Culture

Much of the Cebuano culture has been influenced by the Spanish culture and indigenous Philippine traditions. The majority of its people belong to the Roman Catholic religion. However, Chinese religion have slowly seeped in and formed part of the growing religious groups in Cebu. Evidence of this is the large number of Chinese temples found in the region.
