if you're planning a 2-day weekend trip around cebu, i suggest the following:

 

from the airport, your group may go to lapu-lapu shrine, beside it is sutokil (shoot to k*ll or sugba-t'ola-kilawin, t'ola is short for tinola) where you may have your lunch. then you may go hotel hopping in mactan before proceeding to maribago blue waters for a swim in their postcard-perfect lagoon. by 5pm, i suggest your group take the climb up going to tops, where you'll see cebu city (and mactan) down below. as night falls, the buidling lights are being turned on one by one. and more often than not, you'll experience being inside a cloud in tops. night life in cebu is aplenty: from sleazy mandaue clubs to slick comedy bars.

 

on the following morning, go picture-taking at heritage. beside it is a generations-old museum-like house which should you should indulge. several blocks away is the mactan's cross (better get your fisheye lens ready) and church of santo niño, then it's off to guitar-making alley and fort san pedro (oldest fort in the philippines). lastly, shop at ayala cebu, where in my opinion has more beautiful chicks per square kilometer than anywhere else in the country
