Compostela, Cebu

Compostela, officially the Municipality of Compostela (Lungsod sa Compostela; ), is a 3rd class municipality in the province of Cebu, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 55,874 people.

Compostela is within the Metro Cebu area.

History
In the year 1844, Spanish authorities established local government units on the northern part of Cebu starting from what is now known as the town of Compostela as far north as what is now called the town of Borbon. Compostela was among the early barrios of the Danao. The newly established barrio was named Compostela on the suggestion of Roman Catholic friar, Fr. Manuel Alonzo, who came from the town of Ibdes in Spain and brought along with him the image of Compostela’s patron saint, St. James the Great.

Adopting the said saint as the local patron, a parish chapel was built from light materials. As the population grew, the Spanish church authorities decided to elevate the chapel into a church so that in the year 1866 the catholic church was constructed on the same site. Up to present time, the same structure continues to be the major place of worship in Compostela.

At the turn of the 20th century, the Americans gained control over the Philippines when they defeated the Spaniards in the Battle of Manila Bay. As a consequence, the Treaty of Paris caused the reorganization and reclassification of all local government units in the country according to their population and income. The reorganization which took place in 1903 resulted in the secession of Compostela to Liloan. In 1919, Compostela became a municipality.

Battle of Guila Guila
The Battle of Guila-guila was a significant event that took place in Barangay Bagalnga, Compostela, Cebu during World War II. On March 5, 1943, Japanese forces under General Sosaku Suzuki were ambushed by Filipino guerillas led by Lt. Agapito "Pete" Admana, under the command of Major Fabian Sanchez. The ambush was successful and inflicted heavy casualties against the invading forces. The guerillas had planned the ambush for a long time, suspecting that the Japanese soldiers' objective was to invade their general headquarters located in Brgy. Tabunan in Cebu City.

Witnesses reported that three machine guns were already in position and foxholes were dug for cover. The fighting started around 2:00 pm, and the guerillas retreated because they were running out of bullets and ammunition. The exact number of casualties on the enemy side is unknown, but official reports account for 232 dead bodies. Some witnesses reported truckloads of dead bodies being transported, and Japanese forces bombarded the area and burned down houses in retaliation. One of the guerillas who participated in the ambush was Jose Bobo, who was later murdered by men in uniform for allegedly supporting the New People's Army.

The Capture of Governor Hilario Abellana
Hilario "Dodong" Abellana was the Governor of Cebu during the Japanese occupation of the Philippines in World War II. He was captured by the Japanese on September 3, 1944, while hiding in the Libo hills of Cabadiangan, Compostela. Abellana had previously escaped capture multiple times and was actively involved with the resistance movement in Cebu. Abellana had just returned from Bohol and was passing through the area en route to the mountains when he was caught at early dawn. Despite his efforts to resist the Japanese, he was ultimately executed on January 15, 1945, at the University of the Philippines Cebu campus. Efforts to locate Abellana's remains were exhaustive but unsuccessful.

The Estaca Bay Fight
On October 31, 1944, a group of 33 Japanese soldiers docked their sailboats on the shores of Barangay Estaca, Compostela, the first day of American bombing of Japanese headquarters in Cebu. They were not able to go beyond the seashore as they died in the hands of the guerrillas led by Democrito Mendoza, whose family owns what is now the Stakili Beach resort. In October 1942. He led 60 soldiers, some of them from Liloan and Compostela, in the offensive operation. They killed 50 Japanese soldiers before retreating to the mountains.

Geography
Compostela is bordered on the north by the city of Danao, to the west by Cebu City, on the east by the Camotes Sea, and on the south by the town of Liloan. It is 25 km from Cebu City.

Barangays
Compostela is politically subdivided into 17 barangays. Each barangay consists of puroks and some have sitios.

Consolacion

Consolacion, officially the Municipality of Consolacion (Lungsod sa Consolacion; ), is a 1st class municipality in the province of Cebu, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 148,012 people.

Consolacion is bordered on the north by the town of Liloan, to the west by Cebu City, on the east by the Camotes Sea, and on the south by the city of Mandaue. It is 12 km from Cebu City and 5 km from Mandaue.

Etymology
The town's name came from the name of daughter, Consolacion, of the then-Cebu governor when it was re-established as an independent municipality in 1920.

