T. PADILLA STREET
The T. Padilla Street passes through the Lahug River from Sikatuna and ends in Martires. The Street was named after Father Toribio Padilla who was the brother of the Katipunan Vice-President in Cebu, Candido Padilla. He was a generous parish priest of the old Cebu Cathedral from 1893 to 1898. When war broke out on April 3, 1898, all priests were asked to take shelter at the fort. However, Fr. Padilla refused and opted to stay at the convent alone. He was placed by the Spaniards under house arrest at the Colegio Seminario de San Carlos after being suspected as a Katipunero chaplain here in Cebu.
