April 3, 2017
119 years ago today, our brave Cebuano heroes, shouted in triumph, “Mabuhi ang Katipunan!”, “Mabuhi ang Pilipinas!” as they defeated Spanish guns with the lowly but powerful sundang kun pinuti.  After its soft opening early last year, what better date to grandly open this hotel, Palm Grass, Cebu’s only heritage hotel, than the anniversary of the triumphant commencement of the Cebu Revolution against Spain.  A project of the Guivelondo-Blanco family, PALM GRASS The Cebu Heritage Hotel is a tribute to the bravery and sacrifice of all our Cebuano ancestors who dared to dream, and dared to fight for a free Cebu and free Philippines.

Our mother, Caridad Tan-Guivelondo shares the surname of Don Isidro Guivelondo, a Spanish Mestizo lawyer, an ilustrado, who was one of the early conspirators of the Cebu Revolution against Spain. It was in Don Isidro’s house that a major Katipunan organization meeting was held to plan the Tres de Abril uprising.  Our father, Mamerto Arcilla Blanco also shared with us about the Blanco Katipuneros who escaped from the Guardia Civil through the esteros of Colon. More than 2,500 Cebuano Katipuneros fought in that Battle of Tres de Abril 119 years ago. Today, we honor them through this celebration, Engrandeng Pag-abri sa Palm Grass.

Palm Grass is more than a hotel. Named after a local weed which commonly grows in Cebu and which has witnessed history as it unfolded; now, Palm Grass as a hotel retells the story of the richness of Cebu culture and history. Palm Grass is more than a hotel. We want everyone who visit and stay at Palm Grass, to be inspired of how our heroes were able to renew Cebu society. Palm Grass also continues the legacy of Don Isidro Guivelondo, who hosted in his house a very big and significant meeting on April 2, 1898 which gathered Katipunan leaders from all over the Cebu province. Leon Kilat and other Katipuneros also rested, spent the night, and had breakfast at Don Isidro’s house! Indeed, hospitality and guest satisfaction at its finest!

Today, when you go inside Palm Grass, you are greeted by security guards dressed in the Katipunan uniform designed by Juan Luna; with the replica of the vistidora worn by Andres Bonifacio and Leon Kilat. You will read some 300 names of Cebu heroes on our walls. Our floors and suite rooms; and even our bestseller dishes and drinks are a tribute to our heroes.  We thank everyone who has contributed to our lofty vision of promoting Cebu heritage. We are most grateful to the local and foreign historians who tirelessly researched on Cebu’s brave past; our local artists, architects, engineers, suppliers, construction workers, employees, descendants of Cebu Katipuneros, and everyone who shared their time, talent, and sweat.
