Mactan Island Cebu, information on living in the Philippines, homes for sale, tourist and lodging

Where do you want to stay when visiting Mactan Island, Cebu City? 5 Star at budget prices. Shangri-La and many other beautiful seaside resorts, people and places await your visit here.

Only in the Philippines...
 Mactan Island Cebu, a beautiful island located about 1 hour south of Manila by plane is one of the reasons this area is called, Pearl of the South. Hosting not only world class 5-Star resorts, easily accessible by its International Mactan Airport, the island is home for the cities of Lapulapu City (also called Lapu-Lapu depending upon where you read), Pusok, and Basak. Cebu City is only a short drive away as well as Mandaue being accessible across either of the two bridges which connect to the island.

 What's down the road for Mactan.com? Being a relatively new site (we came on-line on January 26, 2006), but one which has already experienced large amounts of visitation, our goal will be to provide residents of the island, visitors from other parts of the Philippines and of course, those in other countries, with a way to find what they're looking for when they come to our beautiful island.
 
 Additional reference information about Mactan is available on our web links and Free Classified Advertising pages. If you're a local business wanting listed on our site just complete an information request form. Our goal is to provide as much information about Mactan as possible including homes for sale, homes for rent, land for sale, vacation hot spots and weekend get-a-way locations - we look forward to any comments about how we're doing.
 
 Thank you for stopping by and we look forward to providing you with an excellent web browsing experience.
 
 Editor in chief,
 Mactan

 Mactan.com wishes to thank the Cadillac-Cafe for its gracious sponsoring of our web project. Without these fine people, this project would not be possible.

 Getting to know the Philippines, Statistically

Items of InterestBartman writes "
 IntroductionPhilippines
Background:
 The Philippine Islands became a Spanish colony during the 16th century; they were ceded to the US in 1898 following the Spanish-American War. The islands attained their independence in 1946 after Japanese occupation in World War II. The 21-year rule of Ferdinand MARCOS ended in 1986, when a widespread popular rebellion forced him into exile. In 1992, the US closed its last military bases on the islands. The Philippines has had a series of electoral presidential transitions since the removal of MARCOS. The government continues to struggle with armed Muslim insurgencies in the south.

 Digging on Mactan Island’s Historic Portfolio

Items of InterestAbay writes "
Mactan, Lapu-Lapu or Opon….sounds familiar?

           The signboards and road routes marked on jeepneys says “Opon” while the welcome note you’ll see while passing over the old bridge reads Mactan-Mandaue Bridge.“ The locals formally have known it as “Lapu-Lapu City.”  But then again, passenger dispatchers call it out as Opon not Lapu-Lapu.   Known to many, “Mactan” is set to be the most famous name for the island.  If you want proof just ask tourists, foreigners, travelers and even fellow countrymen from other regions of the Philippines

 Summer in Cebu

Items of InterestBartman writes "
Summer season is just around the corner. Everyone is planning where they’re going to spend their vacation. Some want to go to the mountains of Baguio city, others want to see the crater of the Taal Volcano. But most people want to go to the beach. For me, one place comes to mind. '"Cebu"

 Cell Phones in the Philippines

Items of InterestAdvertman writes "
Traveling to the Philippines raises the question about how to keep in touch with your communications devices, i.e. your cell phone.  Questions you may have are, do you use your phone from your home country (will it work?) while you're here and what are the International rates?  Should you rent a cell phone while in the Philippines?
