Louie Nacorda sent in this Old Cebu Trivia about Zulueta Street in Old Cebu:
"Anyway, I found some Old Cebu trivia that could be of interest to us:
Zulueta's old name was Calle Pizzaro;
Mabini was Calle Maria Cristina;
Logarta was Calle Cadiz;
Lopez Jaena was Calle Hernan Cortes,
and the whole area was under Pueblo de Parian.
These info compliments of Don Domingo de Escondrillas, Cebu cartographer,
circa 1873."
