Although a first class city and like every city in the Philippines, it is basically a slum with dilapidated houses, garbage and open sewers everywhere. Poverty is quite evident when you cross the Mactan Bridge where you can see houses not much bigger than your average dog house in Western nations.Mandaue lies right across Mactan Island where Lapu-Lapu City is located. Mandaue is connected to Mactan Island via two bridges the Mactan-Cebu Bridge and the relatively new Marcelo Fernan Bridge.Despite having a relatively small land area of 3,487 hectares or 34.87 square kilometers.Mandaue City has a total population of 318,575 people, Based on the 2007 census. Mandaue is known as the Furniture Capital of the Philippines which is not saying much nowadays considering that the furniture industry in the Philippines is on the doldrums and probably on its last days. Mandaue has a long history of commerce. It was once a busy port where merchants traded and conducted business. Today it is a modern metropolis wherein about 40 percent of Cebus export companies are located and 75 percent of the furniture exports in the entire nation.^[1]
