This picture perfect in Cebu was taken by good friend Japanese friend Yusuke when he and his friends visited this place, can you tell me what is the name of this place?

Philippines 2013, Episode 7 - Cebu City (Nun Interview, Island Hopping, Tops Mt Busay)

Travel Series: Philippines Holiday 2013 - Episode 7 of 21
Cebu is one of the most developed provinces in the Philippines, with Cebu City as the main center of commerce, trade, education and industry in the Visayas. Cebu is generally cheaper for food, shopping, taxis and Jeepneys (compared to Manila). I found locals to be much nicer and friendlier than Manila, but I was very lucky to befriend an good tour guide.
If your hotel travel tours are expensive, shop around with local travel agents at a shopping mall like Ayala Mall. If you shop around you can probably hire your own boat very cheap.

Lapu-Lapu City
Island Hopping & Snorkeling

Travel Tips:
Everyone spoke English and generally very friendly.
Its important to have photo ID for flights, hotels, and if police ask.
Its common for taxi drivers in Manila to try rip you off. Ask them nicely to put the meter on, or negotiate the price from the start if you know what it costs to your location. Otherwise find another taxi!
Shopping mall culture, locals love the mall for the aircon and to get out of the heat.
Locals often inflate prices for foreigners and tourists. Haggle and negotiate nicely. Be tough, but be respectful and polite about it. Shop around, you can often get a better price.
"Tip" can also mean bribe, so don't be afraid to ask what you're paying for upfront. Locals often do things to try help you, but then expect a tip.
The average basic worker earns PHP 300 a day. So tipping PHP 20 - 50 is fine.

Marami ring white sandy beaches sa Cebu. But converted to very expensive resorts. Rip-off. 2nd to Manila, Cebu is the hub of commerce and industry in the Philippines. :) ;)
