Cebu, Island province in central Philippines

Cebu province encompasses multiple islands with limestone cliffs, white sand beaches, and coral reefs extending across the Visayas region.

The province marked the beginning of Spanish colonization in 1565 when Miguel Lopez de Legazpi established the first European settlement in the Philippines.

The annual Sinulog Festival in January brings together millions of participants who perform traditional dances and religious processions through the streets.

The province connects to major destinations through the Mactan-Cebu International Airport, which operates flights to Asian countries and domestic locations.

The waters around Moalboal contain masses of sardines that form dark moving circles near the surface throughout the year.
