Cebuanos are religious people. You can see this with the number of churches in the island. In addition, each town celebrates a festival in honor of their patron saint. One of the towns that have been at the forefront of the Christianization of the island is the town of Dumanjug, and the main church of the town is St. Francis of Assisi Parish Church.

History of the Town

The Municipality of Dumanjug is best known for its native delicacy, the bisnok. The town was once under the supervision of the Barili Parish, which is one of the older towns of Cebu. While a good number of towns became municipalities before they became parishes, Dumanjug was established as a parish before it became a municipality. The parish was established in 1854 before the place became a municipality in 1855. 

St. Francis of Assisi Parish Church 

St. Francis of Assisi Parish Church is the center of the faith of the people of Dumanjug. Construction of the church started in 1854, when the Dumanjug Mission Post was made into a parish. While Spanish Bishop Romualdo Jimeno, O. P commissioned the work, it was undertaken by Rev. Fr. Matias Cabrera, a pioneering Filipino secular priest, and Doroteo Godinez. It should be noted that the church is one of the few church structures in the country that was designed, accomplished, managed, and completed by the natives.  The church was completed in 1864 as shown on the entrance of the church itself.

​The materials used for the church were limestone, sea coral stones, and a native black wood called the Balayong, which was easily procured in the area at that time. The church celebrated its 150th founding anniversary in 2004.

Design

The bell tower of St. Francis of Assisi Parish Church has a dodecagonal or has twelve sides. This was a typical design of many colonial churches. Even though it had three stories, the ceilings were rather high. It also looks tall due to its engaged pilasters and the elevated façade is broken only by a double pediment. It is also one of the most beautifully-designed churches in the western part of Cebu. The church is one of the attractions of the town due to its heritage and historical significance.

Earthquake

St. Francis of Assisi Parish Church was one of the churches that sustained damage following the 8.9 magnitude earthquake that shook Cebu and other islands in the Visayas in 2013. The church was later rehabilitated with the help of the National Historical Commission of the Philippines or NHCP.

Cebu was recognized as the fifth best island in the world in the Reader’s Choice Awards of Conde Nast Traveller magazine for 2016. This does not come as a surprise to residents and visitors of the island since Cebu has a number of the best beaches in the world.

We came up with a short list of some beaches in Cebu basing on a number of lists of the best beaches in the island.

Hidden Beach

Hidden Beach is a relatively-undeveloped beach located in the town of Aloguinsan. The natural white sand of the beach is one of the attractions of the place. While there are some bamboo tables, benches and cottages in the area, the beach front is free of these structures. You may see a good amount of marine life at the beach, including starfish, hermit crabs, and sea urchins, among others. 

​It is called Hidden Beach since it is “hidden” from the main road by trees. Since the area has little commercial activity, you should not expect accommodations typically offered by resorts close to the city. You can get to the Hidden Beach by getting on a bus bound for Toledo City where you will have to ride a jeepney headed for the town of Aloguinsan. From Aloguinsan proper, you can ride a motorcycle for hire to take you to the Hidden Beach.

Hermit’s Cove

Aside from the Hidden Beach, Aloguinsan is also home to another hidden paradise, Hermit’s Cove. Hermit’s Cove also has a white sand beach similar to the Hidden Beach. The beach is managed by the local government in cooperation with the Department of Tourism. Getting to the beach itself can be an adventure since the road is a not yet paved. Once you reach the place, you have to go down stairs carved out of the rock. 

While there are bamboo open cottages for rent, the beach has no facilities for overnight stays. Hermit’s Cove was supposedly the home of a hermit named Tabogon. In fact, the name of the barangay where Hermit’s Cove is located is called Kantabogon, which comes the Cebuano phrase “kang Tabogon” or Tagobon’s place. It is important for you to remember to pass by The Farmhouse to register and pay for the entrance fee before going to Hermit’s Cove.

