Get to know more about Fort San Pedro, the Philippines’ Oldest Fort

In the bustling city of Cebu, a fortress has stood and continues to stand to the ever-changing time.

Built by the Spaniards under Miguel López de Legazpi, Fort San Pedro is the oldest fort in the Philippines nestled in Cebu City. It is said that the original fort was made out of wood, but as a repel to Muslim raiders, it was then changed to stones. Fort San Pedro is also coined to be the oldest triangular bastion fort in the Philippines.

Fort San Pedro Cebu City (1)
Fort San Pedro
Fort San Pedro Cebu City (2)

The triangular-shaped Fort San Pedro is located inside Plaza Independencia, with two sides facing the sea and the third side fronting the land. Though the date of her construction is uncertain, it is certain, however, that the fort underwent major renovations in the late 19th century to help improve the beauty of Cebu.

Today, Fort San Pedro has a museum that displays the legacies of the Spanish government; documents, paintings, and sculptures. Much more, the spacious lawn of Fort San Pedro is often used for celebrations (with special permits of course) like birthdays, weddings, programs, and parties to name a few.

Though considered to be the oldest, Fort San Pedro, to preserve its history and beauty, is under the care of the Cebu City government and is considered as a historical park under City Executive Order no. 08-87 of February 08, 2008 (Plaza Independencia – Fort San Pedro Interim Policy and advisory Board PIFSIPAB).

Homey Feels at Balai Café Plus in Mandaue City

Without a doubt, cafés have become an integral part of the “going out” culture in this day and age. But no matter how relaxing or comfortable most cafes are, only a handful manage to replicate the feeling of relaxing at home – Balai Plus Café, Cebu’s homey café.

Balai Café Plus humbly sits in a secluded part of AS Fortuna. Despite the fact that this highway is popular for its rush hour, once you’re inside the café, it never fails to make you feel at home.

And what good a home would be if shrubs and herbs are not present? Balai Café Plus is abundantly verdant, as plants are a primary decoration of their store. Guests can dine under the shady trees, complimenting a full stomach with a breeze of fresh air.

Speaking of food, the café offers an all-day brunch menu. Because let’s face it, waking up late on a Sunday morning only to get brunch is one of the homiest feelings, right? Balai Plus Café seeks to mimic that experience by offering a wide variety of pasta, sandwiches and other food that are perfect for brunch.

If you badly need that rest and relaxation after a long week’s work, Balai Plus Café might be the one and ‘home-ly’ thing for that.
