Wealth of the Rich Filipino Race: Heritage of Cebu

See this photo in a Different Exciting Light: On LARGE Black (720 x 1008)

I took this photo together with MalNino, a Flickr buddy from New York, last April 9, 2008.

The best way to capture the BEST images is to go back again and see it in a different perspective. See my previous work on this famous Cebu Heritage Site taken on March 1, 2008 -- with another bunch of Flickr buddies.


Historical Marker
The Heritage of Cebu is an original idea of the artist Eduardo Castrillo and Honorable Mayor Alvin B. Garcia. Concept - Design - Plan and Organization (1996); Construction - Fabrication of Artworks until Completion (July 1997 to December 2000.)

The inscription reads:

The pride, unity and cultural wealth of a race emanate from a people's sense of self and history; from the early Filipinos to the dawn of European colonization, the revolution of 1896, the birth of the Philippine Republic. The heroic contribution of the Cebuano people and the saga of events, which transpired on the islands of Cebu, are vital elements in the formulation of the nation we know today. Their contribution should rightfully be emulated, immortalized and honored in a lasting monumental, aesthetic experience.

This work of art in Parian Park is the loving legacy of the City and Province of Cebu. This monumental - sculptural tableau is honor to the people of Cebu and is a tribute to all Filipino people and the wealth of our race.

We congratulate the artist for his magnificent work and sacrifice in realizing his vision and concept into an artwork, which can be enjoyed by today's generation and those yet to come.

We express our gratitude to our sponsors, workers and institution that have supported this noble endeavor.

"HERITAGE OF CEBU"
