CEBU CITY (PNA) — The Cebu City Treasurer's Office (CTO) has collected over P400 million in business taxes from thousands of taxpayers who trooped to City Hall to beat the deadline for the payment of business taxes Thursday.

The amount includes tax payment from schools who entered a compromise deal with the city, according to City Treasurer Ofelia Oliva.

She said their inventory shows there are at least 28,000 business establishments in the city and that their office has assessed more than 25,000 business establishments with P1.3 billion in tax fees.

Another potential BPO / Commercial complex in Mandaue City!

MANDAUE CITY, Cebu — Shemberg Manufacturing Corp., the country's top carrageenan manufacturer and exporter, announced Friday that it is selling its 18-hectare prime property in Basak, Mandaue City and is now aggressively looking for potential buyers, preferably those who are engaged in the business process outsourcing (BPO) sector, the company's top official said.

Shemberg Manufacturing Corp. Chief Executive Officer Benson Dakay said proceeds of the sale will be used to fund for the relocation of its seaweed processing facilities to Indonesia, as well as building modern seaweed processing factories in Cebu, and Zamboanga, which would all total approximately P1.5 billion in cost.

@eskeryon. sakto na imo sulti. I have also observed abroad that they use asphalt to pave the streets sa mga syudad and use cement and asphalt on freeways. It does makes it easy for the utilities if they have to do maintenance. Kas.a gabaha sa dalan duol sa balai, paka summer ilang giguba (a small part) ang dalan kai gitrabaho nila ang drainage and it only took them less than a week. Wala kaau ma inconvenience ang mga tawo kai nagamit ra dayon ang dalan.

3 Proposed Cebu Flyovers Bucked (http://www.mb.com.ph/articles/299817/3-proposed-cebu-flyovers-bucked)

CEBU CITY (PNA) — Cebu City officials have expressed objections to the plan of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) 7 to build three new flyovers in the different areas of the city.

The three flyovers will reportedly be built along Gen. Maxilom Ave., Gorordo Ave. near Asilo dela Milagrosa
Church and M.J. Cuenco near Carreta Cemetery.

Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama, Cebu City Traffic Operations Management (Citom) chairman Sylvan Jakosalem and Metro Cebu Traffic Council chairman Bunny Pages said the DPWH 7 should first finish the flyovers that have been left incomplete, such as the flyover on Archbishop Reyes Ave.

good, instead of building more of those eyesores, the national give more funding and priority to building a mass transit system for cebu, be it LRT, BRT, or a mix of both, i dont care, just get those jeepneys off the road

By the way, kinsay ni puli ni Sir Paul Villarete as Cebu City Planning and Development Coordinator?

Asa na ang unfinished flyover in Archbishop Reyes Avenue?

Anyway, agree ko anang flyover sa M.J. Cuenco Avenue, near carreta cemetery but not in Gen. Maxilom (Jollibee area going to old Sacred Heart School) and Gorordo (infront of Asilo Chapel).

Actually dugay naman hinuon ni nga project. Employees of Insular Life in Gen. Maxilom if I'm not mistaken have been consulted about the flyover project more than a decade ago pa cguro, hehehe..

I agree. The Germans do quality work and many others. I think we can have good, quality roads, too. It is just so disappointing that our government and these contractors they pick to do these projects chose not to. Kitang mga tawo ang makaluluoy because we have always been shortchanged.

Daghan pa man diay kaayo mi ug na-miss nga celebration sa Sinulog... next time bai slerz tho dili ko mag saad, paningkamotan nako nga mo-stay sa Cebu hangtud sa HUBO. :)

Cebu City is on world news:
Missing US sailboat from Guam found being escorted to Cebu City (http://www.boston.com/news/world/asia/articles/2011/01/23/missing_boat_with_5_americans_found_in_philippines/)
PCG spokesman Commander Armand Balilo,..“The Pineapple” was first spotted on Saturday by a PCG Islander search plane north-northwest of Dinagat Island and near Kanhandon Point, Hibuson Island.

Hibuson Island, located along Surigao Strait, is under the jurisdiction of the municipality of Loreto in Surigao del Norte.

The sailboat was set to arrive in Cebu City Sunday night or Monday morning.

http://www.boston.com/news/world/asia/articles/2011/01/23/missing_boat_with_5_americans_found_in_philippines/

Tamayo identified the passengers as Joe Gamec, Corey Goldhorn, Steven Blanton, Chris Bell and one female, Brandi Pratt. All are in good health.

According to Tamayo, the passengers said the sailboat “developed engine trouble during rough sea conditions” and was unable to make radio contact.
..It was able to make a confirmation only Sunday morning.

^^
taga asa ka bai? ask lang ko :)

^^

from Cebu City

bitaw bai nano kaha maka ingon ka hapit ta ma-apsan sa idak-on.. so theres nothing to worry kay naa pa coming sm nautilus, expansion sa acc ug robinson maxilom.

correct me if i'm wrong, pero murag hapit na lagi maapsan ang metro cebu sa davao sa number ug idak-on sa mga malls? :(

really? but I think we have the better malls, at least in design and ambience. SM Northwing, even by its relatively little size, beats humongous but bland MoA in interior design. The Terraces is at par, if not better than Greenbelt. Quality over quantity. :cheers:

correct me if i'm wrong, pero murag hapit na lagi maapsan ang metro cebu sa davao sa number ug idak-on sa mga malls? :(

^^ @achenar....i find your post intriguing...why the sad face? :lol: ...aren't you happy that developments are spreading accross the country? ...it's not an issue here if other cities have the biggest or the most number of malls...we can only be thankful that Cebu has never ran out of new projects... :okay:

anyhow, let's not delve into this matter as it will only create CvC :okay:..it's better we stick to the topic discussing Cebu's progress

correct me if i'm wrong, pero murag hapit na lagi maapsan ang metro cebu sa davao sa number ug idak-on sa mga malls? :(

please lang bai ayaw lang i compare sa lain lugar.....AS cebuano dili ta makig compete sa lain lugar other country lang....

sensya na sa outrage :hammer:

na-sad lang ko gamay kay basin ba ni-slow down na ang progress sa Cebu compared sa other cities :bash:

Bai wrong ka dili mahitabo maapsan beside Cebu is not competing with other places of our country.

