Here’s a set of fresh photo updates from all over the Metro. Cebu is currently experiencing what a lot of people would refer to as the ‘Second Ceboom.’ Ceboom is a term which describes a period of boombastic progress, development, and success in Cebu. If you want to know whether or not these people are telling the truth, check out the photos below.

The Banilad Bridge was identified as a major chokepoint. Hence, these additional one-lane bridges (there’s one on the opposite side) to help decongest traffic.
One Pavillion Place now stands in the lot once occupied by the Chiongbian cockpit hall in Eskina Banawa in Guadalupe.
