A view from a boat below the Marcelo B. Fernan Bridge in Cebu. A gray sky and thick clouds predict rainy weather. This bridge above the Mactan Channel connects Mandaue City to Lapu Lapu City, and it is currently the longest cable-stayed bridge in the Philippines. Cebu City is the second largest city in the country after Manila. Cebu City is located on the Cebu province in the central Visayas region.