^^ honestly, what i envy of Davao's is their infrastructure which their LGU had put them in place first before big developments came in...now, they have less problems about city roads, traffic, drainage, squatters etc....unlike in Cebu, our infrasture is still catching up (as of the moment) with the fast development in our city...

Can't help but comment pero medyo layo pa ang Davao oi! Sa karon, wala pay makatupong sa inyong SM og ACC kung sa VisMin lang.

And with Cebu slowing down, I don't think so. With the many years that I've stayed here, I think 2008-2009-2010 were the busiest years of Cebu when it comes to construction boom. Nagkadugay, nagkataas ang mga ginapangtukod nga buildings. Bilib pa kaayo ko sa mga surprises karong 2011.


and thanks to @diehardbisdak for the nice comment about Davao.

We'd love to see Davao have this progress that Cebu is experiencing now.:cheers:

May pagka sakto, pero duna sa'y kuwang! Ug sige lang unta kang suroy2x sa siyudad, makakita ka nga dako kaayo ang mga kausaban ug mga projects nga on-going!

Proof nga nagsige ug usab ang hitsura sa siyudad! Ang gidak-on sa siyudad, dili rason nga sobra ang problema; case in point -> naa nay north and south reclamation! Nidako na ang land area sa Cebu City.

Ug sige lang ug lingkod ang mga opisyal sa Sugbo, siguro mahitabo na'ng imong gipanulti! Sa pagka karon, wa pa ko'y nakita nga dako kaayong problema kay motabang man gyud ang tanan para sa kaayohan sa siyudad ug sa tibuok Cebu!

reclamation is one of the solutions, notice that our widest roads are at nra and srp. pero naa ra gihapon kinutuban ang pagreclaim. asa man ta mu-expand? cguro patagon nalang nato ang bukid. that will always be our problem bisan kinsa pa mulingkod sa posisyon.

there will come a time na the only available space for expansion is vertical.

^^

from Cebu City

sa Pasil ka gapuyo o sa Duljo. Basig Ermita kay gi demolish na ang mga illegal settlers ug gi evict na ang mga minatay kay gihimuan mga balay sa Gawad Kalinga, 300 units. :nuts:

I think Cebu can still be the most progressive city in the Philippines and even in Asia even if it has small roads.

Just look at Hong Kong, they have very narrow roads, they have limited land, bukid sila kasagaran, Cebu is even better than Hong Kong when it comes to having flat areas but look at what Hong Kong is now.

What is important is that we maintain our existing infrastructure, improve on what can be improved and what needs to be improved, be innovative in all aspects, streamline bureaucracy, promote Cebu more, and aim to be the best of all.

Dri sa Manhattan, NYC gasugod na building zoning height. Tungod sa infrastructure cannot support the number of people sa street space and the public transportations are not quick enough to move the people. OK lang sa lower Manhattan kay hapit every short blocks is a subway line. Naa unta gusto maghimo condo/apartment nga 60 storey gi balibaran maski dako footprint enough to meet the required area for the building. Most of Manhattan are granite rock.

robinsons should put up their biggest mall outside metromanila here in cebu city, to think that the gokongweis are from cebu city, the srp could be a good site for a robinsons mall complete with 8 cinemas, i remember that the cebu foodarama at mango avenue was also owned by the gokongweis , they should return their blessings to this city , :banana::banana:

^^ sa akong tan-aw bai, mora'g dili na na mahitabo (in our lifetime) to have their biggest mall in Cebu outside Manila...looking at their lot sa NRA, gamay ra man gani ang intended for commercial/mall area...ang about SRP, no chance to build one there because SM is enough already at SRP and i don't think Cebu LGU will allow that..

Bai which part sa Ayala mag expand that two towers?

^ go to ayala cebu thread bai for details

correct me if i'm wrong, pero murag hapit na lagi maapsan ang metro cebu sa davao sa number ug idak-on sa mga malls? :(


Question #1: at present what's the biggest mall in davao and try to compare to SM City-Cebu the 4th largest mall in the country and Ayala Center Cebu which is continuesly expanding? much more pag natukod ug mahuman ang another giant SM sa SRP much bigger than the current one :) more and more are in the pipeline like Robinsons Maxilum.

Question #2: unsay mga upcoming mall sa davao asides sa Abreeza? and i don't think Abreeza would be bigger than Ayala Center Cebu :ohno: do you think in 3 years time naa mo barog sa davao nga bag-ong mall na mas dako sa mga existing mall? considering nga walay bag-ong proposal nga na balita.

^^ it's SEX! (Self-EXplanatory) ....no need expound on that bai...na-kuwangan lang sa information si @achenar... :lol:

@achenar, you should read more and update yourself sa mga nahitabo dili lang sa imong lugar hasta pud sa laen para makita nimo ang deperensya! and naapasan na ang METRO CEBU sa davao lang sa kadaghanon og kadak-on sa mga malls? pwede mukatawa?! :lol::lol::lol: wala na lay kwenta ang SM-SRP, ACC expansion 2, Robinsons Maxilom, SM Consolacion, J Mall, etc. that would rise soon in different parts of the Metro and now you would say naapsan na ang Cebu sa Davao! pastilan! gigamyan ka ana nila bai?! mukatawa kog balik ha! :lol::lol::lol:

kung taga cebu gyud ka, nganung maghuna2x pa man ka nga maapsan na ang cebu sa davao has having most malls and bigger ones kaysa cebu?! which threads do you frequently visit ba?!?! if your really from cebu, better visit cebu threads and feed yourself more with information about what's in store in your city before you frequent other threads!

^^ og sa dhang mg duda sad ta if kamao ba ni sya mg basa2x sa mga balita og kalamboan diri sa Cebu.. Or basin lng jud naa xa sa usa ka secluded nga lugar nga limited ra ang access sa information, limanan ka ang kadak-on sa MALLS lng ang gi basihan .. Kangil-ngig oi!! :D :D

OK folks enough about ACHENAR and his questions. We don't want to ignite CvC. It's better if we stop replying on his questions. Better if we refer him to the archives of our threads and threads of other cities. I think he's old enough!

