HCM City named in the world’s top 10 dynamic cities
07:53' 08/02/2009 (GMT+7)
VietNamNet Bridge - The US Magazine Business Week has named 10 cities which will play an important role in helping their countries develop. Of this, Ho Chi Minh City ranked fourth, following Cebu (the Philippines), and Beijing and Shanghai (China).
As the world economic crisis worsens, international corporations and organizations are increasingly moving both their capital and their workforces to not only the most-effective urban destinations, but also ones with a young and skilled population who are willing to work for cheap wages, and who will also provide quality commodities production and services.
Business Week ranked HCMC at the fourth because of its emerging information-technology and product development sectors, its very large reserve of low wage young human resources and high-quality educational establishments.
FPT, IBM and Luxoft Group were listed as outstanding service providers, while HCMC National University and the HCMC Technique Teaching University were honored in the description of HCMC in the magazine.
The fifth to tenth cities listed by Business Week were Krakow (Poland), Kolkata (India), Cairo (Egypt), Sao Paulo (Brazil), Buenos Aires (Argentina) and Shenzhen (China).
Almost all cities listed by Business Week have the advantage of young and skillful workers, and all are places where English is widely as second language.

leylander February 9th, 2009, 06:03 AM Bai Zidlakan,
Ako concern is about atong mga public transport.
Naa bay law/ordinance/rule about the putting of loudspeakers inside jeepneys and busses?
Daghan kaau jip saba kaau ang music. mag shinagitay ang mga pasahero ug kondoktor. Mao siguro cge ra ka stress mga driver. I believe music affects affects the total well-being of a person.
Ingon pa ni Aristotle:
"[If a person] habitually listens to the kind of music that rouses ignoble passions, his whole character will be shaped to an ignoble form. In short, if one listens to the wrong kind of music he will become the wrong kind of person; but conversely, if he listens to the right kind of music, he will tend to become the right kind of person."
Noise pollution has negative effects. I hope something can be done about this.
And about the BRT. I would like to suggest that the bus stations and busses be equipped with good sound systems and 'culturally enhancing music' should be played - and maka pawala sa stress (of course at a proper sound level - volume).
I am willing to give my share of good music. hehe
IMO, we should go for no 'sound systems' at all. good music is relative. some would kill for an 'april boy' song. others would do the same thing for a metallica track.
Ex!lE February 9th, 2009, 06:12 AM ^ murag naa man rule ana. kahinumdom ko sauna nga sige panakop ang citom sa naay sound system nga mga jeepney.
Hiroshima February 9th, 2009, 06:21 AM IMO, we should go for no 'sound systems' at all. good music is relative. some would kill for an 'april boy song'. others would do the same thing for a metallica track.
You have a point. Though I would prefer playing only 'instrumental music.' the sound system would be used as 'paging system' - they can play soft instrumental music in between - like in hotels.. para class sad. - they can also feature our ethnic music.
I always observe loud sound systems especially on northbound multicabs. the volume is too much for such a small vehicle.

concern February 9th, 2009, 06:32 AM sir paul.. paperless na d i inyo office? hehehe.. sounds great!
City planning & development office goes paperless
Updated February 09, 2009 12:00 AM
CEBU – In order to save 80 to 100 reams of paper it uses in a year, the City Planning and Development Office will effectively go paperless beginning today.
Engr. Nigel Paul Villarete, head of the CPDO which provides the public with data and information, best planning, and regulatory monitoring services for the development of Cebu City, said he will issue a memorandum today instructing his staff to go paperless.
“All internal communication, memorandum, external communication, and inspection reports may be filed to me through electronic mail,” Villarete said.
He added that the undertaking is done for both office austerity and environmental measure. Austerity in the sense that the move saves them bulk of paper wasted at the end of the year, and environmental measure since production of paper means cutting down of trees.
Other pertinent forms will however be printed for the clients to comply with like applications for locational clearance, fencing permit, and development permit.
Further, Villarete said that their office is launching a separate website - http://planning.cebucityhall.com - for the convenience of the public. As the site is still undergoing construction, they only have the lists of requirements of certifications, for now, where one can confer prior to making a visit at their office.
The website, he said, is also aimed to emphasize transparency in government transactions.
“We posted the requirements so the client will know whether there are requirements asked by my staff which are or are not included in the actual list,” Villarete said.
Among CPDO’s major functions are the “formulation of the City’s Capital Development and Investment Program and the Annual Investment Program; the conduct of continuing research and data collection in order to update the city’s profile, the city map, and the city barangay maps; the delivery of quality service to clients in the evaluation and recommendation for the approval of subdivision plans, economic and socialized housing projects, special permits (like in hauling), sand and gravel permits, small-scale quarry permits, variance applications, and special use permit from the Sangguniang Panlungsod upon recommendation from the Cebu City Zoning Board.”
More importantly, CPDO conducts inspection and investigation, and renders reports on various complaints against commercial sand and gravel, small-scale quarrying, and violations on land use and zoning. — Ferliza C. Contratista/MEEV (THE FREEMAN)

I thought they were planning on turning SRP into the new uptown of Cebu where all the high rises would be built. I bet that would really be awesome! What are they going to put in that freedom park really? but you're right it would be really nice to get all the structures there looking good and to blend it with other structures. My concept of a flee market is a place where people would sell their old furnitures and such, especially the ones that can be considered "antique" where in the future, this item would really worth a fortune or even priceless...

