Business Hub : Cebu City

If you thought Makati City was the sole business nerve of the Philippines, then you are gravely wrong. With 7,107 islands, this vast country cannot afford to only have one business centre. Hence, beyond Manila, if I shift to the south, there is Cebu City, dubbed the Queen City of the South. Why you may ask? The reason is simple, because outside the capital, this is the next most important centre of commerce, trade and industry in the Visayas and Mindanao region.

Cebu City has also aggressively promoted themselves as the following:

1) The country's main domestic shipping hub, with more than 80% of the country's inter0-island shipping companies located here.

2) An investment destination

3) The education center of Center Visayas. It has been highly recommended that if one is looking for a talented and educated supply of manpower, this will be the place you are looking at!
