7Dec2022 - crlazlo meanderings 2 is now 2.1 - I will continue to use it as a preview/workspace for my FB posts, but I will also start organizing the many photos from my retirement years, and also start a journal/memories thing. That's the plan anyway.

Heritage of Cebu Monument, #2:
I usually walk around the monument several times when I'm taking photos. It was made by Filipino sculptor Eduardo Castrillo and architects Heradio Español and Ildefonso Santos.
"The Parian District where the Heritage of Cebu Monument stands was home to elite and respected Cebuano families during the Spanish period. The word "parian" originated from the word "pari-pari" which means to barter or trade. The place is also said to be the center of trade between the locals, Chinese, and Spanish mestizos. Other than that, it was also used for extravagant events for the wealthy Chinese merchants."
ps - I also liked another sculpture when I was walking home - the large, balloon "Bounty Fresh" chicken on the top of a building.
