Toledo, Component city in western Cebu, Philippines.
Toledo is a component city located on the western coast of Cebu in the Philippines. It consists of urban and rural areas spread across hilly terrain, with towns and villages that make up the region.
The city was originally known as Pueblo Hinulawan before relocating in 1869 following severe earthquakes that damaged the region. Residents moved their settlement to higher ground near Tubod for greater safety and stability.
The Hinulawan Festival brings residents together each June to celebrate local heritage and traditions. This event shows how the community values its past and keeps regional customs alive.
Buses run regularly from Cebu City to reach the city, and vans offer additional transport options throughout the region. Ferry services also connect the area to nearby coastal communities.
A major copper mining operation has shaped the local economy and landscape for many decades. This industry remains a significant part of the region's identity and employment.
