For business owners in Eastern Visayas
“Beside the old church.”
“Across from the plaza, second gate.”
“The one with the blue roof.”
“Just ask anyone there, they know it.”
Everybody knows where you are.
Everybody who already knows you.
Everyone else is holding a phone, typing what you sell, and finding somebody else.
Do not take our word for it
Go on. Look for yourself.
Type your business name. This box searches the real catalogue, right now, the same way a customer would.
Two letters is enough to start.
The catch
Here is the catch, in full.
Everyone asks, and they are right to. So here is the whole bill for a listing, itemised, with nothing left off.
Paid plans do exist, for owners who want a bigger page and promotion tools. Nobody is moved onto one, and the form never asks for a card.
Fine, sign me upCJ CATALOGUE
Eastern Visayas
No card required. No trial period. No invoice to follow.
THANK YOU, COME AGAIN
Before they leave the house
Three things a stranger checks. You currently answer none of them.
“Are they even open?”
Nothing ruins a Saturday like driving out to a locked door. People would rather check first, and if they cannot check, they go somewhere they can.
“What does it look like?”
One photograph decides more than any description you could write. A page with none reads as closed down, whatever the words say.
“How do I get there?”
Beside the old church is a perfect answer for a neighbour and useless to a phone. A pin opens directions in one tap.
Where this stands today
Small enough that you will be noticed. Which will not last.
- businesses listed
- 299 businesses listed
- tourist spots
- 150 tourist spots
- towns and cities
- 24 towns and cities
That is a real number and a small one. It is also the entire reason to do this today rather than next year: the top of your category, in your town, is very probably still empty. Somebody is going to take it.
Also included, which surprises people
It keeps working after you close the laptop
Messages land in an inbox
Not in a comment thread at eleven at night that you will scroll past by morning.
Hiring is free too
Post the opening. It reaches the region's jobs board, and applications come back to you.
Your fiesta, on the board
A sale, an opening, a fiesta weekend. It goes on your page and on the events board.

Questions
Before you start
Is it really free?
Yes, and the receipt above is the whole of it. Every listing starts free and stays free, and the form never asks for a card. Paid plans exist for owners who want more room on their page and promotion tools, but you are never moved onto one without asking.
Who can add a listing?
The owner, or someone the owner has asked to do it. You submit your own contact details with the application, and we use them to confirm the business is really yours before it goes live.
What if my business is already on the site?
Send it anyway. We read every application before publishing, so a duplicate is spotted at that stage and merged into the listing that already exists, with you attached to it as the owner. If you would rather sort it out first, contact us and we will look it up for you.
How long does it take to go live?
We read every application within 3 to 5 business days. Two things have to be settled before it publishes: your email address confirmed, and enough on the page to be worth showing, which means at least a logo, a photo and a short description.
Do I need an account first?
No. Fill in the form as a guest and an account is created for you when you submit. The confirmation email carries the link that sets your password.
Can I change things later?
Yes, and you do not wait for us again. Once your listing is live, your edits save straight to the public page with no second review.
Tonight, someone will ask a phone where to eat in Calbayog City.
Make sure it has an answer.
Free, and it takes about as long as a text message.
