gusincebu 92 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Not all areas in Cebu are highly polluted. Best to check out yourself where is acceptable. Mactan less traffic and pollution but often need to cross these 2 bridges that can be traffic..Also Cebu city near the new Robinson Galleria mall is not a congested area definitely better air then the innercity and with big roads besides the mactan channel its very comfortable there and your living right besides 2 big shopping malls.. Look you probably think you are doing someone a great service ,writing this stuff ..but , really , you are so far off the mark with some of it , im thinking you perhaps need to do some real boots on the ground research before posting this advice . Mactan , less traffic, less pollution .. Not the 3 years I lived there ! Sent from my vivo 1713 using Tapatalk 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Never seen a guard on the entances from Salinas Ave ..had a gf working as a call center agent in there , was in and out picking her up regularly . Sent from my vivo 1713 using Tapatalk Yes weird even every small mini supermarket in Phillipines have guards but the Entrance of the Cebu IT park according to you have no guards at entrance? Yes it’s privately owned compound says it even on the signs at their entrances. Most jeeps are not allowed in. Edited May 13, 2019 by Destiny1990 Link to post Share on other sites

It is reclaimed land, and the Mall is built in an area of green field. There is no accommodation nearby, unless you live in a tent. Google San Remo Oasis Cebu Developer Filinvest. Its 1400 meters away only from that Sm Seaside mall.. Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post ExpatPH 876 Posted May 13, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 13, 2019 .....Air pollution part 2 ..... From livingincebuforums Thread: Air pollution level Cebu Quote: Regardless of cement dust, the PM10 levels from diesel exhaust can be terrible in the Cebu metro area when the conditions are bad for smog retention in the metro area. Even without any cement dust, the sooty petroleum bi-product fallout coats everything it touches, including your lungs. Even with my car under cover in our garage at night, there is still a fresh layer of this crap covering my car every morning. It isn't as if it is attracted to car surfaces. It is totally indiscriminate, and will settle in your lungs or sinuses just as readily. Do you have a cough and lung and sinus congestion when living here? Now you know why. Of course, those living a couple of thousand feet above sea level don't have to worry nearly as much as those living down in the city Quote.

Popular Post cerox 619 Posted May 13, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 13, 2019 Thank you. I know the articles about the pollution which is why I asked about CM and Cebu. It seems the air quality in CM is much better (outside of the smoky season) for 8 months of the year. Unfortunately CM has become inhabitable for a longer and longer part of the year. You know, I just do not want CM all over again, and it seems Cebu would be similar. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

It's just that as a resident of Cebu, it's strange to read the fantasy, when I experience the reality. The rather hysterical reporting of pollution here is extraordinary, and usually emanates from people who don't live here. If it was so bad here, people would not settle here, and this is a rapidly expanding metropolitan area. If the pollution was so awful, why would SM build the biggest Mall I've ever been in? My adopted children have lived here their entire lives, they are all as strong as horses. I never said there wasn't pollution here - it's everywhere, I just don't want people to go away with the impression that Cebu is like some post apocalyptic landscape where everyone wears face masks. It's is certainly cleaner than Bangkok, where I also lived for 7 years. Surely the best information comes from someone with boots on the ground? I actually lived in IT Park some years ago, I left after 8 months because of the pollution and noise from the many jeepneys running through the Park 24/7. Make of that what you will. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites
