Cebu City is the capital city of the Cebu province found in the Visayan islands of the Philippines.  Known as the Queen City of the South, it is the Philippine’s second most important metropolitan center, after Metropolitan Manila, as it is the most important business, trade, and industrial center in the Visayas and Mindanao regions.

Cebu is a kaleidoscope of varying cultures and lifestyles, a meeting of east and west, a fusion of things traditional and modern. This is influenced by the various phases of Cebu: becoming the cradle of Christianity, experiencing American and Japanese occupation, and later on transforming itself into a regional hub of everything--- from arts and craftsmanship, to business and information technology.

Traditions remain unchanged over the years, while every taste of things that are modern is embraced. Forty-four towns and seven cities, various urban centers and countryside, islands and mountain ranges, age-old crafts and new technology. These diverse factors give the many faces of Cebu but still, all lead to one culture of excellence and piety, and a lifestyle of stylish fun all rolled into one.
