Kalami Cebu! - A Gastronomic Guide to Cebu

A key milestone in the transformation of Mactan’s waterfront was marked today with the signing of a hotel management agreement between Cebu Yacht Club Development Corporation and global hospitality group Accor for the future ibis Styles Cebu Mactan at Cebu Yacht Club. The agreement paves the way for Accor to operate the hotel under the ibis Styles brand as part of the site’s wider redevelopment vision.   The signing ceremony was held at ibis Styles Manila Araneta Center on 24 February 2026, and represents the first implemented component of the site’s broader redevelopment program. The planned hotel will feature 150 rooms and will rise within a mixed-use building that also integrates office and commercial spaces, creating a vibrant hub for visitors and local enterprises alike. Representing the project partners during the ceremony were Kash Salvador for Accor; Sherwin John Uy for Primeworld Land Holdings Inc., Engr. Joseph Pepito representing St. Joseph Optimum Ventures Inc. and Ramo...

Jake Adonis Sibial grew up in Danao City with a clear picture of who he wanted to become. Aviation fascinated him. The skies felt like a possibility. But at sixteen, life interrupted that path in  the most unexpected way. Jake was diagnosed with leukemia. For any teenager, that kind of news can feel overwhelming — a sudden pause on plans, school, an d the future itself. Hospital rooms replaced classrooms. Treatments replaced routines. And for a while, everything else faded into the background except one thing: survival. Yet even in the hardest moments, hope found a way in. A Wish That Changed Everything Through the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Jake was given something powerful — not just an ex perience, but a reason to believe again. His wish? To experience life in aviation. What followed was nothing short of extraordinary. Jake trained at a real flight school in Malaysia. He learned from professionals. He sat in a c ockpit not as a visitor, but as someone trusted to understand,...

Happy New Year, Kalaminions! 🎉 2026 is here, and with it comes a promise—a promise to myself and to all of you. This year, Kalami Cebu isn’t just back ; it’s ready to serve more than just food posts. It’s a revival of a vision : helping everyone, from local food lovers to OFWs craving a taste of home, and tourists dreaming of Cebu, discover the best places to eat and experience the heart of our city—one bite at a time. For me, Kalami Cebu has always been about more than just sharing food. It’s about telling stories behind every dish , celebrating the people who cook, serve, and create experiences, and making it easy for you to know where to go, what to order, and how much it’ll cost . But 2026 comes with a challenge: I’m committing to frequent, daily articles, keeping the content fresh, relevant, and useful. It won’t always be perfect, but it will always be sincere, fun, and helpful. Whether it’s an old favorite you’ve missed or a hidden gem waiting to be discovered, Kalami Cebu will...

  If there’s one thing I’ve learned as a food blogger and content creator, it’s that  time and convenience are everything.  When I’m out shooting food videos, jumping from one café to another, or editing reels late at night, I need gear that keeps up. That’s why Samsung’s latest releases — the  Galaxy S25 FE ,  Galaxy Tab S11 , and  Galaxy Buds3 FE  — instantly caught my attention. These aren’t just cool new gadgets. They’re a  total ecosystem upgrade  that makes daily life smoother, whether you’re creating, hustling, or simply enjoying your favorite local eats. 🍜📱 🌟 The Galaxy Ecosystem in Action: Seamless from Street Eats to Screen Time What I love most about the Galaxy lineup is how everything just…  flows. Imagine this: you’re filming a food stall scene using your  Galaxy S25 FE , then you sit down and seamlessly transfer that footage to your  Galaxy Tab S11  for quick editing — no cables, no lag, no stress. That’s...

“I want to be like you, Mama.” Every parent dreams of hearing those words. They’re not just sweet—they’re a reminder that our children look up to us, draw from us, and want to carry our light forward. As parents, we dream even bigger dreams for them: to finish school, to find their calling, to live with security, and to keep reaching for the stars. But here’s the thing: life doesn’t always go as planned. We don’t like thinking about it, but what if one day, we’re no longer there to provide the means? What happens to the child who wants to be a doctor, an engineer, or maybe an artist like you? Without support, dreams can fade. And that’s something no parent ever wants to imagine. This is where  Plan B  comes in. More than a financial tool,  life insurance is an invisible safety net . It’s the promise that even when you’re gone, your love still protects. It makes sure your child can still finish school, still stay in the home they grew up in, and still have what they need t...

When it comes to Cebu’s food scene, we’ve always been spoiled with classics like lechon, ngohiong, and sutukil. But if you’ve got a sweet tooth, there’s a rising star in town that deserves a spot on your must-try list— Kat & Perry’s Kitchenette   in Tisa. I first learned about this humble doughnut shop through social media, and what really caught my attention was when a local award-giving body recognized them for having  the best doughnuts in Cebu.  That kind of praise isn’t something you hear every day, so naturally, my curiosity was piqued. A Sweet Sunday Discovery One Sunday, I decided to make the drive to their shop located at  Cabarrubias St., San Jose Village, Tisa, Cebu City (nearest landmark: House of Fruitas). Kat & Perry’s opens at  12 noon , and believe it or not, I was  Customer No. 1  for the day. The anticipation felt like lining up for fresh bread in the morning—but this time, it was for doughnuts. I ordered a box of six assorted...
