This is the last set of the pictures I took in the Historic district of Cebu, Philippines

Here you see Magellan's Cross in the kiosk, a charming little park (Senior Citizen's park), a department store, the historic building that used to be the Presidential house in Cebu (now condemned because of a strong earthquake two years ago), the Fort San Pedro, and some random shots of people, a fruit cart, and a fighting cock.

Enjoy the pictures!
