Located 19 kilometers away from Cebu’s capital city, Liloan is a first class municipality that is aiming to join the list of Philippine cities.

     Both residents and visitors alike are enjoying Liloan’s peaceful and quiet atmosphere.

     When before visitors flock to Liloan for its beaches and other sceneries, now thousands of people from other towns are drawn to the town because of its active livelihood campaign through various jobs fair.

     Liloan has also become a catchment area for migrants, considering it is less than an hour away from major economic and industrial center. Its rapidly growing population is being served by rural banks, two telecommunications offices, a college and 60 other educational facilities, as well as small and medium businesses like hardware and grocery stores.

     Employment in private and government offices is the major source of income for families. Others are into livestock, marginal fishing and farming.

     Liloan is home to pottery makers as well as makers of different kinds of furniture. It also has the Titay’s Rosquillos which was founded more than 100 years ago.

     Its church, with San Fernando Rey as its patron, dates back to 1847. Liloan also has two other parishes—one in Cotcot and the other in Yati.

     A famous landmark for Liloan is the lighthouse built in 1904, during the American period.

     Well-known Liloan-born personalities are Pilar Pilapil, a beauty queen-turned movie actress and Democrito Mendoza, president of the Associated Labor Union-Trade Union Congress of the Philippines.

     Aside from its efforts to become a city, Liloan now envisions of being the first town in Cebu, or perhaps in the country, to have access to internet from all its barangays, even in the mountains.

     Soon, Liloan will be even more accessible from the airport and seaports because of the construction of the North Coastal Road, a major road artery which cuts travel time to the north.
