park. Boardwalks have become a fast-rising attraction in coastal towns as these places allow visitors to take a leisurely walk and take Instagram-worthy photos while feeling the cold sea breeze.

Meanwhile, the construction of the multi-purpose building still in Brgy. Poblacion, Talisay is also currently on-going with an estimated budget of P12-million and is expected to be completed July 2021.

TALISAY CITY: A LIVING TESTIMONY OF THE WORLD WAR II

For those who are curious, Talisay City formed a great part of the Philippine history during the World War 2. It served as the center of guerilla intelligence operations during this war.

The Talisay landing of American soldiers on March 1945 was preceded by a naval bombardment of the beaches along Tangke, Talisay to soften up Japanese positions, eventually clearing the island of enemy forces and neutralizing the Japanese.

To commemorate this historic victory, seven larger-than-life statues were built in the now called Liberation Park in Poblacion, Talisay City. It is to honor the Filipino and American soldiers who gave their lives to free Cebu from the Japanese Army. Accordingly, each statue costs a whopping P150,000. Later, the park was declared as a national historical shrine since it marks the landing of American forces in Cebu.

TALISAY CITY NOW

Talisay City is now an urbanized city but much of its areas are still doing farming and related industry as a means of livelihood. There are also those who do furniture, metal craft and garment manufacturing. Year 2000 when it was converted from being a municipality to a city.

Much of the commerce in this town takes place in Tabunok area, where you can see several public markets, commercial establishments, and strip malls.

Talisay City aims to be a must-visit tourist destination soon and the construction of the promenade and heritage park is a step closer to the realization of this goal.
