Wake Up Above the World at Kang Lucas

Photo from archive

High above the town of Sibonga, Kang Lucas Peak waits for anyone ready to climb and see the world from a different view. Sitting on Mt. Binabag in Upper Sayao, this peak gives you fresh air, wide open skies, and a feeling that you’re far away from all the noise.

The Climb Up

The path to Kang Lucas Peak is a bit steep and rocky, so be ready for a short challenge. But with each step, the view gets better. When you reach the top, you can see the coastline, nearby mountains, and on some mornings, a sea of clouds below your feet.

Stay for the Stars

You can visit for the day or camp overnight. Entrance is ₱20, and camping is ₱150 per tent as of writing. At night, the mountain is quiet, the air is cool, and the sky is full of stars, the kind you don’t see in the city. 

How To Get There?

Location: Mt. Binabag, Upper Sayao, Sibonga, Cebu, Philippines

By Car: Navigate Kang Lucas Peak via Waze or GoogleMap

By Commute: From Cebu South Bus Terminal, ride a bus bound to Sibonga and ask the driver to drop you off at Sayao. Ride a habal-habal (Motorbike Taxi) to the jump off point of Mt. Binabag.

The mountain is beautiful because people take care of it. Bring your trash back down and leave the place as clean as you found it. Kang Lucas Peak is a simple place where you can slow down, breathe fresh air, and enjoy the view.

Cebu City’s Pawsome Policy

There’s a quiet revolution happening in the queen city of the south, and it has four paws, a wagging tail, and a whole lot of charm. Cebu City is proudly the only city in the Philippines actively implementing the CNVR program, that’s Catch, Neuter, Vaccinate, and Return, for stray dogs.

This forward-thinking initiative is changing the way people and “aspins” live together, creating a model where compassion and coexistence thrive side by side.

Aspin Ambassadors in the City

Take a stroll through Cebu Business Park or IT Park, and you’ll meet some of the city’s most beloved residents. These aspins roam freely, not as nuisances, but as part of the community fabric. Office workers know them by face, some even by name. Locals leave out food and water bowls. And visitors? They can’t help but snap a photo or two.

Healthy, Happy, and Home

Through the CNVR program, these dogs are sterilized to control population growth, vaccinated to prevent disease, and monitored to ensure they stay healthy. No more dangerous, outdated “catch and kill” methods, just a sustainable, humane approach that keeps tails wagging and streets safer.

The results speak for themselves, a healthier, more stable stray population, minimal public health risks, and a city that shows the rest of the country how it’s done.

A Blueprint for the Future

Cebu City’s approach is more than just animal control, it’s a celebration of the bond between humans and dogs. By treating aspins as part of the community rather than a problem to be solved, the city is proving that kindness works.

Maybe it’s time other Philippine cities take a page from Cebu’s playbook, because here, compassion and community truly go hand in paw.

Kakognan Peak is your 15-minute Escape

Photo from archive

If you think the best views in Cebu require hours of hiking, Kakognan Peak is here to prove you wrong. Just a quick 10–15-minute ride from Barili’s town proper, this highland beauty is in Brgy. Lupo offers panoramas, fresh mountain air, and that rare kind of peace you don’t have to fight for.

Nature’s Balcony

From its vantage point, Kakognan Peak opens up to views of rolling hills, scattered farmlands, and the endless stretch of blue sky. There’s no concrete path or commercial setup here, just raw, unpolished beauty that makes you feel like the world slowed down just for you.

Free, Fresh, and Full of Life

No entrance fees. No vendors. No noise, except the wind and maybe a bird or two. The climb is easy, perfect for families, casual adventurers, or anyone needing a quick breather from town life.

Travel Tip

Pack some snacks, bring a mat, and go early or late in the afternoon to avoid the midday heat. And of course, follow the golden rule of the outdoors: take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints.

How To Get There?

By Car: From Cebu City, drive south via the Cebu South Road passing through Carcar City, then continue toward Barili town proper; from there, head to Brgy. Lupo and follow local roads for about 10–15 minutes until you reach Kakognan Peak.

By Commute: From Cebu City, take a bus or van bound for Barili at the South Bus Terminal, alight at Barili town proper, then hire a habal-habal (motorbike) to Brgy. Lupo, where Kakognan Peak is just a short 10–15 minute ride away.

CLI BOOSTS GROWTH WITH BACK-TO-BACK TRAILBLAZING IN CEBU AND PALAWAN

0

From the capital of Northern Cebu to the nature-rich heart of Puerto Princesa, Cebu Landmasters, Inc. (CLI) has marked another milestone in its dynamic expansion across the Visayas and Mindanao. The leading developer has broken ground for two major residential projects within days of each other, Tower 5 of Casa Mira Towers Palawan and North Grove at Pristina Town in Cebu City.

These simultaneous launches are more than construction starts. They are statements of intent. They signal CLI’s strengthened foothold in both established and emerging markets, its readiness to meet real housing demand, and its commitment to creating developments with long-term value for end-users and investors alike.

