Cebu is a gem… known for so long as progressive city. Cheers.

[@Livingabroadalex]

Awesome video as always Mergim! Glad I ran into you. Great talk and fun night 🥳

[@jesuscatangay2856]

Your vlogging is unique, you are exploring every corner of the Philippines in details, which most foreign vloggers and even Filipinos do not know that exist, keep going you are exposing the beauty of Philippines to the world.

[@hillroberts1311]

Cebu will soon start building the monorail I believe. Cebu is indeed very modern. I'm visiting it soon....Shared to my friend's wall Thanks!

[@alexandertan4496]

WoW, mergim vlogs + living abroad vlogs collab. Awesome. 👍

[@Livingabroadalex]

Big things poppin!

[@wonderboykun]

In the early 2000s, IT Park wasn't developed yet. I could still remember that it was just cement roads then and wide open land. It used to be an airport by the way. We used to just walk there to catch a jeepney ride outside after our ROTC training every Saturday at Camp Lapu-Lapu just behind IT Park. After I graduated college there were not so many low rise buildings then - EPSON, Globe, NEC to name a few. I'm from Cebu but I haven't visited IT Park for like 3-4 years now. Thanks for the tour Mergim.

[@Livingabroadalex]

Sounds like a place I'd loved to ha explored!

[@WelcomeToRabuAvenue]

wow, an old airport? like before there was mactan intl airport?

Hi Mergim, i've been following your travels since you first arrived in the Philippines and have thoroughly enjoyed the way you've incorporated historical facts and trivia into your vlogs. I look forward to watching future vlogs from other parts of our beautiful country, but not necessarily just the islands and beaches all other vloggers highlight. Your episodes from Tondo, Binondo, inner Manila and Intramuros were especially informative as well as entertaining, which proves that the landscapes in the background are not the only things that make for a great vlog. Good luck and happy travels in the Philippines!

[@evepinochannel285]

Its so nice seeing you 3 bloggers in 1 video!

Wow..The IT park looks so lively at night and is considered one of the most vibrant landmark in Cebu.Super Mercado is one of the best place to hang out at night and enjoy the variety of filipino and other asian foods to choose.Im so glad you meet alex the canadian vlogger.I'm one of his subscriber too..Keep up with lots of amazing vlog.

[@bisayakaayo8595]

you are loving cebu mergim, any plans exploring the northern part? its slightly different than south, its hotter and its the area where you can find the only vast flat lands of cebu , everywhere else is in cebu is mostly mountainous!!!

[@marierocher4422]

I love the northern part looking at the rolling hills with Sugar cane plantation until Daan Bantayan not only the beaches.

[@UrsaWarrior95]

Cebu island is kind of an all in one place really. A balance of good tourist attractions, white sand beaches, and highly urbanized cities in reasonable proximities. I think there's no island in the Ph that has those 3 combined.

[@lapulapupintado2892]

Exactly correct💯% Real Talk💯% Very True💯% you're absolutely correct💯% Bar None ❤CEBU☝is No.1

[@bibonagy]

Totally agree! Different balance and this vibe that I don’t know how to explain it. I don’t feel that vibe when I’m in Manila.

[@thereseclaire9806]

Truuueeee. You have it all in Cebu!

[@jessasoliano797]

And the Busay mountains as well that you can access in less than an hour ride from IT park.

[@WelcomeToRabuAvenue]

i love that you can look out of your hotel room(case to case basis) and you see how close the Fuente area is to the mountains.

[@allansevilla5640]

To get rid of mosquitos, try using off lotion. You can get it at any drug store. If you can find mercury drug or watsons. And if bitten already, try using katialis. It helps with the itchiness Also time flies when uour in good company

Since you mentioned going to explore Mactan one of these days, you can take the bus from IT Park to Mactan Newtown and you’ll be taken off to the sister township of BGC by Megaworld. If BGC had the Venice-themed lifestyle mall, Mactan will be having Spanish-themed soon to be called Plaza Magellan. Mactan Newtown also has it’s own beach which will soon be developed into a beach lagoon. Across the street from Mactan Newtown towards Punta Engaño, there is Mactan Shrine where the Battle of Mactan between Lapu-Lapu and Magellan took place in 1521. I would love that you cover that, but looking at how you actually cover a lot of the most underrated and interesting places, I believe you’ll eventually be able to explore the area without much tip from others.

