Cebu Daily News:
Cebu is a sultry paradise and business haven in one, being a fully developed and contemporary metropolis which serves as the hub of growth and progress in Southern Philippines. Aside from its gorgeous beaches and all year round tropical climate, posh accommodations, Cebu also boasts of native and world class cuisines and a vibrant nightlife. A 33,000-hectare metropolis of three cities and six municipalities Cebu consists of a population of around one million mix of Filipinos with Chinese, American and European influences. The main vernacular is Bisaya or Cebuano, although both English and Tagalog are also widely spoken and understood. World class indeed, the recently-expanded and modernized Mactan International Airport services flights from around the globe. It thus enables Cube to maintain its role as the primary junction of international trade in southern Philippines. Cebu is best visited between December and May when the weather
turns dry. It is coolest from December to February and warmest from March
to May, and it starts to get rainy in July to August. Daily flights to
Cebu are available from Manila to the Mactan International Airport.
Mainland Cebu is made up of five cities; Cebu, Mandaue, Danao, Lapulapu and Toledo and 48 smaller towns. 167 islets and islands encircle the city, most of which have fine white sand and pristine blue waters. These islands are a popular destination for divers from experienced to first-timers. Often called the "Seat of Christianity in the Philippines"
or the “Queen City of the South”, Cebu is the country's oldest
city where Ferdinand Magellan first planted the famous cross on her shores.
One could clearly see a rich historic past all around the island. Call Centers in Cebu have contributed alot to the city's economy, making it highly comparable to Manila. Except probably for the cheap food and the famous cebu lechon, as well as shopping at bargain prices all year round. Cebu Lechon - Philippines Roast Pig.
