Hopefully the towns connecting CDeO to Iligan will progress rapidly too so that we'll really have a well developed CIC. Anyway, El Salvador has already been named a city so that means we already have 1 city in between CDeO & Iligan:banana:

I love those photoshops that show a possible future skyline where it doesn't exist, like the one of the bridge in Cebu. That would be beautiful.

Those photoshops where we add floors to existing buildings, not so much. It's like we're lacking in something. :P

well then, just imagine that the original buildings didn't exist in the first place and you'll still get the same effect, the "lack of something". if we add floors, we're lacking of floors, if we add the whole building to a blank space, we're lacking of the whole building.

METROPOLITAN BACOLOD

These people have a creative ideas on what will be the future of
our city looks like, fifty years from 2006 to 2056.
They were very visionary, for example the reclamation area
will be called as the Masskara City. At the edge of the city
at BREDCO there will be a Mask shaped human made island,
very cool idea.

At the other cities like Talisay, the place is already highly urbanized.
Same with other Cities and Municipalities of Negros Occidental.
These Architects and soon to be Architects have in common
"Positive and Bright Future".

Visit their exhibit at Gaisano City Supermall @
Araneta Street, Bacolod City.

Here is the example on how to prepare the mega-metro in the future.

The Metro Iloilo-Guimaras Economic Development Council (MIGEDC) is a work alliance of the City of Iloilo, the Municipalities of Oton, San Miguel, Pavia, Leganes, Sta. Barbara, and the Province of Guimaras. It was formally established by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo through Executive Order No. 559 signed on August 28, 2006 and was designed to help address the area’s emerging problems brought about by rapid urbanization and the spatial development challenges of tourism and economic development.

The MIGEDC evolved from the Metro Iloilo Development Council (MIDC) that was earlier established by the City of Iloilo and four neighboring municipalities on February 9, 2001 and the Guimaras-Iloilo City Alliance that was similarly established in May 22, 2005. Through Executive Order No. 559 the Municipality of Sta. Barbara became an addition together with the Province of Guimaras

As a strengthened task group, the MIGEDC formulates, implements, coordinates and monitors programs, projects and activities that support the Mega-Region Economic Development Strategic Framework of the National Government.

The MIGEDC is composed of the following:

Mayor, Iloilo City as Chairperson
Provincial Governor, Province of Guimaras as Co-Chairperson
Mayor, Municipality of Pavia, Iloilo
Mayor, Municipality of San Miguel, Iloilo
Mayor, Municipality of Oton, Iloilo
Mayor, Municipality of Leganes, Iloilo
Mayor, Municipality of Sta. Barbara, Iloilo
President, League of Municipalities, Province of Guimaras

The MIGEDC’s spatial development is based on assumed functional roles where: Guimaras Province assumes the role of agri-eco-tourism center; Pavia as the agro*-i ndustrial center, Leganes as the center for light industries, San Miguel as the agricultural basket, Oton as the dormitory and Sta. Barbara as the international air travel gateway.

Iloilo City will remain as the residential, financial, commercial, governance and educational hub not only for Guimaras Island and the five “satellite” municipalities but also for the entire Region VI.

More about the MIGEDC, click here : http://www.migedc.org.ph/about_us.html

^^Hopefully this Metro-body will be functional and not only skin deep...Though it really bothers me that the "oil-spill" in Guimaras was the only reason why GMA formed the MIGEDC...

Today and tomorrow

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today, Pasay and Makati are embroiled in political contests with Malacañang and its partisans.

Pasay is an international gateway that wishes to become a "scenic premiere city thriving with businesses and economic opportunities, guided by dynamic and efficient local leadership, and home to self-reliant, healthy and morally upright people" between 2000 and 2010. [Executive Summary, Comprehensive Land Use Plan of Pasay City]

The "Happy City" of Makati is supposed to lead the Philippines into the 21st century, according to the local government’s official vision statement. How can these dreams come true when political partisanship and booty capitalism take precedence in national and local affairs?

Moreover, the deadweight of the past bears down on the present. The main problem of old cities is that the built-up areas are blighted, with net in-migration and overloaded infrastructure. While high-rise buildings herald the prosperous future, our version of skyscrapers stand on small lots that are accessed through narrow roads choked with poorly managed vehicular traffic.

Uncontrolled high-density real-estate developments plus unsynchronized infrastructure plus a geometrically progressing human population. Extrapolate and the future is?

Judge Dredd’s MegaCity One (2000 AD comic book series), where overpopulation has forced urbanites to live in mo-pads (mobile homes).

Global warming plus demoralized farmers plus indiscriminate importation equals?

New York of 2022 ("Soylent Green" 1973), a city and world that is running out of food and freshwater, prompting government-sponsored euthanasia and the manufacture of a special nutrient.

What a future.

How about Metro Manila? It is already a Top 20 megalopolis of the world. A world where three billion people already live and work in cities. That is nearly half of all the humans in this solar system.

In nine years, there will be 26 mega cities with populations in excess of ten million. No wonder then that the immediate past United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan had announced that Earth is into the "urban millennium." Today, more than half of the Philippines is urban. In 19 years, 70 percent of Filipinos are projected to be urbanites. It will be 80 percent by 2050.

That will amount to 127 million Filipinos living, struggling, loving and quarreling in more than 100 Philippine cities.