Let's move on!

really? haha :lol: where do you get your info?

as they say, cebu is second to none :cheers:

yeah but we could actually accept as being second lang bahala'g dili first coz for sure the one's next to cebu, is way far far below being in the third spot (they know who they are but always keep on denying!) :D:lol::D:lol:

^^ honestly, what i envy of Davao's is their infrastructure which their LGU had put them in place first before big developments came in...now, they have less problems about city roads, traffic, drainage, squatters etc....unlike in Cebu, our infrasture is still catching up (as of the moment) with the fast development in our city...

^^so what infrastructure does Davao city have that Cebu dont have?
its better to elaborate first than make a sweeping statement here....^^

deleted

really? but I think we have the better malls, at least in design and ambience. SM Northwing, even by its relatively little size, beats humongous but bland MoA in interior design. The Terraces is at par, if not better than Greenbelt. Quality over quantity. :cheers:

i like the abreeza design than the ayala in cebu, honestly...di lang kayo siya pareho kadak-on sa cebu. :)

sensya na sa outrage :hammer:

na-sad lang ko gamay kay basin ba ni-slow down na ang progress sa Cebu compared sa other cities :bash:

oki raman nang dili kayo dagko ang mall oi... mas maayo og mas nakatap ang paglambo sa negosyo even sa mga gagmayng magpapatigayon, og mas nindot kung maayo ang nahatag nga serbisyo sa gobyerno ngadto sa mga establishment gawas sa mall...sama sa maayong environment og security sa uban natong business districts like downtown og uptown... di malikayan pinoy ra jud pod tingali kayo kag mentalidad, ulit kayo og mga mall! :lol:

^^ yes, it is bai @zub...perhaps, it is getting older...the Abreeza kumbaga, it's the latest model...

^^so what infrastructure does Davao city have that Cebu dont have?
its better to elaborate first than make a sweeping statement here....^^

...read my post one more time...i did not say Davao has this and Cebu does not have this...everyone is smart enough to understand what i mean...no need to elaborate! :okay:

My brother who works in Davao City visits Cebu City on his way to Manila where his family resides. He is surprised that the downtown area of Cebu City is so crowded and has so many people just like in Manila. He could not say the same thing about Davao City. Davao City is still far from the situation of Cebu and Manila!

We must understand that Davao City has an area of almost one half the total area of the province of Cebu! A big part of the city are hinterlands and rural areas. Its commercial district is small. Population-wise, Davao City has less people than Cebu City on a per area basis. Cebu City is also richer than Davao City on a per capita-basis. Metro Cebu is two times bigger than Metro Davao in population.

well i guess not everyone..you have the moral obligation being a Cebu Forumer to elaborate it lest we will construe it as a highly irresponsible sweeping statement.

Heres your statement.. basin nataligam an nimo;

^^ let the forumers decide...you were the only one reacting :lol:

reclamation is one of the solutions, notice that our widest roads are at nra and srp. pero naa ra gihapon kinutuban ang pagreclaim. asa man ta mu-expand? cguro patagon nalang nato ang bukid. that will always be our problem bisan kinsa pa mulingkod sa posisyon.

there will come a time na the only available space for expansion is vertical.

sa tinuod lang walay maayong implementation ang local nga gobyerno sa cebu kabahin sa standard of easement sa buildings...wala mag allowance daan, tukod sa kay tukod lang og building nga wa motuman sa balaod...tan-awa ang area nga maoy bag-o sa cebu city, maoy gip-ot hinuon kaayo...tan-awa ang banilad, talamban, panag-dait/mabolo, labangon, banawa...grabe kapidpid ang mga building sa dalan...maayo pa ang old downtown cebu (colon and cityhall area) og jones avenue miski karaan na naa jud hingsubay sa saktong pagprovide og sidewalk and setbacks sa dalan, may pang mga karaang taw advance pag pangutok!!!! di ko mo-uyon anang isturya nga tungod gamay ang cebu maong gip-ot kayo atong dalan, mabaw kayo nga rason, og murag dili jud siya saktong rason! daghan man gagmay pas cebu nga maayo pagkahan-ay labi na ilang major roads og duna juy saktong sidewalks para dili mojoin ang pedestrian makigkumbatis mga truck :lol.. we are not talking only of cebu city, its the whole of metro cebu, dili ta ingon ana kagamay! dako2x pod ta nga urban area oi, giunsa ba nimo pagestimate????:...way ayo atong city planning og implementation sa balaod sa syudad, mao nay saktong rason, di na angay modeny ta ani og magpakabuta bungol!!!!:nuts:

i would like to rephrase my question based on your statement..

Can you elaborate the infrastructure that Davao LGU had put in place.. which Cebu LGU does not possibly do? Am interested to know..

as i said to you thru PM... last na gyud ni nga mupatol ko nimo...amen!


then shut your mouth will you? if you are not sure of what your talking?
you will do a good service to SSC Cebu if you do that.. :)

^^ :lol: OMG! ...di ba you said to me thru PM nga ni-decide ang entire SSC-Cebu thru your meetings to ignore me? ...so, nganong mupatol pa man ko nimo? :lol:

^^ nag regret gyud ko nganong nitubag pa gyud ko in the first place! naka-promise na man unta ko... :lol:

I think Cebu can still be the most progressive city in the Philippines and even in Asia even if it has small roads.

Just look at Hong Kong, they have very narrow roads, they have limited land, bukid sila kasagaran, Cebu is even better than Hong Kong when it comes to having flat areas but look at what Hong Kong is now.

What is important is that we maintain our existing infrastructure, improve on what can be improved and what needs to be improved, be innovative in all aspects, streamline bureaucracy, promote Cebu more, and aim to be the best of all.


:banana: :banana:

i agree jud..we dont need to expand that much sa ato roads specially in the old cebu, downtown and uptown...what we need more is to regulate and improve human traffic and promote pedestrianisation on some of our narrow downtown streets, also provide better service to our vendors so they wont sell their goods just anywhere in the city, build a decent and huge public market..and of course an efficient mass transport system preferably the BRT and make it extensive reaching many areas and destination points around the metro...create a more effective urban planning and zoning that reflects the city's distinct character and setting, make the city more compact and avoid suburban sprawl to minimize the need for more vehicles running in and out of the main urban center....plus make the city green, clean and organized so we wont feel that cebu city is small and suffocating...so we can breath cebus fresh tropical breeze and feel its harmonious urban soul!!! :)

@Henz: I think what diehardbisdak is trying to say is that Davao City has a very wide land area, most of it undeveloped, and that fact has given their local government unit the opportunity to lay out a network of wide roads and necessary infrastructure.

