CEBU

This is the capital of the island of Cebu, and ranks with Iloilo as the second port of the Philippines. It was at one time the seat of the administration of revenue for the whole of the Visayas, but this was removed to Manila in 1849. For many generations it has been an important centre of Roman Catholic Missionary enterprise, and in this connection it may be mentioned that the present Seminary and College of San Carlos was founded by the Jesuits in 1595 as the College of San Ildefonso. Cebu is a well-built town and possesses fine roads. The trade of Cebu consists principally of hemp, sugar, and copra. The neighbouring islands of Leyte, Mindanao and Cainiguin possess exten- sive hemp plantations, a large proportion of the produce of which finds its way to Cebu
