I dont know brad! Hehehee

Ako lang kay mao na akong opinion and daghan man nidisagree kay nice lagi jud kuno ang Cebu, a top tourist destination. Ok cge, opinion man pud na nila, so I challenge them to give me a tour itinerary (see above post).

Dli man mo mahuman ani na lalis mga brad.
number 1 ang OP kay Pinoy, lahi ang iyang taste for the so-called "Tour" and "Tourist spot". Lahi2x ta ug taste sa tourism, lahi2 ta ug preference sa tourism. DLI nmo ma generalize ang term na "Best" tourist spot.

There is NO such thing as "regular tourist" as the OP tries to imply.

Ako mismo dli ko nahan mo adto sa EUROPE, i do not find it a good tourist spot, i love nature and not man made views.
So to understand the OP, lets profile him, shall we?

The OP must have travelled to some countries and found the advacement in technologies, the modernization the cleanliness and the good image attractive, maybe he might have been to disney land.

He must have come from a well-earned family, around class A or class B.
The Op must have not travelled enough to see Cebu, he must have grown up in the City, and if he seen a carabao
on the road hes instict is to take picture immediately. He must have seen and heard about Cebu so-called tourist spot in print ads, internet and in video ads. He must not have tried, mountain climbing or even diving, how bout island hopping?

But with regards to the OP comment against magellan's cross, it is obvious that he does not even know about the word "Tourism" for a start, its not the view, its the significance and the history of the place, again its not the view, i repeat its not the view and its not merely for FB. If a certain tourist likes to tour a certain place because of its history, then Cebu is a candidate place to go.
Even mentioning magellans cross in the same sentence with the word FB, then my profile says the OP is still young and round his mid 20s and thats explains everything about his point of view.

We filipinos think that Cebu or Philippines is not a good place because of all that bad news reported in the media, all those crimes, garbage everywhere, etc.

But have you been to india, where you can found Cows roaming around everywhere?
have you been to SIngapore? Ah yes, your telling me Singapore is clean and a good tourist attraction with its tall buildings, advancement in technology, shopping centers,etc.. naa ra na nmo kay lahi ang imong tan.aw sa definition sa tour. Pero kabalo ba ka na naay lugar sa Singapore na perte hugawa ug basura bisag asa example: baha sa dalan?

Ive worked with an american, european now japanese company, and most of them thinks the laidback environment of Cebu compare to other cities including Manila is excellent. Wla pa gani na cla ni comment sa beaches, sceneries, lifestyle.
A certain japanese corp executive even brought his diving paraphernalias because Cebu is marketted in Japan as a "Top diving spot". There first agenda is to go diving rather than meet with the employees in Cebu.

Theyr only negative comments are the news given by every media like tv and newspapers, since according to my japanese friends, negative news brings negative auro to the country, thus making its citizens depressed and unhappy.

Lastly, marketting cebu at "Top tourist destination" is an approach to selling Cebu to tourist, IF the OP understand what the word "marketting" is. Then this thread must not have been open in the first place. Pero like what my profile said, the OP is still young and in his mid 20s that explains his immaturish skepticism.

Oh com' on... accept it. What's so nice in Magellan's Cross? 10 mins picture2x pang-fb mao ra... hadlok pa ka gamit sa imong camfon or digicam kay isnatch unya...

My God, are you 12? I mean, you raised some good points earlier, but now you're just being a troll. Do you really want a history lesson on the importance of Magellan's Cross? Sure it's just some cross at the back of some "boring" church, what did you expect, a friggin JumboTron? If you can't fully appreciate its history, then it's not for you.

Give us a break man. One moment you're giving us suggestions, the next, you're flaming for arguments.

P.S. Magellan's Cross is pretty safe, I've waved a camera around in the area God knows how many times. And it should be safe, seeing as to how it's right in front of City Hall and a police station just a few yards away.

yes, no need to spend a lot of time figuring it out, pwede man na nila ipa prepare/arrange sa ilahang tourist guide mao man na trabaho sa tourist guide

kadaghan Koreans and all nga maabot ana nga mga lugar, dili lang ang mga Korean students diri, ang uban mag golf pa sa badian.

mura ra gud na sa Bohol, kana ila tourist route, if wala ang mga tourist guide murag dugay sad biya ifigure out gyapon. same ra man

What about the tourists who don't want to be part of a tour group and who don't want to have a guide tailing them everywhere? You're ignoring a very large part of the tourism market. Not every tourist is a 50 year old grandmother from South Korea...