Metro Manila will be joined by Metro Laoag, Metro Santiago, Metro Angeles, Metro Lucena, and Metro Naga.

But the emerging metropolitan areas are certainly not confined to Luzon. In Mindanao, Metro Davao will be in the company of Metro Butuan, Metro General Santos, Metro Dipolog, and Metro Zamboanga. Metro Iloilo and Metro Cebu will stand with Metro Bacolod and Metro Dumaguete.

The data comes from the League of Cities of the Philippines that also identified Metro Vigan, Metro Angeles, Metro Cabanatuan, Metro San Jose and Metro Central Bulacan as the fastest growing metro areas.

In terms of population growth, the top five are Metro East Bulacan, Metro Rizal, Cavite Central, Laguna West Metro and Metro West Bulacan.

For income growth: Laguna West Metro, Metro Dumaguete, Malay-balay-Valencia Growth Area, Metro Davao and Metro Cabanatuan.

Investors ought to keep a sharp eye on Laguna West Metro, which consists of San Pedro, Bñan, Santa Rosa City, Cabuyao and Calamba, all found in Laguna Province plus Silang in Cavite.

There are development opportunities in Philippine cities. Muntinlupa, for instance, is this year’s "Most Business-Friendly City" in Metro Manila, according to the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

These opportunities are accompanied by the fact that there is a large informal sector, some five million in Metro Manila alone. [The Challenge of Slums: Global Report on Human Settlements 2003]

Poverty per se is not the killer. Nor terrorists who might escalate with biowarfare or chemical weapons.

The real danger lies in the presence of nihilistic nomads who detest urbanity and lumpen parasites who wolf down scarce resources. It is these cancerous elements who have irreparably damaged cities in world history. [Joel Kotkin, "City of the future," Washington Post, July 22, 2005]

The Terran City of the 21st century is supposed to be a "giant plastic, metal and unbreakable glass city" and a city of "science, of atomic power, of space travel, and of high culture."

As imagined by the "Amazing Stories" 1939 issue on "City Of The Future."

Are we there yet?

Di ba AIM also categorized Davao City a metropolitan city. :)

Metropolis - a largely urban settlement with a population of at least a million and usually extending beyond political jurisdictions.

"Metro Davao as defined as the whole area of Davao City is the definitional model that meets such criteria." "Davao City has graduated from being a city and has become a full-fledge metropolis in 1995. Thus, Davao City can already be classified as a metropolitan city."

same man sad dito sa Cebu @way, I haven't heard a Cebuano call Cebu as Metro Cebu. Like me, I'm living in a barangay near the boundary of Cebu City and Talisay City pero kung pupunta ako sa Cebu City proper, sasabihin kong "mo adto ko sa ciudad", same as Mandaue, Talisay or Opon(Lapu Lapu City). Then if SSC Cebu will meet and talks about Cebu, we seldom use Metro Cebu but instead CEBU. It is because we are not used by the word METRO in our respective provinces (Cebu and Davao). Noong hindi pa pinapanganak ang ibang taga SSC, Metro Manila na ang tawag sa Manila pero ang Cebu ay Cebu City pa lang at Davao ay Davao City pa lang. And one thing, Metro Manila already owns the METRO word kaya parang hindi tayo comportable na Metro din ang itatawag sa ating mga ciudad kahit valid na tayong tawaging Metro. Aw, valid na ba?:D.

Noong hindi pa pinapanganak ang ibang taga SSC, Metro Manila na ang tawag sa Manila pero ang Cebu ay Cebu City pa lang at Davao ay Davao City pa lang. And one thing, Metro Manila already owns the METRO word kaya parang hindi tayo comportable na Metro din ang itatawag sa ating mga ciudad kahit valid na tayong tawaging Metro. Aw, valid na ba?:D.

When Metro Manila finally integrates some parts of Bulacan, Riza, Antipolo and Cavite it will be known as "Mega" Manila. Then Metro Cebu, Metro Iloilo, Metro Cagayan de Oro & Metro Davao may finally be terms of reference pertaining to their urban agglomerations:)

the term "Mega Manila" is already in use although it isnt official yet (or is it?) same as Metro Cebu and Metro Davao (the latter due to its population size) its just that slemarken (kung kinsa man sa tulo ang nagsulat) and i dont feel comfortable using the term "metro" for our cities..i find it funny how some here push the "metro" title for their (or other) cities as if itd make a difference lol

My point is that the Term "Mega Manila" will be official by then so as there will be legitimate & functioning bodies for agglomerations such as Metro Cebu, Metro Iloilo, Metro CDO, & Metro Davao. They will be structured after the MMDA of today.

^^Well, in "My Opinion" the term "Metro" is important to organize an agglomeration especially if it already has a huge population. Kaya din binuo ang Metro Manila in the first place ay di para maging "Trendy" ang word metro kundi para magkaroon ng distinguishing remark sa pagitan nito at ang Manila City at para bumuo ng integrated system para sa area. Sa ganun mas madaling pamahalaan.

Alam mo its "NO PROBLEM" kung ayaw mo tawaging Metro ang Davao. Kung ayaw mo wag mo-ganun kasimple.

At saka THIS THREAD: RP MEGA-METROS caters to people who see Metropolitan Agglomerations as a key tool for dev't especially for Metropolises if you don't want your city to be considered metro okay lang I won't refer to Davao sa Metro.