History
Consolacion was a component barangay first founded in 1871 with a population of 14,248. Before this, it was only a barrio of the municipality of Mandaue. The barrio, formerly named "Kampi-ig" named after a kind of crab living in mangroves, which was abundant in the area, became a separate town in 1871. However, in 1902 and 1903, unable to maintain its status as an independent municipality, it reverted to Mandaue.

In 1920, Consolacion was again made an independent municipality after a petition was accepted by the governor. So grateful were the townspeople to the Cebuano governor that they named their new town after his daughter – Consolacion – and they also chose San Narciso as their patron saint, the namesake of the governor's wife, Narcisa.

A year after the construction of the Casa Real or municipal hall, the people built their first church. Because it was made of wood, nipa, and bamboo, it was totally destroyed by a typhoon in 1888. A second one was also destroyed by a typhoon in 1892. A third one was built just before World War II, on its current site.

The present municipal hall is already the third one. The first was destroyed by the typhoon of 1892. The second one was also destroyed, by the Japanese during World War II. Today, Consolacion is a robust residential urban municipality with a vigorous economy, providing a place to live for people employed in the neighboring cities of Mandaue, Lapu-Lapu and Cebu.

Cityhood
On July 6, 2022, House Bill No. 1324 was filed by Representatives-couple Daphne Lagon (Cebu–6th) and Sonny Lagon (Ako Bisaya) which seeks to convert the municipality of Consolacion to be known as the City of Consolacion. The bill is currently pending as of August 1, 2022.

Geography
70% of the total area of the town is above or highland mountains and 18% foreshore land. The contours are irregular and the highest point is about 500 m above sea level.

Barangays
Consolacion is politically subdivided into 21 barangays. Each barangay consists of puroks and some have sitios.

Demographics
The population of Consolacion is fast-growing with an intercensal growth rate of 50.45% from 1980 to 1990, repeated and more in subsequent decades.

The demographic distribution profile of Consolacion shows sparsely populated upland barangays, and densely populated lowland barangays within the commercial area along the existing national highway.

Economy
Consolacion's recent economic trend is towards the development of operation of housing/subdivision facilities even with the presence of several medium size manufacturing industries. Consolacion is predicted to become a residential urban municipality.

The main attraction of this festival is the colorful Sarok and its wide uses.

To protect farmers and the folks from the sun and the rain, the sarok, a conical hat made from bamboo strips and dried banana leaves, becomes the needed fad for the people of Consolacion especially that the town is an agricultural land. The festival was traditionally celebrated every February 14 to coincide with its charter day celebrations but this now celebrated in October. However, the Sarok Festival evolved into a free interpretation dance, with the musical concept inspired from the Miligoy de Cebu, a published Filipino folk dance originating from the same place.

Cordova, Cebu

Cordova, officially the Municipality of Cordova (Lungsod sa Cordova; Bayan ng Cordova), is a 1st class municipality in the province of Cebu, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 70,595 people.

Also spelled Cordoba, most of the municipality lies on separate islands off the southern coast of Mactan Island. It is connected by two bridges to the main island of Mactan, which itself is connected to mainland Cebu by the two bridges between Mandaue and Lapu-Lapu City. The Cebu–Cordova Link Expressway, opened in 2022, connects it directly to mainland Cebu in Cebu City.

Cordova is bordered to the north by Lapu-Lapu City, to the west by the Mactan Channel, to the east by the Hilutangan Channel and Olango Island, and to the south by the Cebu Strait.

Cordova is a part of Metro Cebu.

History
On 22 May 1863, the Spanish Governor General of the Philippines Rafael Echagüe y Bermingham (San Sebastián, 1815 - Madrid, 1887) created a new town comprising the barrios of Gabi, Dayas and Pilipul (now called Pilipog), all of which are located on the southeastern tip of Mactan Island. Some authors think he chose the name Cordoba which means "stark nakedness and bare", but they do not indicate in what language. The decree of becoming a municipality only became effective in 1864.

However, before being appointed Governor General, in 1858, Rafael Echagüe y Bermingham was representative in the Spanish Congress of Deputies for the province of Cordoba (Spain), so he should have given that name in memory of his previous experiences.

In addition to Spain and the Philippines, there are other cities or provinces named Cordoba, Cordova or Las Cordobas in Argentina, Colombia, USA and Mexico, all of them founded and named by Spanish, in memory of the Spanish Cordoba or the surname/family name of its founders.

Cordova became a municipality in 1864, and from 1913 up to the present, a total of 15 mayors governed the district.

