Bad Facts about Cebu City: Correct me if wrong, but explain it to me.

[jessieventura]

wala man tawn kay mahimo kung ang imong kaistorya dili kahibaw magtagalog.
mahadlok jud na og mudagan para mangitag tabang. rude diay na?
ang rude kung gasige ra siyag bisaya nga nakigestorya ninyo.

cebuano kaha muadtog manila unya ang tagalog ang tindera or waiter.
unya magbisaya ta. dili kaha ta balikason?
although mas naa silay urbanidad tungod kay syudad sila.
pero kung sa language double standard man gud ka.

gusto nimo kitang bisaya musabot nila.
pero ang mga tagalog musabot ba nato mga bisaya?

i know daghan tag angay usbon.
pero balanse ra man para nako ang cebuano og tagalog.
daghan man sad angay usbon sa mga tagalog bi ba?

mas peaceful sad tingale diri sa cebu kumpara sa manila.
mas daghan snatcher ug kawatan didto kaysa diri.
mas traffic. sorry ganahan pa gihapon ko sa cebu.

pero dili nimo imention ang rudeness sa mga taxi drivers sa manila?
dili gani sila musukli. kung plitihan P60 unya imong kwarta P100--goodluck kung suklian pa ka.
lambahan pa ka sa pultahan.
diri sa cebu suklian pa tawn kag sakto.
sure ka nakasakay na kag taxi sa manila?
ituyoktuyok pa ka.

sad but true. di lang sa suklian, but the drivers would also refuse to take you in if they don't want to go where you're going. quite a hassle if you're in a hurry and you can't bring your car.

TS pa conio2x man sad siguro ka. Mauwaw ka magbinisaya sa atubangan sa imo mga "friends"? Basin sad sige pamalikas ang imo mga "friends" from Manila? Kinaham man kaayo na nila ang tang-ina ug uban pa. Mahug man ikaw ang host sa imo mga "friends", kay ikaw gyud ang pure Cebuano. Ikaw lang unta ang nahimong translator, or nagpasulabi sad ang imong ka-conio.

Naa sad ko sa Metro Manila karon TS, pero mas ganahan pa gihapon ko mopuyo sa Cebu kaysa diri sa Makati(Ganito kami sa Makati,hehe). Wala na lang sad kwenta ang mga jeep sa Manila noh? Naa pa man gani ang mga Sarao, bisan pa sa Ayala sa Makati. Hinoun kung naa ka nagstay & work sa Bonifacio Global City. Aww, lain gyud imo pagtan-aw sa Manila.

Ayaw lang laina pagsabot ni ang akoa post, pero gi-judge na tika daan. Medyo sarcastic lang sad ko. Anyway, dili man sad ko mohatag sa akong simpatiya sa imong point kay mabaw ra gyud kaayo. It's not a big problem at all. Ayaw na lang balik sa Cebu, ari na lang sa Manila kay nindot kaayo pirmi lang wala trabaho kung kusog ang ulan.

Hi! I'm a pure Cebuano, but i recently came back from Manila after 4 years and from what i notice it's either Cebu has changed or I'm just not used to the old set-up. I've notice a lot of things on my first few weeks here and i know its really different from Manila but the things that I've observed can be improve but I don't know how to and maybe I just don't have the right ground to dictate. (I'm not giving any comparison i just want to state the facts)

A few things i noticedI'll add more soon)

PUJ Jeepneys - Cebu City's promoting tourism and it gives us a lot of benefits such more income for Cebu, but how come we can't even improve the looks of our public transport, I mean let's all admit, we can still see jeeps from 80's that are roaming around the city also there are jeeps that have holes in the floors that are sometime covered with ply board or sometimes not. And one more thing any Public Utility Vehicles have no smoking rules, and here in Cebu i observed a lot passenger doing that.

Malls, Restaurants and FoodShops - When i arrive here in Cebu i was with a few colleagues from Manila, and a series of negative events happened in just a day. we were in a certain mall in Cebu to visit a restaurant which is famous for their baby back ribs and other American inspired food. our waiter was very kind to us, while we were browsing thru their menu she even offered us drinks, but the problem started when made our order, since the people I'm are from Manila they spoke Tagalog, on the middle of the conversation between our group and the waiter, she suddenly walked out (actually ran away) without excusing herself and went to group of waiters which were standing on the reception area of the restaurant. she was asking her co-workers questions, after a few minutes she came back with another waiter, by then we realize that she was having trouble speaking Tagalog. from our part we would have understand but bearing the idea that we were talking and then she just ran away, that was weird!

Continuation of this story, after eating we went inside the mall also a very famous location in Cebu, to make the story short my friend went in one of the boutiques he was asking about the sales person something but she would just response in Cebuano, my friend ask her to kindly speak Tagalog for he cant understand our dialect but still she continued to response in Cebuano, so my friend just left the boutique.
i know some of us have difficulties in speaking certain language i admit i do, but is that a proper way of treating people, specially these people are tourist.

These are not facts. these are just bad experience or a mishandled situation.

If you're a Cebuano yourself, you should have intervened, or even handled the situation and not just judge them by what they've done. Lucky you, you can speak tagalog, bisaya, english and what other language.

They maybe a tourist, but they should know that there's always a language barrier. You can't force someone to speak their language especially, not all are well educated. If they are, then, they won't be there in first place.
