Cebu City is the oldest city in the Philippines and the capital of Cebu province, home to approximately 964,000 city residents and 3.3 million in Metro Cebu. Like all of the Philippines, it operates on Philippine Standard Time (PST, UTC+8). Cebu is where Philippine history begins — it was here that Spanish explorer Ferdinand Magellan arrived in 1521 (and was killed nearby in the Battle of Mactan), and it was the site of the first Spanish settlement in the Philippines. The Holy Child of Cebu (Sto. Niño) — a religious icon brought by Magellan and the oldest Christian artefact in the Philippines — is housed in the Basilica del Santo Niño, which draws millions of pilgrims for the Sinulog Festival (January) — one of the Philippines' largest and most colourful celebrations. Cebu is the Philippines' second-most important economic centre, a major hub for business process outsourcing (BPO) and furniture manufacturing. The surrounding islands (Mactan, Bohol with the Chocolate Hills) make it a major tourist hub.
