Culture Of Cebu
Culture () is an umbrella term which encompasses the social behavior, institutions, and norms found in human societies, as well as the knowledge, beliefs, arts, laws, customs, capabilities, and habits of the individuals in these groups.Tylor, Edward.

Because of its subjective side, beauty is said to be "in the eye of the beholder".
