Thank you @Camino Chrissy. We need to encourage her.I have a forum friend from the Philippines who now lives and works in Quatar. She is busy and rarely participates any more. She is @yaying on yhe forum. I have emailed her and informed her of the Cebu camino if she has not heard of it yet.
It is along the middle backbone of Cebu sir @doctorherman, far far away from the busy corridors. The humidity is the one obstacle why pilgrims here should walk in a certain time frame. In January and February, the weather is mild on the mountains and ridges. A 68-year old Swiss national just finished a Camino Cebu just this January.This is very interesting indeed. I may look into this for next year. I have just returned from the Philippines 2 weeks ago, visiting the amazing Garin Farm Heaven and many old churches in the south of Panay. There are some amazing churches in Visayas (Cebu Cathedral is beautiful too, as is San Sebastian Bacolod Cathedral).
A Camino would be fabulous, though I wonder if it is along the busy roads, as they are very dangerous and unpleasant or is it across quieter terrain? Also, with the high humidity and heat from about 10 am, the stages would have to be short and involve very early starts.
Interesting. Hahaha...By the way, travel with donkey is allowed on the Camino in Spain. Is travel with carabao allowed on the Philippine Camino?

Likewise. Buen Camino!Madamo nga salamat Sir Trailhawk. This really does sound fabulous, being away from the main roads.
I know the southern island of Mindanao does have an element of Islamic sepratism but, as for the majority of the country I would/did feel just as safe as I did in Europe.Interesting but the country is not very safe.
11 foot tall botafumeiro and 9 inch tall statue of Santiago. There's a place that knows its priorities.They have already finished the structure that would hold the 11.5-foot botafumeiro. Actually, the increase in cost includes a 9-inch tall statue of St. James.
Cebu is in the center of the Philippines and has the best peace-and-order situation in the country. It is very far from the trouble areas of Mindanao Island where Islamic militancy had been quelled time and time again; as well as with a long-running Maoist rebellion.Interesting but the country is not very safe.
The Archdiocese of Santiago de Compostela in Cebu, PH lately had refrained from imposing a fee which may already include a 9-inch statue of St, James, and downgrade it to 500 Pesos, which is equivalent to 8.38 euros, which already assures you of a credenciales and a native scallops necklace. Since there is no GPS waypoints along the way, you may have to hire a local guide. Please contact me to make this Camino of the tropics possible for you.wow. This is cool. My wife is from Cebu and I have mentioned to her about having a camino around Cebu. The humidity in Cebu is pretty tough. I'm just wondering why is the certificate so expensive? It is supposed to be affordable for all walks of life.
