SUBSCRIBEThe Jesuit House of 1730 in Cebu
May 3rd, 2007
An exciting find, Arnold Carl’s Heritage of Cebu site has photos of the current status of this Jesuit House in Pari-an, Cebu City, purported to be the oldest house in Cebu and in the country. I have read about this in Regalado Trota Jose’s book, Simbahan, and have thought that it was demolished together with the Parian Church during the colonial era due to, as some put it, jealousy by the Augustinians of Sto. Nino Church with its rising wealth and influence (Parian is usually related with the Chinese just like in colonial Manila, outside the walls of Intramuros).
Now this, and I should schedule a visit to this area when I return home next week in time for the elections.
