The His History of my Hometown

Lahug Cebu City.

By Randy Fabiosa Jr.

Lahug was an area that was once covered by a

vast expanse of towering trees. In the 1950’s an
intervening businessman built a fashionable and
classy residential district which is now known as
The Beverly Hills. Lahug used to be a by-word of
local air travelers. Airport was once in Lahug but
in 1967 airport operations were transferred to
Mactan Island owing to a bigger airstrip and to
lessen the danger of airplane crashes because
Lahug airport was only a few kilometers from
downtown Cebu.

Lahug has 443 hectares with more or less

35,275 residents. Lahug is considered as the
second largest barangay within Cebu City. It
also became the home of many investments
and businesses. Lahug has already been part
of the economic and social cycle of Cebu City.
