Jaro
Magdalena Jalandoni was a Filipino feminist writer. She is now remembered as one of the most prolific Filipino writers in the Hiligaynon dialect. Hailing from Western Visayas, her works are said to have left permanent and significant milestones in Philippine literature. Born to an affluent family in the former city of Jaro , now a present day district of Iloilo City, she already began writing at tender age wherein she already had her poems published at the age of 12. She published her first novel Ang Mga Tunoc Sang Isa Ca Bulac (The Thorns of a Flower), which was later followed by many novels, compilations of poems and short stories. Jalandoni only wrote for publication purposes due to the male-dominated society at the time. Back then, female voices in literature were not taken seriously by the general public. Although her mother strictly forbid her to take literature seriously, she refused to do so and devoted her life entirely to literature. Her famous poem Ang Guitara (The Guitar) is read in classrooms all over the country today. Literary critics and historians claim that she has mastered a special talent for poetry and description as well as dramatic evocations of landscapes and events in her novels and short stories. Her works span from the coming of Malay settlers in the Middle Ages up to the Spanish and American colonial era as well as the Japanese occupation of World War II, all portraying the history of Panay and the evolution of the Ilonggo culture. According to Riitta Varitti of the Finnish-Philippine Society in Helsinki, "Jalandoni was the most productive Philippine writer of all time." Other famous works include Anabella, Sa Kapaang Sang Inaway (In the Heart of War), Ang Dalaga sa Tindahan (The Young Woman in the Market) and Ang Kahapon ng Panay (The Past of Panay). Throughout her turbulent and displaced life, she still managed to publish 36 novels, 122 short stories, 7 novelettes, 7 long plays, 24 short plays and dialogos in verse complied in two volumes, seven volumes of personally compiled essays including some translations from Spanish and two autobiographies. She has been displaced from her hometown twice and has survived the Philippine Revolution, the Filipino-American War and the Japanese Occupation. In 1977, she received the prestigious Republic Cultural Heritage Award for her literary achievements from the government, about one year before her death. She is now survived by a few nieces as well as several other close relatives. Despite all this, she still remains relatively unknown up to this day. Her family's ancestral house stands as a historical landmark and museum not far from the cathedral of Jaro. You may also want to check out more old houses in Jaro. Source:Wikipedia

The Magellan's Cross is a 485-year old cross which stands in a small chapel located across Cebu City Hall and along Magallanes Street. The cross found in the chapel is made of tindalo wood, a small sign below the cross says that the original cross is encesed inside the tindalo cross to protect it from being chipped by those who believe in its supernatural and healing powers. Some say that the cross that stands in the chapel is not the one Magellan brought with but a replacement planted by the Spaniards who came after the Spanish explorer. The original one was allegedly lost or destroyed. The significance of this cross among the Cebuanos is evident in the use of the image of the chapel where it is located in the City Hall Seal and other Cebu-based organizations.
