About Cebu-Davao

Cebu-Davao is an independent digital magazine about the two great cities of the southern Philippines — Cebu, the Queen City of the South, and Davao, the gateway to Mindanao — and the islands in between.

What we cover

• News and explainers — public-service guides on typhoon signals, IDs, travel rules and big local projects, plus a live headline wire.
• Travel — how to actually get there, what it costs and when to go.
• Food — lechon, kinilaw and home recipes from Visayas and Mindanao kitchens.
• Culture, sports, entertainment, money & work and tech.
• Free reader tools: weather forecasts, a peso converter, a Bisaya dictionary and more.

Our story

The site started more than a decade ago as a personal blog about life between Cebu and Davao — recipes, road trips, music and the occasional rant about slow internet. It later became a travel journal written from Texas with a wanderer's eye on the Philippines; those moving and renting guides live on in our Living Abroad archive. In 2026 we relaunched Cebu-Davao as a fuller magazine, rebuilt our most-read guides from scratch and added live tools for readers.

How we work

Our guides are written and updated by the Cebu-Davao Editorial Team. We check facts against official sources, label prices as estimates, and correct mistakes openly. Read our editorial policy.
