For some strange reasons, Line wanted to check out the cemetery near the Mahayahay beach in Argao. She’s been talking about shooting cemeteries eversince she got her camera. So, after wishing Pikoy the best of luck with his painting, we left Mahayahay beach and had a tricycle driver agree to take us to the cemetery for a quick photo op and then straight to Chitang’s Torta to buy Argao’s famous torta and up the main road where we could wait for a bus to the city. A kind driver agreed to do all these for fifty pesos. And he became an instant tour guide pa gyud. Sulit! Hahahaha.
The cemetery is very well-planned and smooth. Everything seems to be in their proper places. Very nice cemetery they got!
That’s the main chapel.
These are some of the bone chambers.
More tombs. The cemetery is sitting next to the beach – like most cemeteries in the province. It is very clean.
Some of the very old ‘nitsos’.

Burial jars.

They kept this nice and clean! how I wish the one’s in Sta. Rosa island (Olango Island) is this nice. I mean “nice” in a sense that its well-kept and true to the areas beauty and surroundings for a beachfront cemetery. The picture seems to depect old Cebu, very historic looking town. Thanks for the lovely pics.
Ka-cute sa itoy!
the old nitso’s are spooky.

under water cemetry. like in
Camiguin island. dyok dyok dyok
the town could still declare this as one of their heritage sites.
btw, what are those clay jars for?
limpyo kaayo. unlike carreta and calamba though still have some of its colonial features yet very crowded now.
I visited three cemeteries in Cebu. San Miguel is quite crowded, so many houses around it, soon they will live inside the empty tombs.=) The Chinese one is crowded, but no houses around it. The Manila one in Liloan is the best, it’s a new one. Well, may all the dead rest in peace.
ARGAO PUBLIC CEMETERY IS REALLY NICE.WISH TO VISIT IT.SANTANDER IS TRYING TO HAVE A PUBLIC ALSO……..WISH TO VISIT MY TOWN CEBU ALSO…….

Street of no return, yep! that`s the name of the street. Peace to all my relatives in Looc Argao! My late granpa was the former caretaker of the cemetery.
I’m wondering if anyone out there has pics to some of the cemeteries in Cebu or maybe Manila. My Mother passed away when I was young (about 28 years ago) and I’m not sure which cemetery she’s in. It would be nice to know and even see a pic of where she’s laid to rest.
o’c mon is der anything else? iam badly sick of our tourist destination… like churches.. cemetery and others… perhaps we should find something new that can attract more tourist! this destination spots is decades ages!
