Since 2013, SunStar Cebu’s Best of Cebu has been recognizing and celebrating brands and companies for their exemplary products and services. This has also served as a platform for many to reach a bigger audience. After months of blind taste tests and deliberation by the committee and the guest judges who are experts in their fields, 78 winners emerged from the 2021 search. Once again, here are the Best of Cebu 2021 to help you see, taste and experience, the best of the island.
