Cebu City may have been the first city in the Philippines, but it took a long time for the former capital to look and function as one. Resident Historian Amiel "Cortz" Cortes answers 69 questions to help visualize archaic Cebu City boundaries, subtle racial segregations between the Chinese and Indios, geographical challenges of the Cebu Islands shorelines, and the transfer of Spanish headquarters to Manila Bay that contributed to 200 years of unchecked progress on the island; apart from the strong presence and resistance of various Visayan & Mindanaoan kingdoms and tribes with their chieftains.