“Our projects in Puerto Princesa and Cebu reflect CLI’s commitment to delivering thoughtfully-designed and high quality homes for individuals and families who need a place to call their own,” said Jose Soberano III, CLI Chairman & CEO. “Beyond that, we aim to offer compelling opportunities for investors.”

Casa Mira Towers Palawan: A First in Palawan for Vertical Living

CLI’s three billion and eight-hundred thousand pesos Casa Mira Towers Palawan is the company’s first-ever venture in Puerto Princesa, Palawan, and a bold introduction to modern vertical living for the city.

Spanning 2.09 hectares in Barangay San Pedro, the development is strategically located just minutes from the airport and city center. But it doesn’t trade nature for convenience. Instead, 60% of the site is dedicated to open space, lush greenery, and resort-style amenities, creating a nature-integrated community that fits seamlessly into Palawan’s environment.

The groundbreaking of Tower 5 came with a significant reveal: the final two towers of the seven-tower development are now underway, adding 567 more units. Studio and one-bedroom layouts range from 20 to 32 sqm, with select units featuring balconies offering panoramic views of the province’s scenic landscape.

Amenities elevate the project beyond its price point: a clubhouse, pools, gym, roof gardens, sky lounge, play area, retail zone, chapel, and even an EV charging station, a rare feature in its segment.

The expansion into two additional towers is a direct response to strong market demand from both end-users and investors. With its balance of accessibility, modern features, and nature-rich surroundings, Casa Mira Towers Palawan is positioned as not only a place to live, but also a smart investment in one of the country’s fastest-growing cities and tourism hubs.

North Grove at Pristina Town: Elevated Garden-Inspired Living in Northern Cebu

Back in Cebu, CLI broke ground on North Grove at Pristina Town, the first residential phase of its newest, sustainably planned township in Bacayan. This five billion and four-hundred thousand pesos upper mid-market project is being developed through Cebu Homegrown Developers, Inc., CLI’s joint venture with Ixidor Holdings.

The 7.2-hectare Pristina Town is envisioned as a landmark address in Northern Cebu. North Grove is its first step, and it’s a bold one.

The development will feature two distinct towers:

• Lumina Tower — 386 garden-inspired studio and one-bedroom units (24–35 sqm) with full-height windows that flood interiors with natural light. Amenities include expansive green spaces, a zen garden, sky lounge, game room, fitness gym, lounge, and multipurpose deck.

• Terra Tower — Studio units (23–25 sqm) designed with forest tones and surrounded by pocket gardens and wellness-focused spaces, complemented by a multipurpose deck and fitness facilities.

North Grove’s defining feature is its central podium, an 1,800 sqm supermarket plus nearly 2,000 sqm of leasable retail and dining space, bringing everyday convenience and lifestyle experiences within steps of home.

Scaling VisMin Presence with Inclusive and Sustainable Growth

For CLI, these two groundbreakings are part of a much bigger picture.

“These developments are part of our initiative to address the significant housing backlog in the Philippines by building accessible, value-driven communities that meet real demand and foster inclusive, sustainable growth,” Soberano said.

The Casa Mira brand now spans 18 projects across the Visayas and Mindanao, delivering nearly 20,000 vertical and horizontal housing units. With North Grove, CLI extends its reach into the upper mid-market while maintaining its core commitment to inclusivity and local insight.

The five billion and four-hundred thousand pesos North Grove is the first residential project in CLI’s newest township, Pristina Town. The development is an upper mid-market community featuring green spaces, sustainable features, lifestyle amenities, and a central podium with retail and dining options located in one of Cebu’s most notable addresses.

Enjee Jardeleza, President of Jits Construction Corp.

With shovels in the ground in both Palawan and Cebu, CLI is not just building structures, it is building momentum. These back-to-back milestones show a company that understands where the market is headed and is ready to meet it head-on, whether in an emerging tourism hub or a thriving urban corridor. From its Casa Mira economic housing brand to upper mid-market communities like North Grove, CLI is proving that sustainable growth, strategic foresight, and local insight can transform landscapes and lives across the Visayas and Mindanao. As both developments rise, so does CLI’s promise: to deliver homes and communities that stand the test of time, anchored in quality, accessibility, and a vision for a better future.

Alcoy’s Morning Spectacle

In the mountain barangay of Nug-As, Alcoy, a breathtaking sight awaits those who rise before dawn. Known as the Sea of Clouds, this natural phenomenon can be seen from Mt. Campetra, a vantage point within the Nug-As Forest Reserve, one of the last remaining rainforests on Cebu.

The Road to the Highlands

Reaching Mt. Campetra requires an early start, as the Sea of Clouds is best viewed between 5:00 and 6:00 in the morning. Visitors travel through winding mountain roads, passing cool, misty landscapes before arriving at the peak. The air grows colder with the climb, setting the tone for the spectacle that unfurls at first light.

Nature’s Morning Display

Photo from archive

As the sun begins to rise, thick layers of cloud and fog settle over the valley, creating the illusion of an ocean with treetops peeking through like islands. The view transitions as the light changes, with golden rays illuminating the rolling mist. Cameras often capture the scene, but the true scale of the spectacle is best experienced in person.

