Norkis' 'Heroes Hill' to boost Compostela's tourism marketability

The municipality of Compostela welcomes the move of the Norkis Group of Companies to develop its 200-hectare property into a "Heroes Hill," which is seen to boost the town's tourism appeal.

Compostela Mayor Antonio Dangoy said the move of the Norkis Group management will benefit the town as it would soon host a site of historical and cultural activities.

He added that with the "Heroes Hill" development, it would definitely attract visitors from both the domestic and foreign tourists market. It is then a step forward towards the municipality's aim to become a cultural and tourism destination in the northern part of Cebu province.

Last week, the "Heroes Hill" in Compostela was formally opened to the public.

Although, it is not yet fully completed, Norberto Quisumbing, Jr., chairman of the board of the Norkis Group of Companies gave the assurance that the project will be completed with all its necessary facilities in place by early next year.

Quisumbing said that the "Heroes Hill" has its historical relevance for our youth to know the personalities who were killed while defending the country. It will also have a monument to honor the Overseas Filipino Workers as well as Cebuanos who were successful in their respected fields that brought honor and pride to Cebu.
