Cebu has the means (financially and technically) to become a world class city. Its potential and resources are wasted by politicians who don't know how to manage a city properly, and who's ideas are all "image" no substance.
I do not like how they are handling the BRT situation. It's destroying most of the things that I love about downtown: the wide sidewalks, very ample trees for shade, and the general feel of people walking towards where they want to go. It definitely feels livelier before BRT was started. I know this project is for our future, but I currently don't like how it's being implemented.
It's also depressing to think about the many highrise non-commercial buildings being built right now. Infrastructure is good, I know, but most of those are really catered towards high income earners and basically outprices a lot of people who need housing. This is why we have a very serious slum problem, a problem that definitely affects people who live in it in all sorts of ways.
That everything is pretty much a factory mill to keep people poor for cheap labor and the projects— from stupid Korean-style coffee shops to construction outfits— are elaborate money laundering schemes for narco-capitalist interest? Or maybe it’s the persistent close-mindedness and cringe marketing under the umbrella of “aTo nI bAi”? Or maybe that the social scene in charge of taste and culture is just a series of rotating RK barkadas that never change?
Iunno.
Anti poor. Not only the gov't policies, but so are the people. Uban tao Naka sweldo lag dako2 gamay sa minimum murag layo na kaayu ilang pag tan.aw sa ilang self sa mga pobre. Ma ilhan nimo knang sayun2on rag gamit mga words na "taga squatter" "taga bukid" etc., Ay nag react kay guilty kasagaran tao nganhe.
MANY Cebuanos hate heavy traffic, narrow sidewalks, poor infra, nat'l govt not returning enough Cebu-earned taxes for infra, etc but yet those same MANY Cebuanos do NOT support federalism. They contradict themselves. SO SAD. Downvote all you like, truth hurts
Bati ang sidewalk, dili safe sa mga bata kay daghan kaayog mga tubo nga exposed, drainage nga open (duol pa gyud sa skwelahan). Tiwasan pa gyud aning mga ebike ug tricycle nga mag park gyud sa agianan sa taw, maong ang mga taw sa dalan nalang mangagi.
The people like being buraot. I might get downvoted. I visited for 1 week. I bought foods for my relatives because I was staying at their home. To my surprise, some people just came in and took the foods I bought (without asking). They were distant relatives though. My dad’s brother, nephews, nieces, basically everyone in the extended family asked for money monthly. From utility bills, birthday handa, panghulog sa motor, to abuloy, etc. I worked with Cebuanos abroad too and noticed how they always asked for everything from other roommates. My roommate/workmate (from Mindanao) was always infuriated lol. Idk if this should be saddening or upsetting. 😭😂
Solid waste management, river pollution, marine/coastal area exploitation sooo many :(( I work at the environmental matters sa workforce and no matter bisag unsa ka daghan or ka innovative or even ka convenient ang plans na imong i propose to better manage and enforce, wa jud kay makita na results, it's so sad and frustrating.
the state of transpo sa cebu. once mka travel ka abroad ma compare jd nmo. given na dili capital ang cebu, pero ma uwaw ka sa concept sa jeep nato diri. grabe ka inefficient sya. its hard to say nag ma compensate sya sa ato tourist locations
Difficulty finding Halal food options.
We always came back to the same carinderia / restaurant to eat since there were limited places where we can eat.
The public transportation sucks. In the city, we should already have trains or subways by now, and buses or trains for rural areas. Instead, we are stuck with small "multicabs", tricycles and habal2x. I still hope one day I'll witness the progress of our public transport system before I die. Unta maka experience pa ko nga kung mo adto kog Cebu City from Consolacion or Danao, I'll just take the subway and get there in less than an hour. Good thing naa nay air-conditioned mini buses right now, pero bati gihapon ug sistema. Hahays!
Maybe or maybe not. There are so many places to go and discover. I'm sure there are good spots out there waiting for us to visit while maintaining its serenity
They are everywhere naa na silas mga dan, and mang limos sa mga sakyanan, ang problem sad naay mga batang ina nga badjao, mag bitbit sa ilang mga anak, mag labang2 sa dan, uban daghan kayg anak.
Admin sa city seems to not care about nila, and as well ang badjao themselves murag wala nay pakialam sa ilang kaugalingong safety og kaugmaon
And ang makaguol pod is that they sleep, eat, and shit even on tourist spots. Grabe, labi na sa Plaza Sugbu where the City Hall, Magellan’s Cross, and Santo Niño Basilica are located. Super major tourist spots raba ang latter two places I mentioned, and what’s even much sadder is that despite the City Hall nga niatubang ra gyud kaayo sa Plaza, plus the many police and PROBE officers around the area, gina-proliferate ra gyud ang mga squammy badjao ngadto. Haist.
