Original Cebu datasets — dated, sourced, reusable.

The Visayan Electric (VECO) residential all-in rate in pesos per kWh for Cebu, recorded per observed billing cycle. An original longitudinal series: every point is dated and sourced to the utility or a primary news report, with no interpolation between observed cycles.

The Metro Cebu Water District (MCWD) residential tariff: the minimum charge for the first 10 cubic metres and the per-cubic-metre rate for each consumption tier above it, dated to the effective resolution.

Pesos per one unit of major currencies, on the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas Reference Exchange Rate Bulletin basis — the rate used to convert a foreign pension or salary into a Cebu cost-of-living budget.

LiveInPH's editorial estimates of Cebu asking-rent ranges by neighborhood and unit type. This is NOT a measured index and NOT a sample: low and high are hand-written editorial bands, range_midpoint_php is simply (low+high)/2, and n is null on every segment because no listings have ever been counted. There is consequently no median and no p25/p75, and none are fabricated. Published as a baseline because an honest prior is more useful than a confident invention — the first real listing quarter is pending.
