I had the opportunity to visit the Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral during my recent trip to the Philippines, and I must say it was a breathtaking experience. Upon arriving at the cathedral, I was immediately struck by its majestic facade. The towering twin spires and intricate designs of the exterior were a sight to behold. It truly reflected the rich history and heritage of the city of Cebu. As I entered the cathedral, I was welcomed by the soothing sounds of the choir and the peaceful atmosphere inside. The interior was just as stunning as the exterior, with high ceilings, grand pillars, and beautiful stained glass windows. I couldn't help but feel a sense of tranquility and awe. One of the highlights of my visit was witnessing a mass being held. The service was conducted in both English and Tagalog, making it accessible to all worshippers. I was moved by the strong sense of community and devotion from the locals. It was a powerful and unforgettable experience. After the mass, I took some time to explore the cathedral and its surroundings. I was amazed by the attention to detail in every corner, from the intricate decorations to the well-preserved artifacts. The cathedral also has a museum that showcases the history of Cebu and the role the cathedral played in it, which I found to be very informative and interesting. Visiting the Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral was not only a spiritual experience but also a cultural one. It was a beautiful representation of the fusion between Spanish and Filipino influences. I could see why it is considered to be one of the most significant landmarks in Cebu. Overall, I highly recommend visiting the Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral to anyone traveling to the Philippines. Whether you are religious or not, the beauty, history, and cultural significance of this cathedral make it a must-see destination. It truly is a gem of Cebu and a testament to the strong faith of its people.

A very beautiful church in the heart of Cebu. Had to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation here since apparently all confirmations in Cebu can only be done here now. If you're looking info for confirmation, all you need is to bring a photocopy of your Certificate of Baptism and come to the church office early (before 7am) on the 1st or 3rd Saturday of every month. Tell the staff on the window that you are there for your confirmation. You will be asked to pay a P200 fee. Parking fee is P30 if you go beyond 1 hour and 30 minutes.

It is one of the iconic churches in Cebu City, but it is in need of a major renovation. If possible, the entire church should be air-conditioned, and the sound system should be upgraded. A similar situation to what happens in other Catholic churches occurred—during a wedding photoshoot, a church staff member took the microphone from the wedding organizer and began reading the names of souls in purgatory, in preparation for the next scheduled mass. It was quite appalling.

The Cebu Cathedral is a church that was builded in the 20th century the building has a nice Spanish architectural look with it's interior and exterior being very good the exterior represents two bell towers and a arch entrance representing a European look the inside is serene and nice feels a Spanish and Flipino vibe me and my mom came here to pray 🙏 and after that the place is nice to look around overall very nice if you are feeling a bit historic.

When I was studying in Cebu City and later on during my seafaring journey, this place of worship was always on my list of must-visit destinations. The atmosphere inside is incredibly calming, and attending mass here can make you feel as though you're in heaven. In 2016, I took some photos of the church for a photo blog. However, the guard seemed unhappy about it, so I decided to take photos only outside the church.

Visisted CMC today since my errand is mostly in this area. Attended the mass too. Few people joined the mass since it was noon time. I do recommend as one of the best ⛪️ to have your wedding here. Parking is also available inside the church and some is located at the right of the church(if you are facing the church). Picture and video is upload for you to check it out or better to visit the place.
