Php15B with only 29 banks sharing the "loot"! Another good thing, we have home-grown banks--two branches of LSB and the head office of Camalig Bank. That means only 26 banks remit their profits to Ayala Avenue; then more cash could circulate around the city and the province. Imagine Php15B divided among 40 banks, minus administrative and overhead cost, that would translate to less profits! It's a no brainer that Php15B in 29 banks will gain the banks better than in 40 banks. "Less is more," or "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts"! These "foreign" banks mop up excess liquidity--and who will benefit? HQs in Makati and Manila. I'd like to see more prosperous local banks.
I hope our leaders will promote production and manufacturing (for starters, Albay has already the biggest share) and less service/consumer-led economic growth.

Paano na lang pag umabot na ng 40 banks sa Legazpi? eh di aabot na rin sa Php50B deposits nito sa banks.haha!:cheers::cheers::cheers:...Its more fun in Legazpi!:cheers::cheers:

Tibaad, nata may plano an ciudad mag laag ki city hospital.....kun malaag sinda, very good, at least that place will be full of city owned establishments and offices, aside from the 3 storey dorm-tel ni CA Rosal, beside the terminal

Ang Tabaco, Daraga and Ligao ay dakul man baga ang banks and alangkaw ang amount of deposits pero halos wara man sinda ki mga regional offices:lol:

Regional offices in Legazpi should not be equated to being having a higher bank deposits.The money collected from these offices are just transferred to the account of their main offices.igwa baga pigaapud na average daily balance :lol:

Igwang ba'gong eskultor sa Albay, dyan sa Cabangan, Camalig, right side going to Legazpi from Centro Camalig, aside from the sculpture at the back of Albay Cathedral.............made of wood.

Pero sa Mayon Daraga an eskultor, an materyales,................semento.......lang tibay mag kuti kuti..............an apod kaiyan.........


kamut kamutan:bash::bash::bash::bash:


An pamusuhun na eskultur diyan sa Albay kaito si Lorbes. An saiyang studio diyan sa likod kan Albay Cathedral. Gadan na man gayod ito ta gurangon na man haluyon na. Pero ito an paragibo kan mga rebulto diyan sa Albay.

Branches of "foreign" stores, malls, banks, etc., also help--they provide competition and in the process home-grown businesses adapt--or else. One example is Denver's thriving despite three (3) branches of Octagon computer stores within one square kilometer of the Port District of Legazpi.

But it does not mean that we should equate say the four (4) Jollibee branches in the five-kilometer Legazpi-Daraga contiguous urban beltway with economic growth. I'd rather see Waway's, Alibar, or Colonial Grill remain profitable than see another Manila-based food chain raking in profits and remit to their head office. It's a good thing Albay has other sources of income--mining, quarry, abaca/copra export, light manufacturing. Abo ko na para-alsada sana kita ki epektos na aling Manila. It will result in net-outflow of cash, su mga para-alsada sana an makikinabang. With production and manufacturing and export, money will more often than not remain or circulate here. Maybe it's overgeneralizing, but to me, franchise business is simply glorified "para-alsada."

Excellent! I also subscribe to this idea Monsi. If all those homegrown stores will prosper in Metro Legazpi and Albay Province as a whole devoid of those well known fastfoods, it will be an attraction by itself. If you are a tourist and looking for those national and international food chains but you can't find one, but finds a better substitute in local chains, that will be a very big come on.

Masunod kaiyan, LCC Oas and LCC Sto. Domingo, pero gari mas maenot an LCC Tiwi.............kaya siguro dai nalaog an 7/11, takot sa mga stores kan homegrown LCC............originally from Tabaco City.........the Liberty Commercial Center..........dati sadit sadit na tindahan..........pero ngunyan, .............becoming bigger and bigger.

Trivia:

Arin mas dakula.......LCC Legazpi of LCC Tabaco?

Tabaco?

The monument of Gen. Pawa at Banadero was already refurbished........nakilingan lamang nindo tabi......Bicolano sculture baga an nag pakarhay:cheers:

Yup. Saw it pero wara pa rendering.