That's the question since I thought its under the law that the Philippine coastline (especially beaches) are public domain and cannot be owned?
@Sir Nigel, what are your insights about this particular issue?

mike durero February 9th, 2009, 11:05 AM My honest opinion pod bai dili kaayo maayo ang design sa lantaw. If ipadayon man gani i hope naay mas modern nga design that can complement with 5 star marco polo hotel and future luxury condominiums within the area.
..:lol: i made those renderings man..Its the majestic who commission us to design the lantaw..And they wanted to lease on that area .. Its a tropical modern design and still on the design scheme..Its called restaurant clusters cause it houses different kinds of cuisine..hehe
dongRoy February 9th, 2009, 11:05 AM ^^ so, meaning diay, ang mga European cities which continue to build structures that conform to the city's old structures did not attract tourists from around the world? ...mao sab na nakabati sa kaso sa Cebu, we never tried to preserve the majority of our old buildings...gipang-guba lang para mo-give way lang sa bag-o nga design...why can't we continue building new structures that conforms to the old Cebu...?
I actually like the idea of these newer architecture that would be based on the older buildings that "once" inhabited the land. Like for instance, with Cebu, Spanish and Chinese architecture abound downtown area, perhaps a challenge for our architecture students today would be to design buildings that would complement or would be derived from those older designs but using the technologies we have today.
Of course, the existence of our Heritage Preservation Society should be widely supported and protect those old buildings left standing and fight to lift these structures to landmark status.
jsl_bxu1206 February 9th, 2009, 11:08 AM Mactan "Ocean Care" movement revived
Updated February 09, 2009 12:00 AM
Leading hospitality and industrial stakeholders in Mactan Island have united to revive the "Ocean Care" movement, to sustain the environmental, and natural resources attraction of the Island, which is deemed as the "crown jewel" of Cebu's tourism.
The "Ocean Care" movement, which was created four years ago, had become in-active since, and now environment-conscious industry players have initiated to re-activate the organization, led by the Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP).
Initially, the movement is raising at least P250 thousand to run the organization's administrative expenses, in making projects, creating model marine environment advocacy group that is sustainable, unified, apolitical, and effective.
PBSP-Visayas president Antonio Aboitiz, who is also appointed to head the Ocean Care Advocates Inc., said that the revival of the group now vowed to commitment for sustainability, especially that leading brands of resorts on the Island have signed up for full commitment.
The group is up to establish mixed-use marine protected areas, sanctuaries, and park systems, among other target goals, to protect and rehabilitate marine environment of Mactan Island and its interdependent island ecosystem.
Big resort brands, like Shangri-La's Mactan Resort and Spa, Plantation Bay Resort and Spa, Hilton Cebu Resort and Spa, have committed to support the sustainability of the advocacy, considering that resorts are capitalizing mostly the Island's marine resources.
Dive shops, and some other industries located in Mactan, have also expressed their interest to support the movement.
According to Shangri-La's Mactan Resort and Spa general manager Raymond Bragg, it is high time for stakeholders to take radical move in protecting the Island's environment.
"It's our livelihood, [protecting the environment] is important to us," Bragg said.
Bragg said the participation of big brands to the Ocean Care advocacy could move the organization forward, and effectively achieve its goals.
Besides, he said the group is expected to gain support from the Department of Tourism (DOT), as the agency's main thrust right now, is to protect the environmental treasure of the Philippines, which is the sole capital for the "still" dynamic tourism industry.
Aboitiz said on the other hand, that aside from raising at least P250 thousand annually, to keep the organization running, advocate members shall also raise funding for each project.
Ultimately, Aboitiz said the group may tap international funding agencies for aid upcoming projects of the organization. For now, the group life-span solely depends on the participation of different industry players, through membership dues.
Ocean Care Advocates Inc., is committed to encourage establishment of equitable rules and guidelines for the management of marine environment, such as collating and study existing laws, statutes, treaties and ordinances that concerns the advocacy.
Aboitiz who is also a diving enthusiast is alarmed of the deteriorating marine beauty of Mactan, and its neighboring islets and islands. — Ehda M. Dagooc

