Magellan's Cross. This Cebu City shrine marks the spot where the first Christian Filipinos, Rajah Humabon and Queen Juana and about 400 of their followers, were baptized by Fr. Pedro Valderama. The Cross was brought by Ferdinand Magellan and planted in April 21, 1521. It is encased in hollow tindalo wood, which is housed in a centuries-old kiosk of wood adobe and red-brick tiles. Cebu City is the oldest city in the Philippines. It is often called the 'Queen City of the South' and the Seat of Christianity in the Philippines.
