Ka Bino Guerrero | History on Foot

He wore a fusion of the new and the old: a white barong, jeans, and black shoes. With his cane and native hat, he looked like a gallant sage. When I asked him to find a position he was most comfortable, it did not take him long to find one. He squared his shoulders and looked contemplative with his gaze fixed somewhere. Balbino Pada “Ka Bino” Guerrero Jr. is a character: the one that belongs to streets of Cebu.

Perhaps this is the very reason his name resonates in the tour guiding industry. He knows his craft.

For this Negrense by birth and Cebuano by choice, tour guiding is not a mere act of going around rather it is a walk down the aisle of history and a walk to the road of learning and understanding our collective past.
