Brgy. Day-as, Cordova, Cebu
21 March 2017
Dr. Norway and I drove from Bellavista Hotel in Lapu-Lapu City to Brgy. Day-as in the municipality of Cordova in Cebu to see the 10,000 Roses Cafe at night. Brgy. Day-as is approximately 10.6KM away from our location. We left at 2100H and was at the parking lot in Brgy Day-as at 2128H.
I was surprised to see local and foreign tourists visiting the place even at dark night. From the parking lot, we walked on a pavement towards the area where the Cafe is located.
The site is a reclamation area with mangroves covering a portion of the shore. When I first heard the news about the Cafe, I thought it was a wide farm of LED powered artificial flowers.
According to the authorities onsite, the establishment is managed by Miguel Cho, Mayor Mary Therese Sitoy-Cho's stepson. The establishment opened last Feb. 6, 2017 and since then, local tourists have been visiting the area to photograph the artificial flowers.
Furthermore, the property was developed through a public-private partnership, according to Cordova Tourism office.
We paid an environmental fee of P20. A stone throw away from the 10000 Roses Cafe is the famous Lantaw Floating Restaurant.
We left the place at 2202H.
