Q-PARK
Q-PARK @ Compostela, CEBU
The 200-hectare complex located in Compostela is a project of the family of Norberto Quisumbing, Jr. and the Norkis Group. Has a Boy’s Camp, a Girl’s Camp, a rest area, the Nativity Cave, the Stations of the Cross and a Heroes Hill. Open free to the public daily from about 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.
In its anahaw-roofed kiosk are life-size portraits of Philippine presidents and Filipino statesmen. Surrounding the center of the kiosk is a pond full of koi, for “an ecological ambiance.”
The latter, about a hectare in size, is the only place that is open only by invitation or by request and in its space is a tribute to the unknown soldiers, the OFWs, the awardees of the Filipino Foundation from 1986-2003.
The lazy way to get there is by request, because this means park superintendent Rudy V. Enriquez and project engineer Victor Maldo will be around to guide you.
- One gets to Q Park by going from Cebu City, north to Compostela. Somewhere in Barangay Magay, to one’s left, is a sign that points to Q Park.
- One enters this road and, after traveling about five kilometers, one sees the entrance of Q Park. It’s a steep, uphill climb to Heroes’ Hill from where Enriquez and Maldo take you around the park in a four-wheel drive golf cart.
- They take you downhill, pointing out the road up to the Boys and Girls’ camps, and coming to a small, tree-lined clearing we stop. Here, from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday, Holy Mass will be said at 3 p.m. (except Holy Thursday and Holy Saturday).