^^Sa bagay may-tama ka :lol: Medyo nga awkward kung maraming syudad ang tatawaging Metro. Kahit nga sa amin kung sinabing Makati, impresyon ng iba "sa Maynila" - di nila binabangit ang Metro. Dipende rin kasi yun sa mga kausap mo...kung mga masa ito mas maganda nga na first name basis ang gamitin at kung sabihin natin seminar tungkol sa iba't ibang proyekto ng gobyerno pwede nating gamitin ang "Metro".

Actually, yung term "Metro/Mega" ginagamit lang yan sa mga seminar, meetings at iba pang formal gatherings ng gov't officials o business community para mas organized yung description sa mga magkakalapit na pook, pero di ito karaniwan sa mga ordinaryong mamamayan :)

It depends naman. Basta here in Cebu or Metro Cebu (includes Mandaue, Cebu, Lapu Lapu, Talisay and Danao Cities and the adjacent urban municipalities), ok lang sa mga taga Cebu if we call it simply Cebu City or Mandaue City etc. to classify the city and its boundaries but with regards to our situation here now that the Mayor of Mandaue City and Cebu City are having disputes and so with Cebu City vs Talisay City and Mandaue City vs Lapu Lapu City with regards to its boundaries,
-to where investors should put up their investments whether in Mandaue City in Lapu Lapu City or in Cebu City,
-about our new mass transport system (the KMK Metro Bus) that plies from the municipality of Minglanilla upto Lapu Lapu City but the Mayor of Mandaue won't permit the said mass transport system to enter their city coz they also have a plan for their own mass transport system that is why the route of the said mass transport system that should cater for passengers from LapuLapu down to Minglanilla was cut upto Cebu City only:bash:,
-the mandaue bound jeepneys isn't permitted by Mayor Tom to enter Cebu City to ease the traffic situation,
-SRP land dispute of Cebu City and Talisay City,
-jeepneys from southern cities and municipalities of Cebu City are prohibited to enter Cebu City's core to ease traffic congestion in Cebu City...
-Mandaue Mactan bridges traffic situation, of which city (Mandaue or Lapu Lapu) should consider traffic re routings to ease the worsening trafficcondition of the two bridges.

AND MANY MORE PROBLEMS. I dunno how they will solve these disputes among our cities here in Cebu. We should need a governing body now for Metro Cebu area siguro like that of MMDA for these situations to be solved urgent;)

A Metro Baguio is something I strongly am against. It will ostracize and minoritize the Igorots in their own homeland.

It's not that I don't want other town in Benguet to be economically developed. I just don't t want other town to suffer the same fate as Baguio. Baguio is now too overpopulated. The city was built for a maximum of 25,000 people only. Now Baguio has nearly 400,000 heads, 3/4 of which are lowlanders, mostly Ilocanos and tagalogs. Only 3-5% are said to be Ibaloi, the original inhabitants of the city.

In Baguio alone, many Ibalois have been deprived of their own land. My Igorot family is a victim of it. My lolo won CJH in the US Supreme Court many decades ago and look who's managing it? Thee Philippine government which they rented to a ass-kissing capitalist who don't give a damn f-cking care about the Igorots, not even to the Ibaloi heritage of Baguio.

I don't want these to happen to the Igorots of the other towns. I know many are tempted to settle in our area because of the climate. But a Metro Baguio is plain wrong.

Metro Baguio = more immigrants from the lowland
More immigrants = real estates will come
Real Estates = Loss of ancestral lands of the Igorots
Loss of ancestral lands = threat to the survival of the Igorots

That's like saying that the Philippines cannot be stopped from going down.

This can happen with the participation of the lowland provinces and municiplaties.

Baguio is said to be the educational center of the North...and most students from the lowlands come up here.

Maybe the lowland poliicians should start erecting their colleges and universities and trying to enhance their economic potentials.

Hey, La Trinidad is now a first class municipality. It FORTUNATELY(if you ask me) cannot be a city because of its low population. LT managed to pull up its self alone..so why not these lowland places?

IMO, only Metro Manila and Metro Cebu fit the definition of a metropolitan. That is if we stick to the definitions provided by webster or any online dictionaries.

In Davao's case, it is not the local government nor the Dabawenyos which keep on pushing the word "Metropolitan" to be added in our city name. But several institutions such as the Asian Institution of Management (which, by the way, recently ranked Davao as the Most Competitive Metro City), the Philippine Institute for Development Studies, and even the national tv networks such as GMA or ABS - CBN (im still wondering why even on their weather reports, they keep on saying "at sa mga taga Metro Davao").

And based on PIDS's report"

"Associated with the country’s drive to become more modern and competitive global economy is the emergence of metropolises, which is defined in theory as large urban settlement having at least one million population. Given such definitions, the only metropolises that would qualify are Metro Manila, Metro Cebu and Metro Davao. There are, however, other metropolises that do not qualify to the theoretical standards but behave functionally as such and are henceforth classified as metropolitan arrangement. Its emergence, whether fleeting or a prelude to the future trend, is the main concern of this paper. The paper also examines whether there are significant benefits to this form of geopolitical cooperation and how this can be strengthened and enhanced as an alternative mechanism for efficient delivery of urban service." Source (http://publication.pids.gov.ph/details.phtml?pid=242)

Duh! what can we get from adding the word "metro"? As long as the local government provides the needs of its constituents and the city is moving forward economically....choks na yun! :scouserd:

And with the fast economic developments in Metro Manila, Metro Cebu, and Davao < i guess their respective economic stats and figures say it all.

