Liloan

{{Unreferenced section|date=January 2009}}

Along its coastline, there is a spot called Silot, where a whirlpool is created by the ebbs and flows of the waters from the bay. This phenomenon is called lilo in Cebuano. Because of this, the town was known as Liloan, meaning "a place where there is a lilo".

Sometime in the 1970s, a newspaper article stated that the "pueblo de Lilo{{nbhyph}}an" was separated from the municipality of Mandaue (now Mandaue City), and was created a new municipality in 1840. However, in his "Breve reseña de lo que fue y de lo que es la Diócesis de Cebú en las Islas Filipinas," {{harvp|Redondo|1886}} states that Lilo{{nbhyph}} a was created as a parish in 1845 (in 1995, Lilo{{nbhyph}} a celebrated its sesquicentennial - 150th – anniversary.)

The creation of the municipality of Lilo{{nbhyph}}an could have been at the same time the parish was established, but not earlier than its being a parish. As recorded, the first priest of Lilo{{nbhyph}} served in 1845. The term of the first mayor was from 1845 to 1846.

During the war years (World War II), Lilo{{nbhyph}}an had three mayors at one time.

Liloan is bordered on the north by the town of Compostela, to the west by Cebu City, on the east by the Camotes Sea, and on the south by the town of Consolacion. It is {{convert|18|km}} from Cebu City. Liloan lies within Metro Cebu.

Liloan is politically subdivided into 14 barangays. Each barangay consists of puroks and some have sitios.

One of the best known landmarks in Lilo{{nbhyph}}an is its historic lighthouse at Bagacay Point. The original lighthouse was built in 1857 by the Spanish. The current tower was constructed in 1904 by order of William Howard Taft,[https://web.archive.org/web/20110516133318/http://www.lighthousedepot.com/lite_digest.asp?action=get_article&sk=2170 Philippines' Light to Get Makeover] the first Governor-General of the Philippines and later the President of the United States.

The designer of the church in Liloan is viewed by some as visionary. Despite Liloan having only 5,000 citizens, when the church was constructed in 1847, this local church was even larger than that of Mandaue, Cebu's second largest city.

Pier 88 File:Pier 88, Liloan City, Province of Cebu.jpg

Pier 88 is a noteworthy maritime terminal situated in the coastal town of Liloan, in the province of Cebu, Philippines. As a gateway connecting the islands of the Central Visayas region: Camotes, LapuLapu city, Cebu City, it plays a vital role in facilitating transport, commerce, and tourism.

The making of these little ringlet cookies dates back to 1907, when 21-year-old Margarita Corazon "Titay" Frasco (single, unmarried) was tinkering in her kitchen with her baking ingredients and made her new culinary creation. Kneading the dough manually and using a wooden eggbeater, some baking tins and a clay oven, she started a product that would put her little town in the national and international map of gastronomic delight. Corazon “Mama Azon” Frasco took over in 1999, succeeded by Gerardo and Panfil Frasco, the third generation.

The market for her unnamed cookie started with her neighbors and passers-by who were offered the snack with a bottle of soda. It was Sergio Osmeña (then Cebu governor, who later became Philippine president), who gave it the name "Rosquillo" after the Spanish word rosca.

The “premium heritage brand” biscuits have been a regular stopover of tourists and locals travelling north of Cebu. The company has withstood the taste of time. It started with just rosquillos and tablea making.{{efn|1= pure cacao beans that are dried, roasted, ground and then formed into tablets}} It later expanded to an array of homemade delicacies including torta, mamon, monay, otap, CPA (chicken pork adobo), bao-bao, galletas (Bato), galletas (Carmen) and hojaldres.

In 2012, its two-hectare plant in Liloan produces about 3,000 packs of 180 grams Rosquillos daily by 118 workers.{{cite news |last1=Dagooc |first1= Ehda |title=Titay's to boost foothold in Phl delicacy market|url=https://www.philstar.com/the-freeman/cebu-business/2012/12/14/885933/titays-boost-foothold-phl-delicacy-market |accessdate=May 13, 2024 |publisher= The Philippine Star|date=December 14, 2012}}{{cite news |last1= Garcia-Yap|first1=Aileen |title=How Titay's cookies became a pasalubong favorite|url= https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/325467/how-titays-cookies-became-a-pasalubong-favorite|accessdate=May 13, 2024 |publisher= Philippine Daily Inquirer|date=December 17, 2012}}
