While Colon Street is known as the oldest and shortest national road in the country, unknown to many is that it is also where the heart of urban Cebuano culture lies before. As it was near the port, where trading happens, Cebuano mestizo families began to establish the social life of the city by making Colon into a business hub. One of the favorite entertainment of Cebuanos before was watching literary-musical and live theater entertainment programs, comedies, dance numbers, operas, and stage plays. Teatro Junquera was the oldest cinema in Cebu which was established in 1895.<\/p>\n