A Sanctuary in the South

Photo from archive

Beyond its visual appeal, Nug-As Forest Reserve is an ecological treasure. It is home to rare and endemic wildlife, including the earless Cebu Hawk Owl and the Siloy, or Black Shama. These species, along with the reserve’s dense canopy, emphasize the importance of protecting this ecosystem.

A High-Altitude Escape

Even after the clouds disperse, pockets of fog often linger in the area, and temperatures remain cool throughout the morning. The setting has earned Nug-As the nickname “Little Baguio of Alcoy,” offering a refreshing change from Cebu’s coastal climate.

How To Get There?

Location:Barangay Nug-as, Alcoy, Cebu, Philippines

By Car: Navigate Nug-as Forest Reserve via Waze or GoogleMap.

By Commute: From Cebu City, ride a bus or van heading to Alcoy, then upon arrival, take a habal-habal (motorbike taxi) up to the forest’s trailhead, your jump-off point is near the reserve and just a short climb away.

For travelers searching for a peaceful and awe-inspiring natural experience, the Sea of Clouds at Nug-As stands as one of southern Cebu’s most captivating sights, a fleeting morning wonder framed by the island’s last great forest.

Capitol Bidding Now on Livestream

Photo from Cebu Province

The days of closed-door procurement meetings at the Cebu Provincial Capitol are numbered. In a landmark move for government transparency, all competitive bidding activities will soon be streamed live online for the public to see, no press pass required.

Photo from Cebu Province

Governor Pamela Baricuatro sealed the deal on July 28, 2025, signing Executive Order (EO) 37. This order mandates the real-time livestreaming of procurement activities handled by the Capitol’s Bids and Awards Committees (BAC). The policy, approved by the Provincial Board on August 4, covers pre-procurement meetings, pre-bid conferences, and bid openings.

A Law in Action

Photo from Unsplash

The livestreaming initiative isn’t just a Capitol innovation, it’s backed by the Republic Act 12009, the New Government Procurement Act. While BAC meetings have been recorded before, the EO introduces a new level of immediacy, citizens can now follow proceedings in real time without setting foot inside the BAC office. 

Under the new rules, all procurement processes, no matter the contract amount, will be streamlined. However, only certain big-ticket projects will require video archives to be stored for at least five years:

• ₱10 million and above for goods

• ₱20 million and above for infrastructure

• ₱5 million and above for consulting services

For projects worth ₱50 million or more, the post-award details, including project name, contract amount, winning bidder, and implementation period, must also be published in newspapers of general circulation.

Guardrails for Openness

Photo from Cebu Province

The Public Information Office (PIO) is tasked with making this policy work, from managing livestreams to ensuring compliance. Sensitive data, such as trade secrets or personal information, will be redacted unless parties choose to make it public.

Procurement documents, by default, are considered open to public scrutiny unless explicitly classified as confidential under law or jurisprudence. The EO also requires the Government Procurement Policy Board’s consolidated blacklisting report to be published regularly, a move aimed at deterring bad actors in the procurement arena.

Non-compliance comes with consequences, public officials or employees who fail to follow the order could face administrative sanctions.

Why It Matters

Photo from Cebu Province

The livestreaming policy, Durano says, is designed to discourage overpricing, collusion, and manipulation in the procurement process, while rebuilding public trust in government transactions.

With funding for livestreaming equipment, IT upgrades, and training sourced from the annual provincial budget, the Capitol is betting that technology, and a healthy dose of public oversight, will make the procurement process cleaner, faster, and more accountable.

Cebu is putting its bidding process on full display. The question now is, how effective is this in fighting corruption?

Sugilanon sa Kandungaw

Photo from archive

Kandungaw Peak stands quietly, an underrated hike that rewards hikers with some of the most dramatic panoramic views in southern Cebu. This towering cliffside gem is one of the province’s highest accessible peaks, rising nearly 900 meters above sea level.

With its rock formations, rolling fog, and cliffs that drop straight into the valleys below, Kandungaw Peak feels like a scene pulled out of a fantasy film, but it’s real, and it’s just a few hours from Cebu City.

Photo from archive

A Short But Steep Hike to the Top

Photo from archive

The hike to the summit is brief, only around 30 minutes, but don’t let the short duration fool you. The trail starts with a grueling stair climb that sends most hikers into silence. It’s steep, it’s intense, and it’s a proper workout. Fortunately, the concrete path is well-maintained, with stone steps laid out for easier footing.

Photo from archive

How To Get There?

Location: Maloray, Dalaguete, Cebu

By Car: Navigate Kadungaw Peak via Waze or GoogleMap.

By Commute: From Cebu City, ride a bus to Dalaguete at the Cebu South Buss Terminal, get off at. Mantalongon junction, then take a habal-habal to Maloray for the Kandungaw Peak jump-off.

Photo from archive

While Kandungaw Peak doesn’t yet match the fame of Osmeña Peak or the crowds of Cebu’s top waterfalls, that’s exactly its appeal. It offers solitude without sacrifice, scenery without filters, and a reminder that adventure still exists in the quieter corners of the island.

If you’re looking to escape the noise, stretch your legs, and experience Cebu from a different perspective, Kandungaw Peak is worth the climb.