Tama ka dyan tj_brewed even if the word metro is not entailed in the name of our city still the international community recognizes our city as one of urban cities of the Philippines. So why do go for Metro Davao if we can attract tourist and investors just by the name Davao City.^^ :banana:

I stand with you @SERA for claiming Region 10 the trade and industrial center of Mindanao together with the RDC 10. Although it's too early to be named as such title because just only 3 years past after the vision emancipated. But that's not important thing, even we're young but the reality is beyond expected.

Let us stand with this progress, look little to the glory but focus on the weaknesses that we encountered in the past. We should focus on the developments in every corner of our region from Damulog, Bukidnon in the South to White Island, Camiguin in the North and from Magsaysay, Misamis Oriental in the East to Sapang Dalaga, misamis Occidental in the west.

Even region 10 became small after the Agusan del Norte Agusan del Sur, Surigao del Norte and cities of Surigao and Butuan broke with us and formed their region what is known CARAGA but we are thankful because the huge part that took away was replaced by the powerful Iligan city and lanao del Norte. With this rezoning, the developments grew faster since Iligan city only an hour from Cagayan de Oro. Iligan city boost as the center geographically between Misamis Oriental and Misamis Occidental and now gearing up to the new developments.

Pero sa Cebu's case naman, napag usapan kahapon sa isang radio station dito sa Cebu that the eastern part of Cebu ngayon ay fastly becoming urbanized, about a hundred kilometer stretch from north to south specially that Carcar town that is part of "Metro Cebu" is now waiting for its declaration for cityhood, another city within Metro Cebu. The word METRO pala in Cebu's case is important coz it identifies the boundary of Cebu's urban cities and municipalities. There is a special budget pala for urban municipalities and cities that is part of "METRO CEBU". They said that urban places should be given FIRST the services for it's people than those less populated municipalities that is not part of METRO CEBU. So METRO in Cebu's case is an identification of which urban municipalities and Cities should be proiritized first. So METRO pala in Cebu's case is very significant with regards to the sevices, fundings, projects etc. of the government that should be distributed in different areas in Cebu province and METRO CEBU area.

So METRO in Cebu is not pasosyal thing, It's a need here para walang gulo ang mangyayari kagaya nalang sa situation ng malalaking ciudad ng Cebu like Mandaue, Cebu at Lapu Lapu na diniklara lang noong isang araw na isa nang ganap na Highly Urbanized city. Sa ngayon, lumalaki na siguro ang ulo ng Mayor nga Lapu Lapu city dahil sa deklarasyon and I hope hindi magaya sa Mandaue City na kesho lumalago na ang ciudad nila dahil sa mga malalaking malls at establishments and itinatayo sa ngayon, di na gustong magpatalo sa Cebu City which is not the case naman, gi atay lang gyud nang Mayor sa Mandaue :bash:

If the proposed bridge linking Mactan-Olango-Bohol will push through, Metro Cebu may expand as far as Bohol Island within 30 years because of Bohol's improved economy attributed by its tourism potential. Five to Six-star hotels and resorts will sprout in Panglao in few years time after the completion of Panglao International Airport. Cebuanos then can go to Bohol beaches in minutes. :)

* it revealed that Cebu is the country’s top international convention destination with a total of 102 events in 2004. This is followed by Metro Manila with 73 events, Iloilo with 6 and Laguna with 5

* In the same year, Cebu has a total number of 4,339 national conventions. The figure is only second to Metro Manila with 6,658. Other destinations include Iloilo with 947 events, Pampanga with 525 and Zamboanga del Sur with 371.

So METRO in Cebu's case is an identification of which urban municipalities and Cities should be proiritized first. So METRO pala in Cebu's case is very significant with regards to the sevices, fundings, projects etc. of the government that should be distributed in different areas in Cebu province and METRO CEBU area.

So METRO in Cebu is not pasosyal thing, It's a need here para walang gulo ang mangyayari kagaya nalang sa situation ng malalaking ciudad ng Cebu like Mandaue, Cebu at Lapu Lapu na diniklara lang noong isang araw na isa nang ganap na Highly Urbanized city. Sa ngayon, lumalaki na siguro ang ulo ng Mayor nga Lapu Lapu city dahil sa deklarasyon and I hope hindi magaya sa Mandaue City na kesho lumalago na ang ciudad nila dahil sa mga malalaking malls at establishments and itinatayo sa ngayon, di na gustong magpatalo sa Cebu City which is not the case naman, gi atay lang gyud nang Mayor sa Mandaue :bash:

ok. applicable sa cebu ang metro. pero ang iba kahit puro 'kabugangan' gusto ng tawaging metro. ewwh!!! :lol:

Kahit saan tayo pupunta, may basura tayong makikita at mismo tayo rin ang bubuga.

sorry its not applicable here.:bash:

Why divide Davao though? :?

maybe because 20 years from now, it would be hard to manage davao because of its size (population is fast approching 2million)

in fact, those divisions kulas mentioned are feasible even today..you have to visit davao to see :) take panacan, toril and calinan are 20 kms away from the CBD (and they have their own CBDs) so in fact, a newcomer may mistake them for a separate city/municipality.