The Cebu–Cordova Link Expressway, which was completed in 2022, connects the town to Cebu City in mainland Cebu. This is the third bridge connecting mainland Cebu to Mactan Island, after the Mactan–Mandaue Bridge and the Marcelo Fernan Bridge, both of which connect the cities of Mandaue in the mainland and Lapu-Lapu City in Mactan.

Geography
Cordova consists of a main island, bordering on and separated from Mactan Island by a narrow stream, as well as the islets of Gilutongan (also spelled Hilutungan), Nalusuan, Shell, Tongo and Lava. The two islets of Gilutongan and Nalusuan are part of the Olango Island Group in the middle of the Cebu Strait. Its land area is 789.6 ha, of which 740.85 ha constitutes the main island and 48.75 ha are outlying islets. Cordova is 18 km from Lapu-Lapu City and 28 km from Cebu City.

Dalaguete

Dalaguete, officially the Municipality of Dalaguete (Lungsod sa Dalaguete; ), is a 1st class municipality in the province of Cebu, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 74,596 people.

Located 84 km south of Cebu City, Dalaguete is bordered to the north by the town of Argao, to the west are the towns of Badian and Alegria, to the east is the Cebu Strait, and to the south is the town of Alcoy.

Dalaguete offers one of the trails to Cebu's highest mountain, the Osmeña Peak.

History
The dalakit (Ficus benjamina) tree is the foundation of the origin and name of Dalaguete. "The natives look upon the tree not for its gigantic size, nor for its fruit which is of no use, but rather for the religious observance of the natives."

They highly consider this tree for their belief that it harbors spirits or diwatas who could impose sickness if maltreated or hand in fortunes and gifts if placated. When fully grown, the intertwining roots are exposed from the earth and form huge caverns that could house several people.

In ancient times, before the coming of the Spaniards, these trees had been used by people as major landmarks. People gathered under the encompassing shades and conduct social and economic activities such as festivities, contest, trading meetings, and other community gatherings. They establish market places under the shades of the dalaket where they sell their products and conduct trade with local roving traders bringing in Chinese and Asiatic goods from the port of Cebu.

The place where the church or the poblacion were laid would have been the site of a communal gathering area for the natives. It was also the abode of a huge dalakit tree which provide shade and shelter while people conduct their activities. ''"Adto ta mag-abot sa dalakit". "Adto ta magtigom-tigom sa dalakit"'' [Let us meet at the dalakit]. These and other phrases were common among locals of centuries past when coming up with an agreement to meet or conduct an activity specifically at the site where the dalakit is situated. For several generations in pre-Hispanic Dalaguete, the area has always been unofficially called as dalakit. Its accessibility and its reputation as a communal area for community gathering have prompted the Spanish authorities to construct the church and eventually establish the area as part of an encomienda. From this common ground, and from this tree, begun the conception of a larger town which later come to be known as Dalaguete.

Land characteristics

 * Land Area: 15496 ha

Liloan

Liloan, officially the Municipality of Liloan (Lungsod sa Liloan; ), is a 1st class municipality in the province of Cebu, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 153,197 people. Liloan lies within Metro Cebu.

Liloan is bordered on the north by the town of Compostela, to the west by Cebu City, on the east by the Camotes Sea, and on the south by the town of Consolacion. It is 18 km from Cebu City.

History
Along its coastline, there is a spot called Silot, where a whirlpool is created by the ebbs and flows of the waters from the bay. This phenomenon is called lilo in Cebuano. Because of this, the town was known as Liloan, meaning "a place where there is a lilo".

Sometime in the 1970s, a newspaper article stated that the "pueblo de Liloan" was separated from the municipality of Mandaue (now Mandaue City), and was created a new municipality in 1840. However, in his "Breve reseña de lo que fue y de lo que es la Diócesis de Cebú en las Islas Filipinas," states that Lilo a was created as a parish in 1845 (in 1995, Lilo a celebrated its sesquicentennial - 150th – anniversary.)

The creation of the municipality of Liloan could have been at the same time the parish was established, but not earlier than its being a parish. As recorded, the first priest of Lilo served in 1845. The term of the first mayor was from 1845 to 1846.

During the war years (World War II), Liloan had three mayors at one time.

Cityhood
House Bill No. 5031 was filed last October 2, 2019, for the conversion of the municipality of Liloan into a component city in the province of Cebu. The bill is currently pending with the committee on local government since November 4, 2019. The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) highlights Liloan to qualify for cityhood under the population requirement of the local government code.