Tingko Beach 

Tingko Beach is a hidden paradise located in the southern town of Alcoy. The clear blue waters of the beach entice both residents and visitors of the town. The white sand beach itself is nearly two kilometers long, and is lined with limestone cliffs and coconut trees. 

​You will have a number of options if you are planning to stay the night at Tingko Beach. You can choose from the resorts in the area or you can opt to pitch a tent at the beach itself for a minimal fee. Getting to Tingko Beach is as easy as riding a bus bound for Alcoy and telling the driver or conductor to let you off at the beach. 

Maravilla Beach

Hidden beaches in Cebu are not limited to the south since the northwestern part of Cebu also has its own hidden paradise, Maravilla Beach. Maravilla Beach is a public beach that has attracted the attention of local and foreign tourists. The white sand beach and crystal clear waters are rather enticing to anyone who gets to visit the place. The barangay maintains the place and provides security to visitors. 

​You can opt to pitch a tent at the beach itself or you can rent a room in one of the resorts at the place. Barangay tanods roam the area at night to ensure the security of visitors. There is also a small store selling food in the area. You can ride a van for hire going to Tabuelan and get on a motorcycle for hire to get to Maravilla Beach.

Basdaku

Another beach that has consistently figured in a number of lists of the best beaches in Cebu is Basdaku in Moalboal. Even as Moalboal is famous for its dive sites, the town also has a beach that is popular among residents and visitors of the town.  Basdaku or White Beach is a long stretch of white sand close to the jump off point of divers in the town. 

​Since Moalboal is considered as a tourist town, there are a number of accommodations available for visitors who want to stay the night. You also have the option to pitch a tent on the beach itself and sleep under the stars at night. You can get to Basdaku by hopping on a bus bound for Moalboal at the Cebu South Bus Terminal. Once you reach the town, you can ride a motorcycle for hire to take you to the beach itself.

​These are just five of the best beaches where you can spend a weekend in the island of Cebu. There are many other beaches not included in this list, including the ones found on the islands off the coast of mainland Cebu. 

​Cebu is blessed with numerous wonders of nature that has attracted the attention of both local and international tourists. These natural wonders can be found in nearly all parts of the island. One way for Cebuanos to protect these natural wonders is to establish marine sanctuaries, which are found in many places around Cebu. One of these marine sanctuaries is located in the southwestern town of Dumanjug.

Marine Sanctuary

A marine sanctuary is a marine protected area where fishing, shell collection, seaweed collection, and other extractive activities are prohibited. Human activities are also limited, including access to the sanctuary itself. The limitations are set in place to ensure the protection of the ecosystem in the area.

Camboang Marine Sanctuary

The Camboang Marine Sanctuary is located in Barangay Camboang, Dumanjug, Cebu. It was established in 1997 and covers a total area of 4.8 hectares. The marine sanctuary is located in a National Integrated Protected Areas System or NIPAS area. The NIPAS Act provides the structure for the establishment and management of protected areas in the archipelago. It protects these areas from destructive human exploration.

Since the Camboang Marine Sanctuary is a protected area, the marine life in the area has flourished. It is an ideal place for divers to explore the underwater world since it is home to numerous marine species that thrive in the area. The marine sanctuary in Camboang is a community-based marine sanctuary that is a part of the Coastal Resource Management Project in the country. 

Getting to Dumanjug

To get to Dumanjug, you can ride a bus headed for the town at to the Cebu South Bus Terminal. The trip will take around three hours depending on the traffic.

If you are planning to visit the Camboang Marine Sanctuary, it may be good if you visit Dumanjug when the town celebrates its annual festival on October 4. You may also want to visit the other tourist spots in the town as well as get the chance to taste the famous bisnok of the town since you cannot say you visited the town of Dumanjug if you have not eaten their most famous delicacy.

​While people think the “lugaw” or porridge is a Chinese dish, some historians have indicated that this simple dish may have been created by Filipinos due to its simplicity.

