Cebu City: A day tour in the Queen City of the South

Cebu is a popular tourist destination located in central Philippines. Known for its rich history especially during the 1521 expedition of Ferdinand Magellan, it is home to various tourist attractions. It was a dark Friday morning on July 5, 2024, when we arrived at Mactan-Cebu International Airport at past four o'clock in the morning. We then rode a taxi to our hotel, RF Suites, located along A.R. Villanueva Street in Cebu City. My mom paid an initial 500 pesos (around 8.5 US dollars) in February, followed by the onsite payment of 5,500 pesos for two nights (around 1,833 pesos per night) at the reception desk. Our kasambahay (house helper) for fourteen years who hails from Bantayan arrived in Cebu City the day before we arrived and was in her room waiting for us.
