A new 4-storey hospital in Mandaue City is planned and set to rise as part og the city's efforts to upgrade public healthcare services.

A new, modern four-storey Mandaue City Hospital (MCH) with approximately 257 beds is planned to be built to enhance healthcare capacity in the city.
The project is estimated at around ₱1 billion with funding from national budget allocations and pledges secured by city leaders.

The city government and implementing agencies are targeting to begin construction in 2026, once detailed engineering design and procurement are completed. The build-out will be done in phases as floors are completed, they will be made operational, allowing parts of the hospital to serve patients sooner while full construction continues.
The new hospital will rise within the compound of the current Mandaue City Hospital on Don Andres Soriano Avenue, with the existing facility remaining open during construction.

Once finished, the hospital aims to become a Level II facility, expanding services like inpatient wards, specialized units (e.g., ICU, dialysis), emergency care, and more for residents of Mandaue City and nearby areas. This project reflects Mandaue City’s push to improve access to modern healthcare and public health services for its growing population.

✈️🛥️ "SEA YOU SOON!" Cebu Airport Launches Jet-to-Ferry Transfers for Island Hoppers
By: Your Travel Pulse Desk

CEBU CITY — Fly in, sail out!
That’s the new pitch from Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA), which just announced its latest flex: a seamless air-to-sea transfer service connecting the airport straight to nearby islands like Bohol, Siquijor, and Camotes — no taxis, no drama, no wasted time.

The system, rolled out under the "Cebu+" program, will let travelers book ferry tickets right at the airport, hop on a free 5-minute shuttle, and board their ride at Mactan Marina Wharf, just in time for their next tropical escape.

“Instead of competing with island destinations, we’re bundling them,” said Christine Villanueva, the strategic brain at Aboitiz InfraCapital Cebu Airport Corp., during a launch event on July 10.

🧳 From Runway to Reef
Dubbed “CEB Connects”, this innovative blueprint marks a big leap in intermodal travel — turning Cebu into a true central hub where planes, ferries, and vacation dreams collide.

The first wave of this initiative includes:

✅ 2 scheduled Supercat trips daily

🧭 Access to Bohol, Camotes, and Siquijor

🎯 Plans for Malapascua, Bantayan, and Dumaguete in the pipeline

Travelers arriving at MCIA can now book, ride, and sail in under 30 minutes — cutting out the chaos of taxi lines and third-party port transfers.

🌐 International Push
Even global travelers are part of the plan. The airport has partnered with Klook to help market the service abroad, so tourists from Japan, Korea, and beyond can now plan multi-stop island trips with ease.

“This is part of a larger vision — Cebu as a superhub,” insiders say.

And it doesn’t stop there. More expansions are underway under the "Cebu Balik" program, focused on providing better air-to-air transfers and OFW support services, especially for arrivals from the Middle East.

⚓ Fast Facts:
🛫 MCIA → 🚌 Free Shuttle → 🛥️ Mactan Marina Wharf → 🌴 Island Destination

🎟️ Ferry ticket booths inside the airport terminal

🤝 Backed by Supercat Fast Ferry Corp and Mactan Wharf Corp

🚀 Launch backed by February 2025 MOA signing

🌍 Promoted internationally via Klook

💬 Bottom Line?
Forget layovers. Cebu just became the official springboard to the Visayas. With MCIA’s air-sea express, your next white-sand paradise is just a boarding pass and ferry ticket away.

Asia’s Safest Airlines for 2025: Full-Service and Budget Carriers Leading the Skies

In an era where safety and reliability are paramount in air travel, a new ranking by Time Out Asia spotlights the top-performing airlines in Asia when it comes to safety for 2025. The list is divided into two categories: full-service carriers and low-cost airlines—each reflecting the highest standards in operational safety, fleet maintenance, and incident-free records.

Full-Service Champions

Leading the full-service category is Cathay Pacific from Hong Kong, long known for its exceptional safety record and top-tier service. Japan dominates the list with ANA and JAL both making appearances, a testament to the country’s aviation excellence. EVA Air of Taiwan and Korean Air of South Korea also secure spots, recognized for their modern fleets and rigorous safety protocols. Rounding off the full-service segment is Vietnam Airlines, representing Southeast Asia with growing international credibility.

Low-Cost Leaders

Among the low-cost carriers, HK Express emerges as the safest budget option in Asia, followed closely by Malaysia’s popular AirAsia, which continues to maintain a strong safety reputation despite its rapid growth. VietJet Air from Vietnam and IndiGo from India highlight the rising standards of budget travel in developing markets. Cebu Pacific of the Philippines and ZipAir from Japan also make the cut, proving that affordability doesn’t mean cutting corners on safety.