​The queseo is a cheese delicacy made from carabao’s milk. The traditional method of making the delicacy is meticulous, but the final product is distinctively creamy. It is best paired with crackers, biscuits, or piping-hot pandesal. The queseo is the product highlighted by the Municipality of Compostela in their annual festival, the Queseo Festival.

Caballo Festival 

Compostela used to celebrate the Caballo Festival in honor of the patron saint of the town, Sr. Santiago de Apostol or St. James the Apostle. The word “caballo” is the Spanish word for horse. The Caballo Festival of Compostela is rooted on the portrayal of the loyal Apostle of Jesus riding a white horse, which is considered legendary and symbolic to the Spaniards. The essence of the Caballo Festival was unity, faith, development, and strength. 

Queseo Festival

It is interesting to note that before the Caballo Festival was established, local authorities considered calling their festival the Queso Festival. It was rejected since it was unthinkable at that time for a dance demonstrating milking a carabao or preparing queso would become popular among the people. So, the concept was shelved. 

The Caballo Festival was later changed into the Queseo Festival after Compostela adopted the one-town-one-product drive of the provincial government. The queseo is a livelihood product of many residents of the mountain barangays of the town. The festival was created to facilitate the promotion of the product. It was necessary to develop a dance routine mimicking the tedious process of making the queseo. After careful analysis of the movements in the process along with a little imagination, seven main dance steps were created for the festival.

Seven Dance Steps of the Queseo Festival

The seven main dance steps showing the process of making the queseo are as follows:

​A dance workshop was held to ensure all contingents will incorporate the dance steps into their presentations. The first time these dance steps were showcased in public was on July 24, 2013, which was the eve of the first Queseo Festival of Compostela. The dance figures are also revealed on the official Queseo Festival jingle. Aside from the dance steps, the dancers also don Maria Clara-style outfits or Spanish era dresses. The colorful attire highlights the rich history of the town of Compostela.

The Queseo Festival of Compostela not only demonstrates the values and traditions of the residents of Compostela, it also highlights its main delicacy that continues to be the main source of income for a good number of residents of the town. The annual festival also shows the rich cultural heritage of the northern town of Compostela and entices local and foreign tourists to visit the town. 

​Have you experienced the Queseo Festival already? Tell us about it on the comments section below.

​The queso or queseo is a type of cheese made from fresh carabao’s milk. It is produced in a number of places in the country, and one of these places is the Municipality of Compostela. In fact, the queseo is the main theme of the annual festival of the town, the Queseo Festival.

​Many of the families in the mountain barangays of the town get their daily income from making queseo. The town also promotes the product through the annual festival of the town. It is also the product the town adopted under the one-town-one-product (OTOP) concept of the provincial government. 

Queseo 

The queseo is common in a number of far-flung mountain barangays of the town of Compostela. It is creamy white and a bit salty to the taste. While some queseo makers use machines to create the product, there are still a number who use the traditional method of making this unique product. Many of the traditional queseo makers learned the process from their elders. It has become a tradition for many families living in these mountain barangays.

​The queseo is meticulous to prepare. It starts with getting fresh carabao’s milk. A mesh is used to strain fresh carabao’s milk and placing it inside a metal vat. The metal vat is heated and vinegar is added. The mixture is stirred until it curdles or thickens. After this, salt is added and moisture is removed. The salted curdled milk is taken out and molded before it is wrapped in banana leaves to produce this special cheese from the town of Compostela. The queseo is best paired with puto, biscuits or hot bread. 

Where to Buy the Queseo

There are a number of eateries selling the queseo of Compostela. These eateries are typically located close to or at the public market itself.  There are also some residents of Compostela who go around and sell the cheese in and around Compostela. Others even reach as far as Danao City to sell their wares.

​The queseo is just one of the native delicacies visitors can try if they get the chance to visit Cebu. Aside from the queseo, visitors can also take home other pasalubong items, like the Peanut Browas and Toasted Mini Mamons, after they visit the island of Cebu.
