The original cross was encased in another wooden cross for protection, as people started chipping it away in the belief that it had miraculous healing powers. This prompted the government officials to encase it in Tindalo wood secured it inside a small kiosk, with a tile roof.

We pretty much enjoyed all the stops particularly the Lapu-Lapu shrine and the Sirao Instagram sites. Leila, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable of the history of Cebu. She also has some recommendations on where to stay if ever my wife and I decided to stay in Cebu long term.
