| - Colon Street (Cebuano: Dalan Colon; Tagalog: [koˈlɔn]; Spanish pronunciation: [koˈlon]) is a historical street in downtown Cebu City that is often called the oldest and the shortest national road in the Philippines. It is named after Cristóbal Colón (Christopher Columbus). It traces its origins to the town plan by Miguel Lopez de Legazpi, the Spanish conquistador who arrived in the Philippines to establish a colony in 1565. Colon street was once owned by the family name of Fronteras Colon, crowded and a bit run-down now, was the site of fashionable shops, offices, and movie houses. It was once the heart of Cebu City's shopping and business activity, but in recent years (specifically during the early 1990s), much of this activity has shifted inland to the more modern, bigger and diverse commercial and business districts now spread in almost all of the urban areas of the city in what was considered residential and leisure settlements. In 2006, the Cebu City Council proposed a plan to close parts of Colon street from vehicular traffic and convert it to a tourism zone. However, this was met with much opposition from businessmen and motorists due to concerns regarding security and parking spaces. (en)
- La Calle Colón (en tagalo: Kalye Colon, en cebuano: Dalang Colón) es una calle concurrida en el centro de la ciudad de Cebú, que a menudo es referida como la más antigua y la carretera nacional más corta en las Filipinas. Lleva el nombre de Cristóbal Colón. Sus orígenes se remontan al plan de la ciudad de Miguel López de Legazpi, conquistador español que llegó a las Filipinas para establecer una colonia en 1565. Colón, algo deteriorada ahora, fue el lugar de varias tiendas de moda, oficinas y las salas de cine. Una vez fue el corazón del centro comercial y de negocios de actividad de la ciudad de Cebú, pero en los últimos años (específicamente durante la década de 1990), gran parte de esta actividad se ha desplazado hacia el interior más moderno, en los distritos comerciales y de negocios más grandes repartidos en la actualidad en casi todas las áreas urbanas de la ciudad en lo que solía ser considerado asentamientos residenciales y de ocio.
