Hi!
I'm in the process of setting up my graphic design business in the Philippines. I'm unsure if I should go to Manila or Cebu?
Seems like Cebu is a great laid back place, less stressful than Manila. However Manila will have more work-force potential employees?
I'm really looking to build my graphic design team. I'll love this to happen in Cebu, but I'm unsure if Manila will be more convenient to find better Graphic Designers?
Thanks
B

Both Manila and Cebu have a thriving creative industry, and both cities have a considerable number of graphic designers and design agencies. Manila is the capital city, and it may offer a wider range of clients and opportunities. On the other hand, Cebu has a lower cost of living and may offer a more relaxed lifestyle. Ultimately, the decision will depend on your personal preferences, budget, and target market. Good luck to your business and more clients to come!
