The Heritage of Cebu is a dramatic scene found in Parian Park. It is a panorama of the early Filipinos, to the dawn of the European Colonization, the revolution in 1896 and the birth of the Republic of the Philippines. The Heritage of Cebu is the heroic contribution of the Cebuano people and the saga of events which happened to the island of Cebu in the Phillippines. These are the vital elements in the formulation of the nation we know and see today. Their contributions should be rightfully imitated, immortalized and honored in a lasting monumental aesthetic experience. They are great heroes and examples to the Cebuanos as well as to the whole Filipino people. They strive hard to retain the pride and sense of self to each and every brother they have.
The Heritage of Cebu is a classic work of art in the loving legacy of the City and Province of Cebu. It is in honor to all the people in Cebu and is a tribute to all Filipino people and the wealth of our race.
