In the coming weeks, DiningCebu.com will review some of the fast-growing and much raved about pizza restaurants here in Cebu. From the famous Alberto’s and their very affordable pizzas, the gigantic 30″ pizzas from Calda Pizza, and other pizza places like Handuraw, Da Vinci’s, Amicos, Jersey’s, JCA, and much much more.

List of Bohol town fiestas
They say that the island of Bohol sinks about an inch in May due to the thousands of Bol-anons who come home to attend the many town and barrio fiestas celebrated during the month.
