Last April 16, Futbol Funatics Cebu took the City in Walls by storm with MY LOCALITE —as these boys (ranging from 8-16 yo.) enjoyed educational, entertaining & engaging activities that brought the place to life! We started out with a brief introduction on Intramuros by the San Agustin Church and moved to the Casa Manila Courtyard to get quizzed on our initial discussions--those with correct answers got prizes of course!
Then, we walked over to the Light & Sound Museum, the main highlight of this Tour. For an hour, we were transported back in time to learn & re-live our Philippine History in 3 parts: the Pre-Hispanic Era, the Spanish Colonization, and the National Revolution.
Next on the Agenda was the Galleria de los Presidentes de los Republica Pilipinas. We briefly went through the background of the 15 Presidents that our country had after gaining independence from Spain and then, played a fun Trivia Game where Teams had to stand in front of the statue of the President/s we were asking about.
To keep the excitement going, we moved on to the interesting Fort Santiago, to see some dungeons & canons. Strategically located at the mouth of the Pasig River for a full view of Manila Bay, the kids playfully explored this historic citadel, which served as a military headquarters for the Spanish, British, Americans & Japanese in previous decades. It's also where Jose Rizal spent his last days before being executed, writing Mi Ultimo Adios.
Last but not the least, we went to enjoy the sunset from Bay Leaf Hotel’s Sky Deck, which gave us a breathtaking 360-degree view of the entire city. Here, we got to review all the things that we learned throughout the day as the attentive boys got to bag all the remaining candy prizes—giving them a sugar rush that would keep them contemplating on our colorful Philippine History, at least for the rest of the evening.
