Where Cebu’s story of faith is shared everyday

Get a new appreciation of Cebu culture and faith that are intricately intertwined with this beautiful island’s 500-year recorded history.

The Cebu Quincentennial Hotel stands in the heart of Cebu City’s commercial district as a monument of faith that persevered and strengthened through ﬁve centuries. It is the perfect starting point for your Cebu trip, whether to attend an event or enjoy a vacation.

Put up for the 500th anniversary of Christianity in 2021, the hotel serves as a repository of memorabilia from a once-in-a-lifetime celebration that distinctly depicts the Spirit at work in the Catholic Church.

From the ﬁrst baptism in Cebu to the gift of the Sto. Nino image and its subsequent loss and recovery to the spread of Christianity throughout the Philippine islands. Cebu Quincentennial Hotel bears witness to the evangelization of the Philippines, the bastion of Catholic faith in Asia.

The hotel lobby will feature the ﬁrst baptism into the Catholic faith of Rajah Humabon, his wife Juana, and their followers; and other Quincentennial highlights. Guests get to experience the interior of the Spanish ship through lobby furnishings that simulate into a galleon feel and ambience.

Imagine being able to revisit the Quincentennial Year celebrations even beyond 2021 through the photos, paintings, dioramas, and other religious artifacts on display in the rooms, hallways and open spaces of Cebu’s ﬁrst ever hotel with a faith theme. Some hotel spaces will showcase tableaus of key religious events that will underscore Cebu’s reputation as a top faith tourist destination

The hotel is located right next to Landers Superstore at the east entrance of Cebu Business Park.

Opening on June 20, 2022, you may inquire at: Cebu Quincentennial Hotel or at 032-520-4488.

Cebu Quincentennial Hotel is a member of Duros Group of Companies

Primary Homes Tops Off Tower B In Mactan Project

Premier developer Primary Homes Inc. topped off the second tower of its P 2 billion resort condominium Royal OceanCrest Mactan. The topping-off was marked through the ceremonial signing and lifting of the final beam at the project site in Sudtunggan, Barangay Basak in Lapu-lapu City.

The ceremony, held on September 29, 2021, was led by Primary Group of Builders Chairman Engr. William Christopher Liu Jr., PrimaryHomes President Archt. Stephen Charles Liu PrimaryHomes Vice President for Sales and Marketing, Mr. Ramero Espina, together with the heads of PrimaryHomes Project Management Team. They were joined by PrimaryHomes Functional Heads and Primary Structures Corporation representatives.

PrimaryHomes is part of Primary Group of Builders (PGB), a powerhouse conglomerate with an umbrella of trusted companies having 70 years worth of portfolio in the field of construction and property developments.

PrimaryHomes is developing Royal Oceancrest Mactan together with other PGB companies — Triple A category general contractor Primary Structures Corporation, ISO-certified concrete solutions provider Concrete Solutions Inc., and construction innovator ABC LightStrong Building Systems. Each of these Primary Group companies upholds passion and thrust for excellence. The expertise of these companies combined with PrimaryHomes’ solid reputation as the most trusted real estate brand are testament to the quality of Royal Oceancrest Mactan.

With PGB’s diverse solutions integrated to build lasting structures that are delivered on time, PrimaryHomes investors will truly be assured of their investments.
“When the pandemic happened, it was hard on businesses and affected construction activities, but we never slowed down. We are still on target to deliver as scheduled. Our partnership with the other PGB companies and the fully-integrated system that we’ve established with them throughout the years played a very significant role in this,” said PrimaryHomes vice president for sales and marketing Ramero Espina.

Royal Oceancrest Mactan is ideally located in highly urbanized Lapu-lapu City. It’s within short distance to a mall, hospital, beach resorts, export zones, industrial parks, big ticket developments, the Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway, and the Mactan Cebu International Airport.

Espina said the development is targeted to clients who want to own or invest in a property in Mactan, one of the most beautiful and frequently visited islands in the Philippines.
The community is designed by PrimaryHomes as a safe and secure haven of wellness and leisure with 60% of the total development dedicated to free and open space, giving residents the opportunity to relax and reconnect, roam and immerse in the beauty of the gardens, a bamboo tunnel, yoga pocket spaces, and other nature features. It also features lifestyle amenities such as compartmentalized pools, gym, clubhouse, grilling stations, and commercial areas.

Espina said construction of Royal Oceancrest Mactan is on full swing and they hope to deliver the units to its owners in early 2022.
Royal Oceancrest Mactan is made up of four mid-rise buildings with a total of 952 residential and commercial units. It offers 2-bedroom and 1-bedroom units with balcony option. The Tower B will feature finished units.
To see the actual and show units, visit the Royal Oceancrest Mactan on-site showroom which is open daily from 9 a.m to 5 p.m.

TRI-LEVEL INTERCHANGE IN MANDAUE CITY APPROVED BY CONGRESS

🚦A tri-level interchange composed of a flyover, an underpass and another ‘at grade’ carriageway will be constructed at the intersection of Cebu North Road in front of Pacific Mall in Mandaue City.
🚦The P1.5B infrastructure has been approved by the House of Representatives by passing House Bill 9886 on third and final reading.
🚦The three-level road aims to decongest the perennial traffic in that junction of Cebu North Road for people going north and for those from the north turning left to United Nations Avenue for the airport and Mactan.
🚦The project will be funded by the national government and will be implemented by DPWH.
🚦HB 9886 will now be sent to the Senate for approval.

CITY OF LILOAN SOON!

In 2019, House Bill 5031 was filed in the lower house for the conversion of the municipality of Liloan to a component city.

And it is finally qualified to become one, with the release of the 2020 Census showing it has a population of 153,197.

For municipalities to qualify for cityhood, Republic Act 9009 requires it to have:
A. An annual local income of at least P100 million in the past two years as certified by the Department of Finance.
B. A territory of 100 square kilometers (10,000 hectares) OR a population of at least 150,000.

Liloan Golf and Leisure Estate, Barangay San Roque

In the case of Liloan, the income requirement has long been met but since its land area is less than 100 square kilometers, the only way it can qualfy is to have a population of 150,000, and that has just been validated by the 2020 Census.

It is still a long process in Congress, but no doubt about it, Cebu will have City of Liloan soon.
