Cebu Strait, sometimes called Bohol Strait, is a strait in the Philippines that separates the island provinces of Cebu and Bohol. The Cebu Strait connects the western part of Bohol Sea with Camotes Sea, and is a major sea-lane connecting Cebu City on its northern end with port cities in the south such as Dumaguete City and Cagayan de Oro City.
Cebu lies to the east of Negros Island; to the east is Leyte and to the southeast is Bohol province.
Cebu itself does not have a rich source of raw materials for furniture-making due to denudation of the forests, however, several the manufacturers are able to procure their materials from other islands and from imports as well.
Cebu is known for its narrow coastlines, limestone plateaus, and coastal plains, all characteristics of a typical tropical island.
Cebu is the oldest Spanish settlement in the Philippines.
It is bounded on the East by the Camotes Sea, on the West by the Tanon Strait, on the North by the Visayan Sea and on the Southeast by the BoholStrait.
In the aftermath of the assassination of Benigno Aquino and the subsequent instability in Manila, Cebu grew and prospered.
