Holy Week In Cebu

Holy Week, Serious In Cebu

Holy Week is taken seriously through out the Philippines. Most of my experience with it has been limited to Cebu. Last year I went up a mountain to witness three men being hung on a cross. In many cases, the men are actually hammered to the cross using nails. Last year in Cebu City they forgot the local anesthesia but the man went through with it anyway. Jessie has an uncle that did it for many years.

Jessie went to Cebu City on Sunday thinking it would be an easier trip than what it normally is but there was much more traffic. It seems lots off people are in Cebu to observe the holiest of weeks. I read a report that the bus and shipping terminals were packed with people on Friday as people prepared to leave. That would back up what Jessie found in Cebu City. She also saw three minor wrecks on her way there. Amazingly in this crazy traffic, well what looks like crazy traffic to me, there are rarely wrecks.

Virgin Beach Resort Barrio Fiesta | Bikini Contest

Fiesta, Friends, Bikini’s and a Beach in Cebu

About 15 miles north of Bogo City is a secret known as Virgin Beach Resort Cebu (VBR). Not that the management wants it to be a secret but it is more of one than he wishes I think.

The owner, known as Uncle Ron is an American but has a deep understand of the lifestyle of the Cebuano. Deeper than mine, I’m getting there but he’s been doing for a few more years than I have. He definitely has that laid back feeling about him, most often found in the older pinoy (male Filipino). I’m starting to get that more laid back approach to life as well though I don’t know if it yet shows on me.