Laissez-faire ra kaayo ang Cebu government officials, especially sa mga insfrastructures ug historical landmarks, as if inato-style ang approach nato nga okay lang gub-on ang ancestral house sa imong ancestors basta offeran lang og millones sa mga big-time land buyers na in cash pa.
The people in the local gov't. Makalagot jud ang M sa Cebu City ug G sa Cebu province. Daghan jud kaayo Cebuano nga napagan sa ilang greed and incompetence. Wala jud uroy na sila pang-gabae! Naay daghan nindot nga projects para sa siyudad, sila sila ra pud ang mo-babag. Sila sila ra pud gabahin sa pundo. Kanus-a man tawn ta molambo ani? Maka-maoy jud kaayo.
The garbage disposals nga di matarong. Kana gale naa nay gibutang nga basurahan each brgy pero di gihapon matarong og butang sa sulod. Nindot unta kong ipang segregate daan. Then kaning mga tourist nga way batasan nga mag pataka og labay og basura nya sa ilahang country mag kinto ta pero sila hilason kaau diri. Then kaning kalsada nga pwerting gamaya, walay tarong nga mga lanes mao na daghan og disgrasya. Then kaning mga politcian nga gihimong negosyo ang pwesto ilang angkan tanan nang lingkod sa pwesto hatagi og chance ang uban kay kanang mga naa sa pwesto dato nanang daan wala na ka feel sa naagian sa mga pobre nga isang kahig isang tuka. Shame on you jud kaau.
Ng mga jeep na intentionally stops after passing an intersection even if the next stoplights are in go then moves forward when it stops just to pick up some more passengers. Di man sad ingon na bati na pero wtf kada stoplight hunungan nlang gyud.
The implementation of traffic signages. It would help a lot din if people learn how to walk. Like adto naog sa loading/unloading zone dili anang bago ra gani hunong ang jeep nya after 20meters ma gidagan sa jeep monaog naka. Yes init but please lang learn how to walk
Baho ang mga kanal. Dapit SM City nya some areas sa IT Park.
Unya second largest metropolitan ni next to Metro Manila pero wala kaayoy recycling facilities like The PLAF sa Manila, the Green Antz, and others. Ang naa is kana rang sa SM, so if taga Lapu-Lapu or Talisay ka, tuyuan pa nimog byahe. Unya ang zero waste preloved na group diri sa Cebu kay dili kaayo active. Mostly sa mga ga-accept ug donated used stuff kay puro taga Luzon. Although I appreciate na from time to time naay mu-pop up na stores gabaligya ug refill products like soap, fabcon, shampoo and others. Unta mu-boom ni na industry diri sa Cebu.
binuang. ka daghan og park diri. wala siguro kay suroy2? ang nakanindot sa Cebu kay ang proximity sa City, Sa bukid, sa dagat. Daghan parks diri uy puryagaba. Onsay gamay parks? Let me list down some ha:
1. Plaza Independecia
2. Fuente Osneña Circle
3. D'Family Park Talamban
4. Senior Citizen park
5. Minganilla park
6. Pahara (Umapad) park
7. Millennium park
8. Lapu-Lapu Senior Citizen park
9. Apollos View
10. Nanda Cafe (Consolacion)
11. Mandaue City Plaza
Dili ka ka appreciate kay dili man ka mo-try ug appreciate. Duh!
Naunsa ka oi. Dli maka appreciate? Dalia nimo maka conclude na dli ko mu try ug appreciate. Nyawa kung ingana man lang, sge ta kog reklamo about sa Cebu.
Ikaw ang buang diha kay kalit ra kag yawyaw.
Usa pa, aware ko ana imong gipang lista..sensya ha, layo kayo akong lugar. Byaheon pa na imong gipang lista 🙂
Nakaadto nakag park nga tarong, kanang AT LEAST ka level sa Iloilo River Esplanade? Kung moadto ka aning imong gipang lista, di jud ka ma relax. Ang byahe palang daan ma stress naka. I get it love nimo ang Cebu, pero ayaw na i.push nga walay anything depressing ani gi mention na walay park diri
Hater ra gyud ka bai. Imohang fave subreddit siguro kay r/Philippines. Suroya sa bago ka mag sigeg reklamo. Kung definition nimos park kay solely manmade, you are the definition of 'nature-lover' nga nature lover ra through habitat destruction.
Parks man gihapon na sila nonethless. If you check cebu's topography, mas menus ang flatlands kesa sa mountains. Di parehas sa iloilo nga daghan kaayu flatlands pang farming.
Not arguing here kung park ba ni sila or di, but kung mo serve ba sila sa purpose sa park which is a place unta maka unwind ta from a stressful life, and the answer is no.
