Sports and Leisure
The island of Cebu has a large tourism industry. The southern town of Moalboal is famous for its diving spots. Small vacation houses-cum-resort are the accommodation norm around here.
There currently nine golf-courses, around the island, to choose from.
One of the island's limited array of sporting venues is the Cebu City Sports Complex. The complex was constructed when Cebu City hosted the 'Palarong Pambansa' (National Olympics). The main feature of the complex is its track and field oval, along with a 10,000-seater 'main' grandstand. An Olympic-sized swimming pool, along with a 1,000-seater grandstand, sits next to the 'main' grandstand.

He has no time to be anything but a machine.”
