MANALILI STREET

Manalili sreet is located near Plaridel Street and Magallanes.  It is one of the places in Cebu City where you can buy stuffs like shirts, dresses and accessories for very affordable prices. Usually, during daytime, this street is filled with people because they go to this area to buy things that they need for low prices.

This street was named after Don Solomon Manalili who was born to a rich family in Cebu. When hostilities broke out between the Cebuanos and the Spaniards, Manalili was assigned by Gen. Maxilom to the Guadalupe sector of the local insurgency movement.

His death under the hands of the Spaniards had been shrouded in mystery. Some believed that he was taken to Tuburan and killed in front of the churchyard. Others said that Spanish captors made him dig his own grave.
