For 12 years, Sugbo.ph has been telling stories about Cebu. Behind every article is someone who searched for the story, asked the questions, took the photos, fixed the words, checked the details, and sometimes stayed up longer than planned just to make sure everything was right.
For me, being a Senior Editor is more than putting words together.
It means waking up knowing there is always another story waiting.
The Good Parts
One of the best parts of this job is getting to experience Cebu differently.
I get to visit places I might have never discovered on my own. I get to meet people with stories worth telling. I get to see businesses grow, events unfold, and destinations become part of someone else’s next adventure.
And writing is only one part of it.
There are days when I am a writer. Other days, I am behind a camera, editing a video, taking photos, brainstorming an idea, checking details, or helping someone else figure out how to tell their story.
Every day teaches me something new.
Then Come The Comments
Of course, not everything is easy.
When you put your work online, you also put it in front of thousands of opinions.
Some people appreciate what you write. Some disagree. Some correct you. And some comments can hurt more than you want to admit.
But after a while, you learn something important.
You cannot write for everyone.
You can only make sure that you did your part, told the story honestly, and gave it your best.
It Takes More Than One Person
Working at Sugbo.ph also taught me that good stories are never made by one person alone.
It takes writers, photographers, editors, designers, creatives, sales teams, developers, and everyone behind the scenes.
That is what makes this more than a job.
It is a shared passion.
And after 12 years of telling Cebu’s stories, that passion has become part of what Sugbo.ph is.
And Somehow, I Became Part of It
Looking back, I never imagined that writing about Cebu would also change the way I see it.
I became more curious about places I used to pass by.
I started noticing stories in ordinary moments.
I learned that there is always another person to meet, another place to discover, and another story waiting to be told.
For 12 years, Sugbo.ph has been telling Cebu’s story.
And somewhere along the way, it became part of mine, too.
So this time, I am not writing about a restaurant, a mountain, a beach, an event, or someone else’s story.
This one is mine.
And my name is Kylah, senior editor of Sugbo.ph
