both income and population
maybe you wont believe, kasi ang tinitignan lang naman ng karamihan eh yung mga national malls & tall buildings or national companies. oo wala yan halos sa ZC, pero may sariling mga negosyo dito na siyang bumubuhay sa city namin at nagpapalaki ng economy, at dahil sa malaking economy madaming tao ang lumilipat sa city namin kaya naman lumalaki ng halos 3.54% ang population ng city kada taon.

maganda...cebu can really become like metro manila kase they have very large population, imagine, ang dami manufacturing companies na andyan(may semicon din di ba?), it only means talagang masisipag ang mga cebuanos, pero I think they still really need to work extra boubly hard kase even if all entire income of cities and municipalites were combined, it is still not enough to match the income of Makati or Quezon City alone...which is quite unfair...pero syimpre that is because 30 million people from metro manila are all working there, imaginin mo na lang yung 30M na yun araw-araw nag-cocommute pamuntang quezon city at makati....tapos subrang liit ng LRT at MRT, at kahit anong dami ng bus...kulang pa rin eh

mas maganda siguro if our Govt setpu will like a Federal Govt para makita talaga how each province, cities will be able to take control on how they will manage their respective area of responsibility...that way, local govts can have access to external funds para magamit sa pag-stimulate ng local economy and attracting foreign investments, tapos we will just leave metro manila take all the burden in paying its own debts which is about $75B, tutal, sila lang naman nakinabang duon wala namang naging developments sa mga provinces, maliban sa 2-lane national road, a bridge, yun lang, nasa metro manila lahat ng subrang lalaki ng infrastructures

nope, not mirror. in getting the per capita, you need to divide the income by the population.. :) take China and US as an example. China's GDP may be at par with US's but their per capita, a different story.
alam ko
ang ibig kong sabihin na mirror ay yung parang same lang ba GDP yung income..

That's Pryce Business Park. They had another tall building in the pipeline before, pero it's been put on hold indefinitely and will probably not see the light of day. I think they don't build tall projects no more and have focused on residential communities and memorial parks

But the area is nothing to laugh about. It happens to be located a few meters away from GMALL and ABREEZA and infront of V PLAZA and is also in close proximity to F Torres street which is home to alot of bars, clubs and restaurants. The whole Bajada area is the area to watch in Davao in the coming years

its too small to even dream about it being a business park in the league of the fort..even if you fill all lots with high rises, it wont even be in the same league as say Cebu Business Park or AITP..Pryce Business Park is less than 2 hectares so go figure. Furthermore, Pryce, from what I know, has left the real estate business. There is 1 proposal that we can look forward to though.Para naman madagdagan ng 1 ang 2 talls na yan..

I can only compare to SG, BKK and KL pero masasabi ko na yung mga bright spots ng Metro Manila like Fort Bonifacio, Makati, Ortigas, Forbes Park, Ayala Alabang etc could give the cities I mentioned serious competition kung pagandahan lang ang usapan...but then napaka lala ng "bad spots" na na overshadow nito ang kagandahan at kaunlaran ng Metro Manila :( Sad thing is, even if I try to be optimistic, parang di ko ma imagine paanong lilinisin ang Metro Manila esp with how we Filipinos think minsan na masyadong emotional..

Sabi nga ni LKY

“The difference lies in the culture of the Filipino people. It is a soft, forgiving culture. Only in the Philippines could a leader like Ferdinand Marcos, who pillaged his country for over 20 years, still be considered for a national burial. Insignificant amounts of the loot have been recovered, yet his wife and children were allowed to return and engage in politics. ”

^^LKY is just being diplomatic when he said "soft and forgiving". It's more on being "gullible and don't care" attitude.

It's the middle class that is carrying most of the burdens, IMHO...The winners are the parasitic lower class, corrupt officials and unfair elites.

Our system does not really care the middle class. While we honestly pay our taxes, our government is busy protecting the squatters and the sidewalk vendors and our businessmen/elites are occupied on how to evade from taxes.

Bai @Sleep as much as I think that sometimes the government cuddles our urban poor too much, I don't think the urban poor could ever be classified as winners in this scenario. It's the elite actually who continues to run this country, and who continues to manipulate the poor and milk them for votes to keep them in power. They, too are victims.

