CEBU CITY — The Cebu City Council has urged businesses to use the Cebu ano language or Bisaya in daily transactions, following a councilor's call to preserve the city's cultural identity through its native tongue.In a privilege speech during the council's regular session on Wednesday, Councilor Joel Garganera said that Cebu anos have not fully maximized the richness of their language.'Kalami paminawon sa paglitok sa atong kaugalingong pinulongan nga Bisaya ,' he said.
Garganera also emphasized the importance of fostering public appreciation for the Bisaya language, asserting that 'nothing could surpass its value.'The councilor noted that efforts to promote Bisaya have been ongoing. He recalled a meeting in early 2024 with the Hotels, Resorts and Restaurants Association of Cebu and local governments of Mandaue and Lapu-Lapu, where stakeholders committed to incorporating the local tongue in their industries.
