Day 2. The whole day of our second day in Cebu City is
dedicated to just tour Cebu city by car. An eight (8) hour private car charter
thru Klook advance booking made us possible to tour Cebu city with ease and
comfort specially with Nanay. I have most of my Cebu city wish list “must-see”
in our own pace because of the private car. I also appreciate the lobby guard
from One Central hotel wishing us to enjoy the tour while also noting the car
plate number as soon as we hop inside the private car as if telling us, “Mam,
you will be monitored and we will be waiting for you to comeback safely.”
We started our
trip towards Cebu’s Taj Mahal…Temple of Leah in barangay Busay in Cebu City. It
was told that Temple of Leah was owned by Adarna family and built as a symbol
of the undying love and ceaseless devotion to Leah Adarna by his husband. With an
entrance fee of P50, you could see how this 5,000 sqm land area with seven
storeys high built because of love and devotion. The nine-foot bronze statue of
Leah is its main element with a brass plaque on its podium signed by Teodorico
Adarna that says “Beloved Wife and Mother: Leah V. Albino-Adarna was chosen
Matron Queen of her Alma Mater the University of Southern Philippines. This
bronze statue portrays her composure and regal bearing when she was crowned.
May the beholder discern her innate beauty, poise, and gentleness.”
“May the
beholder discern her innate beauty, poise, and gentleness”. Wow! It is possibly
these features of her that captured his heart and love her timelessly and
physically manifesting that timeless love by building this architectural design
that can withstand time. Daydream while inside the temple and feel the
love!