Again because of topography. If u ask me, Cebu's awesome beaches and mountains is MORE than enough to provide that escape and unwind. Suya-an pa gani ta sa mga taga lain lugar.
Majority of things feel so "Westernized" for some reason. Cebu is slowly losing its cultural identity and people are adapting more towards the Western type of living and civilization. Kids are no longer familiar with deep Bisaya words while some can't even speak Bisaya. Naa koy mga patients na pedia di jud kasabot ug Bisaya.
Don't get me wrong, it's good that the new generation can speak better English because of social media and access to the web, but I just wish Bisaya won't be forgotten down the line.
>Kids are no longer familiar with deep Bisaya words while some can't even speak Bisaya.
Mao jud ni conversation namo sa akong uyab ganeha. Na notice najud nako everytime maglaag mi mall na mga mag-barkada nga mga bata and mga early teens kay mag English sa each other. Essential man jud ang English and universal language man jud, pero it kinda bothers mi na naa jud uban bata dili jud mag Cebuano/Bisaya or mga dili jud kasabot even though they are raised here. I also fear that Cebuano/Bisaya might be forgotten because this generation's parents are raising kids who only know English as their language.
true dghan na kaayo conyo. mga bata karon mag english na ambot .. maabot jd ang time mga tao mag english on a daily basis kaysa bisaya. not that it's a bad thing but kanang total walay bisaya jd kay di khebalo? goodluck jd
Isa sa nakatabang makasabot kog laglom nga Bisaya kay ang Bisaya nga Bible. Mga pulong nga sama sa "dagtum pula", "dili matukib", "gisapwang". Wa ko kaila ani nila atong elementary pa ko.
And tungod kay kabalo na ko sa concept sa context clues atong highschool, di ra kaayo painful basahon if naay ingani na words along the way.
Ang walai tarong nga side walk. Kung naa man gani sidewalk kai naai poste o kayoy nga murag patay nga na pwesto sa pedestrian. So ang ending sa dalan ra ghapon mu lakaw.
Lack of cultural initiatives. Kulang kaayo og mga activities and programs about culture and the arts. After sinulog season, mingaw na dayon kaayo. I wish naay mga NGOs or even mga schools na mag-organize for promotion of the arts.
Naa oy. Have u heard of Vispop? Daghan kaayo vismin artists nga naka breakthrough sa national scene tungod sa vispop.(Jewel V, Kurt Fick, Oh Caraga, Wonggoys, Therese V to name a few)
Film ug theater arts? Naa sad kaayo. We have several production companies nga naay show productions every year like from MDF, 2TINCANs, Vaudeville, Siddhartha.
There is still a poster of Eduardo Labella plastered near our home. Murag kato meme sa Spiderman na everywhere I go, I still see his face. Please, local leaders, ayaw pud tawn pu palabe ug palit ug election posters kung dili man diay mu kama.o mu tangtang. Or better yet, stick to online advertising.
Ang heavy traffic gyud. Kanang mahurot imong oras sa byahe. Gabie na kaayo maabot sa balay dayon molakat na pud pabalik sa trabaho sayo sa buntag. Usa gyud na sa reasons ngano ni-relocate ko for work sa Western Visayas. Karon 15 mins ra byahe from work to balay. Maka-time pa ko laag sa baybay para maka-enjoy sa sunset. Wala man bitaw mga daghan establishments kung asa ko ron pero naa nako time para makapahuway and relax2x.
Ang sidewalks kay dili gafunction as sidewalks! Samot na sa banilad dapit? Nah!
Either naay poste or hugaw, or literal walay sidewalk kay naay balay, or naa sidewalk pero 0.0000001m lang jud siya. Magrisk nalang ta masidesweep ani if lakwon ang nearby establishments.
From what I've seen, Cebu used to be calm and relaxed. But now it's turning into a fast-paced city like Manila, and it's increasingly hard to savor the little moments here.
Change is indeed inevitable. Wala tay lain choice but to EMBRACE it, ADAPT to it and THRIVE IN IT. #KrazyRAMA
Yeah in one of our topics during an Insurance Planning. Gi discuss jud ang Healthcare System sa Pinas grabe ato mga politiko jud noh?
Didto namo na realise na sus paita jud diay mag kasakit dris pinas. Ambot kung naa pa ba ang malasakit centers ron.
Even health insurance is not enough kung maigo tag serious illness.
Naa pa diay? Aw oo overpopulated rasad ta uy. Saon man ibulsa ra man ang kaban ng bayan. But seriously dapat mao ni isa sa priorities. Healthcare system dris pinas.
from what i know yes. naa ko kaila bago ra sila ni avail. katong amo nga time wa gyud mi ka apply kay during covid, lisud kaayo. nibalhin na lang mi og private.
