We all crave for a perfect staycation that doesn’t just refreshes the body but also one that rejuvenates the mind and soul.
Bunzie’s Cove in Brgy. Muabog, Tabogon is your dream staycation spot. Considered as the Caribbean of Cebu, the place boasts a distraction-free vacation home complete with natural and nature-inspired embellishment. It also has different types of accommodation that suits perfectly for your family’s overnight stays.
If there’s one thing that this pandemic and the community quarantine had taught us, it’s about appreciating the company of ourselves and our families. Being stuck in the house for so long had made our families closer than ever. Why not celebrate that here? The soothing and calming ambience of the place makes you want to live here forever.
The Accommodation
Its accommodation spaces are satisfying and pleasing. It gives you a rustic theme to complement its Caribbean feels. The place is also furnished with artworks made by local and international artists. With no television nor internet and weak phone signal, you will surely get the chance to take a break from the digital world and just reconnect and commune with nature.
Also, accommodation types are slightly distant from one another, hence, if you’re seeking for a stay with high regards to privacy, you’ll have it here. It’s also complete with a kitchenette except for the payag and the guestroom.
You can cook your own food too or you can ask the people manning the resort to cook them for you for an additional fee.
The Beauty of Nature
And while its private villas are already teeming with beauty and creativity, the natural landscape of the place is also breathtaking. It spoils its guests with panoramic views of the Tabogon Bay and Camotes Sea and a beautiful evening greeted with a great sunset view.

The Queen City is undergoing a major makeover with various million-peso projects under the Public-Private Partnership between the Cebu City Government and Saavedra-led company, Megawide. These projects aim to highlight the natural gifts and rich heritage that Cebu City possesses.
One of these projects is the construction of a Modernized Carbon Market that consists of improving multiple key areas near the Carbon vicinity that are envisioned to significantly impact the trade and tourism of the city. The new market will serve as Cebu’s Heritage District and will be composed of a restored Compania Maritama, an improved Freedom Park, and a modernized Carbon Market.
A BETTER MARKET FOR VENDORS
One of the modernization project’s objectives is to be able to help Carbon market vendors by constructing a new market building that will centralize trade of goods in a single space. The population of the Carbon Market consists of about 1,300 stall owners and at least 5,000 ambulant vendors who all depend on their goods for income.
“They (Megawide) are considering the number of these vendors day and night. In fact, they solicited data from us because they want to accommodate all the vendors. Wala’y ma-left out,” mentioned Matuguina, the city market administrator.
The plans for the project include the construction of a new market building for the ambulant vendors from both the day and night market that will become the center of trade in the new heritage district. Aside from that, there will also be parking areas and a “bagsakan” where all the goods will be delivered.
Although there were concerns about additional fees, Matuguina says that the fees they collect from the vendors will not change. The trade center would also help the farmers sell their produce at cheaper prices because the new arrangement wouldn’t involve any middlemen.
CENTER FOR TRAVEL
The new heritage district also includes the construction of new transport and ferry terminals. There will be more convenient land transportation options as the terminal will contain buses that travel to both the Northern and the Southern parts of Cebu. Moreover, travel time to and from the Mactan Cebu International Airport (MCIA) will dramatically improve with a new ferry that will cut straight thru the Mactan Channel to the airport and back.
OTHER PLANS
The new district will also highlight the historical value of the Compania Maritima – an empty neoclassical shell facing the Mactan Channel – and the Freedom Park. There are many plans that have been mentioned and one of these plans is converting the empty building into a walk-in aviary or a museum with cafes.
Lastly, there will also be a new Sto. Niño statue standing at the center of a park which will symbolize the religious belief and festive spirit of the Cebuanos.
PROJECT UPDATES
January 11, 2021: The Cebu City Government finally signed a Joint Venture Agreement today with infrastructure conglomerate Megawide Construction Corp. for the phased redevelopment of the Carbon Public Market. The groundbreaking is planned to take place by late March this year.
Megawide plans to invest 5.5 billion pesos to undertake the first phase of the project.

Cebuanos have seen the rise of numerous towering skyscrapers for the past decade or two. No wonder why Cebu is an eye candy for everyone seeking job opportunities, business expansions, residential spaces, or quality places to stay at.
But despite the growing number of condominiums, hotels, and office spaces in Cebu City, there are those that stand out from the group. They are not just the ordinary tall structures but also, towers with distinct, eye-catching, and exceptional aesthetics.
Here are the five (5) beautiful high-rise buildings you can find in the city.

Calyx Centre is the first ever green, hybrid condominium in Cebu. It’s a 26-storey organically designed, green building with retail, office and residential components. The first 9 floors accommodate office spaces while the residential units start from the 11th floor. The 10th floor serves as the transition level with the following amenities:

Two Separate Gardens
Spacious Lounge Area
Wi-Fi Station
Two Halls for Events and Parties
Laundromat with Washers and Dryers
Fitness Gym & Sauna
The building spans a 2953 sq.m premium lot beside Asiatown’s “The Walk”.

Calyx Centre stands high and proud in one of Cebu’s busiest district – Cebu IT Park. It is the home to a diverse mix of international and local software research and development companies, BPOs, and contact centers complemented with 24/7 dining, shopping, and leisure facilities. This makes Calyx Centre a good choice for someone who wants a balanced strike of comfort and high-spirited urban lifestyle, not to mention that other key city destinations are very accessible from IT Park.
Other facilities and amenities
100% power back-up for the whole building is assured through 3 generators with 1 MVA capacity each.