Citi Hardware beside DILG civil work started and just beside, the lot owned by CATZ College , it was already cleared of and maybe they will construct already their new campus there:banana::banana::banana::banana:

If you are a tourist and looking for those national and international food chains but you can't find one, but finds a better substitute in local chains, that will be a very big come on.

Homegrown food stores in Albay:

1. DJC halo halo
2. Palamigan
3. Colonial Grill
4. Pares
5. Mexita Pizza

The lot at the corner of 5th St. in our ladies village and Tahao Road in front of Bombo Radyo is being filled up. This is a big lot.

Php15B with only 29 banks sharing the "loot"! Another good thing, we have home-grown banks--two branches of LSB and the head office of Camalig Bank.

I hope our leaders will promote production and manufacturing (for starters, Albay has already the biggest share) and less service/consumer-led economic growth.

Camalig Bank and Legazpi Savings are the two largest homegrown banks in Bicol. They have been serving Bicolanos for more than 30 years now and they remain strong and stable unlike other homegrown banks in Bicol who have closed down in recent years.

Tama, home grown business remits money in our own Kaban, para alsada means namursiyentuhan ka lang, look what happened to our fifth class municiplities before, now they are all first class town due to their own income within . Actually Alibar, Waways and Colonial Grill were doing better and we like them to expand like LCC, Camalig Bank and LSB, at least their main office is here, in Albay. If SM and other malls will come in, good competition and economic growth, but the bottomline, they're based in NCR, and remittances , a certain percent only goes to Albay, most profit goes to it's main office.

I like more homegrown businessess that will sprout all over the country, maski an JY dapat mag expand naman.

Marhay ngani ta anion satuya an original na Legazpi Oil sa Arimbay, At any rate friends, don't you worry, we have still 3 international ports and RORO Pioduran, plus the Legazpi Airport and the incoming International Airport.

With the Regional Center offices, mostly an mga naga office dyan naestar sa Albay, kun bako taga Albay, Naga board sinda and their money circulates in our place.

Aside from that, we have the Geothermal Plants, pera tabi an piga bayad na Realty Tax kani, milliones baga, mala ta an Sorsogon, maksakason an pag asenso, even Tiwi, sige sana an patugdok ki market, because of the taxes out from the energy source.

Maabot an duwang taon Albay is the most progressive province in Bicol....itaga nyo yan sa bato:bash::bash::bash::bash::bash:

With these accomplishments, mas maasenso man guiraray an padaba tang probinsya.

Tumpak sir dante it doesnt mean na yaon su mga regional offices kaya dakul an deposit sa mga bangko, nya nu man kon bako kita an financial center o kon ano pa man na titulo sainda na,,, basta su yaman gabos yaon sato.. nyahahaha:banana:

I am so happy for Albay... Can't we be a seperate state na lang?? hahaha I always dream of that.. One day kita sana an bako kabilang sa PILI-pinas.. lolololol

Good old competition is good for the consumers. And keep entrepreneurs on their toes to offer goods and services second to none.

Just curious Sir Dante. What is the source of drinking water of these subdivisions? Let me guess, drill and watertank. We have a lot of real estates surrounding BIA. I am inviting Camella Homes to look and see. Namantao is the next area of interest. Petron is already there with their gas station. Great forthsight.

SIX LANES an piga semento:bash::bash::bash::bash:


Do you know why six lanes? Three for departing and three for arrival traffic. And that's the way international airport traffic should be handled which in turn requires an expansion of the existing Maharlika Road to absorb the increase in traffic.

When all this roads are completed the vision of Metro Albay will be realized.
Cheers to Gov. Joey!

The Puro and Taysan Roads should be hooked up with the Estanza Road.

So malamang Savemore duman sa likod kang BU Arcade. Nice. That will boost even more the growth of Bicol's most progressive municipality :banana::banana::banana:

When will Puregold take over Quickmart po?

Local people may become used to it with our homegrown stores that sometimes they think we lack so much but tourists think otherwise. To balance it, national players are most welcome and really coming. Kumpleto rekados as I always say.