...the figures from Philippine Convention and Visitors Corp. (PCVC) has this to say, though, only the figures of year 2004 is out yet:

* it revealed that Cebu is the country’s top international convention destination with a total of 102 events in 2004. This is followed by Metro Manila with 73 events, Iloilo with 6 and Laguna with 5

* In the same year, Cebu has a total number of 4,339 national conventions. The figure is only second to Metro Manila with 6,658. Other destinations include Iloilo with 947 events, Pampanga with 525 and Zamboanga del Sur with 371.

Excuse me diehardbisdak the figures you are giving us are still for 2004 and we are ryt now in 2007, that was four years ago.:bash: So how can you say that Cebu is the Convention Center of the Philippines? Davao City is really the Convention Center of the Philippines based on the news and articles I have read. Ang lamang lang ninyo ay may "International Convention Center" kau.

Why pair CDO with Tagoloan? :lol: Tagoloan will only be part of the entire CDO + Iligan Megalopolis and that the CIC(Cagayan de Oro-Iligan Corridor) will become the premier economic bloc of Minadanao in the future simply because it has the Industrial City of the South-Iligan and the ICT hub of Mindanao-Cagayan de Oro. In the CIC area are the largest Infrastructure Projects in the whole South CDO Port & MICT are the largest Ports, The Phividec Industrial Estate is the Largest Industrial Park in the Philippines & the Laguindingan Int'l Airport will be the Largest in Land Area in the whole Mindanao :banana:

Being the only Industrial Corridor in the South, the Cagayan de Oro-Iligan Corridor will be the Next True Megalopolis in Mindanao and will have a population and economic impact that will be undeniable. CDO & Iligan is also part of Northern Mindanao (Mindanao's Biggest Economy) so we will see the twin cities as the premier economic capital of the whole Mindanao and will be the Gateway of Mindanao Island to the International community.

By the way to end the Thread it is evident that the 5 largest Metropolitan Agglomerations for Luzon, Visayas, & Mindanao in the coming years or decades.

Luzon:
Mega Manila - Ever since NCR has the largest GDRP in the Philippines & in the whole Luzon & is still expected to be the main Phil. economic hub especially with the integration of other outlying areas such as Cavite, Rizal, Batangas, Bulacan, Antipolo etc.

Mega Subic/Clark - this is the heart of Central Luzon and outside Manila is the fastest growing region in terms of investment today. Expect this mega area to be the leisure/investment center for Central & Northern Luzon.

Visayas:
Mega Cebu - Cebu is the heart of Central Visayas & is expected to be the main economic hub for the Visayas. Cebu will be the gateway of Int'l events for the whole South & remain its cultural capital.

Mindanao:
Mega CDO - being part of the only Industrial Corridor recognized by the Gov't in the Visayas/Mindanao Area the Cagayan de Oro is the epicenter of Northern Mindanao which is the Biggest Mindanao Economy for the last 3 years now. Today it has the Biggest Infrastructure projects anywhere in Mindanao. Its foreseen that Mega CDO will be the Economic Capital of Mindanao in the future.

Mega Davao - Davao will still remain the Tourism/Cultural capital of Mindanao. It will be the the largest ecological metropolis in the Philippines and retain its influence all over Mindanao.

imagine that Metro Manila and its surrounding towns and cities becomes a separate province and you are the governor, the national government gives you a multi-billion peso budget to redevelop the new province. what will you do?

for me i would do:

1. replace all public school buildings with new state-of-the art ones so learning will be more conduicive.

2. construct world-class hospitals for the masses.

3. all power and communication lines will be put underground.

4. all foot bridges will be demolish and replace with underground ones.

5. plant trees so it could be refreshing to walk and i could make Metro Manila walkable.

6. demolish all flyovers and underpasses and replace them with ones with high headrooms that could allow double decker buses to pass underneath them.

7. i would build more parks so it could be more refreshing for all the citizens.

8. construct beautifully designed tenements for the poor so Metro Manila will be slum free.

9. jeepneys and tricycles will be phase out, public light buses with state-of-the-art engines will replace jeepneys.

10. old buses will be replaced by new single and double decker buses.

11. elevated freeways will be constructed throughout the metro and its suburbs. they will be build on top of the existing radial and circumferential roads, including EDSA and C5. and these elevated freeways will range from 2 lanes to 4 lanes per direction, depending on the width of the road below them.

12. restore Avenida Rizal's former glory as the Broadway of Manila.

13. rebuild all existing MRT lines and make them mostly underground. also replace all rolling stock with state-of-the-art full metro trains.

14. replace the sewerage system with a state-of-the-art sewerage system.

15. restore Escolta's former glory as the "Nanjing Road" of Manila.

16. construct bus stops and depots.

17. construct the Hollywood of Manila in the reclamation area. It includes all TV and movie studios, FM and AM radio stations and one of the tallest observation and communication tower in the world.

18. introduce an octopus card-style RFID card for the public transportation, fast food restaurants and convenience stores.

19. push for the construction of Bagong Nayong Pilipino-Entertainment City Manila.

20. push for the development of Filinvest, Madrigal Business Park, Bonifacio Global City and Manila Bay Reclamation Area as financial districts.

21. install surveillance cameras in public places except comfort rooms (ofcourse hehe) to monitor crimes.

22. install a 911 style emergency system.

