FOR centuries, Colon Street in Cebu City has been recognized as the oldest street in the Philippines, a claim reinforced by two historical markers installed by the Philippine Historical Committee in 1961 and 1999.The markers indicate that Colon Street is the oldest street in the Philippines.

The postcard featured the Parian section of Calle Colon, labeled “Oldest Street in Cebu,” with a photo by American soldier Dean Curran Tatom, who had returned to Cebu that year to reopen his photo studio.The postcard quickly gained popularity, especially among US soldiers stationed at Warwick Barracks.By 1913-17, another Cebu-based photo studio, L.G. Joseph, printed postcards of Colon, now claiming it as the “Oldest Street in the Philippines.