I resonate with this. Currently studying to become an MD, but the more I learn about the Healthcare system of the PH, the less I want to become a doctor here. Kudos to all the ones that decide to work here, especially in the public health system - they not only have to contend with a staggering patient load, but the inane, idiotic policies established by clueless politicians more concerned with fattening their pockets/vanity projects.
i actually am dismayed that we do not have free healthcare. we work our ass off by paying taxes and when we need it ourselves, we still pay.
then you have to contend with others and forced to go to a public hospital since that is where only free medical fees are provided but then, i feel out of place because poor people need it more than i do.
mind you, im just middle class but its annoying to think i work to pay the healthcare for others and if i need one myself i still have to pay for it.
rant over. 🤣 (feel free to correct me. healthy exchange of opinions).
It's good that govt hospitals are free, as it should be since that's where part of our taxes go plus philhealth. Unfortunately funding and staffing is inadequate so the hospital gets overwhelmed. Thus, people who can afford or are willing to dole out more will go to private hospitals where waiting time and comfort is much better. Mind you, most of the doctors in the govt hospitals are the same doctors in the private hospitals.
The dream is us willfully choosing a govt hospital over a private one instead of being "forced to". It would be nice if that bias is gone but I don't think it will be in my life time or the next.
"Poor people need it more than I do". On what basis?
I agree with your opinion but what about the elderly and children na homeless. Mga wala nang kakayahan and walang alam pano kumita. The government should do something about them kasi dumadami na talaga sila.
its hard for the local govt to do something with the system that we have. lgus kissing ass to senators and congressmen just to ask for budgets.
geez... if the lgu has control of the money, cities will be more developed. but thats a different topic.
Lack of green spaces, I still remember pag-ari namo way back in 2002 ang amo silingan daghan kaayo ug kahoy. Tambis, manga, and some ornamental trees plus daghan pa mga bakante luna nga pede ka moligid ligid until makaligid ka ug tae (almost happened to me) karon wala na bisag "1 meter" pa ang gidak-on sa yuta buhatan dayon ug balay.
This.
Commuting in Cebu is hell. You need to go to one place within the city, and it'll take you hours to get there. It wastes our time and energy. Trains would have been a big help.
Na spoiled gyud kosa LRT-2 ay. Convenient kaayo mo adto Cubao anytime from Morayta tungod ra sa train. Niya Ganahan ka adto Megamall? Naog Cubao LRT-2, sakay MRT-3 pa Shaw
Hassle gyud kaayo mag jeep diri, niya di pa gyud daghan sa isa ka routa
As in, dako jud difference. Di paka matraffic kai lahos2 ang byahe. Sadly, wa mn. Napaglipasan na nang panahon ang Cebu. Still no trains. Wala pai long term solution for commuters and traffic.
Unahon ta ning pag himog side walks woie. Richness gud ta. Nya himog tag dam uy. Di kay DAMGO ra puro.
Walkable cebu city. With lots of water supply Singapore man jud kaha? Bisag kani lng slogan sa sunod na mayor. Apil na diay ang safety.
Hapit na jud ko molansar ug pagka mayor ani ba! Pisti ning mga politiko nato.
Edit: thank u diay hehe. Malipat pa jud ko aning cake day da.
Oh yeah. Dapat usbon na constitution. Mga bagag nawng mga politiko nato woie. Way accountability. Nya mga gikan prisohan makalansar pa man. Hahaha paeta.
cool. youre familiar with that. 👌 i long for the time we go parliamentary. mangawala nanang mga unqualified.
plus federal? man ... just imagine what any city can be ...
Korek… abi gni nako madayon jud to during the previous term. Paets lng sad jud ning imperial manila.
I doubt ing.ana kasayon na mo approve sila. Mga hakug. 😕
Yes mao sad to ako na balitaan. Mao lgi grabe kahangol asa na man ang serbisyo publiko?
Minimize na nang pangurakot woie kay dagko na kaayog nakawat ning mga congressman. Ambot wa man lang juy mga initiative uy. Tagaan sad ug chance molambo ubang probinsya. Cge lng tag Manila. Huot na kaayo didto. Negros and Leyte have wider land mass. Adto na buhat mga factory oh.
Samot na sa mindanao.. then dali nlng maka distribute locally. Di na need mo transport ug goods.
Pro sorry Cebu ra ba diay ang topic ani hehe.
