Hi! Paul, I took this pictures 1989. I just told Capt. Frank Liparanon to passby Kawit Island for a shot not thinking during that time that it will be a part of Cebu Island now.

Dear Mr. Umabong, it's possible, to give me a photo in a higher resolution of "Kawit Island 1989"? Cause my wife - Filipina - is from Alumnos, Basak, Cebu City. Many times during low tide we walked and swim a little bit from Alumnos to Kawit Island (1000 meter). Never have seen a photo like this before. As you know, now it`s history - cause of the reclamation-area.

Salamat Mike

hi paul! so this is history making? you know what? before i used to pass by to this island when i was still a kid. my grandfather was a fisherman and every once a week he'd pass by this island. One day he showed me what this kawit islang looked like and there it was, lying like a bird. It was really nice to see. hope we'll live and tell new generation how this beautiful island it was. -

thanks

Thank you for the nice comments on Kawit Island photo. There was a time in the 60's and the 70's that all the bad element in Cebu City were placed in this island for safe keeping. And this was done every Sinulog (Mardi Gras) Celebration.