Meron na po but I can't disclose it, sorry. Basta masaya.

Ah.ok. Then dapat siguro maghintay na lang ako. Haha. :lol::lol::lol:

Kakauli ko lang, haleng Sorsogon. Su SLIA Access Road palan, bako lang 4 lanes. 6 lanes pa. Wow :banana: :banana: :banana:

Do you know why it is six lanes? Three for arrival and three for departure traffic. This is the way an international airport traffic should be handled which in turn involves expanding the immediate roads that lead to the airport (Maharlika Highway). Transportation business owners will be dancing on the streets with this news. I can see Sir Dante dancing the Cha-Cha.

I hope this six lanes will be the new bench mark in road construction in the province...lets hope that from that airport road to Legazpi via the new access road will be a six lane paved road too..and from point legazpi to tabaco..and tabaco to Ligao...SLIA to Donsol...Legazpi/Daraga to Sorsogon City...and Ligao to Naga City and to Daet...:cheers::cheers::cheers:

Dakulun po. Mga 40 plus po siguro ito. It's a mix of local and overseas employment agencies. But the largest were our homegrown companies like Sunwest, LCC,
Goodfound Cement and Rapu-Rapu Mining.

NGCP sets power interruption in parts of Albay

LEGAZPI CITY, April 23 (PIA) -- The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) has served notice of the scheduled power interruption due to the shutdown of some of its transmission facilities in areas covered by Albay Electric Cooperative (ALECO).

Nelson S. Bautista, NGCP South Luzon Corporation communication officer, said the company has set power interruption in some areas in Albay on April 25, 2012 at 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. to replace some electric poles, insulators and other line hardwares along Tiwi-Cale-Tabaco 69KV Line in Albay’s first congressional district.

NGCP has advised that specific cities and municipalities to be affected by the power interruption are determined by the concerned distribution utility or ALECO, unless the activity affects the entire franchise area.

ALECO allots the available power within its franchise area and implements the power interruption schedule among the end-users.

Bautista said that normal operations will immediately resume after work completion.

“NGCP’s customers and the general public are advised to take the necessary preparations and precautions for this scheduled interruption,” he added. (MAL-PIA5 Albay/NGCP)

MASBATE, CAMARINES SUR: POOREST OF THE POOR
Highest poverty incidence (http://www.bicolmail.com/issue/2012/apr5/b-story.html)

Bicol Mail

LEGAZPI CITY --- Masbate, which is dubbed as the land of “ranchers” and landlords” and Camarines Sur which parades itself as the country’s top tourist destination, are ironically the two provinces in Bicol with the highest poverty incidence, at least during the past three years, according to the regional office of the National Economic Development Authority (NEDA) here.

Rose Buan, public information officer of NEDA Bicol told Bicol Mail that Masbate, also tagged as the country’s “Wild West” because of bloody conflicts that take place here especially during election time, has a poverty incidence of 42.5 percent, the highest among Bicol’s six provinces. It is followed by Camarines Sur which has a poverty incidence of 38.7 percent among its population, based on data contained in NEDA’s Bicol Regional Development Plan 2011-2016.

The 2007 population census of the National Statistics Office (NSO) showed that there were a total of 5.1 million Bicolanos.

Of these total population, at least 2.4 million individuals (or approximately 385,338 families) in the Bicol region live below the annual capita poverty threshold of P17, 146.00 based on NEDA record, Buan said.

As early as 2009, poverty incidence in Bicol was placed at 36 percent, the fourth highest in the country. Masbate and Camarines Sur topped the poverty incidence record as aforementioned, followed by Albay at 36. 5 percent, Camarines Norte at 32.3 percent, Sorsogon at 31.3 percent, and Catanduanes at 22.0 percent.

A Bicolano family of five members should earn at least P85,739 a year or P235 a day so as not to be considered poor. But this income should be allocated only to the family’s basic services sans expenses for recreational or leisure activities.