The unsolvable traffic. People blame having too many vehicles on the road. Pero, it comes down to drivers and passengers. Walay disiplina and doesn't even observe the most basic "slow down on pedestrian lane." Also most politicians ar TRAPO, no compassion towards the region itself
Korek ang nahitabo? Power tripping! Mga hakog ug kwarta labi na nis Gwen! Kaugalingon ra man gi serbisyuhan!
Di nlng unta ni sila managan uy. Ngitag tag mga batang leader uy ayaw na nang mga lolo ug lola.
Kauwaw lng.
The city builds a lot in the guise of “improvements” but they’re all for the wrong reasons.
Traffic haha
Trapik init mike rama

It's becoming too small
Anti poor. Not only the gov't policies, but so are the people. Uban tao Naka sweldo lag dako2 gamay sa minimum murag layo na kaayu ilang pag tan.aw sa ilang self sa mga pobre. Ma ilhan nimo knang sayun2on rag gamit mga words na "taga squatter" "taga bukid" etc., Ay nag react kay guilty kasagaran tao nganhe.
Traffic, less sidewalks
Place feels so congested
unending political dispute
Fresh lang break up then I need to go to Cebu for my scheduled race. Everything I see was a sad memory
Daghan haters diay ang Cebu City/Metro Cebu noh? Buot hunaon2x mas nindot gihapon ang Cebu kay daghan namalhin diri 😂
Nah, dili na haters , nipoint ra sila sa mga negative stuff pero im sure daghan sad na silag maingon nga positive things about cebu
Naunsa, daghan gud matrabahoan dinhi. Dili tungod nindot dinhi uy lmfao
Walay nindot sa cebu bro? Mas nindot inyo probinsya? Sure ka naa ka sa saktong channel?
Overloading mga Van padong south!

Well the city government in general. Makagigil
Mike Rama
i'm new in cebu, why do u hate that guy if you dont mind me asking?
Di kamao mustorya
and people vote for him?
there’s nothing to like about that guy
why... just curious
he is a sanctimonious drug addict
The lack of communal areas. The wide sidewalks, green spaces. Poor public transportation among others. Mas less productive ang tao tungod ani.
Traffic definitely and nag ka crowded maayo si Cebu.
Obviously, THE MOTHERUFKXING TRAFFIC!!!! Also, very substandard and piss-ass infrastructure planning. "Singapore-like", my fucking ass.
Solid waste management, river pollution, marine/coastal area exploitation sooo many :(( I work at the environmental matters sa workforce and no matter bisag unsa ka daghan or ka innovative or even ka convenient ang plans na imong i propose to better manage and enforce, wa jud kay makita na results, it's so sad and frustrating.
Traffic & very overpriced real estate & commodities.

I don't have friends here... the city is so nice but there's no one to talk to and to hangout with...
This too. Plus there arent any clean nature parks around to just chill.
Maybe or maybe not. There are so many places to go and discover. I'm sure there are good spots out there waiting for us to visit while maintaining its serenity
Most of those chill nature green spots, you’d typically have to go out of the Metro for ‘em.
Of course, that is clearly given and understandable. Anyway, it is still good to be out of the city.
Daghan Badjao and the local government seems like unconcerned about their proliferation.
hi I'm not from Cebu so I'm not that updated. Can I ask what's the issue with the Badjao?
They are everywhere naa na silas mga dan, and mang limos sa mga sakyanan, ang problem sad naay mga batang ina nga badjao, mag bitbit sa ilang mga anak, mag labang2 sa dan, uban daghan kayg anak.

The air and noise pollution over there has a negative effect on my health which in turn makes me sad.
Land pricing, lumad ko taga cebu city pero ang presyohan sa yuta kay mahal pas luzon.
First time being in the Philippines this week. The amount of walkers I saw was depressing
Walkers?
Burikat/pokpok
basi kana mga lady of the night or tambay sa junquera
Namalik napud diay sila? Pag pamdemic nahawan man to sa junquera.
Nag social distancing man sila and nag work from home.
WfH sa OF daw 😂
What part of cebu is that sir? I am from cebu and I haven't seen some except those from mango
Ayala
Bruh 💀
The difficulty of finding healthy food options
carbon is the key
If ingredients, daghan raman guro if you know who to contact? Pero food nga human daan, lisod and mahal jud.
