The overused word uber is apt here—more than 2500 local and international visitors, more than 30 Cebu trivias, more than 20 magnificent images of Cebu’s heritage sites, more than 15 delicacies -- AboitizLand Inc. presents
one of the biggest heritage celebrations through its participation in Gabii Sa Kabilin 2012 dubbed as Handurawan Sa Karaang Sugbo.
With the Heritage of Cebu Monument as its backdrop, AboitizLand will transform Mabini Street on May 25 to showcase the awe-inspiring Kabag-uhan: Now and Then Photo Exhibit Year 2. Old pictures of heritage sites from the
collection of the AboitizLand’s CEO Andoni Aboitiz and Lucy Urgello-Miller will be place alongside its then pictures, the winning images of 2011 and 2012 Kabag-uhan: Now and Then Photo Contest.
The amusing Cebu Trivia Night opens at 7 pm challenging triviaholics’ knowledge of their beloved Queen City of the South. The grueling battle of wits is open to all Cebuanos and Cebuanos at heart.
The AboitizLand Heritage Show will turn the evening into an amazing experience in entertainment and storytelling as it did last year, even more. Ka Bino Guerrero, popular tour interpreter, will be telling the stories highlighting one of Cebu’s greatest assets – the rich history of Cebu’s streetscapes and landscapes.
Ka Bino is Cebu’s equivalent of Manila’s maverick Carlos Celdran. He will conduct a “sitting tour” as he reveals old Sugbo’s streetscapes and famous heritage points.
To cap off a fine evening relishing the past, savoring the present and looking forward to the future, guests will say ‘lami’ at the Food Festival where various communities are offering a splendid gastronomic treat.
AboitizLand’s participation in Gabii Sa Kabilin 2012 supports the company’s effort to nurture the Cebuano culture and heritage. Being in Gabii sa Kabilin is the company’s contribution to the enrichment of culture and the arts, consistent with its brand promise of developing nurturing and assuring communities.
An annual event of the Ramon Aboitiz Foundation Inc.’s Cultural Heritage Program, Gabii sa Kabilin is a recipient of the Public Relations Society of the Philippines’s Anvil Award of Merit for Public Relations Program—Sustained Basis: Arts and Culture/Heritage/Tourism.