Observers say NEDA’s economic classification should be updated by today due to past events and developments where an average family of five now, in order not to be considered poor, should be earning P35,000 a month, or P420,00 a year in order to live modestly and send the children to school.

Bicolano families in 2009 earned an average of P152,000 a year, which is much lower than the national average of P206,000.

Though Bicol GDP grew by 8.2 percent in 2009, considered to be the fastest growth among all other regions in the country, such improvement did not create enough jobs for the region’s labor force.

Last year, Bicol’s growth rose by 4.3 percent but apparently this did not trickle down to a significant number of Bicolano families where the majority has barely enough food to eat.

Albay Gov. Joey Salceda said that the government’s conditional cash transfer (CCT) or 4Ps program which was started by then Pres. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and now relentlessly pursued by the current Aquino administration has somehow helped alleviate the plight of many poor families in the region from survival existence to subsistence level.

Salceda, chair of the Bicol Regional Development Council said that the highest number of CCT beneficiaries are found in Masbate, followed by Camarines Sur, Sorsogon, and Albay.

In Albay, for instance, there are at least 19,767 poor families who have received dole outs from CCT. These recipients come from the municipalities of Tiwi with 2,528, Camalig, 3,130, Oas, 3,779, Guinobatan, 3,946 and Legazpi City with 6,384.

NEDA identified the following factors that contribute to the country’s worsening state of poverty: weak economic growth and unemployment, poor education and health, large population and poor agricultural productivity, slow land reform, natural disasters, armed conflict, unequal distribution of wealth, and lack of participation of the poor in local and national government.

Konting work-out pa Gov. Hope to see Albay as the richest province in the Bicol Region if not in the Philippines.

Although Bicol experienced fast growth in the previous yeaar. Di pa yun enough. We should never be complacent. Strive to do better parin.

Buti na lang may mga Albayano na nakabenefit sa CCT.

Please check my post sa previous thread. I've already mentioned there that quickmart will cease to operate by 2013....

What about Tabaco City po? Diba may chika rin na magkakaPuregold naman daa duman :cheers:

Yes puregold will soon put up a branch in Tabaco City and Sorsogon. Savemore will have its 4th branch in Daet soon,,, Yung sa Daraga secret na muna,,

An chika hale tabi sa insider ha?

Nata man kaipuhan kan government ta magtao ki dole-out. Bako man kita arog kan Denmark na Welfare state. Food for work na sana kuta sa mga pobre,. Tigaparaturuan ta sindang mag-asa, kaherakan..

Konting work-out pa Gov. Hope to see Albay as the richest province in the Bicol Region if not in the Philippines.
Despite Albay being already the richest province per capita (year after year; check NEDA statistics), it still needs to improve the lot of the less-privileged Albayanos. What I had been rooting for is industrialization, not franchise or retail--just imagine if every other house hosts a sari-sari store, who will buy from these stores?

We can only achieve industrialization if Albay has a hand at managing our resources, especially geothermal energy and precious metals. It is so unfair that Manila and Calabarzon get the power generated in Albay and Sorsogon (the Epira law crafted by a fellow Bicolano should be repealed!). Also, our share in the mining revenues in Rapu-Rapu should be increased.

Mond (Swing Vote), you have a lot to do there in Congress:

a) Repeal the Epira Law for Albay and Sorsogon to directly benefit from electricity produced here--even if only the host municipalities (Tiwi, Manito-Bacon) get preferrential rates. With cheap electricity, Tiwi and Manito-Bacon can host even just a few of the factories in Calabarzon. This will have a ripple effect in both provinces.

b) Why can't we get a bigger share in the "loot" taken out of Rapu-Rapu? Precious metals are shipped out of the island and processed elsewhere; what do we get? A landscape stripped of not only its metallic wealth but also its natural flora and fauna! Why can't the ordinary Albayano benefit from the mines? The least these miners can do is pay their taxes in Rapu-Rapu, not in Makati!

