Cebu is an island that spreads over 5,000 square kilometers and is home for 3.4 million people, 1.7 million of whom live in Metro Cebu. It is 250 kilometers from its northernmost point to its southern tip and stretches 45 kilometers across. Its east and west coasts are divided by mountains that run along the elongated island’s spine. At their highest point, these mountains rise to 1,000 meters. Cebu is situated 600 kilometers from the capital, Manila and is central to the Philippine archipelago. Cebu is the gateway to central and southern Philippines and is heart of most of the domestic shipping. This is due to its location as well as its sheltered deep water harbor.

Cebu is a unique and fascinating destination. Its close proximity to other exotic tourist destinations, low earth quake and typhoon activity and wide range of geological wonders are combined with a fascinating array of plant and animal species. The climate of Cebu is generally warm year round, usually between 23-330C. Rain falls evenly thought the year with the exception of the dry summer months, between March and May. The island is surrounded by beautiful beaches, coral atolls and other islands. The seas around Cebu are also rich fishing grounds.

The value of Cebu was first seen by the Chinese, who established it as a trading post in 900 AD. Once the Philippines had been colonized by the Spanish, Cebu was an obvious choice as the Philippines first city, due to its excellent location. Once established as the de facto capital in the Spanish colony, Cebu was a central location in the trading and shipping industries. This created a huge mix of cultures which existed amicably with the Malay influence. Throughout the 400-year duration of Spanish rule and a further 40 years of American influence, a uniquely cosmopolitan culture evolved.