BUT this is OT haha.

those are trees and greeneries, those are still instrumental in filtering pollution and lessening greenhouse effect that M.Manila badly needs (although the amount and source of water needed in maintaining such golf courses may be in question)

i kinda agree. it gives the impression that MM is ALL clean and green. yes, it would have been better if the greens were located in public areas not just confined in an exclusive golf course.

nevertheless, it's a good picture to surprise foreigners who think lowly of our country.

it would be silly to impress oneself that a large metropolitan city as M.Manila is ALL :lol: clean and green and jaded travellers would know any better, nevertheless it is refreshing to see that there is still a place in the country's capital city that looked like that and it's worth appreciating rather than citing unnecessary dribbles not to :ohno: as obviously not many major cities in the country could really hold to be clean and green and that's what this country needs so as not to be thought lowly of the country by foreigners just as you said, except for certain places with residents that did try to keep their cities as such.

well for me it's an effortless appreciation coz it's a private golf course, not even our government is maintaining it. I haven't seen a dirty golf course yet. I must reserve my appreciation seeing a public place owned by the government with that kind of cleanliness which we can really do appreciate the efforts of our Government and our people in preserving the place:yes:

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3626/3589693032_87235aa905_o.jpg

Tantya ko, kung sprawl ang pag uusapan then Raffles plus marina bay = Makati..Although sa tingin ko, kung overall number of high rise buildings ang pag-uusapan mas marami pa rin sa Singapore compared sa Metro Manila since kahit sa labas ng financial district eh marami pa rin high rise buildings sa SG..

take these pics as example,outside the CBD ang mga ito

Sa pagkakaalam ko, gubyerno may ari ng halos lahat ng lupa, then usually yang mga open lots eh mga "unreleased lots" ng government although naka plan na kung ano ang gusto nilang ipatayo doon..when the time comes na pwede nang patayuan, ibebenta ng government for bidding ang lupa with limitations kung ano ang pwede ipatayo doon and ano ang GFA ng building na ipapatayo

mas denser ang Metro Manila as a whole kumpara sa Singapore, although Singapore is cleaner, parang giant na version ng Camp John Hay. Everywhere you go inside Singapore is a work of art. In terms of development, Metro Manila can catch up with Singapore in 250 years.

LOL, 250 years is a bit of a stretch don't you think. :bash: If expert financial analysts from Citigroup are correct with this report (http://www.usnewslasvegas.com/business/philippines-named-among-most-promising-countries/), we could see exponential growth for the country in the future, and that means tangible and visible development particularly in the capital.

Sa akin, skyline is not just about density and I look at other things too be it an iconic tower, the setting or yung mismong form ng skyline. An example would be that I like Shanghai's and Sydney's skyline better than the more dense skylines of HK, BKK and Tokyo

For me, I don't see something wrong with it. Kasi undeniable naman yan. However, like beauty pageants, nag-iiba iba din yan...at yan yung kanyang opinyon.

So why label someone "crab" if he/she only states his/her opinion about what he/she thinks is the best for him/her? So does that mean when I say, Iloilo's has the best option FOR ME, will that consider me a crab too? Opinion naman nya yun eh, and you can just simply agree to disagree if you don't like the statement...rather than labeling him/her such.

And as what skyion pointed out, ang mali nga nya ay ang plural form sa statement nya na skyline(s).

now you read how does he/she qualifies it.. at least we are not wrong on how do we read his statement between the lines..:)

so @ Fraulien.. can u answer the question.... based on your statement below;
Eh, Makati naman talaga ang masasabi mo dito sa thread na ito, wala ng iba...

Perhaps di ko makita anong mali kasi wala naman talaga. And when you talk about Philippine skylines eh Makati ang best representative natin to the world.Unless of course to the reader his posts seem to be raining on one's parade eh talagang nakakaasar talaga :yes:

i apologize for posting here in this makati skyline thread. yup, dun na lng ako sa thread namin. bye :lol:

Alam mo, kapag kayo ang nagpopost ng mga lugar ninyo especially the skylines of your city, did you see any reactions from us? Na sinasabi namin na hindi maganda ang mga lugar at kulang ang mga building, towers, etc.?

Wala kaming sinasabi doon. I know some of you even posted pictures all over on this thread na halos redundant na ang iba, pero may sinasabi kaming negative about it?

Yan ang hirap kasi sa atin. If we are to post something which is true naman at may basis, tapos may reaction, ibig sabihin lang nun, insecure? Ako, hindi ko maisip na ganon. Ang alam ko lang na nagsasabi lang ako kung ano yung nakikita ko at may basis kung bakit ko nasabi yun.

We agree na walang makapag challenge sa Makati being the nations primary skyline.. Pero ang sabihin mo na Makati lang ang may karapatan sa skyline.. eh di bakit bakit hindi nalang natin palitan ang thread na ito.. so we can discuss only about Makati.. para masaya ka na.:cheers:

We know that this country is still very sick coz most of us are just thinking of themselves. I am more concerened of those kinds of attitude... How can we compete with our neighboring countries if we in our country is competing with each other kung sino ang pinaka at wala nang iba. How about Iloilo, Bacolod, Zamboanga etc... aren't they considered here?

