Museo Sugbo

Museo Sugbo
Museo Sugbo was desiged by the only architect in Cebu during 1869, who was Domingo De Escondrillas. It was constructed during 1871 and was proposed to be the main prison for the Visayan District due to it's size when it was being constructed. It was used as a prison for Katipuneros during it's 135-year history. The site served as a stable for a racetrack nearby but was eventually turned back to a prison. Many of them were executed without trial nearby Caretta Cementer. During the Japanese colonization, guerillas were imprisoned here after enduring the torture of the Japanese Police.



These are the letters of Miguel López de Legazpi that were sent to King Philip II, these letters are the first ones sent out of the Phillipines and out of Cebu.











There was even a glass case containing money from the past, it's very different from today's money. As you can see, they used to have centavo's as bills, unlike ours which are coins.











Explanation on the need to preserve this site:

We need to preserve this because it's a very old site, it's also used as a tourist spot. It also serves as a place for showing the people of Cebu the past and it's culture.

"Paggamit ng Ilegal na Droga"

"Paggamit ng ilegal na droga"       Maraming Pilipino ang maaapekto ng pagpasok ng mga droga sa ating bansa. Maraming tao ang namatay. Namatay ang mga taong merong pamilya dahil sa Paggamit, pagaari ng droga.       Meron akong Lolo, siya'y matanda na at nakulong dahil sa mga droga. Masakit Galaga Para sa akin na isipin na nakulong soya. Dahil siya ay nag-alaga sa akin nong sanggol palang ako. Siya ang akong palaging ka-usap noong bumibisita pa kami sa kanilang bahay.       Para sa akin, wala ng magagawa upang maitigil ang mga droga. Pero meron pang pag-Asa, pwede nating paliitin ang mga kaso ng droga. Ang mga droga ay galing sa ibang bansa. Posibleng pinapadala ito gamit ng mga barko, at pwede itong hanapin ng gobyerno upang maitigil ito.

The meeting lasted for quite a while and when the clock hit 9:30 A.M, we were immediately asked to go to our areas. Each level of students were classified into different locations to clean up such as the Canteen, Quadrangle, Bathrooms, etc. The Grade 7 - Loyalty was assigned to the bathroom for clean-up. The bathroom upon arrival was dirty but our students were determined to clean it. Stall after stall, our students were finally finished on cleaning the bathroom.
