                    [Title] => Magellan's Cross Park is unveiled after rehab
                    [Summary] => The Magellan's Cross Park was full last night as Cebuanos witnessed the ribbon-cutting ceremony and blessing of the rehabilitated Magellan's Cross kiosk. 


The Embassy of Portugal, through the Gulbenkian Foundation, pledged over P92,000 for the beautification and rehabilitation of the kiosk where the historical Magellan's Cross is displayed.

Therese Gonzales, project director of the Parks and Playground Commission, said the Portuguese government supported the rehabilitation of the kiosk because Cebu City is the only city in the Philippines paying tribute to their hero.

The mayor believes the amount is too big considering that the city government has already allocated around the same amount in the original budget.

Dakay Construction will do the renovation after winning over three other bidders with a little over P65 million bidding price. This saved the city government roughly P800,000 from its original budget of P66 million.

"They should address their complaint to the commission. Until there are no changes, the demolition will take place," Osmeña said.

Councilor Nestor Archival, chairman of the Parks and Playground Commission, said the decision will depend upon the members of the commission, and not only on him.

Jerry Marquez, urban poor consultant of the City Hall, yesterday said the Magellan's Cross Park will have to be cleared of vendors by Monday next week.

Marquez said this was supposed to be done immediately after the Sinulog celebration but the city government decided to implement the same after the traditional "Hubo" liturgical rite tomorrow.
