Magic at Night

Street of Colon, where the magic happens. People from the upland area travel miles away then gather around and sell what they have. I’ve been to Colon many times but never did I stop to look the beauty and wonders behind it. Passing through those streets was never been my plan but after I joined

the walking tour together with my flowsters it made me think twice. The tour was headed by Ka-Bino, filled with information in each location and we, the flowsters followed him all the way. There it flashed right in front of our eyes the magic that only happens at night.

Business was the primary goal of the Cebuanos ever since the history was foretold. Cebuanos compete to different famous personalities residing in the place. There was entertainment, money, bargain, and leisure for everyone. But due to the influx of globalization everything changes. Cebuanos was easily amused to the

trends, lifestyle, and culture from the foreigners and then came to the downfall of the Cebuano culture.

Colon is a well representation of what a Cebu is. Each streets and infrastructures tells a story that a youth must know. Thankfully, I was given an opportunity to learn and witness it myself. I got to the chance to see the famous Teatro Oriente and Vision Theate, famous of its place before, and know the founder of it. Then we came to Carbon Market, where every second counts, the place where bargain and profit took place. The tour ended with a sumptuous meal and sharing of thoughts about the hidden places we discovered.

As a youth, we must help

preserve these heritages by educating the people surrounding from it, give more attention and promote preservation on these rich heritages we discovered.

The tour is must experience to youth individuals who wants some exciting, fun yet full of lessons journey of Cebu. It is a tour where it will turn back time and explore the history of Cebu. Once again, thank you for the experience……
