“Build Build Cebu” indeed as Cebu has been booming with infrastructures built and an abundance of soon-to-rise projects for the past years.

A new one in the near future is Global City Mandaue, a world-class district that will rise in Mandaue City, Cebu which just had its groundbreaking last May 12. It has an initial project cost of P20 billion.
It is said to be the “game-changer” by the governor. A reclamation project that spans 101 hectares along the Mactan Channel near the Marcelo Fernan Bridge, and about 2.7km from the Mactan Cebu International Airport (MCIA).
It would create overflowing business opportunities and open countless developments for both the city and the province and was also pointed out by Mandaue City’s Mayor Jonas Cortes that this grand project will attract more investors which eventually will lead to generating thousands of jobs for all Cebuanos.

It seems like this master-planned Global city is just starting as it will have three world-class districts namely:
Civic District
This will house the new Mandaue City Hall, Civic Center, and a ferry terminal to bring economic activity to the city.
Commercial District
World-class malls, outdoor, lifestyle, shopping, and retail centers, and hotels
Waterfront Luxury.

“Mandauehanons will witness endless possibilities of progress within Global City Mandaue, my team and I promise to endeavor to bring your vision of making this new City of Mandaue a premier landmark destination into a reality.”
– SHEILA ROMERO, GLOBAL CITY MANDAUE CHAIRPERSON AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
According to Romero, this plan was started for a bigger and better Mandaue City that honors the heritage of Mandaue City through the symbolic “Bantayan sa Hari” or the watchtower. The watchtower symbolizes the transformation from the old city to the new.

Canizares Architects Designs – will serve as their local architects

Migrating and leaving the Philippines is such a huge step that we have to consider it many times. One of the key points to consider is “to what country?”
Toronto, Canada | Photo from Unsplash
If you’re leaving and haven’t decided yet, take a look at our list as we have here the best and easiest countries to migrate to.
1. Canada
At the top is Canada as no surprise there. The country has one of the most relaxed immigration laws in the world and as proof, a lot of our countrymen are already there. They also have plenty of different programs you can choose from such as family, investment, worker, student, and more.
Canada | Photo from UnsplashCanada | Photo from UnsplashCanada | Photo from Unsplash
2. New Zealand
Filipinos have chosen to migrate to New Zealand a lot. This is because New Zealand has openly called for more Filipino professionals in the field of nursing and engineering in the past. It also has several options available for applicants and adds on its history of over 29,000 recorded Filipino permanent residents in the country in 2019, you definitely stand a chance.

3. Singapore
Singapore is probably the nearest you could go so it is also chosen by Filipinos. It’s one of the most developed countries in Southeast Asia. As a prosperous and busy country, the advantages of living there are very tempting. According to those who have tried, getting citizenship isn’t so bad and the real hurdle is permanent residency.
Singapore | Photo from UnsplashSingapore | Photo from UnsplashSingapore | Photo from UnsplashSingapore | Photo from Unsplash
4. Australia
Australia was hailed as a country that has the most livable cities in the world. No wonder, a strong population of Filipinos is already there. The thought of other countrymen having your back is comfort itself but most importantly, it also means the country is open to accepting immigrants.
Australia | Photo from UnsplashAustralia | Photo from UnsplashAustralia | Photo from Unsplash
5. France
This is a place you didn’t expect. It was not easy to move here years ago but its data now says otherwise. It seems the country grants more and more resident permits to non-European nationals each year. More grants mean bigger chance for you.
France | Photo from UnsplashFrance | Photo from UnsplashFrance | Photo from UnsplashFrance | Photo from Unsplash
6. Germany
Germany is a European country that has very advantageous opportunities and way of living and working if you are already there. You can get there easier though if you know basic German. So if you really want to go here, learn their language first.

There is no fast and easy shortcut but these are certain countries that offer better options and better chances for you so you might want to consider them first.

Our go-to medical laboratory for all our urgent health tests is finally opening with regular operating hours in all of its branches.
Hi-Precision Diagnostics (HPD) is a staple in every Cebuano home providing a wide array of quality services with just an easy walk-in and out process. It has always strived to be set apart in terms of quality, service, and pricing since its inception in the year 2000.
The good news is, HPD has opened branches in key locations around Cebu to reach more people and accommodate their medical testing needs.
Here are some reasons why Hi-Precision continues to be one of the most trusted and affordable medical centers in Cebu.
1. WIDE ARRAY OF MEDICAL SERVICES WITHIN REACH
From routine laboratory tests, imaging, and multi-specialty doctors’ clinics, Hi Precision offers over thousands of medical tests and procedures. If you want to know what’s available, you can confirm by messaging their Facebook page or contacting them via landline, cellphone, or Viber.

Hi-Precision Cebu has over 22 years of experience in service and prides itself on having accolades with its many firsts in the medical laboratory service. In the year 2005, Hi-Precision was one of the first healthcare companies in Cebu to have ISO 9001 Certification Program, the international gold standard for Quality and Efficiency.
As one of the country’s leading diagnostics laboratories, they are very efficient indeed. With the fast-paced world we have today, our medical services should be on that level as well as this can not only help a person but also save lives in the process.
Once you’re done with the tests in the Hi-Precision branch nearest to you, you’ll have two options, either wait to get your results or get them online. Yes, they are also the first to have online results as an option for patients, having first established their online results server in 2007. Having the initiative to do this only stays true to their “Quality and Efficiency” brand.
3. FREE OF HUMAN ERROR, FULL OF HUMAN CARE
Hi-Precision Cebu may be committed to providing affordable healthcare, but that doesn’t mean it skimps on quality to achieve this. In fact, Hi-Precision always invests in the latest and best quality machines also used in laboratories and hospitals in the United States and Europe. Many of these latest models are fully automated, meaning they can run urine or blood specimens more efficiently than by manual means without the risk of human error. Being at the forefront of medical technology allows Hi-Precision to ensure that all your medical tests and records are in safe hands.
The second is the dedication and care demonstrated by Hi Precision’s nurses, medtechs, and frontliners. Be it rain or shine, storms, or a global pandemic, Hi-Precision Cebu has always remained open in order to serve and save lives.
4. ONLINE RESULTS- HEALTHCARE RIGHT AT YOUR FINGERTIPS
One of the reasons that patients find it so easy to avail the Hi-Precision services is that they have kept up with modern technology and offer online results now. With easy online access to their medical and laboratory results everywhere, patients can be rest assured that they will never have to worry about losing them or forgetting about them in those times that they need it. Access online on patients records can also save time and lives as treating doctors and hospitals can easily have them.
To access your results online, just follow these few simple steps:
For new users, username is your PID in your receipt right under your full name and above your gender and date of birth. e.g “CH1234567”
Default password is your last name in capital letters. e.g. “CRUZ”
Once you’re logged in, you’ll be redirected to Health Online where you can view all your patient details and results
Aside from the convenience that is the online results, they also have each returning patient’s medical record/history accessible in their system which makes it more personal and also reliable that they can track the patient’s history of tests taken.
They even offer discounts if you present any doctor’s recommending receipts for those tests. So head on to any branch of Hi-Precision whenever you need your urgent lab tests done.
