@dominique: Thanks! Now, the major problem of this Cebu thread is the lack of Cebuano forumers and digicams... I have taken pics of Cebu recently but my problem is I took it in my camera phone + it does not have bluetooth. How can I transfer the pics to the PC? I know there's some kind of cable to connect it but it's with my dad. Isn't there another way? Thank You...

>>>Wow, this is overwhelming. Yesterday, I think this thread was on its 60th+? And now, its on its 101st! Hands down, Cebu!

Just accept the truth people. don't be hambog enough.

this guy is really trying to destroy our peaceful talks in Cebu thread...What could be his motives? We don't even care about that "Queen City of the South" title...

anyway, post away Cebuano forumers...Hope we could fill this up and have our 4th thread away...hehehe....

No sir, I sure don't. I mostly just rely on infos you guys posted here and from the ABS-CBN news online, but you are right, I'm excited about the plans of a new Bohol airport being constructed, I've even seen the rendering posted somewhere here about it. I think Bohol is close to Boracay? I've never been there yet and I heard it's kind of a pain just to go there because it is being served by airlines with smaller aircrafts and I hate being in a small plane like that.
Oh BTW, You can call me anything you want but just don't call me late for diner!!!! LOL I should be almost old enough to be your dad, I understand you are 14 y/o so...........

1. why will that Bohol International Airport ever rival Cebu? It can't!, we're established! Instead of rivaling, maybe it could even help Cebu in boosting it's tourism mandates because international tourists bound for Bohol might as well visit the world class Cebu...

2. Many are arguing why Cebu is considered as the Queen City of the South... First, because we are the second biggest city outside Metro Manila. Second, MALACANANG of the SOUTH is located in Cebu... Malacanang is the place where the president stays during vacation and important appointments and visits. There are a lot more of reasons but I could not just state them all because they are obvious. They are seen and heard.

3. Curtis, a world renowned illusionist will visit Ayala Center Cebu on Sept. 2-4 for mall shows. For schedules, please visit www.ayalamalls.com.ph

An international airport will surely complement Cebu I couldn't imagine why anyone would think that airport in Bohol would be built just to rival Cebu Actually, I really think Cebu is considered Queen City just because of its economic status perhaps the President's pet city? hehe

Are you sure about that? Have to been to all of them? In what basis do you make this statement? ...

I hope other developing cities learn from Cebu's successes too, it really needs a strong local gov't to achieve progresss rather than relying on the nat'l gov't for anything!

Cebu not having debts? that's amazing! Imagine building an international airport, large seaports, wide roads, and buying the reclamation land (A huge one at that!) without using loans!? ... Having debts and a budget surplus are 2 different things, you know . It actually is economically unwise to have no debts (if budget is experiencing a surplus).

Let's not generalize okay Not all ilonggos think that Cebu is a bastard city. Tallers is entitled to his own opinion even though its immature and careless.

Actually Cebu as a city is actually bigger than Iloilo City

Cebu Plaza Hotel has been there for more than a decade I guess. Ive seen it in Cebu postcards long time ago. It was a landmark before.

@ slerz: regarding Pag-ibig Tower... is it owned by HDMF?

I think it speaks for Cebu as a livable city, A children friendly city. "Very Safe indeed". It's only my opinion.

Wow that building is awesome!

When we left Cebu that building wasn't done yet.. and I thought it was grey.

* wow, yesterday there were only 60+ posts here. haha.

1. First, I've not been to all festivals but definitely Sinulog has its own color and something lively that other festivals doesn't have.
2. Yes, Cebu does not have debts at all.. I based this statement from Gov. Gwen Garcia's latest State of the Province Address wherein she quoted, "Cebu is no.1 with ZERO debts!" and even the local spectators and investors had a street party afterwards.

[Sinjin P.]

Sorry too, if it was too personal... I hope we don't hit eachother personally in the future... I too make apologies to those whom i backbited personally.

Yeah, I too was fascinated with the fast replies of the forumers... Maybe it was brought about by the closure of Cebu's 2nd thread...So now, the Cebuano and non-Cebuano forumers are now focused on 1 thread...

Bravo!

I have no idea sleepwalker uno, no info bout its owner....

Cebu Plaza Hotel - it was built last 1981...about 24 years ago...whoa! older than me.
It is one of the most famous Hotel not only in Cebu but in the whole country during the 80's and 90's. But now, still standing tall.

It is still standing tall and now, about 1.5+ billion pesos would be poured to refurbish this landmark... I hope Cebu promotes well too the MOUNTAIN VIEW nature park which is currently on phase 2 of development... This includes a mini-stadium for regular animal shows.

[slerz]

there is also a plan to build big Cebu letters on Cebu City mountains ala Hollywood style but I donno what happened, no infos about it already.

[Sinjin P.]

but I know that these plans would be realized by the government officials in their current efforts to promote Cebu as a worldclass city
