The Sinulog Festival in Cebu reflects a culture evolving into a capital—where promise is shaped by purpose and growth is carried across generations. For over three decades, Camella has mirrored this spirit of faith and forward living in the Queen City, building family-centered communities across tourist destinations, emerging growth centers, and infralink corridors. 

From young dreamers to wise storytellers, Camella is built for families of all ages—where traditions are passed on, and futures are shaped, together.

Stabilizing value in sustaining economies

Travel destinations such as Bogo and Carcar are defined by community commerce and the flow of people and services. These dynamics fuel local activity and heighten the requirement for residential environments that offer consistency. Camella communities respond by prioritizing safety through gated perimeters and round-the-clock security, creating a clear distinction between the vitality of tourism and the vision of modern living.

In Camella Bogo, coastal charm and growing commerce come together—creating a secure, family-centered community in one of Cebu’s rising tourist destinations.

Proximity to town centers, transport links, and tourist destinations enables residents to participate in domestic enterprise without compromising convenience. In these markets, value extends to continuity—homes designed for Filipinos that support multiple generations in cities where culture and commerce converge. 

Managing metropolitan momentum

Camella communities such as Montserrat, Pasadena, Riverfront, and Talamban have emerged alongside centers of education, business, retail, and lifestyle. These absorb population inflows and employment demand, positioning them as structured pillars in Cebu's strategic evolution.

Riverdale places your home at the heart of Cebu’s expanding road networks—linking work, life, and leisure with ease. Here, accessibility drives everyday comfort and long-term value.

In these built environments, dream communities serve as a distinct differentiator. Purposeful planning, shared amenities, and landscaped spaces introduce balance to the acceleration of urban activity, supporting productivity while preserving personal well-being. These growth centers represent prudent property positioning as business districts and service hubs support steady capital appreciation. 

Leveraging infrastructure for lasting value

With infralink developments such as Azienda in Talisay, Camella aligns communities with road networks and regional connectors, enabling enhanced mobility that integrates suburban settings with patterns of living, working, and investing. From a business lens, early positioning allows investors to benefit from compounding value as these projects progress.

Azienda rises with Cebu’s momentum, offering thoughtfully planned homes near emerging business and lifestyle hubs. It is where urban energy meets balanced, future-ready living.

A place-led philosophy that lasts

The endurance of Sinulog lies in its ability to remain meaningful while moving forward, and the presence of Camella in Cebu echoes the same principle. Across tourist destinations, growth centers, and infralink corridors, it has demonstrated a place-based approach to residential development, understanding how culture, location, and infrastructure intersect with community living to create a legacy of value. Camella communities are purposefully positioned addresses that move with progress, today and for generations ahead.

Designed for rest, play, and connection, Camella’s amenities, like the clubhouse and pool, bring families together—creating spaces where memories are made, and community thrives.

A home for generations

Camella is the flagship brand of Vista Land, providing 1,250 beautifully designed communities in 49 provinces and 147 key cities and municipalities. Camella builds thriving communities that embody innovation and progress, with family and community life at their center, creating a legacy of value for generations to come.

When January rolls in, Cebu stirs to life—streets pulsing with rhythm, colors dancing in every corner, and the unmistakable energy of Sinulog filling the air. Amid the swirl of parades, last-minute preparations, and daily life moving along, food quietly weaves everyone together. Through foodpanda, locals find their way back to familiar, comforting flavors, sharing moments of connection as the festival excitement builds.

Cebu’s Tasty Lechon's spicy bellychon is known for its crispy skin and bold, flavorful bite.

To help diners in Cebu enjoy the season with ease, foodpanda is offering Sinulog-exclusive deals from January 15 to 21, with free delivery and 50% off for new users via NEWPANDA, and 30% off for Pro users using SINULOGPRO.

Celebrating Cebuano Icons and Everyday Favorites

No Sinulog story is ever told without lechon at its heart—Cebu’s most cherished culinary icon. At Cebu’s Tasty Lechon, the crackle of crispy skin and the richness of perfectly seasoned meat have long drawn eager crowds, a delicious testament to Cebuano pride and tradition. Whether it’s the classic roast or the much-loved spicy version, the restaurant reminds everyone that lechon isn’t just reserved for grand celebrations—it’s meant to be savored in everyday moments, too.

Cebu’s Tasty Lechon also offers value meals paired with puso, Cebu’s iconic hanging rice made from steamed rice wrapped in woven coconut leaves, making it compact, flavorful, and easy to enjoy on the go.