I was responding to the request na mag himo ug itinerary, well kana dili ganahan ug big tour group can arrange gagmay na vans to take them there also. daghan way if ganahan gyud.

even the hotel mismo can arrange na mudala nila diha nga place, albeit mahal kay solo gud ang van. bsag asa ka muadto if ganahan ka exclusive mumahal man sad gyud.

I was not ignoring, I was merely citing a sample nga pwede..

Hahahaa That's how painful I can be! A headache to people who are delusional of Cebu's tourism grandeur.

Did I hit u in the eye, bull? You are passionately protesting because one, you are a patriotic pinoy, two, a Catholic devotee, and three a delusional Cebuano. That's why you find Magellan's Cross so dear to you that you can die defending its significance from the petty, childish FB comment I intentionally made.

Why it doesn't appeal to me? It's simply because it's as if I am fooled that I am made to believe that the encased cross is the real cross and that place is where Magellan planted that very cross. If the wood inside is truly real, why do they have to fully encased it? Just for it to look ornate? Wrong! By doing it, they have stricken the significance out of that very cross. And do you think it is the place where it is planted? Be real, man! At your age, you seem to believe in Santa Claus still.

The cross is just plain simple representation of the first seat of Christianity in Asia... and for such a very significant representation then I why not make it as grand as JumboTron?

For it is right now... a 10 minute photo op is all it deserve.

Wow! Here's a person who knows all about tourism, marketing and profiling.
Nice profile, by the way, but not close enough.

And by the way, I say "regular tourist" as opposed to "adventurist". Gets?

I just wish you have made significant contributions to the development of Cebu.

As for me, dili the best ang Cebu for Tourism because of lots of reasons but it's not the worst ever pud.

Pero as a Cebuano, la sad ko ngkulang as a concerned citizen sa Philippines. I promoted Cebu to foreigners online, I went out on tour with my students s Moalboal, Kawasan, and Cebu City proper, and others, also I even tour with my balikbayan friend and taga Cebu na friends sa Barili (mantayupan falls and beach)...and went out with my relatives sa province adto Tabuelan (15 mi kabuok, ligo dagat)

I did my part to promote Cebu and experience how beautiful this province is... but I did everything on a budget and not spend grandiosely on expensive resorts, food, etc... kinow-boy style ako-a kay galisud sa kwarta pero at the end mas ma enjoy ko ane na style kaysa luxurious vacation...

For those who are reading this my post and commenting on this thread? What have you done to promote Cebu and experience what it is like?

My ultimate goal? To experience Cebu every province there is and see for myself how beautiful this province is with or without the aid of the government (infrastructure and promotion of the places)... At least when I die I have no regrets, maka-ingon jud ko nakasuroy jud ko sa Cebu, totally...

On the other hand, yes, security issue might have cause some slips plus the dirty environment pwerte aboga.. kung sige lang ta reklamo lay lihok la jud ta padulngan... how many of us throw a plastic out of the jeepney kay dka huwat ilabay sa basurahan ang plastic or isulod sa bag ang basura? How many of us pataka lang pangluwa, patakay labay sa upos sa sigarilyo, pataka lang labang sa dan, how many of us are sour graping because of what other provinces have accomplished? how many of us hate Tomas because of this and that... to think he had done a lot of things to Cebu...

Ang ako point, Cebuanos man ta we should be united and not think of ourselves on how to get rich or look down or pulling down others kay we are not happy if others are excelling. Let's change our mentality and act something not sit down and look what is happening and do nothing but whining.

#1 Klaro nga nag sour graping ni cya.

dakong sakto
dili niya ma dawat nga naa daghan tourist nga nag enjoy sa ila stay sa cebu
siya grebeh na ang hinanakit pero ang mga tourista lipay kaayo nag picture2x sa Magellan cross