On June 30, 2022, House Bill No. 99 was filed by Rep. Vincent Franco Frasco which seeks to convert the municipality of Liloan into a component city to be known as the City of Liloan.

Barangays
Liloan is politically subdivided into 14 barangays. Each barangay consists of puroks and some have sitios.

Lighthouse
One of the best known landmarks in Liloan is its historic lighthouse at Bagacay Point. The original lighthouse was built in 1857 by the Spanish. The current tower was constructed in 1904 by order of William Howard Taft, the first Governor-General of the Philippines and later the President of the United States. The tower is 72 ft tall and remains in active use today, using solar energy. The lighthouse was declared a National Historical Landmark in 2004 by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (formerly known as National Historical Institute).

Liloan Church (San Fernando Rey Parish Church)

The designer of the church in Liloan is viewed by some as visionary. Despite Liloan having only 5,000 citizens, when the church was constructed in 1847, this local church was even larger than that of Mandaue, Cebu's second largest city.

Pier 88

Pier 88 is a noteworthy maritime terminal situated in the coastal town of Liloan, in the province of Cebu, Philippines. As a gateway connecting the islands of the Central Visayas region: Camotes, LapuLapu city, Cebu City, it plays a vital role in facilitating transport, commerce, and tourism. The Pier was officially inaugurated and opened to the public on May 27, 2023 by Bongbong Marcos. 3d scan of the site was made by private company Data Ops Philippines on the 28-05-2023

Titay's Rosquillos and Delicacies
The making of these little ringlet cookies dates back to 1907, when 21-year-old Margarita Corazon "Titay" Frasco  (single, unmarried) was tinkering in her kitchen with her baking ingredients and made her new culinary creation. Kneading the dough manually and using a wooden eggbeater, some baking tins and a clay oven, she started a product that would put her little town in the national and international map of gastronomic delight. Corazon “Mama Azon” Frasco took over in 1999, suceeded by Gerardo and Panfil Frasco, the third generation.

The market for her unnamed cookie started with her neighbors and passers-by who were offered the snack with a bottle of soda. It was Sergio Osmeña (then Cebu governor, who later became Philippine president), who gave it the name "Rosquillo" after the Spanish word rosca.

The “premium heritage brand” biscuits have been a regular stopover of tourists and locals travelling north of Cebu. The company has withstood the taste of time. It started with just rosquillos and tablea making. It later expanded to an array of homemade delicacies including torta, mamon, monay, otap, CPA (chicken pork adobo), bao-bao, galletas (Bato), galletas (Carmen) and hojaldres.

In 2012, its two-hectare plant in Liloan produces about 3,000 packs of 180 grams Rosquillos daily by 118 workers.

In 2013, the flagship store which produces 360,000 rosquillos a day was tranformed into a café for 45 customers serving penato (peanuts), banana chips and binangkal, among others.

On April 1, 2024, Christina Frasco  with members of her family and Margarita “Margo” Domingo Frasco, Chief operating officer led the groundbreaking of its Poblacion, Liloan 1.3-hectare new factory which will employ to 250 workers. We "assure Titay’s future without sacrificing livelihood,” said Vincent Franco D. Frasco, Titay’s Finance Director.

Rosquillos Festival
Celebrated every last week of May in honor of the town's patron saint, St. Ferdinand III. It celebrates the Rosquillos as the delicacy of Liloan and of Cebu. The 12th Rosquillos festival was held in May 26,2019. The 13th returned from May 20-30, 2023, coinciding with the 176th annual foundation fiesta celebration.

Kleophrades Painter

The Kleophrades Painter is the name given to the anonymous red-figure Athenian vase painter, who was active from approximately 510–470 BC and whose work, considered amongst the finest of the red-figure style, is identified by its stylistic traits.

Name and identity
The name "Kleophrades Painter", given him in 1910 by classicist John Beazley, arises from a potter's inscription Kleophrades on a cup now in the Cabinet des Medailles, Paris; after having had this designation for some time, scholars discovered a pelike, now in Berlin, which has the painter's name Epiktetos inscribed on it, and the painter was for a time designated Epiktetos II, distinguishing him from a contemporary painter of the same name.

However, in 1981 John Boardman demonstrated that the signature on the vase was a modern forgery, and the Kleophrades Painter returned to anonymity. The Kleophrades Painter is thought to be the son of the potter Amasis, and the pupil of Euthymides, as his earliest work greatly resembles that of his master. He himself had pupils, which include the Berlin Painter and also the Boot Painter. Overall, the Kleophrades Painter is recognized as one of the greatest pot painters in the late Archaic period in Athens.

