This is a port
that we anchored at. I believe that I was on board the USNS SAN JOSE (T-AFS-7) We had
taken a water taxi from the ship to Mactan Island. Of course I had my
wife's family to visit there so I made some time of taking two of my
nieces to the movies. We had either watched a James Bond movie or a
Jackie Chan film. That was over fifteen years ago and the memory tends to
get selective of what it deems important to keep detailed information
on. One of the nieces I took to the movies is here in Tampa, Florida
only 2 miles away. Ironically Cebu began to surpass Manila in trade.
Cebu City is the 2nd largest Metropolitan area in the Philippines.
I still have family there. My niece Susan has her boys there with her
mother and her oldest boy Edward had a baby girl which makes me a great
great Uncle. My sister in law Lolith owns a beauty parlor called Tri-Sis
in the Lakandula market area.
