Foreigners Go To Cebu City For The 1st Time! Day 1 Of Our 16 Day Trip

[@CaptainGyro]

Mall visits/reports are of interest for viewers who are interested in living in a city for long or semi term (that's my wife and I). Thanks. And don't get me started on what Cebu and Mactan Island were like the first time I was there in 1984. You whipper-snappers have it so easy these days.

[@fredtacang3624]

Pls, do tell lol

[@MrEVO-ye6bm]

You can visit our famous beaches in cebu. Cebu-North: Malapascua Island, Bantayan Island. Cebu-South: Beaches in Badian, Moalboal, Oslob, and Sumilon Island.

[@BiancaBeyond]

Stay tuned!

Sorry to hear about about your Air B and B experience. That was a bummer to be cancelled within two minutes of your arrival. But your plane experience nice cuz its not fully booked. Kind of spacious. So happy to see the infrastructures in Cebu. The lights on the street is a plus especially if one is traveling at night. The mall is modernized like what you can see here in Chicago. As I've said before we are closely following you. Planning on going back to the Philippines next year. Enjoying all your videos. Thank you for being so detailed like the hotels you stay. It gives us a heads up. God bless. "Mabuhay"!

Amazing Cebu...

[@ronnienestor]

I love Cebu City. You should experience Sinulog held every 3rd Sunday of January. It is the country’s biggest and grandest festival with street dancers and party places until the evening. I’ve been to Sinulog 8 times.

[@fredtacang3624]

Partying til the next morning lol. Would love to see other major festivals like panagbenga, dinagyang, masskara, kadayawan, pahiyas, higantes, pintados, air balloon (if anjan pa lol) and san juan do the same. The have the same (large) 'market' as sinulog, they just need to up the 'character' and activities a bit lol

[@khelisiesalvatore8173]

The air B n B with the mirrored ceilings was actually used to give the illusion of height. I learned this from a tall athlete that did a house tour with his ex. He's only got 6.5 ft ceilings and at over 6ft himself so to give the room a better look he mirrored tye whole thing, including the en suite.

[@NindoRuiz]

Welcome to my hometown guys sure you'll gonna love our city especially provinces of Cebu and hoping were gonna see coz I'm leaving here in the city and request for autograph with you guys. again Chill and have enjoy in my hometown guys.

Nice of you to feature the Queen City of the South. FYI, while it has many new structures, it is in fact the oldest city in the Philippines. Also, a few hints on pronunciation. Cebu - seh-BOOH Ayala - ah-YAH-la (All vowel sounds are short) Other than that, nice job.

[@frankiefernandez9225]

I HAVEN’T BEEN TO CEBU YET BUT WILL GO SOON👍🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

[@panzerrule9484]

Do visit SM Seaside Mall, Cebu Ocean Park, and NuStar resort and casino in South Road Properties (SRP). These places offer a modern experience of Cebu City's ever-changing landscape. The SRP is a more organized and less chaotic part of town, since it's built from scratch on reclaimed land. Lantaw (SRP branch) is an open-air restaurant with one of the best seaside views of Cebu's skyline. CCLEX (locally known as the 3rd bridge) is the longest bridge in the Philippines. It has 8 well-lighted crosses at night, which symbolizes the fusion of tradition and modernity in Cebu.

The Ayala mall has a really nice rooftop bar with some great food.

[@panzerrule9484]

Agreed!! It's definitely one of Ayala Mall's highlights.

[@lionhearted1969]

Being a first timer in a place, I suggest you get the fact first from knowledgeable locals about things before making any statements so as not to make any false information. Some instances: on the timeline 10:20 where you show a certain tall building you said was damaged by a typhoon was actually incorrect because that building was long abandoned unfinished since 2017 due to some legal issues with the local building codes. That unfinished building didn't have its glass windows installed yet as its structure and exteriors were not yet finished by the time it was ordered stopped. If you noticed those protruding scaffoldings are still there, which is remarkable owing to the strong winds which was the strongest to ever hit Cebu. On timeline 15:47, the ceiling or roof of the Ayala Center Cebu mall was really designed that way, bare trusses. The mall was opened in 1994, exactly a year after SM City Cebu opened in November 1993. Majority of the highrise buildings in Cebu only sustain minor damage such as a few pieces of cladding and few glass windows shattered. The 150-meter viewing tower of SM Seaside mall which is located close to the edge of the ocean is the only tall structure in Cebu that had significant damage from the typhoon where about 1/10 of its cladding flew off but has long been replaced already.

[@BiancaBeyond]

The building we pointed out was the building that says Fusion on it, part of Robinson circle not the tall building behind it. Expecting tourists to know everything and anything before arriving is unrealistic. We are here to explore the city and reacting as an outsider we are sorry if that offends you. No offense is intended. At no point should you expect foreigners who are visiting a place for the first time to have the knowledge of someone who has lived here. But perhaps you do not like tourists

[@basakboy]

@@BiancaBeyond that last sentence was uncalled for. no need to be defensive and raise your hackle every time someone write something you don't like. end of grouse. fun part: cebu is called sugbu by the natives [probably not anymore by the young ones].

[@lionhearted1969]

@@BiancaBeyond I didn't expect any foreigner to know everything about a place as a first timer. I clearly said that as a first timer to a place, you should ask the locals who have considerable knowledge about certain things. You can't just issue statements based on 'pure visual observation' without confirming it from locals, not just one local.

[@BiancaBeyond]

@@lionhearted1969 Thank you for sharing your opinion :)

[@brianbaxter3913]

When I went from Cebu to Manila they did the trivia thing. I had a friend in Cebu so didn't have to do the taxi or Grab thing to get around but it was still a pain a lot of times. The bridge in your drone shot is the longest bridge in the Philippines and takes you to Mactan Island. It is a nice trip over the bridge but once you get off the bridge it was crazy traffic. You need to go to what they call the Top of Cebu and check out Balay/Busay restaurant and La Vie in The Sky a french style place. From both places you get awesome views of Cebu City and Mactan Island.

[@BiancaBeyond]

there is a section that carries Gap, Superdry, and the likes and there is Rustan’s that carries the branded stuff. you should’ve also gone to CNT lechon the best lechon that is also in ayala where the food court is. come in the morning as soon as it opens so you get the good part and the crunchy part. I am cebuano and i live here my entire life and believe me when i say that CNT lechon is the best. other vloggers tend to go to house of lechon and Rico’s but nothing beats the good old CNT lechon. ask for the belly part which is the good part 😊

[@BiancaBeyond]

We can still go there but yes we went to Rico's it was recommended by the Gm of the hotel

[@vinepat]

@@BiancaBeyond Rico’s is good too coz they have other food choices and for that “sosyal” vibe! but try also CNT they are just a kiosk in the food court and they serve with puso and you can use your hands to eat! they’ve been our lechon choice every Christmas Noche Buena to get that authentic lechon experience!

[@emarie3214]

It depends on the person's taste bud; others find CNT more salty and oily compare to other lechon houses but that's what Cebuanos love. I preferred Alejos lechon, hehe 😍