23. all main throughfares will be repaired and paved with first-class asphalt.

24. push for the redevelopment of CCP and renovate CCP main building.

25. renovate Manila Film Center to make it the venue of film festivals.

26. encourage real estate developers and hotel chains to construct more hotels.

27. make NAIA as the domestic airport, DMIA as the international airport with domestic connections.

1) Flush out the Pasig and connecting esteros, then place a strict moratorium on dumping wastes into any natural body of water;

2) Revamp the entire riverbanks of the Pasig to create a promenade as in the Seine;

3) Demolish the ugly LRT and vehicular viaducts over Plaza Lawton and Taft and Avenida;

4) Restore the original ornate facade of the National Museum on Padre Burgos;

5) Excavate the entire inner and outer moats of Intramuros; retrofit with water circulation and filtration system;

6) Floodlight the entire circumference of Intramuros walls;

7) Demolish existing post-war structures in Intramuros to reconstruct the following as of their condition in 1940:
a) Recoletos Church & Convento
b) San Francisco Church & Convento plus Capilla del Orden Tercera
c) Santo Domingo Church & Convento
d) Lourdes Church
e) San Juan de Dios Chapel and Hospital
f) exception to the 1940 rule: Ateneo de Manila and the bridge connecting the Augustinian Provincialate with San Agustin Monastery to their 1932 condition (prior to the great fire of that year)

8) Rebuild the Baluarte around the Aduana bldg. and recon the Almacenes / Sto. Domingo gates

9) Detonate the fugly "Palacio del Gobernador" into dust, then reconstruct the REAL Palacio Gobernador

10) Most of all, relocate all squatters into decent housing with running water and electricity (biggest pipe dream ever), and provide subsidized education for their kids as well as city maintenance and custodial jobs for the adults.

To redevelop is different from to replanned the whole metropolis. If I have to give opinion on this. To redevelop still creates inconsistency in the longrun, but if you replanned the whole proximity, that is totally different. No matter how we redeveloped the who metros in terms of technical advancement of utilities, still, the problem is still there, congestions since the concentration of urban dweller was in metro manila. If I have to followed, the first thing to do is the urban planning in terms of proper zoning and road networks. But this is a major change and it constraint time frame. I see just redeveloped it as what exist, but I am not satisfied no matter how good it was developed since the existing we can't do anything about it. Congestion and pollution is the main thing to remove first to see metro manila more pleasant to everyone.

May 15th, 2007, 01:07 PM

Another thing, to totally change the image of whole metros, if we can just make it to put the whole metros into the whole BGC on how it was totally conceptualize, this I will agree, the whole metros will become a model city in the world, but that is impossible.

1) I'd definitely ensure that MRT3 and LRT1 is linked physically at SM North, extend MRT3 to MOA and ensure that the southern extension includes Filinvest Corporate City and Madrigal business park

2) Demolish low rise structures and ensure its replaced by high rise commercial development at EDSA corner Aurora Blvd and Taft corner Recto to take advantage of the junction points of the LRT/MRT lines

3) Extend LRT2 to North Harbour and Antipolo with transit oriented development along its stations.

4) Repave the entire EDSA with smooth high grade asphalt and segregate its bus lanes with physical barriers

5) Prohibit surface parking lots in front of streets like Shaw Blvd and have alley ways at the back of the buildings instead of the front for parking

6) Enact an ordinance against unfinished construction sites and penalize landowners who abandon projects

1. Relocate all squatters into a low-priced, decent housing project that looks like commie blocks. Location is somewhere in Rizal.

2. Destroy all post-war, yes ALL post-war buildings and structures inside Intramuros including the poorly-copied Cathedral and RECREATE everything according to what the Walled City looked like just prior to the declaration that WWII is going on. Since San Agustin is the ONLY structure left intact after the war, it would only be "repolished".

3. ALL overhead cables in the entire metro shall be banned. All existing ones shall be placed underground, future ones shall be put underground too.

4. A very comprehensive Metro Rail transit system with 300+ stations scattered accross the metro consisting mostly of subways shall be constructed. LRT shall be dismantled. Bus and systems would be created. Jeepneys would be forced to become environmentally friendly. Padyaks, tricycles would be banned, only taxis are allowed and the previous ones mentioned.

5. Speaking of LRT's dismantling, this is to allow the redevelopment of Manila's fine districts and avenues that were destroyed by this ugly project, including Avenida Rizal.

6. Speaking of #5, ALL and I mean ALL of Manila's historical districts shall be renovated with MOST Areas faithfully rebuilt into what they looked before the War.

7. To regulate the architecture being applied to buildings built in the metro a "Council" on urban beauty will be assembled. Imagine what Baron Haussmann did to Paris, it would be done to Manila too.

8. Flooding would be a thing of the past in my redevelopment. Huge engineering feats would be done to accomplish this.

9. Strict laws on urban discipline shall be enforced upon the people of the Metro to protect its physical integrity.

10. The Las Vegas dream near the bay would come true, this time, it won't be named "PAGCOR Entertainment City" because that name is so jologs.

11. Roads shall be paved properly, lighting will be well-appointed, BASTA public infrastructure shall be improved and bahala na ang investors kung ano ang ibi-build nila sa city.

12. 200 Museums, art galleries, concert halls, and points of cultural interest shall be built around the metro to enrich the cultural life of the Metro citizens.

