Car Car Cebu
My ancestors are descended from Bohol and during the war they transferred to Cebu. In Car Car to be exact. I have always liked Car Car, and my childhood memories always remind me of how peaceful and beautiful it is. There are a number of things that can be done upon reaching Car Car. Lately, a new small resort has been added to please tourist and locals alike. There are also shoe makers in Car Car that are very devoted in promoting Filipino products.
Carcar is a municipality in the province of Cebu, Philippines. According to the 2007 census, it has a population of 100,632 people.
In 2005, Metro Cebu’s definition was expanded to include Danao City in the north and the municipality of San Fernando and the city of Carcar down south.
Carcar became a city on July 7, 2007. On November 19, 2008, The City of Carcar was demoted along with 2 other cities in Cebu and 13 other cities in the Philippines. The Supreme Court ruled that the 16 cities did not pass the requirements for cityhood.
My Cebu Photo Blog’s testimonial
“ CARCAR is a municipality-recently-turned-city-then-turned-municipality about 60kms South of Cebu. Carcar is a booming district during the Spanish era which explains why its streets are filled with Spanish Architecture. Carcar is known for sweets like Bucarillo and tasty snacks like Ampao and Chicharon. Carcar is also known as the Shoe Capital of Cebu.”
Car Car offers different delicacies and one of my favorites are chicahron and Bucarillo. They are sold near the Jolibee Car Car. This are one of the things I will never forget about my second hometown. And lastly, Car Car made the largest shoe that was placed in the Guinness Book of Records.
