MANILA, Philippines - The family and townmates of reigning Bb. Pilipinas-Universe Shamcey Supsup are preparing for the coronation night of the 60th Miss Universe pageant, which will be held in Sao Paulo, Brazil on Tuesday morning (Manila time). Officials of barangay Katangawan said they will set up projectors so more people can cheer on Supsup as they watch the live airing of the world's biggest beauty pageant via ABS-CBN. Supsup's father, Timoteo, has opted to stay in General Santos to watch his daughter's biggest night with his family and kababayans.

When going out to Cebu nightclubs, especially on the weekends, be sure to check out Mango Square. By day, it is a rather quiet small mall located on Mango Avenue near Fuente Circle and anchored by National Bookstore.

The music played is mainly pop, and if you like a fun and lively atmosphere then the nightlife here won't disappoint you. The prices of drinks and food are reasonable and you will feel comfortable hanging out and drinking an ice cold beer! Autoshop Bar, Juliana, and Pump are just a few of the n...

There are also a few archaeological finds. Patricia Perez, Chief of the Cultural and Historical Affairs Committee (CHAC) describes the Cebu City Museum as a place where mixed disciplines of the art converge. A modern sculpture by Eliseo Pepito meets you at the door beside a mega-size 15th century Chinese vat donated by Fred Labra. As you move around the museum, you run into landscapes, portraits of well-known Cebuano figures and personalities, floral renditions, and murals. Antique chinaware from Carcar from the personal collections of Eva Mesa and Luther Galicano are stacked in a 40-year-old cabinet owned by Matilde Palicte.