13. ALL schools, hospitals and edifices that serve the people like public buildings and government structures shall be renovated and retrofitted to look like "first world"

14. ALL Industrial Complexes and structures shall be relocated in the suburbs and they will all be remade to become environmentally friendly.

15. Politicians would not be allowed to post any campaign-related materials anywhere, VANDALISM, LOITERING, DISFIGUREMENT OF PUBLIC FACILITIES AND DEFACING OF ANYTHING INSIDE THE METRO SHALL BE PUNISHABLE BY PAINFUL PERSECUTION AND PENALTIES.

I think the best way to decongest Metro Manila is to build a new capital by moving Malacanang, then convert the palace into the National Museum. Once the seat of gov't has been relocated, say to Rizal, the Congress (Batasan), the Senate can be moved there as well. At the same time we get rid of gov't officials and their bodyguards causing traffic because of their counterflowing ways.

Then move out Camp Crame and Camp Aquinaldo. In their place create a new city complete with a Central Park ala New York.

Then all street children and kids of squatter families should be rounded up and "detained" inside English-Style Boarding Schools built inside the site of the New Bilibid Prison. (Bilibid should be moved to Ormos or Leyte or some Pinatubo ravaged area). There they will not be allowed to roam the streets or live with their alchoholic/drug addict parents.

And finally, all squatters should be moved to the house of Joey Lina, his parents, his siblings, his in-laws, his kids, his mistresses where he will have to pay each family 25 grand and find they a new "home" if he decides to evict them from his property.

What a wonderful world this could be.

Before most companies and bank located their offices to Makati, Binondo was Manila's main CBD. Today, it's still a prime CBD especially to the Chinese community but it no longer is as prime as Makati and next, Ortigas. If the place gets redevelop, can Binondo regain it's position as the main CBD for Metro Manila?

^^Amazing photo! Do you have a larger version?

To answer your question, I think no, it won't. People nowadays have become more selective on the places they want to go to, invest in and live so naturally they'd search for a place that's nice, clean, convenient, calm and edgy. Even if Binondo's streets are replenished, they're still narrow. Even if all the spaghetti wires are removed, all dirty things cleaned, you could still feel the congestion and urban nightmare around you. Historical district would be a better option but to turn Binondo into another Makati, you would have to destroy EVERYTHING! Remember, the French developed La Defense to become their CBD and not some "old" quarters inside the historical district.

And besides, with FBGC and a couple of other new, high-tech and well-built business districts sprouting all around the metro, Binondo would have countless, invincible rivals.

i actually like how binondo is right now., just a little cleaning and restoration of old buildings., :) i cant imagine traffic in the area if it became a CBD., its virtually imposible to create new roadways in binondo, since you would have to tear down historical sites. :)

True that Binondo is better off as a tourist/commericial/historic district than a CBD. Also true about the traffic since the area is far from main highways unlike Makati or Ortigas which are connected by EDSA or SLEX (Makati).

Another thing, Binondo is pretty close to Tondo which happens to be one of the worst neighbourhoods in Metro Manila. If you have your office at a high-rise building in Binondo, the view won't be that pleasing.

As of Paris. La Defense is not the city's main CBD. It's the Quartier Central des Affaires area.

Binondo will always be our family's main business district, until now, with those shopping malls that sells cheaper items, the old Binondo business communities still survive.
It is hard to imagine the amount of cash that is being transferred or traded daily all around in that area, I'm sure it is one of the largest amount of daily transaction. ( Most banks there are always busy )
Marami nang nagsarang stores on different art-deco buildings along Ilaya and Juan Luna, but most of them just moved to those trendy places and busier malls that sells almost everything from brand name knock-offs to steel brushes.
If you can not find things that you need, I'm sure you can find them in Binondo/Divisoria. :)

I think it still is Manila's CBD. I believe there is more money circulating in Binondo than, say, Ortigas. You just have to enter Metrobank in Tytana (the Downtown Headquarters of Metrobank) to see for yourself.

Once I was in a bank in Binondo and a lady stood beside me handing the teller a Jollibee take-out plastic bag. Inside the bag were about 10 bundles of 100 US Dollar bills. And to think I saw the lady walk to the bank, no car no bodyguard.

For Manila, yes but for the whole of Metro Manila, no. Binondo would have still been the metro's main CBD if The Ayala didn't develop Makati.

The amount of money circulating between Binondo and Ortigas can be debatable. Ortigas is home to San Miguel, Asia Development Bank and dozens of banks and corporations. It is still the 2nd most important CBD in Metro Manila.

^^ In terms of money being circulated, it is always debatable which area has the most transaction amount. But if you think about the number of people doing daily business transactions ~ 7/24(yes, all day all night), Binondo area would easily beat those modern commercial districts around metro Manila.

Correct. Only in Manila and not the whole of Metro Manila. One reason I believe Binondo still commands such CBD status is that many Corporations still keep a "Binondo Head Office" aside from their regular Head Offices in Ayala.

The reason for this is because Manila's main Chinatown is still in Binondo and most of the city's Chinese community are business oriented. They will need banks and alot of them.

But for the whole of Metro Manila, I still believe that Makati is now the main CBD.

With global warming receiving more and more attention especially in the media, what do you think we should do about the pollution problem in our biggest city?

An obvious solution would be to remove the Jeepneys that belch out black fumes from the streets. Have stricter rules regarding smog checks and the like.