jsl_bxu1206 February 9th, 2009, 11:12 AM Cebu's tourism potentials and inadequacies
FULL DISCLOSURE By Fidel O. Abalos
Updated February 09, 2009 12:00 AM
Tourism is significant for many countries such as Morocco, Egypt, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Thailand and tiny island nations like Fiji due to the huge intake of money for businesses. Undeniably, the tourism industry favorably affects many industries. It offers a lot of employment opportunities in the service industries associated with it. These service industries include, among others, the transport services such as rent-a-car and taxis, accommodation such as hotels and entertainment venues, and other hospitality and wellness businesses like SPAs and resorts.
Recognizing its potentials, we aren’t letting this opportunity pass our way unnoticed. To this administration’s credit, this is one industry we really are trying to develop to the max. On a sustained basis, the government promotes the country’s tourism investment potentials and places of interest for opportunity-seeking business travelers and leisure lovers, respectively. Promotions and campaigns are appropriately made both here and abroad. Informative tarps are hanged and plastered in domestic and international airport terminals and seaports. Substantial amounts are also spent on TV, radio and print advertisements.
Indeed, the hype for tourism has always been great and undoubtedly expensive. Government officials and major players are giving it immeasurable boost not just to stay afloat but to let it remain a viable undertaking.
Apart from the usual sights, traditional activities and countless festivals, Cebu is also starting to position itself as having the capabilities for medical tourism and sports tourism. While we are too optimistic about their prospects due to our relative success in traditional tourism, it seems that we did not realize that medical tourism and sports tourism are totally different from the rest.
The medical tourism, for instance, is not a tour or travel for predominantly recreational or leisure purposes but out of necessity. Mindfully, it is not a kind tourism where even a commercial sex worker can get involve. It needs huge investments in hospital equipment and the best in our already depleted number of health practitioners.
Yes, it is true that medical tourism is growing rapidly. However, there are many factors that led to the increasing prominence of medical travel and not all success ingredients in traditional tourism can be counted upon. Principally, the reasons run from high cost of their countries’ health care to longer waiting times for certain treatments or procedures. Coupled with the ease and affordability of international travel and the vastly improved technology and health care standards in other countries, medical travel has been viewed as truly the sunny side of tourism.
Medical tourists are coming from anywhere in the globe. They are coming from the wealthy nations in Europe, Middle East, Japan, the United States and Canada. These are countries with relatively large moneyed populations and have high cost of health care.
However, just because there is a huge market is not enough reason for us to join the bandwagon. A huge potential market doesn’t assure us of success. This potential market is knowledgeable enough to know where to get treatment. Without doing an honest assessment of our real worth or capabilities, we will only end up salivating while staring at a huge market that we can’t tap.
On the other hand, sports tourism has a different emphasis. It is not enough that we have great fighters and world class stables of boxers. If this is a requisite then Las Vegas, Nevada will never become a home of great fights and bankable sports tourism because it doesn’t even have a single world boxing champion.
Sports, as a form of entertainment, could have been better than concerts because of pride and patriotism that is attached to it. However, like concerts, we need big-time and well-oiled promoters who can willingly put their money on the line. We need the likes of Bob Arum, Oscar de la Hoya, Gary Shaw, etc. to see the dream fights go. Do we have them in our midst? Even if they are, they will only do so if they profit from it. To make certain, they would like to see those amusement taxes gone or, at least, brought down almost to the ground.
Though this could encourage promoters to bet even their last underwear, we must also realize that not having amusement taxes does not necessarily lead to more productions of big events at all. While it encourages and financially helps promotions, concerns on venues are not necessarily addressed. If the intention really is to promote sports tourism and have more opportunities to see international sports spectacles at affordable prices, we need to have at least one comfortable and inexpensive venue. Since even a replica of Venetian Macao could still be considered ambitious, a modest counterpart of Quezon City’s Araneta Coliseum can be a viable option. Seeing this realized, we can expect patronage not just among Cebuanos and our neighbors in the Visayas and Mindanao provinces but foreign visitors as well. Consequently, we can expect higher hotel occupancy rate and boost tourism.
Ironically, despite these basic but unattended concerns, we brag about the potentials of our medical tourism and sports tourism capabilities. Is having advanced equipment not an issue for medical tourists? Aren’t they coming here to get cured or healed? What assurance can we give them when a basic issue like depleting number of health care professionals can’t be even appropriately addressed? On the other hand, what world class competition or fight can you expect from an oven-hot coliseum?
We truly understand the necessity of promoting our tourism potentials both here and abroad. The need to inform potential market of our capabilities is unquestionable. In doing so however, we must not forget that like any business, the key to any success is continued patronage. This can only be achieved once we can develop a strong customer base that will not only give us repeat businesses but shall tell the world how capable we are.

I like this! Finally they7re starting to see the light. Hehe. I'd like to be part of this as soon as I come back! In particular, ganahan ko unta na dili lang a east coast sa Mactan ang tagaan ug pagtagad. Apil na pod ang West coast which is ang Mactan Channel area. Swerte lang ta na at least naay ample na inundation ug current na dili magaccumulate kaayo ang trash diri unlike Manila Bay na comparatively stagnant (just stating a hydrological fact here, nothing personally invested against Manila, before anyone calls me dumb and stupid:)) But I hope that while it is not yet so bad and polluted, we must prevent further degradation and work towards rehabilitation of Mactan Channel. Usa sa akoang nabantayan, kanang mga barko usahay na akoang nasakyan, upon approaching the pier magrelease sa ilahang hugaw and it seems like apil na ana ang sludge sa barko (all those that were flushed down the toilet too) irelease. Maklaro gyud kaayo ang hhugaw na murag gikalibang sa barko. Naglagot ko nagtanaw kay pwerte ka irresponsible. Mao na na baho na sad ang waters dapit sa pier area. Pastilan! I hope they will be regulated properly oi. Mas bali pa unta ug sa lawod pa to niya giempty ang hugaw kay mas madisperse pa unta. I hope these ships also utilize waste processing systems aron inig gawas sa hugaw its already relatively safe enough na maabsorb ug maprocess ra naturally by our natural environmental processing systems.

What BRT model was Cebu going to pattern its BRT again? Was that of TransMilenio in Bogota or the one in Curitiba?
Anyway, I remember @zidlakan said something about the jeepney operators upgrading their technologies. I do hope the upgrading can have a collaboration between these public transport operators and the local government.
Maybe if today's jeepneys would be upgraded to become stair less like the BRT buses, then passengers would also have to get on and off on stations equipped with loading platforms. The local government however would have to spend on installing the loading platforms on assigned jeepney stops. In addition, perhaps the BRT metro card would then also be used for jeepneys as well. But this would call for reforms on the current transport franchising laws.
Either way, if the would-be feeder routes would have jeepney stops with loading platforms, and jeepneys would be upgraded to become stair less, I'm certain it would also help ease up traffic flow along the feeder corridors since passengers and/or drivers would not be able to load and unload anywhere they please.

dongRoy February 9th, 2009, 02:55 PM ^^for access to loading stations, that's right... Although it would be a pity that we may have to bring down a number of the landscaped center islands though. But sometimes, we'd just have to pay a price. I believe it's called a trade off...