A crowd favorite at Cebu’s Tasty Lechon, the spicy bellychon is known for its crispy skin and bold, flavorful bite.

Many Cebuanos turn to familiar comfort food, with Sunburst Fried Chicken remaining a longtime favorite. Known for its crispy, well-seasoned chicken and hearty rice meals, Sunburst has become a reliable choice during busy days and family gatherings. 

Beyond these Cebuano staples, many locals also turn to bold flavors from other local favorites. Shawarma cravings often lead to Jafar’s, which serves Middle Eastern–inspired wraps, rice bowls, burritos, and fresh salads.

Since opening in 2019, the brand has grown from a humble kiosk into a familiar name among food lovers, with high-demand periods like Sinulog requiring businesses to adapt quickly to changing customer needs.

Jafar’s serves a variety of wraps and refreshing drinks, making it a go-to for hearty meals in Cebu..jpg

“During Sinulog, the volume of orders and foot traffic can get overwhelming for our physical stores,” shared Julie Pagobo, Marketing Specialist of Jafar’s. “Having foodpanda allows us to extend our reach and manage orders more efficiently, helping us serve more customers during the busiest days.”

For Cebuanos seeking comfort with a hint of nostalgia, Orange Brutus has long felt like home. From the sizzle of its beloved burger steak to its no-frills fast-food classics, the brand carries stories that began in the 1980s, when its first branch opened along bustling Colon Street. Decades on, it remains a trusted stop for hearty, affordable meals—especially during festival season, when familiar flavors offer a welcome pause amid the celebration.

For classic and shareable Filipino dishes that bring people together, Hukad has long been associated with Filipino celebrations. Its comforting flavors make it a fitting choice for Sinulog meals and family gatherings.

If you want Chinese food for Sinulog, Dimsum Break serves a variety of rice meals, noodles, and dimsum favorites that make preparing a satisfying handa for gatherings and celebrations easy.

A spread of handcrafted breads, baked goods, and specialty drinks from Abaca Baking Company

Beyond the savory feasts, Cebu’s food story gently unfolds in its cafés, where moments slow down and conversations linger. At Abaca Baking Company, proudly owned and run by The Abaca Group, the aroma of artisanal breads and freshly baked pastries fills the space, joined by all-day brunch favorites and carefully crafted specialty coffee. One standout is the Campfire Latte—a comforting blend of espresso, chocolate syrup, milk, and marshmallows—inviting guests to pause, sip, and savor a little warmth amid the city’s vibrant pace.

After coffee and brunch, the experience continues with Good Habits, a café built around the idea that enjoying coffee is always a good habit. Founded in 2022, Good Habits has since grown to six branches, becoming a familiar stop for Cebu’s coffee lovers.

Located at ABC Hotel in Ramos, Good Habits is a familiar hangout for students.

“foodpanda is a platform we can rely on—it’s always available, and it helps us be more accessible,” shared Rick Dylan Ostrea, one of the owners of Good Habits. “Our customers can simply open the app and order without having to go to the store. It’s just one click away.”

Rounding out Cebu’s everyday favorites is Alberto’s Pizza, a brand that began as a small pizza store near Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center. Known for its affordability and consistent quality, Alberto’s has become a go-to for budget-friendly comfort food, especially during busy seasons when convenience matters most.

As the city buzzes on, Cebu’s street food story finds its rhythm in Barangay Tisa, famously known as the siomai capital. Here, amid the steam and chatter, Way Tugpahay Siomai has earned its place as a local favorite. From its humble street-side setup, thousands of siomai are quickly wrapped, steamed, and served each day—especially during the late afternoon and early evening rush. Affordable, hot, and endlessly satisfying, it’s the kind of stop Cebuanos make instinctively, fueling themselves with quick bites as festival energy carries them through the day.

To end the meal on a sweet note, Ally Mango offers a refreshing dessert option loved by locals. Known for its mango shakes and popular mango sticky rice, the Cebu-born brand has grown from its early days at Sugbo Mercado into a familiar name for mango-based treats. Made with locally sourced mangoes, Ally Mango’s desserts are a favorite addition to celebrations like Sinulog.

During peak periods, foodpanda’s pick-up option offers a convenient way for customers near the store to order ahead.

Beyond these well-loved stops, Cebu’s food scene comes alive through hundreds of partner vendors offering local flavors across the city. These options are easily accessible through the foodpanda app, making it simple to explore Cebu’s diverse food culture ahead of the festivities.