c) Another mine that had a rosy promise but turned out to have no benefit to ordinary Albayano: the cement factory in Camalig should be compelled to sell certain part of their total monthly output to Albay--cement should be cheaper here! Cheap locally produced cement could help further improve our infrastructure, already the most durable in Bicol (you do not see the portion of Daang Maharlika here reblocked year after year). In the meantime, lime deposits in Camalig and neighboring municipalities are being quarried for cement production--I hope what they do in Camalig, Guinobatan, and Jovellar has no direct effect on eco-tourism--pollution and depletion/destruction of flora could end up in Donsol River (how it will affect the plankton and the whalesharks, I can't think of yet).

d) Construct a Legazpi-Sorsogon Expressway (LSex; er, it's lewd!) to further spur economic activity between the two cities. If Rep. Gonzalez and Sen. Escudero were able to come up with Donsol-Pio Duran access road, why not Rep. Bichara and Sen. Escudero join forces and come up with LSex! (Our good doctor in London might coin a better name for this road; it is his brainchild anyway) Gabos na sana sa Calabarzon and Central/Northern Luzon an mga expressways (SLEX, NLEX, Cavitex, Clark-Subic-Tarlac, Tarlac-La Union); darahon ta man daw sa south kan South Luzon.

e) Hasten the construction of Oas-San Fernando bypass highway so as not to cause delays in the flow of traffic between Legazpi and Manila and vice-versa. Albayano motorists (and commuters) will save time, tires, and gas.

f) Mid- and long-term, transfer the Regional Center from Rawis to Villa Hermosa, allot one parcel each for Albay Capitol, Bicol General Hospital/BU College of Medicine, and Daraga City Hall. The place is far enough from geohazards (which is used by rivals to scare away investors) but accessible, the place being between Legazpi-Daraga metro area and Sorsogon City.

g) Upgrade PNR from that pre-WWII Cape Guage to Standard Guage, and extend all the way to Matnog, double tracks to avoid delays and head-on collision.

h) Compell all radio (FM) and TV stations to put their transmitters atop Mt. Bariw--they will have wider reach whilst using the same or less power. The voice of the Albayano should be heard--loud and clear--beyond Bicol.

My fellow Albayanos, you might have better ideas. Please post them here and let our man in congress (Mond or Swing Vote) craft the necessary paperwork.

Maray na Albay satuya gabos.:)

Yes puregold will soon put up a branch in Tabaco City and Sorsogon. Savemore will have its 4th branch in Daet soon,,, Yung sa Daraga secret na muna,,

An chika hale tabi sa insider ha?

Nice. Widespread developments in every part of Albay, not just in Legazpi :okay:

Are you talking about the lot in Daraga behind Bu Arcade po?

^^

I completely agree about the Legazpi-Sorsogon Expressway. Ulit ulit na ako pero kaipuhan na talaga yan especially with the upcoming opening of SLIA/BIA and for tourism and business purposes.

Maray na lang ta naiimprove na ang roads ta digdi sa Bicol. Pero kulang pa man giraray. Travel from Manila to Bicol is still very hard. This is something that should be given top priority. Construct a Bicol Expressway immediately.

Nope Just Quickmart and the nearby LSB that will be demolished next year,
I think ms megs know about that lot at the back of Baylon Building and BU Arcade.

I observed that every weekends - friday,saturday and sunday may stall pirmi ang Goldilocks jan sa may bangketa at Quezon Ave fronting LCC.. I just wonder if they will open a branch here..
:)

Daraga will not be having another big supermarket in the next two years. There is not much people I see buying at JY LCC Quickmart.. (baranga na pawno ) as observed.
Ako taga Daraga but then I prefer to shop at nearby Legazpi because the options are not limited. Much has to be done by the present administration of Daraga to encourage the investors to pour their money here. Yung overspill ng Legazpi nasa Daraga. But there is not much. Just my two cents.

At sus hilinga ta buminalik sa dating luma na ngaran ang thread ta? Dx paki-explain daw ini?

Pero those coming from the Southern Barangays of Daraga. And even some from Sorsogon make Daraga as their parang "centro". so I think big supermarkets are still a neccesity for this booming town. :cheers:

The owner of the lot behind bu arcade told us that sm savemore and puregold were negotiated. That lot will eventually become a mall. This is from the horse's mouth itself. I also learned that SM city turned it down because it is only 7 hectares.

