The Other Side Of Cebu

Cebu maybe just a small island in the middle of the Philippines but it has a potential that some people may have failed to realize.

Because of our abundant resources including, great beaches, fertile lands, hospitable people, highly adaptible workforce, well-balanced weather, strategic location, and a lot more, Cebu could easily become one of the most progressive provinces in the Philippines -- even comparable to some of the top Cities in the world... the question is 'When?'

Only when we realize the advantages and strengths that Cebu has over other provinces can we begin to know our roles in this development. It surely will require for us to undergo certain sacrifices and dramatic changes especially in our moral and political attitudes but it will be a sacrifice that is well worth every centavo.

Changes have to start with us. Development will happen naturally.

I am americn and I agree with the first comment about
the enforcement of the laws...If the citizens here would just realize that kickbacks and imposing higher
fines on richer people really hurt...because the gov
is not seeing the money for this to afford to give better services...also why are some homes taxed very
highly and then others have no tax at all....it is not
fair here for the medium to upper classes.

That's strange... As far as I know, San Francisco is part of Cebu.

I have built a house on Camotes Island. The island is 25 miles east of Cebu. There are about 100 foreigners living on San Fran and Poro. My 13,000 sq meters of developed beach property has increased in value 800 percent since I bought it 3 years ago. Do not live in Cebu, it is a congested nightmare. Invest in Camotes, San Francisco.

The increase in traffic congestions and traffic accidents is probably one sign that Cebu is indeed devloping. I don't know if it's a good thing but I sort of miss the old days.

Hi onlyme_6000@yahoo.com,
Thank you for your question. cebuwatch.com is a private endeavor and has no connection to any government office. I hope to make it a 1-stop-site for relevant information about Cebu, unfortunately, as I am the only one working on this, progress is quite slow.
Best regards!

Hi, thank you especially for the Cebuano Dialect page that was posted here. I just can't put a comment under that so my comment is right here. Just wondering, is cebuwatch.com privately-owned or is this connected to any government office?

I agree. One thing that is probably holding us back is our notorious inefficient and inconsistent law enforcement.
