Although not really considered as “heritage” in terms of age (since the National Historical Institute states that what can be considered as heritage buildings are those that have been standing for at least 50 years), the Heritage of Cebu Monument, located in historic Pari-an District is still a feast to the eye.

Friends make our days complete
They also give you a happy treat
They also defend you in times of fights
Like a rope that connects and holding it tight

They convey special attention to a friend
And a lot of worship for them to send
Friends are great companionships
So nothing can describe noxious friendship

Friends bloom like beautiful flowers
Communicating with them for many hours
Dearest Friends, please show us love
For God will send you a glorious dove
