Quiz

Private van or Ceres bus?

Eight questions about the trip you are actually taking. How many of you, how much luggage, who needs to be back by six. Answer them and it picks the one that costs you less, with September 2026 fares behind the arithmetic.

What is coming, and when it lands

A guide can tell you the CCLEX is 8.9 kilometers long and you will forget it by lunch. Run it yourself and the number sticks. Everything here is set in a place we have actually been, so the answers hold up when you go.

The app hits the App Store on 9 September and the Daily Suroy comes with it. One question at midnight. Name a province in the Visayas and most people say Cebu. Name the one nobody else picked, and the rank shows it.

Two more are close. Para Kanino? hands you a pasalubong budget, six people to buy for, and a bag that will not close. Asa Ta? turns a barkada budget into one Cebu itinerary, then throws a complication at it. After those, a Philippines round wider than Cebu.

Done playing? Go somewhere. Every place in Cebu, mapped, or work out what the trip would cost.