Forms
The Beazley Archive Pottery Database has approximately 227 vases either attributed to, near, or compared with the Kleophrades Painter, and of these 227, 113 are directly attributed to this great painter, although aside from the potter's name on the one pelike, his name is not found anywhere. Although he painted a number of different shapes, the Kleophrades Painter focused mostly on large vases, with the four most common shapes being calyx kraters, hydrias, panathenaic amphorae, and neck amphorae. The provenances of these vases vary, although the great majority are found in Italy. Most of which were sent to Etruria, Vulci, which is now the modern Province of Viterbo. This evidence indicates that many of his vases were intended for export.

Figural subjects and style
Although the Kleophrades Painter was not a member of the Pioneer Group of red-figure painters, it is suggested that he worked in the Pioneer workshop. The Pioneer workshop included Euphronios, Euthymides, Smikros, Hypsias, and the Dikaios Painter. Beazley as well as Michael Padgett believe that Kleophrades not only worked in the Pioneer workshop, but Kleophrades was also trained and taught by Euthymides. Euthymides is older and had a clear influence on Kleophrades based on technique and style. He may have started off his training as a black-figure painter, given that on his earliest vases all of the borders and patterns surrounding the painted scenes are done in black-figure.

In addition to being trained in both black and red-figure, Kleophrades also used the white ground technique. Kleophrades did use it often and when the painter did it was a sub technique of his black-figure works. As he progresses, one side of the vase will have patterns in black figure, and the other in red, until finally, in his later work, all of the borders and patterns are done in red figure. The attribution of the Kleophrades painter’s work is based on the expressive emotions of his characters, and his work is particularly identifiable through study of his painted faces. The eyes of his figures are often drawn rather long and slender, accompanied by strong chins, and a unique way of showing the inner detail of the ear.

Although working primarily in red-figure (apart from the borders and patterns previously mentioned), the Kleophrades Painter completed a number of Panathenaic amphorae, many of which were actually used as prizes. All Panathenaic amphorae, not only those by the Kleophrades Painter, are done in black-figure, and his personal pots show great proficiency in this style. The Panathenaic amphorae by the Kleophrades Painter can be recognized by the representation of Pegasus, the winged horse, on the shield carried by Athena, the manner in which her hair is represented, and the position of the spear behind Athena’s head, as well as the relation of the spear to her face.

The Kleophrades Painter's style is praised for the quality of the draughtsmanship, as well as for the vigorous, robust, and well-proportioned figures that he depicted. His influence has been seen in the work of the Boot Painter and the Troilos Painter. In this latter case, the two artists have decorated vessels apparently by the same potter produced at roughly the same time, making it appear likely that they may have been working in the same workshop.

Madridejos, Cebu

Madridejos, officially the Municipality of Madridejos (Lungsod sa Madridejos; ), is a 4th class municipality in the province of Cebu, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 42,039 people.

It is one of the three municipalities that make up the island of Bantayan, which lies to the west of the northern tip of Cebu. Madridejos is bordered to the north and west by the Visayan Sea, to the east is the town of Daanbantayan and to the south is the town of Bantayan.

There is a light station – LS Madridejos – about 50 m north of the mean highwater mark at Kota point 11.30222°N, 123.72917°W.

History
Lawis was the old name of Madridejos. Even today people still use the name "Lawis", meaning "promontory", the portion carved out to constitute the municipality of Madridejos being the peninsula located on the northern side of Bantayan island facing the Visayan Sea.

During the time of governor Sebastián Hurtado de Corcuera (1635–1644), the Visayas were continually harassed by the Moros, who wreaked dreadful havoc, capturing, massacring, robbing, sacking churches, and burning everything there was.

The kota (cota or cuta = fort) also built in 1630. Blowing of the budyong served as signal of the coming of the Moros. A watch tower was built in Kaongkod, a barrio about 4 km from the fort. It is the place from where the approach of the Moros could easily be seen, to give a timely warning to the townsfolk of their coming. All watchtowers on Bantayan were built by Fr. Doroteo Andrada del Rosario, parish priest of Bantayan in the 19th century (Moro attacks were worst around 1840s).

The general scenery of Lawis was that of a quiet place, of virgin grounds covered by small shrubs and lantana. When more people discovered Lawis and flocked to it, the place became a visita.

