The Oldest City in the Philippines

Cebu was founded in 1565 as the first Spanish settlement in the Philippines, and the cross Magellan planted in 1521 is still displayed there — encased in tindalo wood, because pilgrims kept chipping pieces off the original.

The clock: Cebu keeps UTC+8. The Philippines briefly skipped 31 December 1844 entirely to switch from the American side of the date line to the Asian side.
