Cebu City travel

Last September 8 to 11, I went on a trip to Cebu City for the 3rd National ICTs in Education Congress hosted by the Foundation for Information Technology Education and Development Incorporated (FIT-ED) with the Department of Education (DepEd) Philippines.

It is the first time I truly saw Cebu. The last time I was there for a management committee meeting, I only got glimpses of the place.

Mactan-Cebu International Airport is, I believe, the smallest International Airport I have seen.

We stayed in a dormitory at the DepEd Eco-Tech Center in Lahug Cebu City.

It was a pretty nice place almost similar to the cottages of the Baguio Teachers' Camp - commented one of the reporters who were with us.

The rooms were quite cozy and are affordable at about P270.00 per night sans meals.

Why eat indoors when you can try some of the fine food outside? Just a few meters from the gate, there are makeshift stalls that serve regular and exotic meals.

Romy, the driver assigned to assist us told of servings of eels and grasshoppers in the stalls.

Unfortunately, we only learned about this during our drive to the airport for our return trip.