In the meantime, lime deposits in Camalig and neighboring municipalities are being quarried for cement production--I hope what they do in Camalig, Guinobatan, and Jovellar has no direct effect on eco-tourism--pollution and depletion/destruction of flora could end up in Donsol River (how it will affect the plankton and the whalesharks, I can't think of yet).

d) Construct a Legazpi-Sorsogon Expressway (LSex; er, it's lewd!) to further spur economic activity between the two cities. If Rep. Gonzalez and Sen. Escudero were able to come up with Donsol-Pio Duran access road, why not Rep. Bichara and Sen. Escudero join forces and come up with LSex! (Our good doctor in London might coin a better name for this road; it is his brainchild anyway) Gabos na sana sa Calabarzon and Central/Northern Luzon an mga expressways (SLEX, NLEX, Cavitex, Clark-Subic-Tarlac, Tarlac-La Union); darahon ta man daw sa south kan South Luzon.

e) Hasten the construction of Oas-San Fernando bypass highway so as not to cause delays in the flow of traffic between Legazpi and Manila and vice-versa. Albayano motorists (and commuters) will save time, tires, and gas.

f) Mid- and long-term, transfer the Regional Center from Rawis to Villa Hermosa, allot one parcel each for Albay Capitol, Bicol General Hospital/BU College of Medicine, and Daraga City Hall. The place is far enough from geohazards (which is used by rivals to scare away investors) but accessible, the place being between Legazpi-Daraga metro area and Sorsogon City.

g) Upgrade PNR from that pre-WWII Cape Guage to Standard Guage, and extend all the way to Matnog, double tracks to avoid delays and head-on collision.

h) Compell all radio (FM) and TV stations to put their transmitters atop Mt. Bariw--they will have wider reach whilst using the same or less power. The voice of the Albayano should be heard--loud and clear--beyond Bicol.

My fellow Albayanos, you might have better ideas. Please post them here and let our man in congress (Mond or Swing Vote) craft the necessary paperwork.

Maray na Albay satuya gabos.:)

Yup I agree. Matalion talaga mga forumers ta digdi. Except ano man itong lsex? Naloka ako hahaha! Ano daw SOLEX na sana as in sorsogon-legazpi expressway na lang WITH TOLL!

Yes we are everyday on tabloids! Clap clap!

What is going on at Tahao Road? May dumping sa sarong bakanteng lote duman. Harani sa Central City.

There is also an ongoing construction in front of bombo radyo.

I observed that every weekends - friday,saturday and sunday may stall pirmi ang Goldilocks jan sa may bangketa at Quezon Ave fronting LCC.. I just wonder if they will open a branch here..
:)

Yes they will. :)

Hopefully the next Ms. Magayon will make it grand in the Bb. Pilipinas next year. Our two Albayanas did not grab it (well no Bicolana too!), but then thank you Ms. Jesalva and Ms. Buenviaje for cementing Albay's name as the Philippines' source of beauty queens. Indeed through you, you made Albay well known all throughout the Philippines. Clap clap!

My bet for Mutya ng Magayon is Ms. Dee who was last year's Ms. Ibalong. She resembles Toni Gonzaga.

Proud to say that the Team Leader of the Philippine Army Skydiving Team is from Legazpi City.

The second runner up of ms ibalong last year from Masbate has the x factor because of her Afro skin tone. If she's reading this, please make it in bb pilipinas. Remember black is beautiful making you distinct and exotic above the rest.

I hope to see more of these parachutes and air gadgets next year. The float parade with the malls is something unique too. Float parade should be a competition event next year. Ang ganda ng float ng embarcadero hehe.

Yeah but only the admins can edit that title. Well, all we need is a valid explanation.

Jan is the creator/owner of this forum. You are actually referring to this thread not the forum :okay:

Thank you but we need concrete explanation after all we're doing this for our province and nothing personal.

