To this day, there are still many non-Tagalogs who resent Tagalog's official status and resist the language of the "imperialist" capital city.
Maybe Cebuano is one of them.

A new hangout place near University of Cebu (blue bldg), beside the Country Mall (right). haven't been there but they say a lot of restos will soon open in that area. yellow cab pizza, gloria jeans and starbucks recently opened. btw, Northgate mall is right beside the University of Cebu bldg. where Sinners and Saints bar is located. highly recommended, top of the line sound system, modern interiors, great food, also where best local bands converge.

Because they think that they're too cool for the place and its environs?

sloid · June 28th, 2005, 11:35 PM

definitely CEBU

then davao comes next.

wornout · June 29th, 2005, 01:27 PM

I have a lot of cebuano friends and I think they are really very nice and accommodating although at first encounter you may think that they are a bit too occupied with being a cebuano and that they resist adapting Manila's language and ways, all of these are temporary. Well, most of the time we converse in English so that no communication problem will occur, knowing that Cebuanos are really hard-up with speaking Tagalog.

carlo pontevedra · June 29th, 2005, 02:32 PM

My top 10 Cities in the Philippines outside Metro Manila are (not necessarily in that order):

1) Cebu City - for its being the extension of Makati in Central Philippines
2) Baguio City - obviously, for being the eternal summer capital of the Phiilippines
3) Dagupan City - for its bangus
4) Cavite City - for my fond childhood memories
5) Tagaytay City - Metro Manilans weekend hideaway
6) Gen. Santos City - for its bountiful seafood harvest all-year round
7) Antipolo City - for its clean and green surroundings; its people are also friendly.
8) Zamboaga City - for its lovely people and flowers
9) Puerto Princesa City - for its peace-loving people and care for the environment
10) Malolos City - for its historical and cultural impact on our country

A scene at Bo's...
(credits to rusty18 for the photo)

Our turn to step up at the till.

Bo's guy: Good afternoon! May I have your order sir?
My friend: Boss, isang cafe latte para sa akin, tapos dito sa kasama ko capuccino.
Bo's guy: Ok sir, that's one caffe latte and one capuccino. Sir would you like to have fruit on the caffe latte?
My friend: Fruit?
Bo's guy: Yes sir, dagdagan natin ng fruit....
My friend: Ano'ng klaseng fruit yon? (thinking raspberry, orange, vanilla syrup additives) Yun ba yung syrup na nasa bote?
Bo's guy: Ay hindi sir. Yung fruit po ay yung parang gatas na bumubula on top of the coffee.
My friend: Ah ok!
Me to friend: Tanga mo pare!

Based on statistics, judging on the basis of the following criteria: industrialization, size and population, infrastractures, degree of importance to the country, and nightlife, the following are the top ten cities in the country:

1. Metro Manila
2.. Metro Cebu
3.. Davao City
4. Iloilo City
5. Cagayan de Oro City
6. Bacolod City
7. Baguio City
8.Zamboanga City
9. Gen. Santos City
10. Angeles City

Siopao · June 30th, 2005, 06:22 AM

Outside Manila? Cebu is the best of course.. Boracay is tooo 'provincial' .. it doesnt have a 'city feeling' .. Many tourist even think that Cebu's night life is better than Manila's. Cebu's favourite and most visited night club are..

1.) Ratsky's
2.) Mi Vida!
3.) Fuel
4.) New Jamaica
5.) Rez Night Club

The city is more lively and exciting in Cebu's Sinulog Festival every January. Like Boracay, Cebu has the finest beach resorts and hotels in the Visayas (eg. Shangrila Hotel, Cebu Beach Club, Tambuli, etc.) Truly, Cebu is the best in the Philippines, when it comes to nightlife.

it depends on one's inclination & your own definition of nightlife. taste vary from person to person. anyways, cebu got it all in almost all aspects... beach party, festival, bars & restos. not far behind is davao. also cdo, baguio, iloilo, gensan & bacolod. i think boracay/malay, aklan maybe disqualified since the thread is for cities not municipality.

jack's ridge, davao's counterpart to the top in cebu:

A crowd drawer, Jr. Kilat is a progressive reggae band based in the southern Philippines that uses local language (Cebuano) over a fusion of two or more reggae styles in a single song. Their songs often tackle ganja, sex, politics, current issues and local mythology. Their only handicap by far is their lack of melodic numbers.