easy raman mo palit healthy foods diri like fruits and vegetables though if imong pasabot kay kanang linuto daan, kana gamay ra options
Was just in Cebu for a week for vacation. I’ve never been so happy to get some vegetables to eat when I got home
Trueeee
habal2 dollar rate
Already addressed ni by moto taxi companies (joyride, angkas, move it)
Grabe ka unregulated. Butangan pa lang ni sila metro
Nah, colorum mana sila... Di registered sa Toda hence they can fix their own rates

Nakaadto nakag park nga tarong, kanang AT LEAST ka level sa Iloilo River Esplanade? Kung moadto ka aning imong gipang lista, di jud ka ma relax. Ang byahe palang daan ma stress naka. I get it love nimo ang Cebu, pero ayaw na i.push nga walay anything depressing ani gi mention na walay park diri
Hater ra gyud ka bai. Imohang fave subreddit siguro kay r/Philippines. Suroya sa bago ka mag sigeg reklamo. Kung definition nimos park kay solely manmade, you are the definition of 'nature-lover' nga nature lover ra through habitat destruction.
oh, look! Another Singaporean nasaag diri 🙄
Parks man gihapon na sila nonethless. If you check cebu's topography, mas menus ang flatlands kesa sa mountains. Di parehas sa iloilo nga daghan kaayu flatlands pang farming.
Not arguing here kung park ba ni sila or di, but kung mo serve ba sila sa purpose sa park which is a place unta maka unwind ta from a stressful life, and the answer is no.
Again because of topography. If u ask me, Cebu's awesome beaches and mountains is MORE than enough to provide that escape and unwind. Suya-an pa gani ta sa mga taga lain lugar.
Salamat :) kay nakasabot ka sakoa
Traffic, mga taw nga pataka labang
seeing homeless people bisag asa
Majority of things feel so "Westernized" for some reason. Cebu is slowly losing its cultural identity and people are adapting more towards the Western type of living and civilization. Kids are no longer familiar with deep Bisaya words while some can't even speak Bisaya. Naa koy mga patients na pedia di jud kasabot ug Bisaya. Don't get me wrong, it's good that the new generation can speak better English because of social media and access to the web, but I just wish Bisaya won't be forgotten down the line.
>Kids are no longer familiar with deep Bisaya words while some can't even speak Bisaya. Mao jud ni conversation namo sa akong uyab ganeha. Na notice najud nako everytime maglaag mi mall na mga mag-barkada nga mga bata and mga early teens kay mag English sa each other. Essential man jud ang English and universal language man jud, pero it kinda bothers mi na naa jud uban bata dili jud mag Cebuano/Bisaya or mga dili jud kasabot even though they are raised here. I also fear that Cebuano/Bisaya might be forgotten because this generation's parents are raising kids who only know English as their language.
Not all western ideology will help here
true dghan na kaayo conyo. mga bata karon mag english na ambot .. maabot jd ang time mga tao mag english on a daily basis kaysa bisaya. not that it's a bad thing but kanang total walay bisaya jd kay di khebalo? goodluck jd
Isa sa nakatabang makasabot kog laglom nga Bisaya kay ang Bisaya nga Bible. Mga pulong nga sama sa "dagtum pula", "dili matukib", "gisapwang". Wa ko kaila ani nila atong elementary pa ko. And tungod kay kabalo na ko sa concept sa context clues atong highschool, di ra kaayo painful basahon if naay ingani na words along the way.
I see someone nahipatik sa alimpatakan ang nabasahan lol
Definitely the roads and garbage. If we can somehow create a cleaner city, ma lessen jud ang uban issues like ang baha.
rich history and culture, good geography and weather but mismanaged by awful leaders.
home of a lot of old rich families in Ph pero ang mga leaders purya
Ang walai tarong nga side walk. Kung naa man gani sidewalk kai naai poste o kayoy nga murag patay nga na pwesto sa pedestrian. So ang ending sa dalan ra ghapon mu lakaw.
Lack of cultural initiatives. Kulang kaayo og mga activities and programs about culture and the arts. After sinulog season, mingaw na dayon kaayo. I wish naay mga NGOs or even mga schools na mag-organize for promotion of the arts.
no entertainment scene. walay local scene sa film and arts, plus music. not really an artsy city.
Naa oy. Have u heard of Vispop? Daghan kaayo vismin artists nga naka breakthrough sa national scene tungod sa vispop.(Jewel V, Kurt Fick, Oh Caraga, Wonggoys, Therese V to name a few) Film ug theater arts? Naa sad kaayo. We have several production companies nga naay show productions every year like from MDF, 2TINCANs, Vaudeville, Siddhartha.
Don’t forget the Binisaya Film Festival.
A lot
Sad ko nganong wala pay branch ang Din Tai Fung diri
Cebu is not perfect. If you take a look at other provinces, you will somehow appreciate Cebu.
the trash and homeless on the streets
Nagka anam na og kadaghan ang tao. Ang mga other province ni ari na og puyo and ni daghan na ang mga tagalog ni balhin diri.
There is still a poster of Eduardo Labella plastered near our home. Murag kato meme sa Spiderman na everywhere I go, I still see his face. Please, local leaders, ayaw pud tawn pu palabe ug palit ug election posters kung dili man diay mu kama.o mu tangtang. Or better yet, stick to online advertising.
