[edit] WikiProject Philippine LGUs
Wondering how to edit the article? The WikiProject Philippine LGUs could be of help. :)
[edit] Visaya origin
Can anybody site the source of the name Visaya, where is the source that says that Visaya came from Shri Vishaya ?--Jondel 09:07, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Visaya
Salve (Hello in Latin)! I 'm trying to find a link or source for the origin of the name Visaya. This is to be used in the Hinduism in the Philippines. I would appreciate any help. Gratias ago(Thank you)--Jondel 08:17, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
Zaide (either Sonia or Gregorio; father-daughter tandem), Philippine History and Government. I'm not sure about the title of the textbook though. Jute 00:25, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
- This is very useful. Gatias ago.--Jondel 00:28, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Second Largest Group
On "Cebuanos being the second largest ethnic group... Tagalogs outnumbered them..." What is your source and basis? It hardly seems likely that Tagalogs would suddenly experience a growth spurt. It might be that there are more people speaking Tagalog now, but that doesn't mean that the people who speak Tagalog are Tagalog in the ethnic sense. Please cite your source for reference.
- Maayong adlaw! My source is the Philipine Census from 1960 - 2000.
- 1960 - Tagalog was 21% and Cebuano was 24%
- 1970 & 1975 - both Tagalog & Cebuano were at 24%
- 1980 - They counted differently just for this year. 30% of households (not people) were Tagalog-speaking. 24% for Tagalog.
- 1990 - 28% Tagalog individuals. 24% Cebuano.
- 1995 - 29.3% Tagalog. 23.2% Cebuano
- 2000 - 28.2% Tagalog. Severe undercounting for Cebuano, which was 15.5%! It is most likely 18 million, which is about 23.5% of the population.
- The large increase of Tagalog is largely due to the influx of migrants to Metro Manila. And the adoption of Tagalog in other parts of the country. --Chris S. 02:27, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
Hey, Chris S. That's exactly my point. The Census is obviously based on the number of people who speak Tagalog, not on the actual number of people who are Tagalog. I think there's a confusion between Tagalog-speakers and Tagalogs as an ethnic group. But I am convinced with your numbers. Thanks. Jute 05:03, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
- Hi, Jute. The section of the census pertains to mother tongue statistics. Meaning, they ask what is the native language of the person being counted. People who speak Tagalog as a native language are at about 21 million. On the other hand, people who speak Tagalog as a 2nd language is at over 60 million. --Chris S. 12:23, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
Hello! According to the latest ethnologue (http://www.ethnologue.com/show_country.asp?name=PH), there are 20 million native speakers of Cebuano and 14.5 million native speakers of Tagalog. I would tend to believe SIL more than our government when it comes to surveys. SIL is probably more experienced in conducting and analyzing these kinds of surveys. They are probably also more objective. I'll do some editing the soonest I have time. --Nino Gonzales 09:28, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Cite some problems with the province?
Look, I'm all for promoting our beloved island of Cebu, but this article doesn't show most of our problems as a province, such as deforestation, pollution, and drug trafficking. Anyone want to add this information on the article?
[edit] Suggestion to break up the article
Mga kauban,
I think the article is too large and unwieldy now to be just in one page. I suggest that we summarize the section and transfer them to their individual pages.
I wanted to add Cebuano literature here, but since it is too big to be included in this, I just put it in another page.

[edit] This article is advertorial
Can't someone introduce a little balance? Especially bad is the section on Mandaue City.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 124.168.32.26 (talk) 03:17, 11 February 2007 (UTC).
[edit] List of Cebu Cities
These two places of Cebu namely; Cacar and Bogo are not yet a City and there is no Republic act declaring that these places are City. But instead these are still a Municipality. On the other hand, Talamban also not a City but this place is still part or belongs to the jurisdiction of Cebu City which is under the rule of Mayor Thomas Osmeña, the Cebu City mayor. Therefore Talamban still a Barangay. Fusion2fusion2 4:57, 19th of April 2006, Cebu Philippines
[edit] Suggestion to add an External Link
If it is okay to add a new external Link to this article. The URL is [http://www.cebuevents.com www.cebuevents.com Cebu's guide to the hottest happenings in town]. thank you!
is public service a spam? it is a free guide to all events in cebu. pls reconsider. it will surely help the cebuano community. thank you!
[edit] NPOV
"Cebuano culture is laid back and has unfortunately preserved Hispanic traditions in its culture due to the Spaniards invading their land and taking almost every thing away that they originally had and also had practiced."
That is not a NPOV.
Agree. The use of excessive and hard-to-prove descriptions must be observed. Get rid of POV. Thanks. BritandBeyonce (talk•contribs) 10:37, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.