Bringing Sinulog Celebrations Closer Through Digital Access

As Sinulog pulls thousands into the streets, not everyone celebrates amid the crowds. Some choose quieter moments—gathering at home with family, sharing laughter with friends, or simply taking a pause from the rush. For them, keeping the spirit alive doesn’t always mean cooking from scratch. Local favorites are only a few taps away, ready to be enjoyed wherever the day leads. And for those weaving through busy streets or running quick errands, pick-up options offer a welcome shortcut—good food without the long lines. In these small but meaningful moments, digital access quietly reshapes the celebration, making it easier, more flexible, and open to everyone.

By supporting local restaurants through digital platforms, Cebuano food businesses are able to extend their reach during high-demand periods, serve more customers, and maintain visibility—even amid the intensity of festival season.

As the festivities draw near, foodpanda continues to support local businesses by making everyday favorites easier to enjoy ahead of the busiest days. Celebrate the season with Cebu’s local food favorites—available on foodpanda!

With urban traffic intensifying and housing costs rising, young workers in Metro Cebu are rethinking how and where they live. For many, commuting can take nearly an hour each way, while a large portion of monthly earnings is spent on rent, leaving little room for savings or lifestyle needs. These realities are pushing a new generation of Filipinos to pursue housing options that are not only affordable but also close to where life and work happen.

The City Flats Cebu Co-Living or Dorm Room

This shift is fueling the steady growth of co-living communities across the country. Built around shared spaces, flexible terms, and social interaction, co-living is gaining wider acceptance, particularly among millennials and Gen Zs who prioritize convenience and a curated, connected environment over long-term rental commitments.

A New Address Designed for Today’s Workforce

Ayala Land enters this evolving market with The CityFlats—an urban living concept tailored for mobile professionals who prefer to live near business districts. Instead of treating housing as just a private room, The CityFlats develops modern, all-inclusive residences complemented by communal amenities that encourage interaction and support a balanced lifestyle.

Ayala Land The City Flats in Cebu Business Park

The brand has gained traction in Metro Manila, with locations in Makati, Bonifacio Global City (BGC) and Cebu IT Park. Each offers residents the ability to live within major commercial hubs at lower cost and without lengthy travel times. Now, Ayala Land builds on this momentum by opening its newest branch at Cebu Business Park, expanding its reach in Visayas.

Jay Teodoro, (3rd from right) Ayala Land Deputy Head of Vismin Estates lead The CityFlats Cebu Business Park ribbon cutting.

“Our goal is to make our estates more livable by providing practical, well-located homes for the city’s workforce. Young professionals shouldn’t have to sacrifice time, mobility, or community just to live in the city. CityFlats gives more people the chance to live where life happens, close to work, services, and everyday conveniences,” said Jay Teodoro, Ayala Land Deputy Head of Vismin Estates.

Designed for Value, Accessibility, and Ease

Premium Hostel Room

Situated along Leyte Loop, Cebu Business Park, the latest CityFlats branch houses 392 rooms that are fully furnished and move-in ready. About 80 percent of the development is dedicated to co-living units suited for long-term renters who want their own dedicated personal area. These rooms feature a work station, bed, storage, air-conditioning, kitchenette, and in-room toilet & bath—amenities typically seen only in larger apartment rentals.

The CityFlats CBP Social Hall

The remaining units operate as hostel rooms, ideal for short-term guests such as traveling professionals, tourists, and employees on assignment. These rooms offer queen or twin beds and come equipped with a mini-refrigerator, television, and private kitchenette.

Accessibility also forms part of the development’s design. Each floor includes units intended for PWDs, helping ensure that more people can comfortably access this new housing option. Complementing these living options are upcoming retail services on the ground floor, beginning with a convenience store and laundromat, making everyday needs even easier to access without leaving the building.

Community at the Core

More than convenience, the CityFlats concept emphasizes genuine interaction among residents. The centerpiece of this experience is its Social Hall, a communal venue designed for group gatherings, casual hangouts, and community programs. Planned programs, ranging from wellness sessions to game nights, are intended to cultivate a supportive environment, allowing residents to build friendships and collaboration opportunities, whether professional or personal.

Flexible Terms for Diverse Lifestyles

Flexibility is another hallmark of The CityFlats. Unlike standard rental models that require long-term commitments, The CityFlats offers multiple stay options—from daily hostel rates ideal for travelers or project-based workers to long-term co-living leases suited for employees, young graduates, students, and digital freelancers.

This adaptability makes the development attractive not only to individual renters but also to companies seeking practical housing support for their workforce. Daily stays start at ₱1,800 per night, while monthly co-living rates begin at ₱6,100, making well-located, walkable living more accessible within major business districts.

