CEBU
This is the capital of the island of Cebu, and ranks v ith Iloilo among the ports of the Philippines. It was at one time the seat of the administration of revenue for the whole of the Bisayas, but this was removed to Manila in 1849. Cebu is a well-built town and possesses fine roads, but the people are devoid of commercial enterprise. The trade of Cebu consists principally of hemp, sugar, and copra. The neighbouring islands of Leyte, Mindanao and Camiguin possess extensive hemp plantatious, a large proportion of the produce of which finds its way to Cebu for shipment. There are some very valuable and extensive coal deposits in the island of Cebu, but the mines have not as yet been worked with any enterprise.
Cebu is rapidly growing in importance as a trade centre and when the projected harbour improvements are carried into effect will quite likely be the principal port for the export of hemp.
