Why Cebu is the Queen City of the South

by: Dubhe F. Estallo

1From
a fishing community ruled by a chieftain in pre-Hispanic times, Cebu has risen to
become one of the largest and most industrialized cities and the most developed business and
technology hubs of the Philippines.
2Cebu is a province in the Central Visayas of the Philippines. Its capital, Cebu City, is
referred to as the Queen City of the South owing to its location in the southern part of the
Philippines and its robust economy. However, the title “Queen City of the South” was originally
bestowed upon Iloilo City. Queen Regent Maria Cristina of Spain named Iloilo “Muy Noble
Ciudad” (Very Noble City) because it was loyal to Spain and had the second largest economy
next to Manila. People fondly called it “The Queen’s Favored City in the South,” and, eventually,
it became known as “The Queen City of the South.”

 PILOT IMPLEMENTATION OF THE MATATAG K TO 10 CURRICULUM

Overtime, Cebu surpassed Iloilo’s economy and became the second largest economy
outside of Manila. Since Cebu is also located in the south, it was given the name “The Queen
City of the South” and has been known by this name ever since. At present, Cebu is a center
for trade, internet technology and business process outsourcing, shipping, and furniture-
making.
Cebu is known throughout the country not only for its economy but for its history as
well. 3Cebu is the oldest city in the Philippines and is considered the cradle of Christianity.
4In fact, Magellan’s cross is one of the most visited tourist spots in Cebu. It is situated right

next to the equally popular church Basilica Minore del Santo Niño de Cebu. Pilgrims and
devotees visit this church to pay homage to Senor Santo Nino de Cebu (infant child Jesus).
Most notable, too, is Cebu’s Sinulog which is a festival in honor of Senor Santo Nino de Cebu.
Aside from its churches, Cebu also has a military fort and watch towers which date
back to the Spanish period. Some of these are the Oslob watch tower and the Fort San Pedro
which is the first military defense structure ever built by the Spaniards.
When it comes to tourism, Cebu remains to be among the top tourist destinations. With
its mountains, beaches, falls, and historical spots, there’s something for everyone at Cebu, the
Queen City of the South.

Footnotes

1 In the pre-colonial period, Cebu was divided into barangays which were each ruled by
a datu (chieftain).
2 The province of Cebu consists of the main island and 167 other islands and islets.
3 The Spanish explorer, Miguel Lopez de Legazpi, named Cebu as the first Philippine
city under Spain on April 1565.
4 Magellan’s Cross is an octagon-shaped kiosk that houses the cross erected by
Ferdinand Magellan in the 1520’s. It is believed that inside this cross is a relic of the original
cross that Magellan ordered to be made during the baptism of Cebu’s Rajah Humabon and
family. Humabon’s clan became the first Christians, thus, Cebu is referred to as the cradle of
Christianity.

sweet sweeter sweetest

great greater greatest
white whiter whitest
short shorter shortest
brave braver bravest
tall taller tallest
hot hotter hottest
big bigger biggest
sad sadder saddest

● When the adjective ends in -y, the -y is replaced with -i and the suffix -er and -est are
added to form the comparative and superlative degrees respectively.

Positive degree Comparative degree Superlative degree

happy happier happiest

lonely lonelier loneliest
lively livelier liveliest
busy busier busiest

English Quarter 3 5
