Taoism, aka Daoism, believes that there is a strong force that guides us in our lives. Based on the writings of Lao Tzu, this religion follows “Living according to the way” focusing on humility and piety. This driving force guided the Cebuano Chinese community to build the biggest worship center of the religion at the mountainside subdivision of Beverly Hills, Lahug. This sanctuary now stands as the Cebu Taoist Temple, the pagoda shrine that has become one of the island’s biggest tourist attractions.
Teodorico Adarna has done one of the craziest things in the name of love. The most over-the-top act you can think of pales in comparison to his dedication to his significant half.

Above a forest of trees stands the Temple of Leah, an architectural marvel that proves actions speak louder than words.

Under the supervision of the Augustinian convent, it has stored the original image of the island’s patron for half a millennium.
