Little Baguio of Cebu

Mantalongon - 'Little Baguio of Cebu and the Vegetable Basket of Cebu'

Mantalongon is not called "Summer Capital" and "Little Baguio of Cebu" for nothing. Mantalongon, a hinterland barangay some 14 kilometers up the scenic mountains, is popular with its cool climate even during summer. In fact, it is the most popular of all barangays in Dalaguete. The name itself is already synonymous with high value crops especially vegetables and flowers. With its pleasant climate all year round, many city folks and other out-of-towners come in droves during summer to escape the sweltering heat in the lowlands.

    


Mantalongon also called the Vegetable Basket of Cebu because it is one of the major vegetable supplier to the other towns in Cebu province. Everyday, tons of vegetables are delivered to Carbon Market which is the biggest Public Market in Cebu City.
