Things to do in Tabuelan Cebu
THE THRIVING TOWN OF TABUELAN
As what Dalai Lama said, "Once a year go some place you have never been before". As for me, whenever there is an opportunity, I travel to some place I have never been to and one of those places is the town of Tabuelan. I have no idea that this town has transformed itself from a sleeping town into a progressive municipality in Cebu North. The people from this town must be grateful to the person responsible for it, their then Mayor, Casiano Dabalos Gerona aka Titi Casi. Upon arrival at Tabuelan Bus Terminal, you will immediately see his monument installed at the plaza atop Tabuelan River.
