City of Cebu

The city of Cebu was the first Spanish settlement in the Philippine islands in the 16th century, and was founded by Portuguese explorer, Ferdinand Magellan, who also happened to die at the hands of then King of Cebu, Rajah Humaphon. The city has a population of about 825,000 people, but it is also the center of a metropolitan area that includes three other cities with a total population of about 2 million. It is located on the eastern part of Cebu, right on the water called Cebu Strait. The city is the Philippines' main domestic shipping port. We go on a tour Sunday morning, so there will be more to come.
