Exercise – it is everyone’s ideal hobby.
Not everyone has the luxury to do it on a daily basis as many factors prevent
us to exercise, and one of them is the appropriate place to break loose with
working out. Heck, even exercising itself is already difficult. Luckily, Cebu
has its very own sports center that houses various facilities that are ready to
cater to everyone’s preference and needs when it comes to burning out those
calories.
A short history lesson, the Cebu City Sports Center, formerly called as Abellana Sports Complex, was a stadium built back in 1994 and served as the main venue for the 1994 Palarong Pambansa. Since its creation, a lot of people, both athletes and non-athletes flock this complex for various physical activities. Thus, these are the top activities that you can do within the center.

most popular attraction within the sports center. When one thinks of jogging
here in Cebu, this is the first place that would come in mind. This 400-meter

It has been said that without the
legal proof of identity, children will be left uncounted and invisible.

proof of existence so to speak.
Whether you’re enrolling for some
units in school, working on your bank requirements, applying for a job, a PSA
is one of the primary identification documents. With its importance, it is
vital for you to have one, handy.
