Hmm kun tanawun nako ang mapa sa Pinas, mura man naa jd sa tunga ang Cebu.
For me thats y they call it queen city becuz it is like d biggest city in d south.
Mas daghan pa pud business na establish sa Cebu compare to iloilo and Cbu has
a population of 2,439,005 while iloilo got 1,691,878. So comparing the two
I think Cebu is the largest w/ d area of 4,932.79 km2 (1,904.6 sq mi) while iloilo
got 4,829.1 km2 (1,864.5 sq mi) only. And also iloilo got two cities only w/ 43 Municpalties
while cebu has 6 with 144 munipalties. So I think ang pag basi sa queen city of the south
is a having a large econmic growth sa usa ka city district. Base lng sa akong na sabtan
about knowing about being as queen city of the south titled.

cebu is the right owner of that title because naa gud tay malacañang diri sa cebu. niya sa ilo2, naa diay?

For me, wai lalis. Cebu jud. Queen City of the South is a nick name (at least as far as Cebu is concerned). All you need to carry a nick name is when people KNOW you as such. And indeed, Cebu is the QCS not only to Cebuanos, but more importantly, to most people.

But awareness to Iloilo's part of the story should be an eye opener for us Cebuanos. I noticed that daghan nag post diri says nga "as far as they know", "sa ilang na mat-an..." So I guess its time for us to know a bit more. Naa na mga post diri about Iloilo's history so di nalang nako balikun. Di ba interesting pud? Infact, the title is actually part of Iloilo's charter as a city. So for them its a LEGAL right to carry the title.

For us, its a nickname that we earned through Cebu's success. And as such, we owe it to the non-Cebuanos who believe that indeed we deserve the title. Unsaun nalang if kita lang mga Cebuano sige angkun if ang uban di motuo, di ba? So the next time maka encounter mo ug prehas ani nga topic, especially kung taga Iloilo inyong ka storya, kalma, dont lose your cool. Since they are likely to argue with historical facts, then take it as an opportunity to learn. Respect their views. Behave like a true subject of the Queen City of the South.

Unsay labot sa pagka first capital sa Cebu sa pagka QCS?

Not even a question to ask. CEBU speaks for it's tittle. Just look around and you'll see.

Ilo-ilo?! Seriously?!?! Sorry but the sounds of it reminds me of something nasty which I prefer not to continue... I mean that CEBU tittle has been there for ages. Why bother to contest it now?!
