Ebe’s Amazing Journey to Cebu 2023

Author: Ebenezer Annadoss

I recently had the opportunity to travel to Cebu, Philippines, and I had an amazing time. The island is home to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, as well as a rich history and culture.

I started my trip in Cebu City, the capital of the province. The city is a mix of old and new, with colonial buildings and modern skyscrapers standing side-by-side. I visited the Basilica Minore del Santo Niño, the oldest church in the Philippines, and The Fort San Pedro, a Spanish fort built in the 16th century. I also took a walk through the Carbon Market, a bustling market where you can find everything from fresh produce to souvenirs.

My visit to Cebu is all about attending the Cebu International Film Festival (CIFF) this year, and it was an amazing experience. The festival was held in the heart of Cebu City, Ayala Mall and it was a great opportunity to see some of the best film makers from around the world. It was a great experience to share the knowledge among the film makers. I thank the festival Director Ms. Marie & the team for this opportunity.

Ms. Marie gave me an opportunity to meet the Chocolate Queen (Ms. Raquel T. Chaos), it was an amazing experience. Raquel is a world-renowned chocolatier. Raquel and I sat down for a chat. She told me about her journey to becoming a chocolatier. She said that she was inspired to start her own business after she learned about the plight of cocoa farmers. She said that she wanted to create a business that would help cocoa farmers earn a fair wage and improve their quality of life. Raquel is a truly inspiring woman. She is passionate about chocolate, and she is committed to using her business to make a positive impact on the world. I am so grateful for the opportunity to have met her, and I am excited to see what she does in the future.

I am so inspired by Raquel’s story, and I have made a short documentary film on her quickly with my iphone and to give a surprise we screened the documentary film on a theatre screen to all the filmmakers and the organizers of CIFF. My trip to Cebu was an unforgettable experience. I was able to see some of the most beautiful scenery in the world, learn about the rich history and culture of the Philippines, and make some new friends. I would highly recommend visiting Cebu to anyone looking for a tropical paradise.

I would also like to share some tips for planning your own trip to Cebu:

• The best time to visit Cebu is during the dry season, which runs from November to April.
• Cebu City is a great place to base yourself for exploring the island. There are plenty of hotels, restaurants, and shops to choose from.
• If you’re interested in diving, Moalboal, Oslob, Canyoneering, is a must-visit. The island is home to some of the best diving in the world.
• If you’re looking for historical places, Basilica Church, Fort San Pedro, Taoist Temple, Temple of Leah are must-visit spots.
• Sirao Garden is an amazing place with plenty of flowers and icons. There will be a breathtaking view from there. Don’t forget to take Umbrella.
• If you’re looking for a more relaxing vacation, there are plenty of beautiful beaches in Cebu to choose from.
• Be sure to try the local food! Cebu is home to some delicious Filipino dishes.

I hope this helps! I would like to thank my good friends Ms. Freji, Ms. Rio, Ms. Gen, Ms. Jess, and Ms. Keizel, who guided me a lot for this trip. My sincere thanks to my college management (Shasun Jain College for Women) for trusting me with this project and making this trip for me.
