I was in Cebu city in 2013 for 3 weeks and what you describe was still similar

I cant comment on Cebu but these countries are changing rapidly and what they were like in 2013 is likely not especially relevant

if you checked, I was replying to someone that described how it was in 2005 and I had the same experience in 2013, so

I'm sure it's possible it has changed quite a bit but change isn't always for the better.
