We are pleased to introduce our 10th member of our Ng Khai family sites. This is the Cebu WikiPedia, which is basically an encyclopedia of facts and figures about the province of Cebu. Although our resident volunteers, headed by Jorge Ocana, had put in already about 500 pages of Cebu information, this is an open encyclopedia that anybody who logs in can add and edit the information. We hope that in the near future, it can become more than 2,000 pages or even 5,00o pages of the most uptodate information about Cebu.