a skywalkway or subway crossing the street should be placed like the pix in quangzhou. cebu can make of hemispheric buildings or eliptical buildings as terminals where the bus is sandwich where commuters can exit on both sides depending on where there next area of destination is.

dongRoy February 9th, 2009, 03:16 PM Speaking of center islands, I was walking along Osmeña Blvd. this afternoon and Oh, Boy! the heat was excruciating. Anyway, as I was looking up at the trees along the Avenue, I remembered an incident when I saw public works people cutting down the branches of trees along V.Rama Ave. because it was already strangled on the overhead cables.
Then I remembered an issue here on SSC about burying the overhead cables. I realized that if these overhead cables were to be buried, I don't think it would be wise if it's buried underneath the sidewalks/pedestrian walkways. Why? If our direction is to become a pedestrian friendly city then I believe we should be considering planting trees along sidewalks. Trees have a deeper and wider root systems. If there are conduits and tunnels beneath its root systems, it would hamper the healthy growth of these trees.
So I glazed over at the center islands. Center islands are just being landscaped with shrubs and flowers and tiny plants which all have a shallow and smaller root systems. If these overhead cables are to be buried, then I believe the best location to bury them should be underneath the center islands. And if the city would push through with the renovation of its sewage and drainage system, using the single culvert drain system mentioned by Mayor Tom a few years ago, then perhaps they could place provisions for underground cabling as well.
But that's just an idea. I haven't really figured out how to go about with the cabling issue without disrupting current services. Off the top of my head, run service lines parallel the current active ones and do it grid by grid. In any case, money is always an object.
jsl_bxu1206 February 9th, 2009, 03:19 PM Nice idea:)

Ako guilty man ko aning "walang magawa sa buhay" ba and I am aware that sometimes we get laughed at for including these wild ideas in these forums. But what we are trying to do here to raise the collective consciousness among us, Cebuanos, that there is clear hope for us to have a better life.
We are simply recognizing the potential of our town and come up with ways on how to make it better. We do recognize that it's not a perfect town but then again it also serves an opportunity for us to be creative and to be able to share amongst ourselves and to the world this passion and love we posses towards our homeland.
And we know, even if this is just an online forum, in our minute and sometimes insignificant ways, that "we are throwing our rocks out into the sea to make that ugly mountain disappear..."

love this vid, mura iya gi explain ang pagkaprogresibo sa cebu, even though the mountain cant give them water, not agriculturally rich etc etc. it is by doing something out of nothing. just like the rattan poles during the late 80's according to some sources, no single strand of rattan is growing in cebu at that time yet cebu was one of the worlds top exporter of rattan furniture. we were left out by the national government during typhoon ruping and almost 90% of electric poles in cebu are down, the only link to the airport was damaged pa gyud and doomsayers were saying na it is the end of the road for cebu, and look what happened after that? ceboom part 1!

Sa kagamay sa Cebu...sa kabati sa Cebu...sa kahugaw sa Cebu...naa pa gud di mapul-an diha og panaway sa Cebu.
Wa lang...Pahungaw lang ko... :)
hahay kapoy na kaayo na sila oi. dili nalang gyud sila mofocus unsay damgo nila para sa ilang syudad, wala bitaw nay bayad ang mangandoy..maayo pag gamiton na ninyo inyo talento para pagbuhat sa inyo mga visions sa inyong syudad. maayo pa na, productive og makatabang pa pag enhance sa inyo skills.. nya mas ma visualize pa ninyo ang nindot para sa inyo syudad...mas maayo pana kay sa sige pasundayag sa inyo garbo...
maayo nang naa kay damgo para ang mga bati mahatagan og solusyon og dili lang tabunan.....
di nalang nato na tagdon gud sila...
kapoy nga karong panahona magsige tag palabwanay...ani nalang..if you like competition with Cebu...lets see who will win in the end, lets say 10-20 years...tana-awon nato kinsay pinaka progresibo og pinakanindot nga lugar..
kay kapoy di ta maghuman kung karon ta maghisgot og kinsay pinaka...
then we will see who will succeed in the end, will it be the one who has the greatest pride, or the one who creates the BIGGEST DREAM and has strong faith in it (despite of the existing flaws, bitter realities and difficulties)

rustyboi February 10th, 2009, 08:05 AM "Suroy-Suroy Sugbo" collects P1.4 million sales
Updated February 10, 2009 12:00 AM
CEBU, Philippines – In the highlights of January operations presented by the Office of the Governor yesterday, the “Suroy-Suroy Sugbo” raked in total gross sales of P1,492,060.
This after around 200 balikbayans from Las Vegas and other tourists from Canada, Dubai, Spain, Japan and India, as well as local guests, joined in the “Southern Heritage Trail” caravan from January 21 to 23.
The 18th staging of the “Suroy-Suroy Sugbo” was said to be with the most number of participants since the tourism program was launched in 2004.
The provincial government is in the process of arranging a special trip for the Chinese delegation from Guangdong that will be arriving next month in line with the forging of sisterhood relations.
It is hoped that the success of the latest staging of Suroy-Suroy will spark deeper interest for Cebu among many travelers.
As for the presentation of accomplishments of the Office of the Provincial Agriculturist to Governor Gwendolyn Garcia, it was learned that the OPA had already conducted trainings on the production of lakatan (a variety of banana) in Danao City and that around 60 farmers there received lakatan seedlings to begin propagation. The training was also carried out in Aloguinsan town.
Another 125 participants from Carmen and Catmon towns, and Toledo City received a series of training on organic farming. Application of organic agriculture led to the hauling of 1,125 bags of dung from chicken farms in said places to be distributed in neighboring municipalities.
The presentation of project accomplishments also mentioned sweet potato production, inland fishery, and the construction of the provincial nursery and farmers training center. — AJ de la Torre/MEEV (THE FREEMAN)