An idea I was just thinking of: plant greenery on building rooftops and create more green parks. The plants would absorb carbon dioxide that is released by our vehicles. This idea was inspired by The Gramercy Residences and The Blue Sapphire Residences with their rooftop gardens, but I probably read this concept of planting greenery on rooftops somewhere else, so it's not original. Regardless, we should really do this! If even 50% of our buildings housed a garden, it would help clean our air.

To all this in the Philippines: please propose this idea to everyone! :)

I'm surprised we actually have these smoke tests when its renewal time for our vehicle's registration. Its actually a step to the right direction and if you make the process even strict and the standards higher, it will surely make a difference. I hope those tests do include jeepneys since ultimately, it is those things that create the most pollution. And I think the jeepney industry should be regulated since by doing so, you will be hitting two birds with one stone....reducing emissions of jeepney vehicles and reducing traffic jams, hence really lowering the air pollution in Metro Manila.

jeepneys are probably one of the worst polluters in Metro and Philippines as a whole.

My ideas are:
-ban the jeepney and instead introduce a more less polluting public transportation vehicle. Since many jeepney drivers will lose their jobs, I guess they can be trained to operate the new buses.

-Plant more trees, flowers, and create more parks.

-put a limit on greenhouse gas emmisions.

- introduce a recycling program.

etc....the list goes on and on

Well what I suggested is just ban jeepneys and tricycles in major roads and cities as well as in the business district - Makati just for starters. In addition:

For major roads - ban all buses more than 3 year old

ban all taxis more than 5 year old

fast track bio fuels mix to all vehicles

implement a modern traffic management system - why not let a foreign company handle our traffic management system? outsource it

why don't we create a big public park here in Manila - like the one in New york?

how about some common sense, getting rid of vehicles that you can visibly see black smoke coming out from their exhaust.

then from there, tougher standards, then again corruption is also a problem.

I wonder if there are cops that post as civilians and try to bribe a policeman? and then they're caught in the act with a camera/recorder

well yeah definitely better than nothing...but it would be harder for them to not do their job (enforcers) if we ban outright all buses more than 3 year old, taxis more than 5 and tricycles in major roads...just in major roads...i mean these traffic enforcers could get away with smoke belchers but it would be a blatant disregards of duty if we still see old buses in EDSA after a law banning them has been enacted

^^ Because part of the problems of jeepneys is the chaos it causes the roads by undisciplined drivers who are out to make a buck for themselves. Even if they are Bio-diesel powered, the fact that they clog up the entire flow of traffic just to pick up one passenger, that clog up effects creates way more emmissions by idling thousands upon thousands of vehicles. Just remove the jeepneys and replace them with well regulated bus lines, the movement of people and vehicles will greatly increase!

June 10th, 2007, 10:45 AM

^^ Even if there are special lanes, jeepney drivers and even bus drivers NEVER use them. For example, jeepneys are not suppose to climb up the Shaw Blvd flyover beside Shang. The rationale is they can pick up/drop off passengers in Shang, cross Edsa, then pick up/drop off passengers at that other mall (Manuela?). But instead, what they do is when they fill up, they stop before the flyover, then try to get in there, blocking the rest of the traffic in Shaw Blvd! Once you somehow manage to get off the jeepney bottleneck, its SMOOTH SAILING and no traffic until the next jeepney bottleneck. Same with the buses in EDSA wherein they have their own lanes but they still ignore them and swerve into the private vehicle's lane to get to a flyover. Its madness, I tell you.

And for the million jeepney drivers, oh BOO HOO!!!! There are 44 million people that would still suffer due to their inefficient system. If displacing a million jeepney drivers in exchange for having a much more efficient transportation system is the price to pay, then so be it. Because the amount of money that can be saved, and thus reinvested elsewhere, should create way more jobs and opportunities than those stolen by those arrogant, undisciplined million people who think they are the king of the road at our expense!

3. We are losing billions of pesos a year because of the lost working hours/ lost business opportunities/lost foreign investment caused by jeepney traffic. These billions of pesos would have created a lot of jobs.

4. WE are spending billions of pesos a year on medical expenses caused by pollution eg. bronchitis, pneunonia, etc. With less traffic and pollution - we could save billions of pesos a year.

5. The savings from better transpo system could obviously be used to train former jeepney drivers how to be bus drivers - we would replace jeepneys with buses - aside from training, we could also provide them with soft loans to start a small business.

Just because papi_chulo's opinion differs from yours doesn't mean its spam. Plus his post makes way more sense than any that you have done regarding the subject. :|

well yeah definitely better than nothing...but it would be harder for them to not do their job (enforcers) if we ban outright all buses more than 3 year old, taxis more than 5 and tricycles in major roads...just in major roads...i mean these traffic enforcers could get away with smoke belchers but it would be a blatant disregards of duty if we still see old buses in EDSA after a law banning them has been enacted

I was saying that as a first step, if you look at it, they're the one's who are usually old and have a bad engine anyway...

impounding them should be an option.

edit: what's also interesting is that our transport system is inefficient like queetz said, but it's widely available.

you need to bring balance between the two.

Why don't you read carefully before you react and acuse me of being bastos, especially since its absolutely true anyway that papi_chulo's post do indeed makes more sense than your defense of a grossly inefficient transportation system such as jeepneys and tricycles.... :|
