Cebu Province Trip

i finally got the chance to go south as far as Carmen.The trip was a wake up.Cebu,being considered as Manila's better alternative is seemingly incomprehensible.Why? Cebu is really a province after Cebu City and Mandaue City. Places like Lanao del Norte,Misamis Occidental,Zamboanga Area,Bukidnon which can be considered as remote area have better roads and are more vibrant wayside.
To think that Cebu as a seat of political scions only shows that progress is relative to the mindset of these powerhungry politicians.No wonder Cebuanos are friendliest compared to people in Manila because they still have the province culture and its what make Cebu unique.
