About this audio guide
This guide to Museo Sugbo in Cebu City starts inside the old provincial jail, with the stone of its walls and the question of where it came from. It follows the prisoners of the eighteen nineties, the rulers who took the building over one after another, and a well turned up by workers in the cellblocks. Best heard standing in a corridor with a hand on the wall.
