Boljoon, CEBU: Where time stops and asks you stay a little bit longer
It was my friend, Chin, who mentioned Boljoon to me. Her mother hails from this quiet coastal town in Southern Cebu and the minute I laid my eyes on it, I had thought that her mother was one lucky woman, indeed. Boljoon is a sight to behold. It is that enigmatic smile that you just cannot forget, or that painting that won’t leave you, however hard you try. [Note that this essay was published in my previous website, meilbox.net]
Just the name itself intrigued me; it was a name that evokes of history and mystery. And so, when I had the chance, I dragged along my husband (who luckily hails from Cebu) and his wonderful Papa and Mama, and ‘Kuya’ Dale, who have all been so warm and sweet, enveloping me with the love of family, ensuring that this ‘adopted’ daughter of Cebu can laugh with the winds and play with the waves. Ahhh, this is truly a wonderful world. And there is an unfathomable mystery that is profoundly beautiful.
These photos are shared with you with my deepest hopes that you, too, can visit Boljoon someday.

I pray, I love, I laugh. Thank you, our God-source-universe. You are here on the tiles, on the ceiling, on art itself, and in the hearts of people, Catholics or not, just because you are LOVE itself. [Image Anna Suarin]
Boljoon, we shall be back and definitely stay longer. 🙂 Thank you for embracing us! [Image Anna Suarin]
