Cebu – Temple of Leah (2018)
Temple of Leah has started making the buzz all over Cebu and nearby cities as it captures the heart of many Cebuanos & Filipinos. This temple isn’t a place of worship. Instead it is an expression of love from a husband Teodirico Adarna to his late wife Leah Albino Adarna. Also dubbed as Cebu’s version of Taj Mahal. Right after our unplanned trip to Sirao Flower Farm, we headed to this temple which is a 20-25 minutes drive by motorcycle (habal-habal). 75/- Pesos is the fare per person, one way. Entrance Fee @ 50/- pesos per person (as of Feb 2018) What can you do/see? Basically the temple is open,…

OEC 2.0 (2016 Version)
