[rohypnol]

Grabe na sad kaayo ni bay.Â*

Bay, ngutana lang ko ha. Maayo man kaha ang Cebu. Ngano daghan man lagi taga Cebu moadto ug Manila para mangita ug trabaho kung maayo ang economics diri. .

Paki explain lang ug maayo aron masabtan sa atong mga televiewers.

peace! im a born davaoeño and stayed for a considerable time n cebu, im now working here in manila, react lang ko ok?

taga cebu lang ba ang daghan sa manila davaoeños are nagkalat here!!! maybe as much as there are cebuanos din. kaya dont be close-minded nga taga cebu lang puro, and some are not really from cebu, theyre from other parts of mindanao who studied in cebu and considered cebu as their hometown na.

ako mangutana sad nimo, ngano daghan man davaoeño nag work ug nag school sa cebu?
does it mean na walay good schools sa davao? and the economy of cebu is better? mao na ni diha ron! magpataka man gud ta ug yawyaw but in the end, mo boomerang lang gihapon sa ato.

wala nay asiaweek, victim of financial crisis

anybody here has any news on the most competitive cities for 2005?

Cities of the National Capital Region still dominated the list of most investor-friendly localities, the Philippine Cities Competitiveness Ranking Project 2005 reported on Monday.

Cities in Mindanao however figured prominently in the list of most competitive mid-size and small cities, indicating an improvement in the performance of their local governments (LGU).

The poll used seven criteria for its ranking, namely the cost of doing business, dynamism of local economy, linkages and accessibility, human resources and training, infrastructure, responsiveness of the LGU to business needs and the quality of life.

The report cited Davao, Las Piñas, Makati, Marikina and Muntinlupa as the most competitive metro cities, with Marikina topping the survey in infrastructure, responsiveness of the LGU to business needs and the quality of life.

Davao was voted as the city which had the least cost of doing business, while Makati excelled in human resources and training.

Although Manila was voted as having the most dynamic local economy, it failed to get a high rating on other standards.

The most competitive mid-size cities were Bacolod, Batangas, Iligan, Iloilo, and San Fernando (in Pampanga province).

Bacolod dominated in infrastructure and quality of life; Batangas in linkages and accessibility and the responsiveness of the LGU to business needs; and Iloilo in human resources and training.

Zamboanga got the highest ranking in cost of doing business and dynamism of local economy but they were not enough to put the Mindanao city among the top five.

The top 10 small cities were Dagupan, Koronadal, Legaspi, Naga, Olongapo, San Fernando (La Union province), Santa Rosa, Surigao, Tagbilaran and Tagum.

Dagupan was ranked first in human resources and training, while Koronadal got high ratings in cost of doing business and infrastructure.

Olongapo also scored well in linkages and accessibility and in human resources and training. Santa Rosa had the most dynamic local economy and also did well in responsiveness of the LGU to business needs.

Surigao had the least cost of doing business while Tagbilaran had the best quality of life.

Coming in second on the quality of life criterion was Naga. It also got good ratings in human resources and training and the responsiveness of its LGU to business needs.

Tagum, meanwhile, got good grades in responsiveness of the LGU to business needs.

The project, which included 65 cities, was undertaken by the Asian Institute of Management Policy Center, in collaboration with the United States Agency for International Development, the Asia Foundation and the German Technical Cooperation.