And it's a fact that ligao, Tabaco and legazpi are real and constitutionally approved three cities of albay. So our thread's name deserved such.

^^You should consult it with your fellow forumers and Dex if you really want to change its name.

Thank you.

I AGREE

Daraga will not be having another big supermarket in the next two years. There is not much people I see buying at JY LCC Quickmart.. (baranga na pawno ) as observed.
Ako taga Daraga but then I prefer to shop at nearby Legazpi because the options are not limited. Much has to be done by the present administration of Daraga to encourage the investors to pour their money here. Yung overspill ng Legazpi nasa Daraga. But there is not much. Just my two cents.

You just stated the real problem of Daraga - i.e. establishing its own identity outside the shadow of Legazpi. It's a real problem. Daraga will have this problem forever not unless it will be able to come up with a distinct and compelling situation that will be imprinted the minds of people otherwise it will remain in the shadow of Legazpi. Let's hope that the opening of the new international airport will be the one. That is why naming the new airport as Legazpi-Daraga International Airport will be an ideal one.

When large banks for example studies the opening of a branch in Legazpi they only look at Legazpi independently because they do not know that Legazpi can be classified as a metro area that includes its sister Daraga. With this, they sometime doubt the capability of the city to support a branch. But had they also gotten data regarding Daraga, the second thought would not happen.

One way to better promote Daraga is to always identify it as part of Metro Legazpi. This way investors will identify it as part of Legazpi and therefore would not hesitate to invest.

Yes sir Gary, I wish our politicians would consider "Metro Legazpi" or Legazpi Metroplex a la Dallas - Forth Worth or Metro Manila para mas malapit, :banana:

My vision for Albay: It has three growth centers -- Tabaco, Legazpi and Ligao sharing some administrative functions much like MMDA, water etc. I wish to call it The Tri-Cities of Mega Albay not to overshadow smaller municipalities but for the sake of equitable development. :)

Sir Gary and jpeeph I like your genuine comments! I agree.

That's why I always say metro legazpi where in fact I mean legazpi city and daraga.

True. People who are not Albayanos are not aware that the Legazpi market and Daraga market are one because of the proximity and abundance of transportation b/w the two. Just imagine the population of these two combined

If one a person from Legazpi would say na Mapa-Daraga siya. Considered siya na aranihun lang but if a person from Legazpi would say na Mapa-Sto. Domingo siya, considered na yan na harayo, even though both towns are just adjacent to Legazpi.


I believe that in the next few years, Daraga will be able to establish its own presence and identity in the Bicol Region as well as in the country without being identified as the "neighbor of Legazpi". But plainly as the City of Daraga (pag naapprove na ang cityhood)

Go Go Go Daraga :cheers1::cheers1::cheers1:

I like Metro Legazpi. The Tri-Cities is a nice idea too. It doesn't have to be restricted to Albay, it can include Sorsogon too, like the "Tri-State" Metro centred on NYC which includes areas from three different states.

Legazpi-Daraga-Sorsogon Cities! :cheers:

It is ultimately up to our local politicians to use this terminology. They should start calling it Metro Legazpi or whatever in official documents and press releases. That is how it catches on and that is how "Metro Naga" was born in the 1990s....if I'm not mistaken, no government diktat imposed this name...the local politicians simply started using it....

and it worked!

Unless people start using it, it won't happen!

I think it will eventually catch on once people really see that Legazpi and Daraga is already a growing metropolis.

And in the future, maybe along with some towns from Sorsogon too :cheers:

In Aug. 2007, a new Doppler radar was offered by JICA as post-Reming assistance to Albay and was initially programmed to be installed in Puro. But, after Apsemo and Pagasa recommendation, this was moved to Catanduanes since it would give Albay and mainland Bicol provinces two (2) more hours of warning. The new Doppler radar in Catanduanes is expected to be inaugurated on May 7, 2012.


^^ This is good. Even though dai sa Albay itutugdok, at least duwang probinsya ang makakabebenefit. Albay and Catanduanes :cheers1:

Between 2013 and 15 at least four to five Savemore Market will rise, Camarines Norte included. A bigger SM Supercenter will rise in another major city in Bicol and apparently between 2013 and 2014.

