Philippines
Queen City of the South
Garborne Tutorials
Often called the "Queen City of the South" and the Seat of Christianity in the Philippines, Cebu is the country's oldest city. Exploring Cebu City , one encounters a rich historic past. Cebuano are extremely proud of their cultural and historial heritage, a legacy which has endured through the centuries from the time the great explorer Ferdinand Maagellan first planted the cross on Cebu's shore.
Time has been kind to Cebu. From Zubu, the fishing village and the busy trading port in 1521 has evolved a highly urbanized metropolitan center which now serves as a focal point of growth and development in Southern Philippines. With its 6 cities; Cebu , Danao , Lapu-lapu , Mandaue , Toledo and Talisay; and it's 47 smaller towns. Cebu has more than kept pace with the nation's progress. Today , the island province leads in the traditional and non-traditional exports and has the highest economic growth rate anywhere in the country. Likewise , recent indications point out that Cebu has become the country's most favourite tourist destination.
Cebu's strategic location makes it ideal for those who wish to travel to the other islands and provinces. By boat, plane or bus, nowhere could be too far from Cebu.