jsl_bxu1206 February 10th, 2009, 09:20 AM City bares winning landfill bidder today
Updated February 10, 2009 12:00 AM
CEBU, Philippines – The Cebu City Hall’s bids and awards committee is set to open today the submitted sealed bids of the private investors who are interested in taking over the management of the city’s sanitary landfill in barangay Inayawan.
City administrator Francisco “Bimbo” Fernandez, who also sits as the BAC chairman, said the city will immediately award the contract to the private investor who submitted the most favorable bid.
Fernandez promised to announce today the details of how the winning bidder will manage the dumpsite and how it will earn an income for managing the landfill.
The city has required that the entity that wants to manage the city’s sanitary landfill is willing to invest at least P150 million to maintain the dumpsite.
One of the major goals of the city why it wants the landfill be managed by private firm is to stop the foul smell from the garbage in the site. The concerns on how the odor will be eliminated have allegedly stalled the bidding process.
Most of the private investors have also complained about the P150-million required investment for a bidder to qualify for the bid because they believe that a budget of P30 million or P40 million is already enough for the project.
Mayor on-leave Tomas Osmeña, who is still in Houston, Texas for the treatment of the cancer in his urinary bladder, has been very concerned about the still unsolved foul odor coming from the landfill, which is located near the South Road Properties that the city is now trying to sell to investors.
The mayor has even called up Fernandez to immediately do something to stop or to minimize the foul smell because it has allegedly already reached as far as the Sugbu Building, the administrative building of the SRP at Kawit Island.
Osmeña has decided to turn over the management of the sanitary landfill to a private entity hoping that its service will become effective. There are also plans to privatize the collection of the garbage in the city, which is already being practiced in other major cities in the country.
A city councilor said that after the contract for the management and operation of the landfill is awarded to the winning bidder today, he will propose the privatization of the collection and hauling of garbage hoping that it will increase efficiency and save expenses.
The privatization of garbage collection will allegedly increase the efficiency of garbage collection and disposal and will result to less maintenance cost for the city to maintain the garbage trucks.
“Daghan sa atong mga drayber sa garbage truck nga motuyo g’yod gani sa pagguba sa ilang sakyanan aron wala sila’y trabahoon og pirmi ang sweldo,” said Osmeña in a recent interview. — Rene U. Borromeo/WAB (THE FREEMAN)

VietNamNet Bridge - The US Magazine Business Week has named 10 cities which will play an important role in helping their countries develop. Of this, Ho Chi Minh City ranked fourth, following Cebu (the Philippines), and Beijing and Shanghai (China).
As the world economic crisis worsens, international corporations and organizations are increasingly moving both their capital and their workforces to not only the most-effective urban destinations, but also ones with a young and skilled population who are willing to work for cheap wages, and who will also provide quality commodities production and services.
Business Week ranked HCMC at the fourth because of its emerging information-technology and product development sectors, its very large reserve of low wage young human resources and high-quality educational establishments.
FPT, IBM and Luxoft Group were listed as outstanding service providers, while HCMC National University and the HCMC Technique Teaching University were honored in the description of HCMC in the magazine.
The fifth to tenth cities listed by Business Week were Krakow (Poland), Kolkata (India), Cairo (Egypt), Sao Paulo (Brazil), Buenos Aires (Argentina) and Shenzhen (China).
Almost all cities listed by Business Week have the advantage of young and skillful workers, and all are places where English is widely as second language.

Press Release - October 06, 2008
CyberMedia’s Global Services Study finds
Chinese Cities Dominate List of Emerging Cities for Global Outsourcing
Six Indian Cities among the Top 8 global Outsourcing cities
New Delhi, October 6, 2008:
The Top 8 Global Outsourcing Cities includes as many as six Indian cities led by Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi National Capital Region, Hyderabad, Mumbai and Pune. Dublin (Ireland) and Makati City (The Philippines) are the other two cities in the list. This has been revealed by a study by CyberMedia’s Global Services, the media platform for global IT outsourcing and BPO industry, and Tholons, a global investment advisory firm.
India’s representation in the top 50 Emerging Global Outsourcing cities has grown to four, from last year’ three, with the addition of Jaipur to the list at No 31. The other three cities in the list include Kolkata at No 6, Chandigarh at No 12 and Coimbatore at No 17.
Cebu City (The Philippines), Shanghai (China) and Beijing (China) lead the list of emerging global outsourcing cities.
The ‘Top 50 Emerging Global Outsourcing Cities’ 2008 list has nine entrants - Quezon City, Toronto, Rio de Janeiro, Mexico City, Jaipur, Singapore City, Chengdu, Guadalajara and Mandaluyong City.
Six Chinese cities are a part of the top 50 emerging cities for global outsourcing list, compared to India’s four. These are Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, Dalian, Guangzhou and Chengdu
However, six cities from 2007 have not made it to the list this year - Perth (Australia), Baguio City (The Philippines), Leeds (U.K.), Birmingham, (U.S.), Oklahoma City, (U.S.), Juarez (Mexico).
Of the top 50 cities, 19 are from Asia and 13 from Central and Eastern Europe. Besides tier-1 Asian cities, outsourcing centers are being set up in many tier-2 and tier-3 cities.
As per CyberMedia publication Global Services, the top entries from Asia are Cebu City, Shanghai, Beijing, Ho Chi Minh City, Kolkata and Shenzhen. The top ranking entries from Central and Eastern Europe include Krakow (Poland), Prague (Czech Republic), and Budapest (Hungary).

