ONE of the reasons Vanessa Ammann joined Binibining Cebu 2018 is to continue protecting Carcar’s culture and
heritage.
Ammann wears the sash for Carcar, which has the most preserved old Spanish Colonial homes in Cebu called
as “Pueblo.”
“The ‘Pueblo’ is still intact, and it is where you can find the oldest school in Cebu Province, dated 1905, across the old town hall,” she said.
Carcar is also known for blacksmithing and shoemaking industries, as well as popular delicacies such as chicharon, ampao, and bocarillo.
