Philippines doesnt get a fraction of the tourism it deserves, the Philippines' haters have done wonders in painting such a negative, bad look at the country, no matter, nevertheless; it is my favorite country on earth I would move there over any place.

[@gangstagummybear3432]

@@MergimVlogsYT The image of the country has been damaged, ironically mainly by an unexpected group, but if I put a tag on the ones responsible for so many opting for other places; I would say it is because of the Thailand fans, not Thailand itself, but those that are cult fans of that country.

If it is then I'm excited to watch more because you'll be able to capture more of the beautiful sceneries here with that drone. Enjoy man, Cebu is truly a city that could go from the typical rat race feel of a city to a freakin relaxing chill quite vibes of a province. Oh and btw, I know this is a long video so that's probably why it took 2 days to upload but it really does feel strange when you're not uploading daily tho tbh I prefer you do like 5 uploads a week similar to a job so that you can have 2 days of just chilling and relaxing, works well for mental health man haha

No, only few tourists treat Cebu as a jumping point. Cebu is the most visited destination in the Philippines, drawing between 30 to 40% of all foreign tourists annually. In fact, Cebu (both Metro Cebu and Province) has the most number of hotel rooms/accommodations in the country, totaling to more than 30,000.

Another unique vlog and now with drone shots , awesome. Missing Cebu! Man that view from the mountain during the "golden hour" is precious. Btw, there's actually a movie about Hachiko - the dog statue in Little Kyoto. One of my all-time favorite dog movies , "Hachiko - A Dog's Tale/Story" starring Richard Gere. Pretty sure you'll love it and I think it's highly probable you will cry too.:( I still do each time I'd watch it :)

I think La vie and Little Kyoto are both new. Never heard of them till now. During my only visit to Cebu, I Said to myself this is the only place in the Philippines where I can relocate and live. I lived in Metro Manila all my life. Cebu has it all. Bustling city life and the feel of the province.

La Vie in the Sky opened in 2019 and is a sister establishment of the older La Vie Parisienne in Lahug district in Uptown Cebu City. Sachicko's Little Kyoto was opened only last year.

I really admire your presentations of your videos. The clarity of each photos, the narration and explanation of the subject really well researched ( a well known trait of the British people) Very educational really even the texture of your voice adds to the quality of your video. Its as if I'm watching National Geographic. Very good job Sir Melgim.

[@elgadricchartoen4369]

2:16, 2:23 you nailed it man! You're absolutely 200% right Mergim, Cebu has the Best of Both Worlds, city and nature! It is only a 15 to 30-minute ride to get to the mountains of the city from the city center or downtown. The beauty of the bustling city and the mountains of Cebu City are a must-visit before hitting the road for a 2-hour to 4-hour ride to Cebu Province, to the south: Oslob, Moalboal, swim w/ the whale sharks, sardine run, canyoneering, waterfall hunting, etc., and to the north: Cebu Safari, Malapascua, Bantayan, etc.. Cebu lives up to its moniker as "The Gateway to a Thousand Journeys." There isn't a shortage of explorations to do in Cebu. Cebu offers a unique travel experience as it is a place where the city and paradise meet. Explore and enjoy the beauty of Cebu. The Queen City of the Philippines. Be safe and God bless. ♥️

Shangrilla Mactan island resort - a Hongkong based management resort Dusit Thani - a Thailand based management resort. Movenpick Resort- a Swiss management resort. Crimson resorts and spa- is a Philippines based management resort. and Solea Mactan island resort- I’m not sure the management side of this resort. I don’t know if the Sheraton Cebu is already open. You can do parasailing and island hopping too. There are a lot of things to do in Cebu. You can visit Cebu Ocean Park, Cebu Safari and Adventure park. Kawasan falls for canyonnering, Moalboal for swimming with millions of sardines and sea turtles, Oslob for swimming with whale sharks , Malapascua island for diving with thresher sharks, Bantayan island for white sand beaches and skydiving .
