Cebu Sealife Park Inc., also the developer of the country’s first ever marine theme park, the Manila Ocean Park, announced that the Cebu Ocean Park will feature the largest oceanarium in the Philippines.

The oceanarium is seven-meter deep, which also showcases a 360-degree viewing tunnel that houses thousands of the world’s most amazing marine species.