On the other hand, the same could not be done to Cebu as it is a colonial city, developed with narrow roads since centuries ago. As much as we'd like to widen all our roads, we simply can't as most of the areas are already developed and getting road right-of-way is close to impossible.

Peace namo uy, hehehe...

^^ :okay: check! 5 stars ka @sinj :lol:

then shut your mouth will you? if you are not sure of what your talking?
you will do a good service to SSC Cebu if you do that.. :)

at zuburbs i agree with you.. we have alot of ill maintained roads. i know that for sure because i am always at the road everyday... i am not countering him........ i am just asking him to elaborate his statement .. about infrastructure put by the respective LGU's so we can discuss how do we go about it... I am not even pinpointing anything about sa Cebu... i just need clarification so everybody will know... what do you think at zuburbs.. is that something to be nuts about?

but to correct you not all infras of cebu are gubot and way ayo... because if tana gubot and way ayo.. those investors we have are not coming in.. di ba?

we all now na karaang syudad ang cebu mao na nga wala ma tarong ug han-ay ang mga dalan. with all the rapid developments in cebu, our infra has still a long way to go to catch up. same cannot be said with newer cities since they learned from older cities so they were able to plan ahead, and zone their cities properly.

it won't be the most progresive city even in the philippines because cebu city is not as promising as makati,taguig,manila...maybe as one of the best city in the philippines,cebu city has it's rival mandaue city and lapu-lapu city,lapu-lapu is promissing because of the airport,yacht clubs,marina,oil depots, and being the tourism spot in cebu island and soon an international port,

if you mean metro cebu it speaks metropolis and there is manila which is now transforming into a global city by 2030,both of them had squaters and informal settlers,they both whatever you want to see in those two metropolis
, if you mean island of cebu the luzon is greater land area....the population and being a capital region in the country could not be surpass by any city except singapore, even bankok,kl and jakrta is far from manila, the monetary status also speaks in ratio to population...jakarta is mora populous than manila but the tradings and industry manila is rich.

in terms of beautification or beautiful city,a lot of things to clean up the mess in our philippine cities

rapid ang development sa cebu buot pasabaot rapid sab ang kita sa national government gikan sa cebu (sa SRP lang kita na sila). pero ang national roads tawon pasagdan ra mao naghuot na ang cebu (tanawa ra Escario kadugay na ana). hinay ra kaayo ang suporta sa national government. mantiner lang 2-lane flyover. naa pa sharing sa IRA padag-hanay sa population ug padak-anay sa yuta. naa pa mga torista daghan nag suroy-suroy mao samok gyud tinuod ang cebu :)

the gdp of metro manila is $149 billion, the philippines gdp is $320 billion, and gdp shares of the philippines, ncr is 32.6, luzon is 32.2 , visayas 16.5 ,mindanao 17.7, that's why we the people in visayas must do hard to even the gdp of luzon

bai, for the purposes of discussion, it seems that your'e saying that cebu is not as promising as the cities you have mentioned because we have next door rivals, Mandaue and Lapu2x... but isnt it the same for these cities? Metro Manila has like what, 16/17? cities? so if we take your logic, wouldnt that make Makati less promising since it has 16 next door rivals? Taguig has 16 next door rivals. manila also. and so on. just my thoughts.

mao sad na ang problema. Sa budgeting lang, kuwang ra gyud kaayo ang kwarta sa ciudad. My father knows that coz naa siya sa budget dep't tanan budget sa ciudad mo agi sa iyang kamot, tig han-ay sa budgetonon. So kung sa pag ayo ra sa mga roads, we can blame the national government tungod sa kuwangan ang suporta interms of infra but interms sa cleanliness, diha na nato lat-an atong LGU kay murag kuwang gyud ilang pagpakabana sa cleanliness.

do you guys knows the history of gokongwei,gotianum,gothong ang go of eber gotesco????what are their relationships

taguig is coming up leaving behind some cities,, and metro manila cities have their own skylines and business districts

Valid man ang mga arguments concerning infrastructure sa Cebu which is fast detoriating but of course naa sad ta mga superior infrastructures comparable even to Manila. I do not dispel any arguments in relation to it but of course it is our responsibility as a forumer since we also need to be circumspect in making a sweeping statement.

I believe we need now to have a sort of MMDA and revive the MCDP..ASAP.. This will greatly help in identifying and maintaining METRO Cebu's infrastructures to the highest level. ^^

taguig is coming up leaving behind some cities,, and metro manila cities have their own skylines and business districts



ehehe, Sir this is Cebu thread. If you will continue about your kind of post, magkagubot gyud ta ani. So please avoid nalang the comparison...:okay:

actually am still in the process of sorting what this megatall guy is trying to imply in the Cebu Thread...

At megatall may i ask what is your point ba in making all those statements?

speaking of infra, what ever happened to the alphalt storm that was planned last year by the city govt? also sa super beautification council?

Sir, ask lang ko ha, ayg lainag sabot...ehehe

What if as of now limpyo ang streets sa Cebu. Less squatters due to good governance. Better traffic regulations thus less traffic problem... BUT SAME INFRA AS OF NOW. Would you still envy them?

^^ i can't give you an answer bai because that's entirely a different story...it's not "envy" as in the true sense of the word...it's more of like an "appreciation" or giving a "compliment" of what their city has done..we may have similar infrastructure (read: i did not make a sweeping statement about things we don't have that Davao has)...it's all about the rapid development of our city that makes our infrastructure inferior...and regarding the impossibility of road widening etc., i understand that we've had this situation from long time ago but i believe faith can move mountains as they say, but money can move everything, however, that is what we lack of, the funds to do these things...as cliche as it may sound, if there is a will, there's a way and our LGU can do those things if they have to...

speaking of infra, what ever happened to the alphalt storm that was planned last year by the city govt? also sa super beautification council?

the latest bai na ako nabasahan kay.. nag release ug P/ 100 million ra jud tawon for both North and South districts..

Sa Mandaue and Lapu-Lapu goodluck na lang........ Lapu-Lapu Sts. are literally deteriorating to the max...:bash::bash:

re: road widening

if we have an effective mass transpo system, then people would not have to use their cars, then there will be lesser vehicles on our narrow streets, minimizing the need for widening. also, since mas gamay na lng ang mogamit sa dalan, mas dili abog, mas dili dali maguba/maliba-ong ug mas safer para sa pedestrians. :)

taguig is coming up leaving behind some cities,, and metro manila cities have their own skylines and business districts

Well Taguig's progress lays mainly in its proximity from Makati, so in many ways it is just a very large satellite (Taguig) of Makati... Taking that as an analogy, If CBP-Asiatown is the "Makati" of Cebu, can we say that SRP is its "Taguig"?

speaking of infra, what ever happened to the alphalt storm that was planned last year by the city govt? also sa super beautification council?

mao na diha kutob ras news..karon wa na...propaganda ra to

ofcourse,manila has 16 cities and one municipality,every city has competition by itself,makati tops the rest because of good governance and quezon city for tax collection because of its 2.7 million people and big land area....also as cebu...don't count others as you mention to one subject....city to a city and metropolis to a metropolis...that's the fact....:banana::banana::cheers::cheers:

the rich and famous businessmen are in makati. head offices of big corporations are in makati. these tax-payers made makati on top not just because of good governance. look at the buildings in makati, how much real propery and business taxes can makati collect from the owners of those buildings:)

i think MM will always be the capital (political and economic)

MC will always be the queen

MD, CdO, Pampanga, Baguio, etc. will always be those progressive, supporting cities to the throne. :nuts:


unless there is a change in the form of gov't. but i don't see that happening soon.

My brother who works in Davao City visits Cebu City on his way to Manila where his family resides. He is surprised that the downtown area of Cebu City is so crowded and has so many people just like in Manila. He could not say the same thing about Davao City.

"Man can make System great; it isn't System which makes Man great"

what a conflicting statement: davao city is one half the size of the province of cebu and yet metro cebu is twice the size of metro davao. where's the fuzzy math? lol

^^ i can't give you an answer bai because that's entirely a different story...it's not "envy" as in the true sense of the word...it's more like of "appreciation" or giving "compliment" of what their city has done..we may have similar infrastructure (read: i did not make a sweeping statement about things we don't have that Davao has)...it's all about the rapid development of our city that makes our infrastructure inferior...and regarding the impossibility of road widening etc., i understand that we've had this situation from long time ago but i believe faith can move mountains as they say, but money can move everything, however, that is what we lack of, the funds to do these things...as cliche as it may sound, if there is a will, there's a way and our LGU can do those things if they have to...


yeah that's my point. If you're true to your statement that you envy them, bisag ang infra sa Cebu mao gihapon ron (pero maayo pagka gam, maayo pagka limpyo, maayo pagka govern, ofcourse ma lesser gyud ang problem) you will still envy them right? Coz you're refering to the set up of both cities, not of what our local officials can do.

So for a conclusion, you're not happy of the current set up of Cebu from then until now (bisag maayo pa pagka dala or dili)... kay you envy man that their LGU made their infra better first (like road widenings) before the development unlike in cebu nga nag una ang development kaysa infra nga kahibaw naman ta nga na una naman gyud ang developments kaysa infra nga dili na pwede ma improve (interms of size) coz the city is old.

So Para nimo, mas gitagaan nimog gibug-aton nga sayop ang set up sa Cebu sa iyang pagka old city rather than ang sayop sa atong local government tungod kay wa nila atimana ang infras...

mas mo uyon pako nimo bai kung mo ingon ka nga I envy their local government coz they do something sa cleanliness and good governance.:yes:

what a conflicting statement: davao city is one half the size of the province of cebu and yet metro cebu is twice the size of metro davao. where's the fuzzy math? lol

i think hes referring to the population.. if am not mistaken..:)

ibutang na si duterte dri sa cebu, dili ba mo-ulbo ang kaspa ana kung unsaon pagdumala sa atong ciudad.

as i've said earlier, the problem of cebu is not only built-in but it is ever changing as pace of progress is faster than the time you can fix the roads.

lisod mahimong lider og ciudad na sama sa sugbu.

i don't blame our LGUs.

:yes:

^^ i'll throw back the question to you bai....did our LGU see this coming? or, they did not make a concrete plan at all? ...like approving projects (next to national roads) without making any consideration what will happen in the future...basta lang magka-project, ayos na..

ibutang na si duterte dri sa cebu, dili ba mo-ulbo ang kaspa ana kung unsaon pagdumala sa atong ciudad.

yeah right pero bisag ang pag han ay lang unta sa kadalanan, mabuhat mana sa atong LGU ba pero nagpabaya man gihapon sila. Mas okay baya nga libaongon ang dan per lipyo kaysa libaongon pa ang dan pero daghan pag basura... aw di nasad na maayo...:yes:

gi-aspalto og giayo man ang dalan... unsaon, gi-agian man dayon og 10-wheeler gikan sa pier... guba gihapon...

nindot kaau to ang dalan padulong cicc atong asean summit, pero unsaon, agi-anan man tawon na og mga container vans. resulta, liba-on dayon wa maabti og tuig

just to cite an example, bai

Yeah, sayop gyud siya ana. But you're refering to what was built first which is the infras, not of the LGU's plans of approving such permits.

^^ honestly, what i envy of Davao's is their infrastructure which their LGU had put them in place first before big developments came in...now, they have less problems about city roads, traffic, drainage, squatters etc....unlike in Cebu, our infrasture is still catching up (as of the moment) with the fast development in our city...

lahi naman na imong gi tubag. You're refering to the infrastructure baya. Dili ang pagpataka lang og patukod sa mga buildings.
Kung mao na imong pasabot, mo uyon gyud ko ana nga nagpabaya sila ana kay pataka ra silag patukod.

which their LGU put them in place first.
so you're refering to what they built FIRST.
you're not refering KUNG GI UNSA NILA pag pahimutang sa infra.
lahi kaayo nang duha baya:yes:

gi-aspalto og giayo man ang dalan... unsaon, gi-agian man dayon og 10-wheeler gikan sa pier... guba gihapon...

just to cite an example, bai

akong pasabot ang kalimpyo man bai... Kahibaw na ko anag gasto baya sa aspalto og kanang lane divider nga pintal nga puti nga mga 1 million per kilometer gud na. I understand nga way budget ana.