We did not react sa mga pictures ng Makati, we just debated that for me Makati is better than Singapore interms of skyline. For me naman kahit saang angles, talo ang Singapore.

Parang gusto yun sir na may iconic tower sa Makati. Para may distinct identity di ba... Pero i think, may mga iba pang soon to rise buildings na above 20 floors and I hope mas marami pang magsusulputan not only in Makati rin but in Ortigas Center and soon to expand, Bonifacio Global City...:)

IMO what makes a city skyline more admirable is when it harmonizes with its environs such as cleaner surroundings, pedestrian-friendly walkways, refreshing greeneries to balance the concrete jungle, and its people having the civility to match with it

kesa nagtataasan nga ang mga gusali andumi naman ng mga paligid, seeming more of concrete jungles and less of green parks, the environment chaotic with crime lurking around, and people lacking in civility

IMO taller, larger, more buildings does not always make a skyline great, but other more valuable factors as well that makes it a place worthwile for a human being to live and work with :okay: :naughty:

3. To add insult to injury, some even converse with a regional language which causes alienation. (Perhaps to make sure the opposing party does not understand?)

so i thought about this in order to satisfy one soul:

Agree.. but not in East and Southeast Asia, maybe the most peaceful major city in the country. :okay:

actually, the locals are as surprised as you. with the awards and recognitions the city had received those are not mere hearsay, hype or some paid vanity awards. those are facts. here's proof, even officially acknowledged by the LGU website:

Most Peaceful City in East and Southeast Asia, 1998-2005
One of the biggest come-ons of an area is an ideal peace and order condition. The dramatic decrease of crime rate in Davao City is big deal considering that it used to have a very unstable peace and order during the Marcos’ regime that ended in a bloodless revolution in February 1986.

Since then, peace and order has never been more ideal. In fact, it improves year after year thanks to a people who will not let peace slip away like a prized possession.

From a 3-digit crime rate per 10,000 people in 1985, Davao has reached an almost Utopian environment with a monthly crime volume of 0.8 cases per 10,000 persons from 1999 up to 2005. Digging through the records, it would reveal that about 90% of these cases reported are petty crimes that do not in any way threaten the over-all peace and order condition of the city.

I remembered many years before during the Asiaweek survey according to official statistics Davao already ranked 2nd to a Pakistani city (I think Islamabad) in all of Asia. years later, even despite those sabotage against the city's peaceful co-existence (the culprits weren't even locals and you'd be surprised where others came from), more interestingly with its very diverse populace, the city continually improved its peace and order situation such that it now has the state-of-the-art Central 911, the 3rd in the world to implement such system next to USA and Canada, but the better part is compared to the two, Davao's service is mostly free! even when I go out to other major cities in the country, I could only sense the good feeling of safety in Davao incomparable. I could use my cellphone on a street or carry laptop with less apprehension. Unlike in other cities where your patience is conitnually tested by shrewd taxi drivers, in davao the drivers seem more disciplined and honest, and if there's some bad egg (by my observation they're mostly from other places) anyone could easily report them to 911. Although of course not everything is perfect, but better still, experience it yourself and see the difference :okay:

provincial skyline...is the proper description, very rural and rustic:banana:

if the harmony of urbanity and greenery makes a city look "provincial," then so be it :okay:

although there are factors involved that you should comprehend more. Davao's fertile soil is soft, so if one invests in highrises addressing it wiill be a major factor in cost that's why for the moment investing in sprawling development would be more practical. and Davao's development is indeed sprawling. its suburbs from Toril to Panacan could reach more than 35kms already, not to mention Calinan to the northwest that's more than 20 kms more, and it's continually growing. but as the downtown area is becoming dense then there would be a practical need to expand vertically, and the city is gettiing to be in that stage, especially soon in that portion sandwiched between large developments of Ayala & SM malls, Northpoint condos, Robinson's, on the north side, as Davao's urban planning gears towards metropilitan expansion northward to Panabo-Tagum cities area and when that happens Metro Davao's suburb expansion could even add up about 60 kms+ in Panabo area alone.

small tiny nitwit skylines...trying hard, social climber, hahaha:banana:

you misunderstood, unlike what you notice in other places the sentiment of locals here is not that of insecurity :lol:, I very much assure you the sentiment of locals is for Davao to be uniquely Davao rather than to strive to be like Manila or Cebu :naughty: (but good for the developments of both cities, hopefully it's balanced though) with its shortcomings included but for Davao to follow its path uniquely, esp. its continued harmony with Nature that Davao luckily abounds with its nurturing and beauty, hence Davao's unique achievements. As the locals and present lady mayor said it's for "Dabawization" LOL :okay:
