Cebuano’s can now have their own museum at Musuem sa Sugbo. It is jam packed with rich cultural history from our past. What was once the old Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center (CPDRC) will now house some of Cebu’s most valuable historical possessions as the Cebu Provincial Government officially opened the Museo Sugbo.
The museum will also be known as a replica of the National Historical Institute’s (NHI) Museum of Philippine Political History.The opening of the Museo Sugbo is part of the Province’s week long celebration of its 439th founding anniversary.
For the Museo Sugbo, it will highlight the province’s political history, with four galleries presenting each political period of Cebu.
Most of the artifacts found in the museum were procured from loans and donations from private and public entities like the University of San Carlos, the family of Roderika Rama-Poca and the relatives of Sotero Cabahug.
The facade of the area is very beautiful since it will really remind you of the olden days and remember how our ancestors bravely fought colonialism. The museum is opened to the public and is highly educational to everyone. Although it is opened to the public, there are other quarters being renovated.The museum has some of the most unique pieces that tell of the rich culture and history of Cebu

The Land Transportation Office will be issuing a new requirement for those wanting to get their new car registered — if you can’t show proof you’re going to have a decent garage for your new car, you cannot get a registration.
This new ruling follows after a spate of reports from citizens about private vehicles taking up space and making public roads their parking space.
This new ruling is actually an ordinance passed in Congress by Rep. Narciso D. Santiago III who says, “Streets become overnight parking lots as both sides are crammed with private vehicles. People should be disciplined enough to be able to furnish their vehicles with the appropriate parking space inside their own lots.” [Read Press Release here.]
It is up to the LTO to make sure that this is properly implemented.
But residents of the Philippines, what’s your take on this?

It’s still the middle of February and as it is, the weather has been scorching hot. It’s as if summer is already here. But reports say that things are just getting warmed up and it will get worse.
So worse that Philippine Energy Secretary Angelo Reyes has announced that Luzon may have to make a few adjustments with the power supply. Because the dams that power electric plants are almost below their capacity and is drying up, Luzon will be experiencing rotating brownouts of three hours, to conserve resources.
The power interruptions are expected to last for two to three hours and will take place twice daily. This is expected to go on for at least two weeks or until the expected supply comes. Residents are already experiencing the interruptions since last night, with some unable to go to sleep due to the weather.
More details are found on this report.