In 1917 the pueblo Lawis became a municipality named Madridejos. This was the name given to the third town of Bantayan island in honour of Benito Romero de Madridejos the former archbishop of Cebu. The town's feast day is celebrated annually on 8 December.

Immaculate Conception parish church
In the year 1600s, before Madridejos was made into a town, there was a barrio called Lawis at the tip of Bantayan island. In this barrio was a chapel built by the Augustinians who also built the parish church of Bantayan in the year 1580.

The chapel was located within the Spanish fort near the seashore. Inside the chapel, there was a framed picture of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception which was the object of devotion and before which the Holy Rosary was prayed every afternoon. Once a month and during church feasts, the chapel was visited by the priest of Bantayan to say mass and celebrate its annual feast.

In the 1700s there was an image of La Virgen Purisima carved in the Island from batikuling wood. It was 16 in tall and was placed on the altar of the first chapel built by the Augustinian priests near the seashore of barrio Lawis. Folklore say there would be times when the clothes of the image were wet and damp although there was no rain, and was full of amorseko (crab grass) – a kind of weed in the fields. During the time of the El Tor epidemic a beautiful lady was observed ministering to the sick mountain folks.

Since olden times, every October the Virgin is brought in a fluvial [sic] procession and the Holy Rosary is prayed. The feast was celebrated every eight day of December, until Lawis became a parish in the year 1928.

Second World War

 * 1942 - occupation by Japanese Imperial forces.
 * 1945 - liberation by the Philippine Commonwealth troops of the 3rd, 8th, 82nd & 83rd Infantry Divisions of the Philippine Commonwealth Army which landed in Madridejos at the front of battles against Japanese forces in the Battle of Bantayan. The built of the general headquarters of the Philippine Commonwealth Army was stationed in Madridejos and active from 1945 to 1946 during and after the war.

Barangays
Madridejos is politically subdivided into 14 barangays. Each barangay consists of puroks and some have sitios.

Economy
The main industries of Madridejos are fishing, poultry and tourism.

Because of its rich fishing grounds, Madridejos earned the name of "Little Alaska of the Philippines": the first canning factory in the country was established here, but it lost its sustaining impact in the history of the municipality after it was bombed during World War II. At present, poultry-raising is a growing industry and Madridejos provides a substantial quantity of eggs produced for sale to the neighboring provinces.

Madridejos also hosts a fairly substantial tertiary college – Salazar College.

Transportation
Madridejos can be reached by boat from Cebu City via Santa Fe with 75-minutes ferry service to San Remigio (Hagnaya) via Island Shipping or SuperShuttle Ferry and also via Ceres bus from North Bus Terminal to Madridejos Vice-Versa. Bus (jeepney) travel to Madridejos via the municipality of Bantayan takes about a further hour.

There are currently NO overnight boats from Cebu City to Bantayan Island, nor are there any scheduled commercial air flights. Private air companies occasionally fly smaller Cessna and Piper aircraft into Bantayan Airport.

Media
There are two radio stations:
 * DYRV-FM News Patrol 99.9 MHz
 * Radyo Natin DYEE-FM 102.9 MHz

Uncut (magazine)

Uncut is a monthly magazine based in London. It is available across the English-speaking world, and focuses on music, but also includes film and books sections. A DVD magazine under the Uncut brand was published quarterly from 2005 to 2006. The magazine was acquired in 2019 by Singaporean music company BandLab Technologies, and was published by NME Networks from December 2021. to August 2023, when the brand was sold to Kelsey Media.

Uncut (main magazine)
Uncut was launched in May 1997 by IPC as "a monthly magazine aimed at 25- to 45-year-old men that focuses on music and movies", edited by Allan Jones (former editor of Melody Maker). Jones has stated that "[t]he idea for Uncut came from my own disenchantment about what I was doing with Melody Maker. There was a publishing initiative to make the audience younger; I was getting older and they wanted to take the readers further away from me", specifically referring to the then dominant Britpop genre.

According to IPC Media, 86% of the magazine's readers are male and their average age is 37 years.

Uncut's contents include lengthy features on old albums, interviews with film directors, music and film news, and reviews of all major new album, film and DVD releases. Its music features tend to focus on genres such as Americana, rock and alternative country. Each month, the magazine includes a free CD, which may include both new and older music. Special Issues have covered U2, Radiohead, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, the Byrds, David Bowie, Demon Records, Eric Clapton, John Lennon, Pink Floyd, Queen, Martin Scorsese, Motown Records, Morrissey, George Harrison, Jimmy Page, Led Zeppelin, the Beach Boys, Paul McCartney, Neil Young, the Beatles, Elvis Costello, the Kinks, Fleetwood Mac and more.

