Hi Karen and welcome.
I hope things work out for you soon. Cebu is a great place, my wife is from Cebu - and of all the places and cities we have been to visit there we love Cebu the best. Way nicer that Manila! WE both know Cebu City like the backs of our hands now, even though my wife comes from a town called Argao - which is about 45 minutes down the coast from CarCar.
With all the bad points about living in the Philippines and the good points living in the UK, Cebu wins every time.
