Talisay
Talisay City is a 3rd class city in the province of Cebu, Philippines.
According to the 2000 census, it has a population of 148,110 people in 28,751 households.
Talisay is known for its "Inasal
Baboy" (Roasted Pig). Its name is taken from the 'Mantalisay' tree which is abundant in the city. It is primarily a residential
and trading center. Talisay City is part of a metropolitan area known as Metro Cebu.
Talisay was founded in 1648 as an estate owned by the Augustinians. In 1849, it was converted into a municipality
with Silverio Fernandez as its first gobernadorcillo and Pedro Labuca as captain.
Some accounts claim that Talisay got
its name from the Magtalisay trees which are endemic in certain areas of the municipality, while others claim that Talisay
got its name from a town in Spain.
During both the American colonial period and World War II, Talisay served as a haven
of colonial military forces. The municipality served as the center of guerrilla intelligence operations for the Philippine
resistance movement in Cebu during World War II. Returning American forces landed on the beaches of Talisay on March 28, 1945,
an event that marked the eventual surrender of Japanese forces on Cebu. That day is now an official holiday in the province
of Cebu.
In 2000, the municipality of Talisay was converted into a city.[1] The municipality is now linked to Cebu City
via the new South Coastal Highway from Lawaan, opened in 2004. This has brought some recent inward investment in the form
of sub-divisions, some hastily planned and plagued by problems.

is situated in the southern part of the province of Cebu and is about fifteen (15) kms. from Cebu City. It takes more or less
