Why these tags

Heritage

From the sources

“There is a significant number of Filipino-Spanish heritage buildings in Cebu City such as Fort San Pedro, Basilica del Santo Niño, Magellan's Cross, and the Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral.”

“It is centered on the Basilica in Cebu City but is celebrated throughout Cebu Province and to some extent even in nearby provinces; it attracts large numbers of both tourists and pilgrims.”

Mountains

From the sources

“This sits at the top of the Mt Busay and has an unobstructed view of the entire city at night.”

Sentences are from this town's Wikipedia and Wikivoyage articles, found by code because they mention the vibe; they are not necessarily the ones the model relied on.
