Casa Gorordo — a museum that I have only come to know during Gabii Sa Kabilin 2018.<\/p>\n
A reality that most of us don’t realize is that Cebu is rich in\u00a0heritage. I am also guilty of this, but we are too focused on the\u00a0now<\/em> that we forget to look back on what brought us here.<\/p>\n Cebu is a mix of different influences from the east and the west.\u00a0Our neighboring Asian country, China, lived in the country to do trading, while the folks from Spain colonized the country for more than 3 centuries. What makes Casa Gorordo special is not just it being home\u00a0for some pieces of memorabilia, but it also is a representation of how we are influenced architecturally.<\/p>\n According to Casa Gorordo Museum’s website<\/a>, and I quote, “This cultural blending of east and west is referred to as\u00a0mestizo<\/em>\u00a0and is a defining character of Filipino identity.”<\/p>\nHistory of Casa Gorordo<\/h3>\n
