Quo Vadis, Cebu politics?
The Freeman
|March 12, 2026
There was a Congress when three senators from Cebu dominated the debates, deliberations and decision-making, Sonny, Serge and Boy Herrera. Sonny was the eloquent expert in political matters, Serge, the master of economics, finance, agriculture and trade, and Boy on labor, social and cultural issues. Today, there is no Cebuano in the Senate and the House members from Cebu are notoriously meek as lambs and never even say a word of eloquence and wit.
2nd Congress from 1950 to 1953 with our own Mariano Jesus Cuenco as Senate President, the other senator from Cebu was Manuel Briones.
In the 3rd Congress with Eulogio Rodriguez as SP, and Manuel Briones as Pro Temp, the other senator was Mariano Jesus Cuenco. Those were the days when the Senate was not complete without a great Cebuano senator or even two.
