When I went out of the office today, I learned that the rear tire of my bike was busted. So I left it at the park space and got on the first jeep that passed by. Good thing I had my trusty camera with me. I was able to take some photos of the weekday street scene in Cebu City.
Jones Avenue (midtown Cebu City) at 5:oo in the afternoon
Escario Street and a view of the Golden Peak Hotel
Golden Peak Hotel towering in the distance.
The new McDonald’s in Escario is opening very soon!
The Cebu Provincial Capitol looking dainty and clean.
Light traffic at the Osmeña Boulevard.
The former Food Street (home of Carlo’s Batchoy) is now fenced off for a low-rise project of Avon.
View of the Fuente Osmeña’s beautiful high-rises.
Metrobank Plaza Tower and the towering Crown Regency.
Traffic on the right headed uptown is starting to slow down a bit.
Nalipong ko sa jeep. Haha!
Wow! What a lovely, wide & clean paved roads that we have there nowadays! I’m impressed!!
nindota na diay ba sa dalan karon sa escario ug nawala na diay ang batchoyan, anha mi sauna mag hang out kada human ug bar hopping, pawala sa hang over ba……asa naman gibalhin ang batchoyan karon ley? ug asa man dapita sa escario ang mac donalds ibutang? matsalams…..
Hi,
Used your Cebu Street Scene in class today – have 16 students – 18-24 year olds. They are supposed to comment on 1 – 3 of your postings.
They are also suppose to use your blog as a model – no kidding – it is one of the best I have seen when I searched on what to use for my class – it is very clean – no bad words – very well organized.
Just thought I would let you know.
Thanks!
Edna
I realy injoyed looking at the streets of the town and how everything works over there around that time of the day.
Sir Randee – ang carlos batchos kay ni-migrate ra sa atbang. hehehe.. didto na sa boulevard.
ang boulevard, by the way, kay murag nag classy mini-resto-mall. naay jollibee, jo’s chicken inato and others. =)
… the ever beautiful Cebu City!
daghang salamat…..kadaghan na dyud diay kausaban sa syudad karon sa . . . laag laag nya ko puhon inig uli karong Sinulog 2008 . . . thanks
very nice… missing cebu so much…
gimingaw kog sakay sa jeep. pero mao lage malipong ta, kay mag sigig hunong nya init pa jud.
pila na kaha ang minimum nga plete no? i just read this week, taxi driver iyang gi hold up iyang passenger. OMG
wow! the city looks so clean here. i realy hope that someday they would adopt the system of having those electric wires and cables under the ground that at the “poste” para mo nice og samot ang atua.
The only buildings I recognize here are Metrobank Plaza and the Provincial Capitol. By the way, I am amazed by the seeming lack of traffic congestion, even during the 5PM rush hour. Normal ba ni? That would be really amazing kung ingon ana gyud.

ley, asa man dapit sa escario ang McDo? tapad ba na sa SSS?
ley, wala ka gi-pangayuan ug limos diha sa Skywalk sa Robins? 🙂
ang mcdo tapad sa shell. kanang directly in front sa winland towers.
wala may nanglimos sa skywalk pag-agi nako.. usually, wala na kaayo beggars diha nga skywalk. didto sa other skywalk beside gyud sa robinsons ang naa pirmi.
Very, very nice! When mana sila nagstart sa construction sa McDo Escario nga wala pa man na diha last June? Pero I noticed daghan kaayo construction going on sa Cebu City. Good for the economy!
Matsalam for sharing!
🙂
Nice pictures, Ley! I can’t wait to go back for Christmas!
Leylander sorry to hear about your bike. Good thing you had your camera, this is my 1st time looking at your blog and man you take some nice pictures. Its very interesting being from the States that all your pictures look like something you could see here. They are even building a Mc D’s one of my favorite places to eat. Also the hotel and capitol looks amazing I love what you are doing with the site.

Its really nice to see the new views in Cebu city I am a Cebuano and graduated in (CIT)1967 I wish to see more some pictures in the old San Nicolas district the plaza were we used to have our Physical education in my high school days what about Pasil. We also used to drill our ROTC days in the old Lahug Airport. Now I am a Muntinlupa city resident where I had my family and a business after retiring as an electrical engineer. More power and thanks for the wonderful pictures.
Ang linis ng cebu, di pa ko nakapunta jan…maybe someday

Haven’t been to Cebu personally but wow… thru your pics, I can say that this city is beautiful! Pls post more, tnx!!!
Pila naman ang plete karon from Lahug to any part of the city? Base on one ride, say from sm to Colon? Medyo mahal na ang plete karon noh?
