Santa Rosa de Lima Parish – The town of Alcoy was one of the last foundations of the Augustinians in the island of Cebu. It was founded as a civil town in 1867 and as an independent parish in 1890 under the advocation of Santa Rosa de Lima. Fr. Bartolome Fernandez was its first parish priest. The first temporary church building was made of bricks, constructed in 1889 by Fr. Bartolome Fernandez. Fathers Luciano Fernandez and Alicerio made restorations to the church in 1893 and 1976, respectively. Of the church’s original bells, only two are left.

 

Dalaguete

Obong Spring is a fresh water spring which emanates near the beach. Because of steady outpour of water, a pool of freshwater meets the sea especially when the tide is high and the water become brackish. So, that’s the explanation behind such mystery. The spring is located in Dalaguete, Cebujust 10 minutes away from the resort.