Chinese Cities Dominate
While Chinese cities like Shanghai have established themselves as mature destinations for offerings such as F&A, product development, R&D and testing the government is focusing on use of English language in schools.
With a supportive government and favorable outsourcing conditions, China’s outsourcing industry is set to flourish further. Some new Chinese cities might make an entry into the list next year or some of the top emerging cities might move to the top outsourcing cities’ list, says the study.
Cities like Guangzhou are known for engineering-services, whileapplication development and maintenance and business analytics are now being offered from Shenzhen and Shanghai respectively.
Consequently, the country is home to numerous IT and BPO services providers. While global providers such as Accenture, ACS, Atos Origin, AT&T, Capgemini, Cognizant, Convergys, EDS, Genpact, HP, Infosys, IBM, Satyam, TCS, Wipro and Unisys have their presence across the China, local providers such as Augmentum, Bleum, Dextrys and Neusoft are also known globally.
The study has also shortlisted tier-II cities around the world which have the potential of moving into the top 50 list. These include Nizhniy Novgorod (Russia) Cork, Republic of Ireland, Tianjin (China), Bacolod City (The Philippines) and Amman (Jordan).
Specialization vs. Low Cost
To set up an outsourcing center the choice of the right city has become more important than the choice of the country, the study says. Attributes of a city like available resources (quality and type of work force, cost, available infrastructure), and its long-term potential in fulfilling demand for specific services determine its attractiveness as an outsourcing centre.
CyberMedia’s Global Services from the USA, the first Indian magazine title to be published from outside the country for a global audience, report says increasing competition in the global outsourcing will make the cities more focused in identifying appropriate service lines and in developing their service-delivery capabilities.
Commenting on the 2nd Global Services study Ed Nair, Editor, Global Services said, “The concept of an individual location being a ‘one-stop-shop’ has given way to ‘smart, multi, selective sourcing’ models, wherein selected processes are outsourced only to the most appropriate destination.”
While Bangalore, Krakow, Makati City and Shanghai are the established centers for finance and accounting, Cebu City, Colombo and Pune are the emerging centers of excellence for this function.
Similarly Shanghai, Dublin and Bangalore are currently the leading centers for research and development and Beijng, Chennai and Prague have been identified as the new emerging centers for R&D services in 2008.
Interestingly, there is a trade-off between cost benefit and complexity of services offered by a city. In many cases, an offshore location with lower costs, also processes less complex services and vice-versa. For instance, offshore cities such as St. Petersburg, Shanghai, Bangalore, Makati City, Ho Chi Minh City and Delhi (National Capital Region) provide high-end, complex functions but not necessarily at a lower cost.
Similarly, it is possible to get less complex work done at onshore locations such as San Antonio and Glasgow at lower price.
Avinash Vashistha, CEO, Tholons, said "Clients’ focus on identifying outsourcing locations has driven the emergence of ‘Centers of Excellence.’ Rise of Manila National Capital Region (NCR) – an agglomeration of 16 adjacent cities - is an example. Though less than 1/13th of India’s population, its BPO revenues are already half as large as India’s BPO revenues.”
“Cairo, is uniquely positioned to cater to not just the traditional UK and US markets, but also to the fast growing Middle Eastern market,” adds Vashistha.
The study has also shortlisted tier-II cities around the world, which have the potential of moving into the top 50 list. These include Nizhniy Novgorod (Russia) Cork, Republic of Ireland, Tianjin (China), Bacolod City (The Philippines) and Amman (Jordan).
Beyond Emerging Cities
While the focus of the study was to identify the top 50 emerging cities, it also listed the top global outsourcing cities.
Ed Nair, Editor, Global Services adds, “Even as new destinations emerge, old ones continue to grow. In fact, our list of top outsourcing cities has expanded from 5 in 2007 to 8 in 2008, which indicates the growing footprint of even the matured destinations.”
The Top 8 Global Outsourcing Cities includes a few new members — Chennai (India), Hyderabad (India), Makati City (The Philippines) and Pune (India). As expected, Indian cities dominate the list once again. Makati City, as part of the Philippines NCR (National Capital Region) holds its ground.

Methodology
To determine delivery and consumption trends for global outsourcing services in specific destinations, surveys and interviews with tier-1 and tier-2 providers and service buyers were conducted. The data gathering methodologies were also applied to determine market and labor sizes as well as expansion strategies of tier-1 and tier-2 providers.
In addition, governments, industry bodies and related stakeholders were also interviewed to provide both primary data and validation of analysis. We obtained historical stats from governments, global institutions and agencies, and economic-related data from monetary bodies. Publicly released data from government sources were also considered when using country-specific market data. Publicly available financial records such as quarterly and annual reports, industry bulletins and trade publications were used to verify market assumptions and analysis.
A combination of comprehensive quantitative and qualitative analysis was considered in developing the rankings using a proprietary weighting and ranking system.

No. There's no such thing as a New QC or New Singapore. It only means they weren't in the list before but are now part of the Top 50 Emerging Cities for Global Outsourcing.
Cebu leads the pack of Top Emerging Cities for Global Outsourcing. For the Philippines as a whole, Makati is the standard bearer having made it to the Top 8 Global Outsourcing Cities. Our NCR alone generates half of the revenue of what India is producing. Here's the full content...

