Safe and not polluted

As a city, Cebu is safe from anything that endangers the tourists. Cebu City has strategically located police post in every barangay and lots of lights in the streets. Major establishments have adopted an advanced security system. Cebuanos can rely on the police force to have an efficient and effective enforcement of the law to keep peace and order in times of emergency.

Add to that, emergency hotline numbers are displayed in every available phone booth. In case of accidents and emergencies, the City's fire stations, rescue units and hospitals are ready to serve not only the residents but also the tourists. The Cebuanos are also trained on the basics of first aid.

Pollution is Cebu can be considered minimal, unlike the other metropolis in some parts of the world. It is a progressive and industrialized city, yet the authorities keep close watch of harmful emissions for motor vehicles and industrial factories; thus retaining a cleaner environment. Cebuanos themselves are vigilant as a people. They have a deep and sincere concern for the environment, the residents as well as the tourists.
