Cebu Pasalubong/Souvenir Items
Filipinos are exceptional when it comes to thoughtfulness. We love to give presents even on regular days.
Returning home from a vacation in the tropical paradise of Cebu is not complete without pasalubong and souvenir items. Native delicacies, customized t-shirts, key chains and others are simple ways of showing we remembered our dear ones while on a trip.
Listed below are popular pasalubong items in Cebu.
Dried mangoes
If want to be extra sweet, healthy dried mangoes are ideal pasalubong for families and friends. These are sun dried ripe mangoes available in leading supermarkets and groceries in Cebu.
Chicharon (Pork skin cracklings)
