Have you ever been to Cebu?  |

| Hi to all MyLotters. I am actually from Cebu and this is one of the best provinces here in the Philippines. Cebu is one of the most developed provinces here in the Philippines and got a lot of tourist and historical spots as well. Cebu is the second major city in the Philippines next to Manila. For Filipinos, Cebu is an avenue of opportunity be in it in terms of employment, business, or education. It's economic and technical side is improving gradually. Though Cebu is a major city, it is also the most ideal place to stay. It's cost of living is not much compared to Manila and it's progress is way much better than other major cities in the Philippines, a perfect and neutral combination. Tourist and historical spots are also abound in Cebu. Magellan's Cross is probably the most known landmark of the province and is also known nationally and internationally as well. It is the mark of Filipino Christianity where a Spaniard named Ferdinand Magellan planted a cross when they arrived in Cebu. The Basilica Minore de Sto. Niño is one of the known churches in the Philippines. It is the home of Cebu's patron saint Sr. Sto. Niño which in English means the "Baby Jesus". A little further from Cebu City is the Lapu Lapu shrine. It is in commemoration of a local hero Lapu Lapu who led the indigenous people to an uprising against Magellan and the invading Spaniards. Lapu Lapu and the locals won and killed Magellan. Beaches are some of the spots that Cebu boasts off. The Mactan island have a stretch of beaches with some being highly developed and some just having the feel of nature. Among the known beaches are Cebu White Sands, Portofino Resort, and Plantation Bay. There's also the getting known Bantayan Island where, in my opinion, is the cheapest place to stay. Though it's not yet highly developed, the feel of nature is great there. Not much noise and fresh seafoods are abound. There are also a lot of shopping malls and department stores in Cebu. SM and Ayala Malls are the most popular ones. All in all, Cebu's got a 9/10 rating for me. For those who haven't been to Cebu yet, it's really worth the try for a vacation. | | | | | |

| | I've been to Cebu several times, sometimes for work and sometimes for pleasure. Although I agree with you on some level, but I found Cebu to be too hot as it has lost a lot of its forest cover. The one that does it for me is actually Puerto Princesa. It has awesome natural resources, slow pace of life and very low cost of living. I know other people like Cebu better though because it has a night life. A decade or so ago I would have agreed with them. Nowadays, the night life gives me a headache. Getting old... | | | | | | |

| | I've been to cebu once but due to some unavoidable reasons. i was on my way to cagayan de oro then but due to bad weather, the plane we're boarding was unable to land. The pilot decided to land the plane in Mactan instead. It was an exciting trip although a bit of a hassle since we have to ride a van to the pier to catch a boat to Mindanao if we don't want to go back to metro manila on the same plane. I'm sure cebu would be a nice place to visit if you have enough time to go sight seeing. My experienced that time was not something worthy to reminisce about since my view was limited inside a cramped van. The weather was not good either and it was already dusk when we reached the pier. But the plane ride and the turbulence was quite an experience. | | | | | | |

| | Wow! I'm so glad to know that you are from Cebu too. Well, I grew up in Cebu too specifically in Sibonga. How I love the beautiful beaches from North to South. I miss everything about Cebu. I've been away from home for almost 5 months now and hope that I could go home next year and spend my vacation in my hometown. | | | | | | |

| | Cebu is one of the places I am dying to see. I have been to Boracay but I have heard Cebu has a lot of things to offer as well. I wanted to see the famous landmarks like Basilica Minore del Santo Nino, Fort San Pedro, Lapu Lapu Shrine, Magellan's Cross, Magellan Shrine and Taoist Temple. We were supposed to go to Cebu last year but to unavoidable circumstances, we didn't. Hopefully, the postponed Cebu trip would push through before the year comes to end. I want to stay in one of the resorts at Bantayan Island with hubby. :) | | | | | | |