Uncut underwent a radical redesign in May 2006, as a result of which the magazine no longer catered for books and reduced its film content.

Jones writes a regular monthly column, recounting stories from his long career in music journalism.

Uncut's monthly circulation dropped from over 90,000 in 2007 to 47,890 in the second half of 2015.

In 2019, TI Media, successor to IPC, sold NME and Uncut to Singaporean company BandLab Technologies. BandLab Technologies became the Caldecott Music Group in 2021 and split itself into three sub-units called BandLab Technologies, Vista Musical Instruments and NME Networks, with the latter group continuing to publish Uncut. In May 2023, NME Networks sold Uncut's print and digital assets to Kelsey Media, publisher of car magazines like Car Mechanics, Motorsport News and Fast Car, and farming titles like Crop Production Magazine, Practical Pigs and '' The Smallholder. The first copy of Uncut published under Kelsey Media was the September 2023 issue (Take 317) in August, with the magazine still being sold in shops with its Now Playing compilation CD.

The Ultimate Music Guide
Uncut often produces themed spin-off titles celebrating the career of one artist. This series is now known as The Ultimate Music Guide, but was initially known as Uncut Legends. The series started in 2003 with an inaugural issue devoted to Bob Dylan, edited by Nigel Williamson (though the majority of titles that followed were produced by magazine editor Chris Hunt), followed by magazines entirely devoted to Radiohead, Kurt Cobain, U2, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Waits and John Lennon (with the Lennon magazine being produced to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the death of the former member of the Beatles).

Since the series was rebranded as The Ultimate Music Guide, artists such as Kraftwerk, Wilco, Creedence Clearwater Revival, the Fall and Talking Heads have been featured, with updated and expanded versions of earlier guides also released as Deluxe Editions (for example Lennon: 80th Birthday Edition or PJ Harvey's guide which came out again as a '30th Anniversary Edition' in June 2021).

In 2021, Uncut launched more spin-offs including The Complete Bob Dylan and The Beatles – Miscellany & Atlas, the latter being a publication typeset in the style of Schott's Miscellany.

The History of Rock
In 2015, The History of Rock (using a title previously used for an Orbis Publishing partwork) was launched as a spin-off from Uncut. The new magazine would cover the key events in rock history by year, starting in 1965 and continuing to the present day (though the series was never completed). The History of Rock reproduced contemporary articles that had originally appeared in the music publications of IPC Magazines, with articles from Melody Maker and the NME (used for the period 1965 to 1990) joined by articles from Vox and Uncut in later issues.

Ultimate Genre Guide
Another spin-off to Bandlab's Ultimate Music Guide is the Ultimate Genre Guide, which takes an in depth look at a particular music style. Magazines in this series include 2021's Ultimate Genre Guide to Shoegaze which features articles about The Jesus and Mary Chain, Lush and My Bloody Valentine, as well as issues devoted to Punk, Glam and Soul In July 2023, the latest Ultimate Genre Guide was published, a title devoted to Goth which featured articles on the Cure, Nick Cave and cover star Siouxsie.

Uncut DVD
In late 2005, editor Allan Jones and publishing director Andrew Sumner launched a spin-off of the main movies and music magazine, that focused its attention on DVD releases of classic movies. Billed as "the only great movie magazine", Uncut DVD was designed to compete with such established titles as Ultimate DVD, DVD Review and DVD Monthly. Despite strong reviews in the UK trade press, Uncut DVD folded after three quarterly issues.

Uncut Music Award
In 2008, Uncut launched its inaugural Uncut Music Award; this is described as "a quest to find the most inspiring and rewarding musical experience of the past year". A list of 25 nominees is selected by a panel of 10 judges, who are all musicians or music industry professionals, and they come together to decide a winner. Past winners have included Fleet Foxes (2008), Tinariwen (2009), Paul Weller (2010) and P.J. Harvey (2011).

Medellin, Cebu

Medellin, officially the Municipality of Medellin (Lungsod sa Medellin; ), is a 1st class municipality in the province of Cebu, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 59,605 people.

Medellin is one of the nine municipalities comprising the 4th Congressional District Cebu Province. It is 119 km north from Cebu City.

Medellin is bordered on the north by the town of Daanbantayan, to the west by the Tañon Strait, on the east by the Camotes Sea, on the southwest by the town of San Remigio and the southeast by the city of Bogo.

