Santo Niño project set to rise on Shell Island

-

A multi-million project of the Basilica del Santo Niño will be constructed soon that will feature the history of Cebu.

Fr. Dan Delos Angeles said the Niño Paraiso will soon rise in close vicinity of Cebu City. Delos Angeles announced the project during the 2nd Huniño Songwriting Tilt held yesterday at the Basilica grounds.

The concept map showed that the project will be constructed on Shell Island.

“Delos Angeles said the project comprises a theme park that will feature a 21-foot statue of the Holy Child on top of a building which looks like His crown; replicas of the Magellan's Cross kiosk, the Fort San Pedro, and a Galleon; and scenes depicting the reenactments of the Battle of Mactan, the First Mass and the Sinulog grand parade.”

Other features will be an oceanarium, a botanical garden and rides.

Although the cost was not yet revealed, the project is set to start this year, Basilica officials said. – Jasmin R. Uy/LPM