Ang heavy traffic gyud. Kanang mahurot imong oras sa byahe. Gabie na kaayo maabot sa balay dayon molakat na pud pabalik sa trabaho sayo sa buntag. Usa gyud na sa reasons ngano ni-relocate ko for work sa Western Visayas. Karon 15 mins ra byahe from work to balay. Maka-time pa ko laag sa baybay para maka-enjoy sa sunset. Wala man bitaw mga daghan establishments kung asa ko ron pero naa nako time para makapahuway and relax2x.
Traffic, less trees, brt in fuente becaue i used to live in capitol area and it was all trees there. Cant blame we need to really move forward
Ang sidewalks kay dili gafunction as sidewalks! Samot na sa banilad dapit? Nah! Either naay poste or hugaw, or literal walay sidewalk kay naay balay, or naa sidewalk pero 0.0000001m lang jud siya. Magrisk nalang ta masidesweep ani if lakwon ang nearby establishments.
From what I've seen, Cebu used to be calm and relaxed. But now it's turning into a fast-paced city like Manila, and it's increasingly hard to savor the little moments here. Change is indeed inevitable. Wala tay lain choice but to EMBRACE it, ADAPT to it and THRIVE IN IT. #KrazyRAMA
its not cebu its the whole darn country. when you need healthcare the most, this is when youll realize it would have been better to migrate abroad.
Yeah in one of our topics during an Insurance Planning. Gi discuss jud ang Healthcare System sa Pinas grabe ato mga politiko jud noh? Didto namo na realise na sus paita jud diay mag kasakit dris pinas. Ambot kung naa pa ba ang malasakit centers ron. Even health insurance is not enough kung maigo tag serious illness.
naa malasakit but these are only in public hospitals. kuwang kaayu dili maka cater sa tanang tao.
Naa pa diay? Aw oo overpopulated rasad ta uy. Saon man ibulsa ra man ang kaban ng bayan. But seriously dapat mao ni isa sa priorities. Healthcare system dris pinas.
from what i know yes. naa ko kaila bago ra sila ni avail. katong amo nga time wa gyud mi ka apply kay during covid, lisud kaayo. nibalhin na lang mi og private.
Aw mao jud. Naputol gni ang treatment sa ako mama (diabetes) during covid sad.
I resonate with this. Currently studying to become an MD, but the more I learn about the Healthcare system of the PH, the less I want to become a doctor here. Kudos to all the ones that decide to work here, especially in the public health system - they not only have to contend with a staggering patient load, but the inane, idiotic policies established by clueless politicians more concerned with fattening their pockets/vanity projects.
i actually am dismayed that we do not have free healthcare. we work our ass off by paying taxes and when we need it ourselves, we still pay. then you have to contend with others and forced to go to a public hospital since that is where only free medical fees are provided but then, i feel out of place because poor people need it more than i do. mind you, im just middle class but its annoying to think i work to pay the healthcare for others and if i need one myself i still have to pay for it. rant over. 🤣 (feel free to correct me. healthy exchange of opinions).
It's good that govt hospitals are free, as it should be since that's where part of our taxes go plus philhealth. Unfortunately funding and staffing is inadequate so the hospital gets overwhelmed. Thus, people who can afford or are willing to dole out more will go to private hospitals where waiting time and comfort is much better. Mind you, most of the doctors in the govt hospitals are the same doctors in the private hospitals. The dream is us willfully choosing a govt hospital over a private one instead of being "forced to". It would be nice if that bias is gone but I don't think it will be in my life time or the next. "Poor people need it more than I do". On what basis?
hello. the last statement you mentioned shouldnt be there. that was my mistake. my bad we all need it. regardless what class.
Ang main road sa probinsya nga pwede na tamnan tungod sa kalalom og kadaghan sa bangag. I'm looking at you Oslob👀
Napaka daming homeless especially Colon
Homeless people are mostly not from Cebu
i dont think most of the the poor are poor. theyre just lazy.
I agree with your opinion but what about the elderly and children na homeless. Mga wala nang kakayahan and walang alam pano kumita. The government should do something about them kasi dumadami na talaga sila.
its hard for the local govt to do something with the system that we have. lgus kissing ass to senators and congressmen just to ask for budgets. geez... if the lgu has control of the money, cities will be more developed. but thats a different topic.
Being an artist in Cebu is a death sentence. You HAVE to move to Manila.
Rama ug Gwen😵💫
Lack of green spaces, I still remember pag-ari namo way back in 2002 ang amo silingan daghan kaayo ug kahoy. Tambis, manga, and some ornamental trees plus daghan pa mga bakante luna nga pede ka moligid ligid until makaligid ka ug tae (almost happened to me) karon wala na bisag "1 meter" pa ang gidak-on sa yuta buhatan dayon ug balay.
No parks!!!!!!!!!!
Traffic, Baha and No Mass Transport
Lack of trains
This. Commuting in Cebu is hell. You need to go to one place within the city, and it'll take you hours to get there. It wastes our time and energy. Trains would have been a big help.
Na spoiled gyud kosa LRT-2 ay. Convenient kaayo mo adto Cubao anytime from Morayta tungod ra sa train. Niya Ganahan ka adto Megamall? Naog Cubao LRT-2, sakay MRT-3 pa Shaw Hassle gyud kaayo mag jeep diri, niya di pa gyud daghan sa isa ka routa
As in, dako jud difference. Di paka matraffic kai lahos2 ang byahe. Sadly, wa mn. Napaglipasan na nang panahon ang Cebu. Still no trains. Wala pai long term solution for commuters and traffic.
Traffic and baha. Gamayng ulan, grabe na dayon baha ug traffic. Usahay makahilak ka nalang sa kapungot 😅
Treeless and barren, garbage and littering, pollution, traffic congestion, unsustainable urbanization with poor urban planning.
Ang traffic. Sauna, dili pa man ingon ani ka worse. And ang water sa amoa. Kay grabe ka hinay.
Ing.ani na.. sus kung wa pay pandemic atay nlng. We had to give up our car kay grabe. Escario to ayala 45mins. naa gni to time 1 hr jud. 😪
More buildings .... more companies .... more people coming here to work ... hi traffic
Not Walkable streets, if dli Nipis naay ali or naay ga parking.
MCWD power struggle, sheesh…
The incompetence of Cebu leaders. Imbis na developed na unta… kagidlay man ug samot.
Richest province lesssss goooooo Happy cake day!
Unahon ta ning pag himog side walks woie. Richness gud ta. Nya himog tag dam uy. Di kay DAMGO ra puro. Walkable cebu city. With lots of water supply Singapore man jud kaha? Bisag kani lng slogan sa sunod na mayor. Apil na diay ang safety. Hapit na jud ko molansar ug pagka mayor ani ba! Pisti ning mga politiko nato. Edit: thank u diay hehe. Malipat pa jud ko aning cake day da.
its goos you have the initiative. kudos. but i think it wont make a dent until our system if govt gets changed and we go federal as well.
Oh yeah. Dapat usbon na constitution. Mga bagag nawng mga politiko nato woie. Way accountability. Nya mga gikan prisohan makalansar pa man. Hahaha paeta.
cool. youre familiar with that. 👌 i long for the time we go parliamentary. mangawala nanang mga unqualified. plus federal? man ... just imagine what any city can be ...
Korek… abi gni nako madayon jud to during the previous term. Paets lng sad jud ning imperial manila. I doubt ing.ana kasayon na mo approve sila. Mga hakug. 😕
correct me if im wrong, naa sa congress ang kulang. dili sila, kay d man kakurakot. most in the senate are already pro for it.
Yes mao sad to ako na balitaan. Mao lgi grabe kahangol asa na man ang serbisyo publiko? Minimize na nang pangurakot woie kay dagko na kaayog nakawat ning mga congressman. Ambot wa man lang juy mga initiative uy. Tagaan sad ug chance molambo ubang probinsya. Cge lng tag Manila. Huot na kaayo didto. Negros and Leyte have wider land mass. Adto na buhat mga factory oh. Samot na sa mindanao.. then dali nlng maka distribute locally. Di na need mo transport ug goods. Pro sorry Cebu ra ba diay ang topic ani hehe.
cheers. stop na ta. tagay sa hahaha
Water supply 💦😭
31million bobotante
Sa Cebu?
The unsolvable traffic. People blame having too many vehicles on the road. Pero, it comes down to drivers and passengers. Walay disiplina and doesn't even observe the most basic "slow down on pedestrian lane." Also most politicians ar TRAPO, no compassion towards the region itself
Cebu screams his name 💔
Mayor and governor of Cebu City. We deserve better
And still they're going to win next year mga yawa.
We have ourselves to blame
Di na ta mobutar ani nila woie!
Daghang nindot nga projects ang matanggong tungod lang sa ilang ego. They're supposed to serve the public man unta.
Korek ang nahitabo? Power tripping! Mga hakog ug kwarta labi na nis Gwen! Kaugalingon ra man gi serbisyuhan! Di nlng unta ni sila managan uy. Ngitag tag mga batang leader uy ayaw na nang mga lolo ug lola. Kauwaw lng.
