MERGED: ALL ABOUT PHILIPPINE CITY, LUZON VISAYAS AND MINDANAO

[apocusp]

---

exc
excuse me, Mr. Al Aboitiz is not the top man, DLPC is still controlled by the Aboitiz & Company, which is headquartered in Cebu, and in fact reporting in SEC Cebu, just like the Cotabato Light and other Aboitiz companies in Cebu. Check out your facts.

Your answers are off-tangent kababs, read closely! I didn't say they have their HQ in Davao, I just said AL Aboitiz would choose to be called Davaoeno than Cebuano.

[apocusp]

asa kaha ka ug facts, bai nga ang income sa cebu city, wa kaabot ug 3 billion, when cebu city is the one of the top 5 cities in terms of income? Top 4 yata, based on DILG data.

Akoy tubag ani para kang Malaysia kay basin tulog pa siya. Top 4 ang Cebu? Ikapila ang Davao? Big slap!

Our very own Lito Osmena launched PROMDI.......... an initiative to develop all the neglected provinces..... to bring jobs to the province not just NCR(National Capital Region)......

Has anyone from Davao made such a BOLD MOVE?

As a cebuano we want our neighbors to grow as well..... we encourage tourist to visit nearby Bohol even Siquijor(which is promoted as Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry)

Lito Osmena saw the need to bring jobs to the regions.... and WE CEBUANOS STRONGLY AGREED..... we don't want only Cebu to grow and developed but our neighbors as well.......

Our very own Mayor Tommy Osmena has encourage investors to check out also the nearby provinces... because our mayor knows we don't have much land and prices will just increase if investments continue to pour in...........

Our LEADERS have VISION.......... while others have none...........

Amen! galing naman. Yes, your leaders would say check out the other places to rid your city of hangers-on. Go to other city and they would have less burden in your city.

naghimo man ila mayor ug mindanao republic pero palpak kay walay ni support, daghan supak. Naghimo ug ilaha national republic song unya walay klaro ang lyrics and yabag pagkacomposed. hahaha

Clearly you didn't understand the objective of PROMDI............ so you are saying INVESTORS or Hanger-ons are NOT WELCOME in DAVAO.....

good idea.... now the TRUE COLORS of Davao are seen........... Burden to DAVAO city?? hehehehehe who is a burden to Davao City?

Maybe DAVAO is so proud not to WELCOME any investment................. What a city......... only in DAVAO..... INVESTORS are a burden.....


We tell foreign investors to look at opportunities in nearby provinces....... Because its better that jobs stay there and people need not move around.........


if this is the kind of thinking DAVAO has ("check out the other places to rid your city of hangers-on")............. Cebu really is the best....

manila will always be the philippines top city no matter what, but between cebu and davao, not until davao can provide a much stronger data, cebu remains on top!

posting these data's until davao can come up with a more solid, bold and impressive indicators!!!

apocusp, present us with data, kay murag nawala na sa passing ang davao verus aning mga datas, ug imo pa ko ipa search sa google? aw daghan man kahag maanyag na resulta sa google pakit-a kuno mi diri, we'd rather like to see data's than your mediocre and illiterate rebuttal.

Laina sad anang ILLITERATE oi, mura'g makatoo man sad ta ana. basta walay ikapakita nga data, makatoo gyud ko. hahahaha

40,000.00 of barely surviving souls due to below minimum wage. I need not explain further kay human na ko ani.

Unya sige panghambug anang ubang industrial park diha, unya walay sulod. There's a glut there. Inyong EPZA for light industries is sitting idle for a long time now. Tua na seguro sa China ang mga prospective locators.

again, basaha ang statistics if theres is any form or any kind of the glut that you are blabbering here, ug barely surviving ang mga trabahante sa epza's, unsa na lang kaha ang lugar na walay epza.

and again, basaha ang statistics, if these zones were left idle as you have been saying here, why such increased economic activity?

..... STILL WAITING FOR DATA'S FROM DAVAO

[tolstoi]

they are ashamed of presenting data/stats about their BANANA and BATIK industry
