Cebu Trip Report-one week in December 2018.
The upshot is that action in Cebu has deteriorated, in particular at Mango Plaza, and the dishonest practices of hotels there.
The report is from a resident of the Philippines and many time visitor to Cebu and addresses recent changes there. Bottom line is there are many places better to visit and spend your travel dollar than this City for a number of reasons.
Living in Dumaguete, I can also tell you that it also has gotten much worse, not even worth a day trip.
Reading the reports on Angeles City also the prices are way up and the opportunities way down. In short other countries than the Philippines may be worth more consideration. The only plus to the Philippines is the ease with which many women bed in spite of the overall poor quality.