Sleepwalker February 10th, 2009, 04:50 PM @gunbladespecialist,
I don't the detailed contact info, but you can try on the following place:
1.) R. Landon St. - I know there are a lot of students staying on this area, specially those studying in USC-Main, Velez College and Cebu Doctor's University. Basically, a good place for a student.
2.) Urgello St. - A place also for students. Student populace here are mainly from Southwestern University.
But personally, i suggest you also visit Nasipit, Talamban...There are a lot of apartments surrounding University of San Carlos-TC...And since you are an ECE, then it might also help you getting around with engineering studes... :)
But USC-TC will be a 45 minute commute to your review center.
Good luck amigo

KLAXXON February 10th, 2009, 08:21 PM let's stop comparing Cities na siguro...kse, honestly, we've got long ways to go before we even sniff the stature of 1st world Cities...I mean, Metro Manila nga 3 lines pa lang ang railway system, Davao and Cebu wala pa...cities from 1st world countries eh parang bituka na ang mga railways...yet, here we are pulling each other down. whachatink friends?
btw, I like aXXo and FXG better.... :D
Yun din nakapagtataka, why do we have to compare each cities in the Philippines when each city or even each barangay have their own distinctive qualities. Medyo mahirap nga maghambing dahil each place always have its own pros and cons.
No matter how much we try to promote our city too on the outside, the moment they know it's in the Philippines, we are still going to be lumped as one so mas mabuti sigurong ang i-promote natin buong pilipinas nalang.
^^
oo nga...nakakasawa na ang city vs city...kung ano ang maganda sa kabila, we can always hope to have someday here also, and vice versa. :)
Well said indeed. Well said. These are the messages i had been trying to convey since the start of petty city quarrels Cagayan - Davao and now Cebu. I had to play devil's advocate for people to realize how tiring it is to make baseless accusations which nobody in their right mind would admit that each city no matter we were born and raised are different in so many ways. I am in no way a Cebuano, a Davaoeño nor a Cagayanon. The Philippine Islands in general is but a very beautiful place run by petty corrupt government officials in Manila. Until then, Our country will remain as is, and will be someday left behind by emerging neighboring countries like Vietnam. We are far more richer than Korea 60 years ago but because of our crab mentality which we display here in an ardent manner, (and i won't even deny i am one of them and so are you guys whether we like it or not) the Koreans are now coming here to invest in our country and most of them are trying to take advantage of our corrupt political system for their own good. They even manage to build a Spa in the island of Taal. Now think about it, we may be born and bred malay, chinese or with foreign blood but we cannot deny being a filipino. "Filipino First." Love our country first as a whole and not by region.
Shout outs to sandman.ink for his responsible statements. Shout outs to KLAXXON, AXXO and FXG for great dvd copy's.
Yours truly,
Jack Sparrow The Great Pirate
flesh_is_weak February 10th, 2009, 09:10 PM ^^let's be like korea and split up our country too... :jk: (okay, i know that was not a very good thing for me to say...considering that i do love korea and i know how bad separation is for them...but in the context of Cebu and The Philippine Empire, i'm split 60-40 in this secession issue, 60% of me in favor of an independent Cebu/Visayas :lol:)

re: top outsourcing destination:
now that we've topped that list, could we proceed with realizing Mr. Gokongwei's vision and start aiming to become a top manufacturing center?
zidlakan February 10th, 2009, 11:45 PM re: top outsourcing destination:
now that we've topped that list, could we proceed with realizing Mr. Gokongwei's and start aiming to become a top manufacturing center?
i am tempted to agree but let's temper this with reality ...
with the ceboom growth brought about by the 1988-1992 filling up of MEPZ with
foreign direct investments (FDIs), all of which were manufacturing, the SRP was
hatched ... as a primarily 100% export-processing manufacturing hub. but the
1997 crisis and the emergence of china and vietnam has doused cold water to
that plan ... the entry of manufacturing-type FDIs has steadily declined in the
last decade. between 2005 to 2008, not a single manufacturing FDI joined the
cebu economy (source: CIPC).
now came the world crisis ...
much as we want to, i don't think we could go the way of manufacturing in
the next decade. production worldwide will slow down ... more so with
consumption, and manufacturing will probably level off. that's the reason
why we have redirected our focus to outsourcing, tourism-based investments
(including medical tourism and retirement facilities), IT- and knowledge-
based industries, education, recreation ... and the like, hopefully spurring
the cebu city economy, which, by the way, is already 76% services-based
anyway (agriculture - 8%, manufacturing - 16%). we should maximize where
we are strong and gain a niche foothold, while providing safety nets for the
less-favored sector of society.
but i still do hope, too ... one of these days, we could entice manufacturing
again in our shores ... sooner or later ... if we just concentrate becoming
a better, more livable city, all these will come in due time ...
flesh_is_weak February 11th, 2009, 12:49 AM ^^not unless we get our best minds working on it...they could try to figure out what would be hot in the market in the next decade--or better yet, come up with an innovation that would take the markets by storm...and presto, the whole world would be buying Cebu...

comment sa suggestion ni Sleepwalker:
urgello st.: i think ayos dri coz meron ata jeep na deretcho sa jakosalem from urgello.
r. landon: nice din cguro tumira dyan pero parang walang byahe ng jeep papunta d jakosalem. cguro lakarin mu nlng i guess mlapit nlng yan.
nasipit, talamban: maganda place dyan kasi andyan usc tc. pero baka matraffic ka. nung college ako sobrang traffic dyan.
try mu din EMTER apts. ata un. sa may b.rodriguez st. ata un. malapit sa southern islands hospital. medyo malayo na un mga 2 km cguro. pero derecho lng ata byahe nun papunta colon. masaya dyan.
i think the best na gawin mu if meron ka kakilala sa cebu. stay ka muna sa place nya for a week. then maghanap ka dyan sa mga place na nabanggit tapos kaw na magdecide.
marxman February 11th, 2009, 01:19 AM the cebu city economy, which, by the way, is already 76% services-based
anyway (agriculture - 8%, manufacturing - 16%).
mature na jud diay ang cebu city kay service-based ecnomoy nman ta. kay usually magstart na sa agriculture then develop into manufacturing and then m.mature into service and knowledge based economy.

