Slowly but surely, Cebu is getting international attention, mainly because of its business infrastructure and rapid industry growth. Late last year, Cebu was ranked as the number one emerging city for global outsourcing industries, beating China’s Shanghai and Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh City. Having such a vast workforce compels the city’s pace-setters to set up festivities catering to every interest.

Aside from the booming businesses and industries, Cebu is recognized for its yearly Sinulog festival, which is considered to be the biggest outside of Brazil’s Mardi Gras. Cebuanos always have more than enough of their entertainment fill as the fiesta spawns a large number of independent parties.
