It has been claimed that the cross was indeed first planted in this spot, and this eventually led to the Spanish-era of the Philippinesmarvinhudsonshttp://www.philippinetouristattractions.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899135502350050025.post-32557002849396531272014-07-29T15:33:09.516+08:002014-07-29T15:33:09.516+08:00My pleasure... and thanks for the heads up. :) My pleasure... and thanks for the heads up. :) eye in the skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00172970161842361404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899135502350050025.post-38303429871137201062014-07-28T15:27:04.656+08:002014-07-28T15:27:04.656+08:00thanks for featuring Cebu City, Philippines esp th...thanks for featuring Cebu City, Philippines esp the Magellan's Cross.
