Suspended in the sky on the 63rd floor of The Dome at State Tower, I was taken to the Skybar at Sirocco, one of the world’s highest open air bars that looks as if it would literally drop to oblivion if it wasn’t for the glass fencing.

The focal point of growth and development in Southern Philippines History plays a vital role in shaping the world we have today… being the country’s oldest city, Cebu can truly boast its rich cultural and historical heritage. From a busy trading port in the 50’s, Cebu has transformed itself into a quite a concrete jungle with many boxy looking sky scrapers.