Ang kalimpyo labi na sa Magellans Cross or Plaza Sugbo(bisag kana lang ang i-maintain nila), di man tingali kinahanglan og aspalto para ma limpyo lang nag Plaza Sugbo...:yes:

One solution is to make narrow streets one way in the old part of the city. A lot of places can still be widen to four lanes at least because the buildings and houses are not huge or too expensive expropriate by the city. The street where my house and the neighborhood in Labangon where notified way back in the 90's that it will be widen as an alternate route of V.Rama which run parallel. Until now wa pa.

the latest bai na ako nabasahan kay.. nag release ug P/ 100 million ra jud tawon for both North and South districts..

Sa Mandaue and Lapu-Lapu goodluck na lang........ Lapu-Lapu Sts. are literally deteriorating to the max...:bash::bash:

Naka agi ko last September sa LapuLapu, nga cementado ang dan pero adunay mga dagkong libaong duol sa nindot nga subdivision. Mura mantong bang-ong cemento nga wa tiwasa. unya kadaghan tricyle sa major roads. :ohno: :nuts: :bash: :bash: :bash:

the rich and famous businessmen are in makati. head offices of big corporations are in makati. these tax-payers made makati on top not just because of good governance. look at the buildings in makati, how much real propery and business taxes can makati collect from the owners of those buildings:)

there is a rivalry at all,the businessmens can put up their business anywhere in manila,the city governance has their own style of gaininf both local and foreign investors...makati now eton city in sta. rosa.laguna is the future...

Well Taguig's progress lays mainly in its proximity from Makati, so in many ways it is just a very large satellite (Taguig) of Makati... Taking that as an analogy, If CBP-Asiatown is the "Makati" of Cebu, can we say that SRP is its "Taguig"?

no,asiatown is in cebu city itself, taguig is taguig city,fort bonifacio was a military lot in makati but taguig fought back their rights that's why they got taguig, businessmens can put their business anywhere they want,taguig's promising location makes taguig a global city,not only it is near in makati but it is closer to the naia,pasig,and mandaluyong and they have bicutan district which is an industrial area...every city in manila has it's own governanace and independence,many mayors had conflicts by their co-mayors in the metro,even mmda cannot do to a city or town in metro manila....taguig city will feel insulted if you say they are extension of makati, one more, ortigas center is bounded by three cities,mandaluyong,qc,and pasig,sm megamall isin pasig,robinson's galeria is bouded by this 3 cities,the collection of taxes depends on your location inside the mall,in pioneer(robinson mall) the new growth in mandaluyong,before, you can take a one ride tricycle from kapitolyo in psig to pioneer,mandaluyong,but now in less than a kilometer you will take 2 short rides because of conflict of pasig and mandaluyong government

what a conflicting statement: davao city is one half the size of the province of cebu and yet metro cebu is twice the size of metro davao. where's the fuzzy math? lol

bai, city to city,metropolis to metropolis,province to province,region to region and island to island comparison...metro cebu is 2.3 million inhabitants while davao is 2.1 million inhabitants, metrocebu is 1,016.16 square kilometer and metro davao is 3,798.9 square kilometer

read all the posts before you comment,this is an open forum...:bash::bash::bash::bash::bash::bash::bash::bash::bash:

My brother who works in Davao City visits Cebu City on his way to Manila where his family resides. He is surprised that the downtown area of Cebu City is so crowded and has so many people just like in Manila. He could not say the same thing about Davao City. Davao City is still far from the situation of Cebu and Manila!

We must understand that Davao City has an area of almost one half the total area of the province of Cebu! A big part of the city are hinterlands and rural areas. Its commercial district is small. Population-wise, Davao City has less people than Cebu City on a per area basis. Cebu City is also richer than Davao City on a per capita-basis. Metro Cebu is two times bigger than Metro Davao in population.

This is it! This is really it!

http://investinghabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/exterior-1a1.jpg

Cebu Holdings Inc. (CHI) together with mother company Ayala Land broke ground for Ayala Center Cebu's Final Phase earlier today! On its 16th year, Ayala Center Cebu is stepping up to the challenge to develop environmentally-sustainable projects that will enhance its develoment and operational processes for resource conservation to finally complete Cebu’s Ayala Mall.

Phase 2-B will omplete the circular design of the mall which also serves as the center-piece of the mixed-used development within the masterplan of Cebu Business Park. Scheduled to be completed in 2013, the four-level structure will add more than 36,000 square meters of leasable space.

This expansion will be an upscale retail development providing high-end outlets and premium finishes for the more discerning shoppers. It will house a mix of luxury signature brands, fashion forward brands, information technology outlets, techtronics, home furnishing and a few carefully selected dining and lifestyle concepts.

Seamlessly connected to the existing mall and The Terraces, the architecture of the building — from the entrance and facade, to its interiors — will be upscale in nature, with an impressive sense of arrival. The over-all ambiance will be enhanced with elegant but warm lighting. The development will have areas for social interaction equipped with premium furnishings customized for the purpose. The common area and walkways will provide excellent connectivity with the existing mall and its surrounding areas. Some areas will be highlighted by creating special features, themes or treatments, to create interest points.

http://investinghabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/exterior-2.jpg

An impressive, well-lit atrium will house intimate events. The expansion will also have generous outdoor greenbelt at the roof deck, interspersed with greens, water features and dramatic hardscape. This will be another distinguishing landmark of the mall and will serve as a convergence area for the various components of this mixed-use development.

This new development will have all the compelling extras one can find in an Ayala Mall, such as a Family Lounge, a Customer Lounge, and Concierge counters among others.

Other features include:

- Four Levels of retail outlets
- Three levels of an anchor store (Supermarket/Department Store) - RUSTAN'S
- Three levels of basement parking
- A Multi-purpose hall
- A Cinema
- Gardens at the 4th level

http://investinghabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/interior2a.jpg

Environment friendly/Sustainable features:

WATER CONSERVATION
The design of this new section of the mall will integrate grey water recycling where wastewater from the mall operations will be processed and used for landscaping irrigation, for the building’s cooling towers and for the flushing of water closets in the mall’s restrooms.

