Cebu City - New Years Eve

We spent New Years Eve in Cebu City, the second largest city and location of the first Spanish settlement in the Philippines.

Magellan's Cross. The cross was planted by Magellan on April 21, 1521 and stands in front of city hall.

Fort San Pedro

To ring in the new year, everyone in the city sets off fireworks from their roofs. We could see hundreds of fireworks in every direction. Incredible.
