About the My Cebu Photos Blog
First of all, sorry for my grammar. I'm trying to make it right and if it is really not, you may correct it. Secondly, sorry for the picture quality. I only have ordinary camera and also I'm not a good camera man or let us say "I'm not a camera man". Well anyway it's not about the quality of the picture and how nice the angle of the object taken. My purpose of having this blog is to give you different or another thoughts, view and idea about the place and it's people in Cebu. I just wanna see if the place --the general Cebu or part of it-- still convincing for you by showing you pictures taken by only a just person like me. This is just another photo blog for Cebu. There are no big differences from the others. Except from the images I think. I show you pictures then it is you who will decide: if the place is ugly or nice; or if it is just that my pictures are ugly... hehe
One thing for sure, all images was taken anywhere within Cebu. It focuses to none. I shoot from places, people, things, festivals, parties, living things, non-living things to the worst thing you can't imagine as long as I have my camera in me and as long as I like to take pictures.
I also accept and display pictures from friends. I will just acknowledge their names.
By the way, I lived in Carmen, Cebu so you don't need to wonder why I have lots of photos taken from Carmen compared to any place in Cebu. Well, this is not my only reason, it's just that I don't have any budget touring around Cebu just to take pictures. Mostly, I am in that place just because I have reason other than just bringing my cute digicam... yeah!
yeah! bling bling men...abz'

About the City of Danao
Danao City is a 2nd class city in the province of Cebu, Philippines. According to the 2007 census, it has a population of 109,534 people.
Danao City has outgrown itself from being a cradle of corruption and power hungry political dynasties and chaotic anarchy into the next industrial capital of Cebu and the whole southern Philippines.
In 2005, Metro Cebu's definition was expanded to include Danao City in the north and the municipalities of San Fernando and Carcar down south.
Gun industry in Danao
Danao City is well-known for its gun industry. The industry started around 1905-1906. When World War II came, the Danao gunsmiths went underground, joined the guerrilla movement or were inducted into the USAFFE. Their main task was to re-chamber the Japanese Arisaka rifles to fit the US .30 caliber round or to keep the original Japanese rifle in good service.
After the war, there was a lull because of the proliferation of US surplus goods including firearms.
The industry went on, still underground. In the 1960s, the term paltik was given to the homemade (and illegal) guns. In the early 1990s the industry was legalized by the government, with the creation of two organizations of local gunsmiths. The organization now left with proper permit is Workers League of Danao Multi-purpose Cooperative (World MPC), in Dungguan, Danao City.