ENERGY CONSERVATION
To take advantage of natural light during the day, the four-level structure will have clerestories. In contrast to the usual skylights, clerestories are windows at the side of the structure to avoid direct sunlight from coming thus requiring less air-conditioning to keep the area cool.

The expansion will also use green roofs for passive cooling. Landscaping will be created on the roof to provide insulation against the heat of the sun. This provides helps regulate building temperatures and reduced urban heat-island effects.

The design also incorporates a district cooling system, the centralized production and distribution of cooling energy. Chilled water is delivered via an underground insulated pipeline to cool the indoor air of the buildings within a district. Specially designed units in each building then use this water to lower the temperature of air passing through the building’s air conditioning system. This district cooling is a suitable solution for mixed-use developments.

WASTE SEGREGATION AT SOURCE
As with the existing mall, the retail outlets at the expansion will be practicing waste segregation at source. This lessens the amount of residual waste brought to the landfill and provides materials for recycling for the neighboring communities of the mall and Cebu Business Park.

http://investinghabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/interior3a.jpg

The budget for this expansion will play around 2-3 Billion Pesos. A lot of brands from Greenbelt 5 and Glorietta 4 will be making their debut in Cebu.

Zoning:
1st floor - Upscale Brands
2nd floor - Affordable and Friendly brands
3rd floor - IT based/Technology
4th floor - Specialty

Sige lang og wa'y kwarta ang gobyerno, pero makagasto og pa-imprinta's ilang mga dagway...Hasta pagpasiga sa mga suga sa kadalanan, ang uban private sector na ang nag-abaga! Ang Fuente Osmena, private sector na ang nag-atiman! Hasta'ng mga police stations, private sector gihapon. Hasta pagpatuman sa mga ordinansa, wa gihapon ayo! UNSA NAMAN LANG DIAY PULOS ANANG ATO GOBYERNO?

Ayala begins construction of next development phase
SunStar Online
Tuesday - January 25, 2011

AYALA Center Cebu yesterday started work on its four-level expansion that is set to complete the retail development within the nine-hectare centerpiece of Cebu Business Park (CBP).

AyalaLand Inc. president Antonino Aquino said in a press conference yesterday that the expansion the Ayala Center Cebu reflects the interest of the company here.

“We have seen so much progress in Cebu and we want to be part of this development,” Aquino said, referring to the series of developments launched since last year at the CBP and the Asiatown IT Park.

Cebu Holdings Inc., an affiliate of AyalaLand Inc., is setting aside close to P3 billion for the mall’s expansion, which will be completed in 2013.

The Ayala Center Cebu expansion is positioned to be an upscale retail development with high-end outlets. It will house a mix of luxury signature brands, fashion forward brands, information technology outlets, techtronics, home furnishing and dining and lifestyle concepts.

The development will have four levels of retail outlets, three levels of an anchor store, three levels of basement parking, a multi-purpose hall, a cinema and gardens at the fourth level.

The four-level structure will have a total of 36,000 square meters of leasable spaces.

Aside from the relocation of Rustan’s Department Store, Ayala Malls Group senior division manager Clavel Tongco told reporters they have a long list of merchants waiting for spaces in the mall’s new phase.

She identified Zara, an international clothing brand, as among those that will expand operations in Cebu.

“We are definitely bringing the merchants of Greenbelt 5 and Glorietta 4 that will also have their first stores here in Cebu,” Tongco said.

She is confident that these brands will have a share in the Cebu market, considering the market studies they conducted prior to the plans of expansion.

Strong interest

“There is a strong interest in the Cebu market. Even foreign brands that don’t have stores in Manila yet are bullish on Cebu,” said AyalaLand-Ayala Malls Group vice president Rowena Tomeldan.

She said that aside from bringing international brands here, the mall will also be allocating spaces for Cebu-based concepts.

“We will not just bring luxury brands but also affordable and budget-friendly brands,” Tomeldan said.

Aquino said the mall’s expansion is also meant to support Cebu’s growing industries like tourism and business process outsourcing. He said the company will not stop looking for opportunities to grow business here.

Ayala Center Cebu’s average year-on-year growth is over 10 percent. The mall expects to grow at the same rate this year.

Ayala Land’s Cebu unit breaks ground for mall expansion
Business World Online
25 January 2011

CEBU CITY -- Ayala-led Cebu Holdings, Inc. yesterday broke ground for the P2.8-billion expansion of its mall, the latest in a string of projects launched by Ayala Land, Inc. and its affiliates and subsidiaries since last year in Cebu.
“This reflects the major interest that Ayala has in Cebu. We are pleased with all our investments here,” said Ayala Land President Antonino T. Aquino.

Mr. Aquino added the firm is continuously on the lookout for opportunities in this city as well as in other areas of Cebu province.

The expansion project will complete the circular design of Ayala Center Cebu and bring merchants from Makati’s Greenbelt 5 and Glorietta 4, among others, to Cebu, said Clavel G. Tongco, senior division head for Ayala Malls. “They (merchants) will have their first stores in Cebu,” she added.

More than 36,000 square meters, about a third of the existing leasable space at the mall, will be added. Construction of the four-level expansion is expected to be completed by 2013.

The new wing will also house a bigger Rustan’s Department Store and Supermarket, which will serve as anchor store. A significant feature will be the garden at the roofdeck, which is envisioned to serve as a “convergence” area.

The mall, which serves as the centerpiece of the 50-hectare Cebu Business Park, has been posting an average revenue growth of 10% year on year, said mall manager Joy Polloso.

This year, another 10% growth is projected on the back of a strong business process outsourcing sector in Cebu, she added.

The bigger mall is envisioned to serve the retail requirements of the growing community at the Cebu Business Park and the nearby Asiatown IT Park.

Ayala Land has brought its residential condominium brands to the two masterplanned communities.

@Henz: I think what diehardbisdak is trying to say is that Davao City has a very wide land area, most of it undeveloped, and that fact has given their local government unit the opportunity to lay out a network of wide roads and necessary infrastructure.