The property according to them has already been acquired.

Some provincial officials are apparently negotiating to upgrade the facility into a full SM City Mall and they're studying the possibility.

If the Supercenter would be upgraded to a full mall- we would see an expansion of SM City Naga.

Their target is to have at least a Savemore Market in each major town and cities in the Bicol Region by 2020.

This is what im talking about....... this will be Legaspi for sure

^^ That's great news. Thanks for posting that here aries6210. :)

I think what the forumers here need to do now is to find which lot they had acquired. :lol: :lol: :lol:

This is good news if it is indeed Legazpi is what is being referred to here. But until there is a press release by SM itself or a physical evidence (construction site, soon to rise signage) then this will remain as rumors. 2013 is just around the corner, that's just one Christmas away. Wait na lang tayo.

Really? No one has mentioned that yet here.

Actually I've mentioned this way back in December pa but there's still no confirmation as to the target date and the acquired lot. Everything is still in negotation so I didn't elaborate more, baka sala pa na info makua ko. :cheers:

You're right. Rumors like this go around all the time. Halatun ta na lang ang announcement :cheers:

Ahh.ok. I might have missed it.

Maybe some of our "paparazzi" fourumers can figure out where the acquired lot is (Kung sa Legazpi nga naman)

walang pang official announcement for that, so wag muna tayong umasa. hehe anyways marami na tayong mall dito sa Legazpi, with or without the presence of SM, dakul na kitang option. Kung pilion ninda ang Legazpi, ok and kung hindi who cares? hehe habo ko lang na magmukhang patay na patay ang mga taga Albay na magka SM digdi. Madirigdi man lang an because they're seeing the big potential of Legazpi as a premier business haven.

tama ka pading kaniguan.wara pa man bagang press release:lol:

garu mas excited pa su mga taga ibang lugar na magkaigwang SM ang Legazpi:lol:

Nagiulok ako sa post na negotiating into a full SM City na mall daa.Bku pa man confirmed pero downgraded na tulos ta supercenter sana daa lol

Halataun man ang intent kan post:lol:

Guys kung mapagawi kamong Embarcadero check nindo sa may Go Kart kung igwa na man nanggad na construction duman.

Yes, more towns in Albay should become first class; not development focused in one city surrounded by fourth and fifth class municipalities and yet has the temerity to call itself metro. Look at Ligao; barely a decade old, but almost all towns around it are first class: Polangui, Libon, Oas, and Guinobatan. Pio Duran, Jovellar, or Manito should at least achieve second class status, then Albay will be closer to or even join the top ten provinces. Rapu-Rapu could even leap-frog Daraga, the richest town in Bicol, if only the gold mine were to pay its taxes there, not in Makati or elsewhere.

So enough malls for now. We don't want Albayanos as glorified para-alsada. Our politicians and LGUs should push sustainable industrialization and eco-tourism, not consumer-led growth. And we can achieve industrialization if Albay were to control the geothermal fields (I hope to hear about Cayabon resuming construction) and get bigger share in our metallic/mineral wealth.

Welcome ang SM. Kung dai matugdok, eh di dai. Kung iyo, eh di ok. Bako man iyan loss kang Legazpi and Albay kung dai magtugdok ang SM.

Ang Mall, one sign of the many signs of progress man lang iyan. Dai porket may dakulang mall ang sarong lugar, eh progresibo na. Dakul pang factors na dapat i-consider. :cheers:

Stop na muna kang SM na iyan. Maabot man lang iyan digdi sa Legazpi, whether we like it or not because Legazpi is obvoiusly a booming city and will surely become an economic powerhouse city in the future. :cheers:

Ini ang dapat tawan ta ki pansin. Legazpi Saving Bank is doing very well. It's nice to know that this bank is still managing to do well despite of the entry of many other banks in Bicol. And makaproud man na dara niya ang pangaran kang Legazpi :banana::banana::banana:
