Wolfgang's Steakhouse PH has officially landed in Cebu!

World-famous Wolfgang’s Steakhouse Grill officially opens its first-ever Cebu branch at SM City Cebu, bringing the iconic taste of New York straight to the Queen City of the South. I had the chance to attend the exclusive opening event, and it was amazing to witness firsthand Cebu’s newest high-end dining destination come to life.

Thank you, Wolfgang's and Ms. Malou of MCubes!

Sinulog season always puts me in the mood to share

Sinulog season always puts me in the mood to share a piece of Cebu. For me, that usually means pasalubong and a quick stop at The Metro Stores never disappoints. From otap to dried mangoes and rosquillos, it’s comforting to see so many familiar favorites in one place, ready to bring home to family and friends. (Hint: You’ll find them at aisles 7 and 8. 😎)

The beauty of southern Cebu isn’t just where you end up. It's the ride itself. Every turn feels like a small discovery. A reminder that sometimes the journey is just as memorable as the destination.

The Healing Spring of Asturias is one of the town’s lesser-known spots. Many have tried it and swear that it works. For those who truly believe, it’s definitely real. And sometimes, that’s all that matters.

Seeing zebras in person is something else. They move with a quiet strength, every stripe sharp and defined. There’s a calm majesty to them that makes you stop and just watch. I swear I could stare at them the whole day.

Staying at Coco Grove Beach Resort during my first visit to Siquijor just felt right. With its great vibe and heartfelt hospitality, I seriously had no reason to look anywhere else.

I used to walk past this 'train street' almost every week, often without a second thought. Then I realized tourists from all over the world rush here to pose and snap photos of something I barely noticed. Thinking about it now, it makes me smile, how ordinary things in our lives can actually be someone else’s little wonder.

There's a constant hum of footsteps and voices. But the Chocolate Hills don’t seem to notice. They hold their ground in silence, unbothered, almost solemn. In the midst of all that movement, there’s a strange stillness. One that makes you slow down and look a little longer.

For the longest time, Siquijor felt so out of reac

For the longest time, Siquijor felt so out of reach. Island travel from Cebu to Siquijor would mean at least 5 hours to Dumaguete, then another ferry ride to the island. Fortunately, that changed this December.

Thanks to Sunlight Air's new direct flights from Cebu to Siquijor, my long-planned trip to the island finally became a reality.
