A place to live, to work, to play, to study, to shop, to relax, to meet, to pray, to entertain and be entertained, to do multi-tasking. I find that the Cebu Business Park is a place TO BE.. a world unto itself. It is a world to love, to keep and to enjoy.

The Cebu Business Park developed by Ayala has undoubtedly transformed the landscape of Cebu's economic and lifestyle scene. The timing of the Cebu Business Park couldn't have been more perfect as the early 90s saw Cebu "crossover" from a small but progressive place into a major business and travel destination not only in the country but in the Asian region.It’s hard to imagine Cebu attaining its status today without this Ayala development. It’s quite apparent that Cebuanos are proud that Cebu has a world class development that not only for business but for leisure and entertainment, as well.

I have always enjoyed Ayala Mall for the convenient location right in the center of Cebu City. It is very central to my daily routine of work, school and socials.

There is a great selection of restaurants, specialty shops and two great grocery stores, all of these amenities bring me back again and again. I also feel totally safe and secure at

Ayala due to the visible security team. The Ayala Mall has brought a sense of sophistication to everyday living in Cebu.

I've always considered Cebu Business Park as an asset to the local tourism industry.It complements establishments such as ours in a very positive way, by providing a one-stop lifestyle destination that offers venues for shopping, dining, sports and leisure amenities, as well as a variety of other entertainment options.

With one of its properties holding an impressive selection of restaurants, cafes and bars, it has in fact become part of my regular weekend.

It is truly a sight to behold – an attraction in itself – and a testament to Cebu's progressive economic climate.

It is such a pleasant experience to stroll around the Terraces. Ayala Center has made it eco-friendly and functional at the same time. Bookstores are my thing. Since one of our offices is nearby, the accessibility to the mall combined with patches of green in the city makes Cebu Business Park an ideal place to work and unwind.

This pocket oasis has everything I need, starting with my lifeline: the sports club!City Sports is where I go and sweat out my toxins, and suffer for the sake of vanity.Once I've done penance, I hike off to Ayala Mall, where I indulge in the best desserts to be found in the south (Oh Georg!), and where I source excellent caffeine from the plenitude of coffee joints.Cebu wouldn't have been an attractive relocation destination without this park. It's urban living at its best. (FREEMAN)
