One of the most sophisticated buildings that can be found in Cebu is the Cebu International Convention Center. This is where the 12^th Asean Summit and the 2^nd East Asia Summit was held. The 28,000-square footed and 3.8 hectare building cost about US$10 million and is located in the property of the Mandaue City Reclamation Area of Metro Cebu.

A contest for its design was held with the “spinning disc” entry of Architect Alexus Medalla winning the whole competition. However, the whole project was halted after some complications ensued. continue reading » »

There a lot of Cebu based local cable channels and one them is Real Cebu Television or RCTV for short. Not much of a choice though as I am not fond of watching their shows except for some strange one like "Smol Tym" of Budoy. continue reading » »
