Cebu is famous for its (sweet) mangoes. From the world-favorite dried mangoes to the street favorite green mangoes and all-time favorite mango float for dessert, people just can’t get enough of the mango goodness. That’s why the mango craze in Cebu never stops.
Thirsty, a popular Cebu homegrown beverage go-to outlet in Cebu, heard the clamor of the Cebuanos — an on-the-go mango float that is consistently sweet and delicious, easy to find and buy, and of course affordable. Thirsty’s Mango Float is the answer.
Thirsty’s Mango Float, served in a familiar delectable taste of Cebu’s mango float with a special ice cream in it, is now available for only 69 PESOS at Ayala Center Cebu, Robinsons Galleria Cebu, and Robinsons Fuente. It will soon be available in SM City Cebu, J Centre Mall, Parkmall, and other major outlets in Cebu.
Feeling confidently beautiful? Women, men — regardless of the gender, everyone deserves to feel confident about themselves, about their skin. I’m not going to preach about how important skin care is, not only for your physical appearance but also for your health in general, but if you are in about taking your skin care to the next level, this should be a wonderful news for you.
Located in Mabolo, Cebu City (near Mabolo Church), SKINFIDENCE Whitening and Slimming Center opened its doors to help you beautify your skin that could boost your confidence inside and out, without hurting your pocket.
Aside from the pampering services like foot massage, manicure and pedicure, Skinfidence offers different kinds of safe gluta drips such as:
Japanese Snow White Drip (BEST-SELLER)
Korean Snow White
Cindella Drip
Stem Cill Drip with Collagen
Korean Power Intense Whitening
I have personally tried their gluta dripping services because I got curious about their best-selling Japanese Snow White Drip. The nurse and staff were very accommodating, the ambiance was relaxing. But what I really like about this clinic is, they actually show you everything they put in the drip.
Exact location: 1459 L.Tudtud St., Mabolo, Cebu City — only 2-3 minutes away from Mabolo Church / Mabolo Royal Hotel. Recommended to use Waze or Google Maps on the way.
BY CAR/GRAB/TAXI: Just navigate with Waze or Google Maps and search for “Skinfidence” in Gil Tudtud, Cebu City. Parking space is available.
BY JEEPNEY: Ride any jeepney passing through Mabolo Royal Hotel / Mabolo Church. From there, walk a little further for about 3-5 minutes and use Google Maps and search for “Skinfidence” in Gil Tudtud. Or 03L from Mabolo, 04L from Lahug.
Christmas, apart from being the most wonderful time of the year, is the longest and grandest holiday celebrated in the Philippines. As early as September, or as what we call the ‘ber’ months,the yuletide season unofficially kicks off. Regardless of what TV network or radio station, they start to play Christmas medleys and conduct their own Christmas countdown. But, I know we all agree that the most enticing way to send Christmas feels to the people is through our Christmas decorations and lights hanging around us.
What could be a better way to welcome the Christmas spirit apart from being with the whole family? Allow us to take to you Christmas destinations in the metro which you shouldn’t miss for the yuletide season this year!

The talk-about maze garden in Cebu — LABYRINTH, is a 25-meter in diameter puzzled pathway with an intricate design that makes you wonder which path to take.
Unlike the international maze garden, it has a smaller height which allows you to see the whole maze garden. The end of the maze is the statue of the Virgin Mary with Baby Jesus in her arms. The duration of the maze from its entrance up to the center will make you finish a rosary (the main purpose of this maze). This convoluted maze garden has earned over a hundred or thousand of attention from the locals and foreigners alike. Perhaps it’s because the place is certainly Insta-worthy.
