CEBU - a Virtual Paradise
Cebu is now considered the most important trading and commercial hub outside Metro Manila. Strongly entrepreneurial, Cebu is a sophisticated metropolis with the charms of an island destination. Shopping, dining and entertainment complement the other facets of the Queen City of the South: a world-class export industry for such products like furniture, gifts, toys and fruits (mango), special economic zones, IT Parks, central business districts, educational and medical institutions all help to make Cebu one of the premiere cities in Asia.
Today, Cebu leads in traditional and non-traditional exports and has the highest economic growth rate anywhere in the country. The people of Cebu are known to be pioneering and innovative businessmen. Cebu International Airport in Mactan Island facilitates comfortable and easy movement for travelers. The number of weekly international flights to and from Mactan is constantly increasing. To date, Cebu has regular direct international flights to Singapore, Hongkong, Narita (Japan), Kota Kinabalu, Seoul and Qatar. There is also a steady stream of chartered flights from Incheon, Taipei, kansai, Nagoya and Kaoshiung.
Cebu has a relatively moderate climate that makes it highly attractive tourist destination. It is blessed to be at the center of Negros Island, Leyte, Bohol and Samar and other various Islands that cushion the impact of bad weather conditions, the reason why Cebu is very rarely affected by strong typhoons. While Luzon areas as well as Samar islands down to Mindanao are battered by strong winds during typhoons, Cebu in most cases remain calm with tolerable winds and weather conditions.
Cebu is a Philippine province located in the Visayas group of islands. Cebu lies to the east of Negros Island; to the east of Cebu is Leyte; to Cebu's southeast is Bohol province. Flanked on both sides by the Cebu Strait (between Cebu and Bohol) and Tañon Strait (between Cebu and Negros), Cebu registers 9°25'N and 11°15'N latitude and 123°13'E and 124°5'E longitude.
Topography. Cebu is famous for its being a tropical island of exceptional beauty, made even more prominent by its narrow coastlines, stunning limestone plateaus, and massive coastal plains. With verdant rolling hills and breathtaking mountain ranges running along the northern and southern lengths of the island, Cebu boasts of natural beauty that remains spectacular despite the advent of urban areas within the island.
Electricity. The Leyte Geothermal Power Plant powers the majority of the Visayas Islands, including Cebu City. Coal-fired power plants also generate a significant amount of ecologically sound power for the island. The Visayas Electric Company (VECO) distributes electricity throughout Cebu.
Telecommunication and Transportation. Cebu's telecommunication facilities are excellent, thanks to development from Globe, Smart, and Sun, the country's three largest telecommunication companies. DSL and Broadband connections to the Internet are also abundant, with WiFi technology available in Cebu City's more affluent areas, affording specialty coffee shops, hotels and other first-class establishments this opportunity to offer the technology exclusively to their clients.
Identified by Asiaweek as one of Asia's best cities, Cebu's quality of life has kept pace with its growth. Needed infrastructure and utilities, especially, power, water and communication have been put in place. Commuters in the metropolis rely on computerized traffic management system. Housing is also adequate and reasonably priced.
Major attractions are Cebu's numerous historical sites, such as the Magellan Shrine. One is within minutes of any of Cebu's abundant attractions: five-star hotels, casinos, white sand beaches, world-class golf courses and shopping malls. For those who prefer the rugged outdoors, there are four National parks for hiking, climbing and the like.
Come and savor the spectacular and wondrous beauty of Cebu, your virtual paradise and Queen City of the South.