Crown Regency has many restaurants to choose from sinj. i'm not sure with the rate but they have this buffet P699/pax i think, where you can cross-over Mr. Grill and Koti Japanese Restos, unlimited. :)
They have Sparkz Restaurant at the 37th floor buffet with free Sky ride. or Glo Cafe & Restaurant at the 2nd floor. i don't have the rates.
What about Waterfront's UNO? it's around 800++/pax sumthing, i read it in a newspaper. their food is great btw.

PINOYmeat February 11th, 2009, 06:17 AM Shipbuilder allots funds to expand Cebu plant, hire more workers
02/10/2009 | 10:22 PM
Email this | Email the Editor | Print | ShareThisMANILA, Philippines - Japanese shipbuilder Tsuneishi Heavy Industries (Cebu), Inc. will be spending P11 billion to expand its local facilities at its West Cebu Industrial Park in Balamban, Cebu.
The expansion, which requires an additional 90 hectares of land, will also employ an estimated 6,000 workers in the area, the company said.
With increased capacities, the company will be able to build vessels that can carry 250,000 dead weight tons, including bulk and container carriers, oil tankers, and special vessels that can carry motor vehicles.
Its output will be sold for its markets in Europe and Japan.
In August 1999, the company originally made vessel parts and engaged in engineering work.
Five years later in 2004, Tsuneishi began construction of slipways, a ramp allowing ships to be built and repaired.
Besides its core business, the company recently donated a school building worth P300 million and a P25 million hospital for the communities in which it operates.
The company is still enjoying the perks it received from the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA). - GMANews.TV

Mismo siya kabaw na nga unfair ang iyang gibuhat so maybe it wasn't so hard to convince him/her. I think he/she might have been a likeable person in real life. It's just that we can so easily get away with being rude or mean in the NET. The worst you can get is being flamed. It is harder to be rude and be mean when you are in front of an actual person. Bitaw, maayo unta maundang na ning kagobot. Nagkadugay, nagkangil-ad na man gud. I hope we Cebuanos do the same na lang pod.
Funny though, it shows how we and Davaoeneos are so much alike kay we can be fierce in defending our turf, our pride of place so to speak. I am excited and look forward to the next few years for both cities and what we can still accomplish at the rate we are going now.

Trust me it's not about your comment that he decided to shutdown his hate blog. Somebody or who is from City Hall learned about his blog's broadsided blog posts commented and threatened to sue him if he wishes to continue his scornful and contemptuous online activities.
The person's comment's was to a certain degree, threatening. According to what he wrote, he said that; (not in verbatim) the author of the blog (tagalasang) singlehandedly defamed Dongroy's character by creating a blog post about him attacking his persona. On the other hand, this person also said that tagalasang; the said author is going against the Cebu City government tarnishing it's image to the world. Or something like that.
So probably he got scared. Because as we have known it here on the internet, many bloggers were sued for libel and lost. Dili sad baya to maayo ang iyang gihimo. Below the belt na kaayo.

We should stop doing something because we realize it is wrong and offensive, and do something right because we know it's something good. Then again, maybe I'm too naive sometimes. Hehe.

KLAXXON February 11th, 2009, 07:48 AM If he (tagalasang) truly believed in his cause, he shouldn't have feared anything and continued his vexating behaviour. Right? I guess his disavowal of his formerly held illicit belief (shutting down his hate blog) is testament to admittance of guilt.

Sometimes, comments like this can entice a malicious mind to incarnate again and create another vicious cycle.

knowing where youre coming from, it doesnt surprise me why youre here and appear so self righteous and innocent.
well, "they" can always try..... and try..... and try... and try until they turn into green pseudoplasmic creatures. in the end, the lesson here is di lagi mag una una ug tira kay layo ug lagputan basta unhan ang mga kadugo ni lapulapu.
RonnieR February 11th, 2009, 08:58 AM Shipbuilder allots funds to expand Cebu plant, hire more workers
02/10/2009 | 10:22 PM
Email this | Email the Editor | Print | ShareThisMANILA, Philippines - Japanese shipbuilder Tsuneishi Heavy Industries (Cebu), Inc. will be spending P11 billion to expand its local facilities at its West Cebu Industrial Park in Balamban, Cebu.
The expansion, which requires an additional 90 hectares of land, will also employ an estimated 6,000 workers in the area, the company said.
With increased capacities, the company will be able to build vessels that can carry 250,000 dead weight tons, including bulk and container carriers, oil tankers, and special vessels that can carry motor vehicles.
Its output will be sold for its markets in Europe and Japan.
In August 1999, the company originally made vessel parts and engaged in engineering work.
Five years later in 2004, Tsuneishi began construction of slipways, a ramp allowing ships to be built and repaired.
Besides its core business, the company recently donated a school building worth P300 million and a P25 million hospital for the communities in which it operates.
The company is still enjoying the perks it received from the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA). - GMANews.TV
This is good news. Do you have any idea how many ships have been exported by this shipyard in Cebu?
May unity talaga ang mga Cebuano...proven, not only in SSC. :)
