Take out your thinking caps as several talks are lined up for March in Cebu.
The scheduled events in Cebu this March are diverse and nothing short of exciting. Even as a soothsayer warned Caesar about the ides of March, Cebuanos will have nothing to fear with the events scheduled for the first half of the month. A K-pop event, sing-along party, and rock and roll concert—these are just a few of the things residents of and visitors to the Queen City of the South can look forward to on the first weekend of the month.
On the other hand, social relevance seems to be the theme for the second half of March with a tech update discussion and movie about adulting. Think the third month of the year is slow in Cebu? Think again and check out the following events in Cebu this March.