Smarter Urban Living in the Heart of Cebu

With its central location, complete amenities, and community-driven design, CityFlats Cebu Business Park introduces a living model that aligns with how the new workforce prefers to live: within reach of workplaces, with expenses managed more efficiently, and surrounded by opportunities to connect with others. As more professionals seek to reduce commute times and maximize their budgets, co-living models like The CityFlats are poised to play a larger role in shaping how people live in rapidly growing urban centers.

Ayala Land opens the next chapter of its Cebu growth story with the public unveiling of Gatewalk Drive—a new access road that connects Lopez Jaena Street to M. Logarta Avenue and marks the beginning of Gatewalk’s transformation into Mandaue City’s newest commercial and lifestyle district.

Ayala Malls Gatewalk, Mandaue

Building on the success of the Cebu Business Park and the  Cebu I.T. Park, Gatewalk represents the next wave of Ayala Land’s developments across Metro Cebu -- a vision shaped by stronger connectivity, modern urban design, and inclusive growth for one of the country’s most dynamic regions.

A Connected Future for Mandaue

For years, Mandaue City has served as a vital link within Metro Cebu’s northern corridor, home to industries, businesses, and communities that continue to fuel the region’s economic momentum. The opening of Gatewalk Drive strengthens this role by improving mobility between major thoroughfares, and opening a new, more strategic route within the city.

Christie Francisco – Mandaue City Planning and Development Office; Jay Teodoro, Ayala Land Deputy Head for VisMin Estates

By linking Lopez Jaena Street with surrounding commercial and residential zones, the new road enhances access, eases travel, and unlocks the potential for future developments within the estate. It is the first physical step toward fully activating Gatewalk’s long-envisioned place in Mandaue’s urban landscape.

“The opening of Gatewalk Drive is a strong start to the district’s long-term vision,” said Jennylle Tupaz, Head of Central Luzon and Vismin Estates of Ayala Land. “Gatewalk is designed to become a central hub in Mandaue, where accessibility, commerce, and community come together. This milestone reflects our continued commitment to shaping dynamic, well-connected districts across Metro Cebu.”

Expanding Horizons

Gatewalk is envisioned to grow into Mandaue’s central commercial and lifestyle district, rising on a foundation of connected streets, active public spaces, and integrated urban experiences. Future developments are planned around a diverse mix of uses—office, retail, leisure, civic destinations, and green open spaces that encourage community life.

Ayala Malls Gatewalk will feature creative hubs, gaming zones, and design-forward food hall

Ayala Malls Gatewalk will serve as the heart of fun in Cebu and is designed to be a vibrant entertainment and dining destination.

Inspired by BGC High Street, the Greenway is designed as a pedestrian-first park and retail destination that prioritizes walkability, open spaces, and everyday urban enjoyment.

At the heart of the district will be a next-generation Ayala Malls, scheduled to open by the end of 2026. Designed with immersive entertainment concepts, modern dining clusters, and community-focused spaces, the mall will anchor Gatewalk as a major northern destination for lifestyle, culture, and recreation.

Complementing this will be a walkable 1-hectare Greenway, landscaped parks, and pedestrian corridors that encourage movement on foot and foster healthier, more enjoyable everyday experiences.

These interconnected components reflect Ayala Land’s commitment to creating estates that balance progress with livability—where mobility, nature, work, and lifestyle exist seamlessly within reach.

Part of Metro Cebu’s Next Wave of Growth

Gatewalk stands at the forefront of Ayala Land’s newest estate network across Metro Cebu—alongside South Coast City in SRP, Cebu City and Seagrove in Punta Engaño, Lapu-Lapu City. Together, these emerging districts are designed to complement the company’s legacy developments in Cebu Business Park and Cebu I.T. Park, while opening new frontiers for growth and investment across the region.

As infrastructure strengthens, businesses expand, and communities grow, Gatewalk is positioned to become a defining destination in Mandaue City, a place where enterprise can flourish and where families and professionals can thrive. With development now progressing, only a limited number of prime commercial lots remain along M. Logarta Avenue, the future home of corporate headquarters and landmark business addresses.

The Beginning of Gatewalk’s Story

The opening of Gatewalk Drive marks more than improved access, it signals the beginning of a new district that will reshape how people experience Mandaue City. Each road, each open space, and each future development contributes to a shared vision of sustainable growth, dynamic commerce, and vibrant community life. With stronger connections and a bold vision ahead, Gatewalk is poised to become one of Metro Cebu’s most exciting new destinations.