History
The name Medellin is of Spanish origin and refers to the village with the same name in the Badajoz province of Extremadura in Spain. Medellin became a municipality by royal decree of Queen Isabel II of Spain on September 9, 1881.

Medellin was formerly part of Daanbantayan. As a town, it started with only 3 barangays, namely; Kawit and Buenavista on the west coast, and Tindog on the east coast. Kawit, being the biggest and most progressive barangay at that time, became the first seat of government.

Due to its deep shore water, the area was prone to pirates. As a consequence, the seat of government was then transferred to Buenavista (Daanlungsod). However, in view of its shallow shore water, traders and merchants found it difficult to transport their wares to and from Buenavista. A distance away south of Buenavista, there was a place called Tawagan which was an ideal site for trade and commerce. When the seat of government was transferred to Tawagan, the new poblacion was then called Medellin.

Barangays
Medellin is politically subdivided into 19 barangays. Each barangay consists of puroks and some have sitios.

Economy
The principal source of livelihood among locals is Fishing and Farming while Tourism plays a promising future. Large tracts of land were engage in cultivating Sugarcane hence the tagged as the "Sugar Bowl of Cebu". A sugar milling company BOMEDCO is still operating since it was founded in the year 1928. Its mill is located in Barangay Luy-a, Medellin, Cebu. The principal product of the company is raw sugar.

A big event in Minglanilla is the Sugat, which attracts not people from adjacent towns as well as from Cebu city and further afield. On Black Saturday night, a public dance is held at the church plaza to witness the reenactment of the "meeting" of the risen Christ and his mother. Their images, borne on richly decorated carrozas, meet amidst joyous songs and the presence of child angels suspended by wires. The Kabanhawan (Cebuano for "Resurrection") festival is held annually on Easter Sunday.

History
Father Sanchez, Minglanilla's first parish priest, is credited as the founder of the town in 1858. The roads and bridges were built by the same Fr. Sanchez together with Fr. Magaz. There were a number of capitanes who headed the town during the Spanish era. The first capitan was Hilario Castañares. During the American regime the first was Canuto Larrobis. The first elected municipal mayor was Gregorio de la Calzada.

Buat was the former name of Minglanilla. It was the place where early settlers dried (buad/buat) their sea catches. But in 1858, it was renamed by Fr. Sanchez after a municipality called Minglanilla in Castilla–La Mancha, Spain.

The town suffered setbacks, among them during the Philippine Revolution of 1896-1898 when insurrectos burned down its municipal building and looted many houses. This event is remembered by a street named 18 de Julio (July 18). In 1942, its poblacion was razed to the ground by the Japanese in retaliation for the presence of the guerrillas in the town.

Economy
Minglanilla is a part of the Cebu metropolitan area.

It is primarily a residential town, with most of its population commuting to Cebu City for work. Owing to its close location to Cebu City, which is only 15 km away from the municipality, it hosts many subdivisions.

Prior to its suburbanization, Minglanilla's primary industry were agriculture and fishing. However, since the 2000s, when the municipality saw developments trickle down from Cebu City due to the city's own economic boom, the municipality has shifted into having a more service-driven economy.

Anjo World Theme Park is located in Barangay Calajo-an. It is the first amusement park in Cebu, and is located in the larger Belmont One development, which hosts a supermarket, a hardware, restaurants, among other retail components, also located within Barangay Calajo-an.

The Minglanilla Techno-Business Park is a 100 ha development which will be built on reclaimed land along the coast of the municipality's Tulay and Calajo-an barangays. It is envisioned primarily to host light industries, but also to other mixed-use developments as well, and is scheduled for completion by 2024.

Annually held every Easter Sunday, the occasion primarily focuses on the reenactment of the meeting of the Risen Christ and the Sorrowful Mother – followed by a string of activities and events scheduled to take place throughout the day. As one of the biggest annually celebrated occasions of the municipality, the festival takes a direct translation in celebrating Christ's resurrection, with street dancing, a wide assortment of day games, and entertainment features. Essentially a socio-religious event, celebrations have played the role of host to a diverse range of organized contests, competitions, and games, including a carabao race, a Burda-making contest (Burda = embroidery), and a mud volleyball tournament. Easter-egg hunts also are part of Sugat-Kabanhawan festivals, just as the street dancing and the ritual showdown have become mainstay staples of the festival's overall program flow.
