Summary[edit]
.jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | A lone canon atop the walls of Fort San Pedro. Fortunately we were not at the receiving end of it! For the role it played several times in defending the city, Fort San Pedro nearly fell itself on some occasions. In 1957 Mayor Sergio Osmeña Jr. jolted the public with his announcement to demolish Fort San Pedro and erect on the spot a new City Hall. This started a movement against the demolition idea. Articles voicing opposition appeared in the local dailies and magazines in Cebu City and in Manila. Finally, confronted by civic leaders and society heads at his Cebu City Hall office, he gave up his idea and said he will use instead the space behind the fort.In the very same year, the city council commissioned 'The Lamplighter', a religious sect, to manage a zoo subsidized by the city within the fort courtyard. By 1968, the facade, quarters and walls of the original structures of Fort San Pedro were so obliterated that only the two towers were recognizable. Plans for the restoration of the fort was started and the zoo was relocated. (Cebu, Philippines, May 2013) |
