I remembered how lost I was and felt like I was going nowhere in life. Then I remembered the first Feast Conference I attended in Cebu back in 2015. The theme was 'Coming Home'.

Temple of Leah -  Temple of Leah, a relatively new tourist spot in Cebu, was built out of love by Tedorico Adarna to his loving wife Leah Adarna. The temple is Greek-inspired complete with a museum, art gallery, library, and a balcony with an overlooking view. 3.  Mactan Shrine - Mactan Shrine hold a historical importance in Cebu since it is where Lapu-Lapu defeated Magellan.