[@WelcomeToRabuAvenue]

is the beach open to the public for a fee?

[@iamcherreymaiya]

@@WelcomeToRabuAvenue if there’s no change during the pandemic, yes. I used to live in the area and went there in Newtown Beach on weekends with my dog. If I my memory didn’t fail me it was around 200/person entrance.

[@markusdoggo60]

Two thumbs up

[@evepinochannel285]

Yeah try Mactan Island, start at Mactan Newtown, you can take a bus from IT Park, then from Mactan Newton you can take a motorbike to cross from Mactan Newton to Cordova, you can see the 10k roses, the floating cottages in Bantayan Bay, then you can ride a vhire van from cordova to sm city, or try to ask if theres IT Park. You can have island hopping also, you can share the boat with Inwook and alex living abroad bloggers. Better you rent a motorbike to tour around Mactan the whole day!

[@lesmisurbanite5306]

I used to work there. I miss that place.

[@lionhearted1969]

@Mergim....I suggest you try going up to Chixboy BBQ located in Busay, about 50 meters from the Temple of Leah. Chixboy BBQ is a nice chill place with 3 level of open-air dining areas affording you to get a panoramic view of the city and the surrounding lush mountains and beyond. They open at 3PM but the best time to go there is when the sun is about to set when the city lights below start to illumine the whole city.

[@ceelee5850]

Nice tour. Thanks man

[@jeremyf5051]

You can still enjoy Shangrila and Plantation Bay without checking in , just visit the hotel and look around is free and you can just order a drink or a shake if u want to in one of their restos.

Mactan Island is where Lapu-Lapu City and the Municipality of Cordova are located. The Cebu-Mactan International Airport is in there.

[@lapulapupintado2892]

👆Thank you, you're absolutely correct💯%

[@FresshPrinc3]

Hey mate, currently vacationing in Cebu and I’ve been to 3 resorts on Mactan island. You’re able to enter the beach/resort area just for the day for 1800-2000 pesos and most of them even give you 800 pesos to spend at the place! Definitely worth a visit

[@iamkuroma5405]

Wow Alex! 1 of his subscribers too! His channel is growing fast too.

[@adelinahipolito67]

I guess Mergim so much enjoy in Cebu. 😊🙂🇵🇭👍

[@panzerrule9484]

Good day, Sir. In Mactan Island, you could opt for an overnight stay in the luxury resorts, or pay a reasonably lower fee for "day use" of the resorts' facilities (along with a "consumable" amount for food and drinks, depending on which resort). Enjoy!

[@WelcomeToRabuAvenue]

The future BGC of Cebu is the area around SM Seaside. A big development called South Coast City. That area will be full of skyscrapers & trees in a few years. They are already half-finished with the roadworks, the vertical structures will rise soon

Mergim -- The Cebu IT Park seems an ideal urban scale.

[@abcdefghijklmnop87]

this is what i observed while in the philippines.... if you travel from one island to the other within their archipelago you will notice as if you're in another country... each islands other than tagalog has a different dialects, aside each island has a different of natural beauties and attractions.... there are places which can hardly understands tagalog but can understand english... even their tricycles and jeepneys are not the same to that of manila.

[@AffordableHousesPhils]

Cebu is catching up with manila in terms of construction of mid to high rise buildings, rapid urbanization too. I just wish that it will not follow manila in terms of failure in urban planning. Manage the influx of people from nearby provinces which end up being squatters or homeless. Btw, thanks for showcasing the beauty of our country mergim, this will let the world discover how lovely and lively life in the Philippines is. Explore more of phils esp the islands in visayas like camiguin, siquijor, bohol dumaguete too and if you have the chance explore too the mindanao area like kumander daot and kulas of becoming filipino. Looking forward to your next exciting and funfilled updates. Maraming salamat kaibigan/ Daghang salamat higala! ❤🤗 #NewSubsHere #ItsMoreFunInPH #AffordableHousesPhl
