Once upon a time, there was an island. That island became Cebu.

Mad love & respect to the people of Cebu and to everyone who came to be a part of that unforgettable Sinulog Sunday.

It’s growing at a really fast pace. Because of this, more and more people move to Cebu and it’s become so traffic with the pursuit to move people around. All this is giving certain politicians ideas for more “ideal” projects even if there are more important issues to address.

This is our effort to show you how nice the city sidewalks have become in certain areas. Unfortunately, not many take time to notice it. As a brand rooted in the streets, we want to bring people back to streets and prefer an alternative mode of transport that is oil-free and fun – skateboarding.

Skate your city. It’s yours, too.

The passion for people – it’s what we connect for.

Now, you no longer have to find a “you are here” map again (you’re already lost to begin with.haha).

or when you wanna do a Tower Heist or an Ocean’s 11 job, here’s a little help from our friends at Google. Start here.

His work is semantically correct, syntactically consistent, and pragmatically understandable.

He likes it to be visually powerful, intellectually elegant, and above all timeless.