On the other hand, the same could not be done to Cebu as it is a colonial city, developed with narrow roads since centuries ago. As much as we'd like to widen all our roads, we simply can't as most of the areas are already developed and getting road right-of-way is close to impossible.

Peace namo uy, hehehe...

tama ka dyan sinj. yes guys peace na mo ha? puro baya ta taga cebu. we must love each other hehehehehhehehayyyyyyyyyyyy.

Taympa .. Nganung naay isa diri na nag yawyaw about Metro Manila. Taguig etc.? LOL! :D

mao sad na ang problema. Sa budgeting lang, kuwang ra gyud kaayo ang kwarta sa ciudad. My father knows that coz naa siya sa budget dep't tanan budget sa ciudad mo agi sa iyang kamot, tig han-ay sa budgetonon. So kung sa pag ayo ra sa mga roads, we can blame the national government tungod sa kuwangan ang suporta interms of infra but interms sa cleanliness, diha na nato lat-an atong LGU kay murag kuwang gyud ilang pagpakabana sa cleanliness.

Kung innovative lang ang taga city council, pwede man na i-parayeg sa mga dagko nga negosyante. For example, I will ask five or ten business entities unya sangunan nako paghimo nga nidot sa usa ka parte sa siyudad--> chargeable against sa ilang tax-payable for a period! Nahimo man na sa ubang siyudad, sa Cebu City pa kaha! Dili lang gyud siguro gusto mamenos ang panudlanan kay . . . ana man!

Taympa .. Nganung naay isa diri na nag yawyaw about Metro Manila. Taguig etc.? LOL! :D

Oopppsss! Maayo kay nakabantay ka! Wa man lang ko ana manumbaling ana niya bai kay nagka-tubagay mi ana sa lain nga thread, mora ug way klaro! Hehehe! Mo-reply pero sibag man ang tubag, iyang punto ra ang sige ug balik!

ibutang na si duterte dri sa cebu, dili ba mo-ulbo ang kaspa ana kung unsaon pagdumala sa atong ciudad.

as i've said earlier, the problem of cebu is not only built-in but it is ever changing as pace of progress is faster than the time you can fix the roads.

lisod mahimong lider og ciudad na sama sa sugbu.

i don't blame our LGUs.

ang mayor sa tagum maoy angay ibutang diri sa cebu city, diba bongga kayo tag street level! hahaha! ayaw lang si duterte please...hahaha

Yeah, sayop gyud siya ana. But you're refering to what was built first which is the infras, not of the LGU's plans of approving such permits.



lahi naman na imong gi tubag. You're refering to the infrastructure baya. Dili ang pagpataka lang og patukod sa mga buildings.
Kung mao na imong pasabot, mo uyon gyud ko ana nga nagpabaya sila ana kay pataka ra silag patukod.

which their LGU put them in place first.
so you're refering to what they built FIRST.
you're not refering KUNG GI UNSA NILA pag pahimutang sa infra.
lahi kaayo nang duha baya:yes:

the over-all planning of cebu and implementations of zoning and building standards are all fractions of the whole infras of the city....angay sila magcoordinate tanan para makamugna og insaktong proyekto para dili lang pangtapal apan para sa mo-abutay nga kalambo-an sa sugbo...mura man og modepensa man jud mo aning mga way ayo nga mga politiko...murag duna moy kahadlok..:ohno:

Unsay nakaon ani niya?..

Naka kaon itats... :lol: Hapit tanan thread gi sudlan unya makiglalis pa ang amaw. :bash: :bash: :bash: hasta si Paul lalisan pa niya s BRT thread ug sa infrastructure. :ohno:

ang mayor sa tagum maoy angay ibutang diri sa cebu city, diba bongga kayo tag street level! hahaha! ayaw lang si duterte please...hahaha

^^mingaw pa sa cementeryo ilang New Year kai walay libintador. :nuts: :ohno:

don't you guys think that we lack funds for street level beautification and development because of our SRP utang? our former mayor was just thinking ahead of the future. cguro, we have to be patient lang usa with our imperfections right now kay in due time, mabayran ang loan ang mugenerate na og income ang SRP, then we can concentrate on street level development.

yeah Sir I understand but in history of SSC... posts that may lead to CVC or that can provoke CVC should be avoided...thanks:)bai unsa meaning sa cvc??:)

lol... wa gyud diay ka kasabot sa akong pronsipyo Dong Ranz sa? Abi nakog bilib ka nako kay di di gyud ko mmahadlok sa akong mga isulti...:D Ang akong gi explain ni @Diehard ang difference man sa iyang gi sulti... wa man nagpasabot nga ni uyon ko sa mga di maayong butang sa mga pulitiko.

Kung sa reklamo ra anang mga problema sa mga politiko, di na ma ihap akong gi reklamo anang mga politikoha nga nahatagan og solusyon through radio. Og mga reklamo nga mag ginagmay nga di angay nga i-tolerate sama nianang simple nga mga traffic rules. Pangutan a na ang mga kuyog nako nga mga taga SSC Cebu nga sila Johnnex or Redjie nga unsay naay di maayo nga among makita, aggressive kaayo ko mo reklamo to the point nga mo ingon nalang sila nga "ayaw nalang uy" pero ang akong gi huna huna sila man sad nga na biktima. Mga barkada nako, asa man mo duol sama sa problema sa tunnel about sa kakuwang sa signage, ari nako but I make it sure nga mo abot gyud sa city hall akong mga di maayong nahitabo sa syudad tungod aning mga politiko nga way ayo. Kanang Magellans Cross, kilid anang karaang BPI building nga sa una nag lunang nang tubig diha... kinsa may hinungdang nganong nalimpyo na diha? sa dihag wala nako hunongi nag sigeg reklamo sa ABS nga na pugos si Rama og susi anag personal.
Bisag si Sir Paul gani nga amigo nato pero sa reklamohay na, mo sulti baya gyud ko kung unsay dapat isulti nga yangungo.

Usa rako ka ordinaryong Sugbuanon pero nga daghag reklamo pero I'm make sure nga naa gyud koy buhaton about sa problem. Kana akong mga reklamo diri sa SSC about sa pagpabaya anang mga pulitiko, dili lang na kutob diri sa SSC, mo abot pa gyud nag radyo hangton na didto sa City Hall.

Kung duna koy kahadlok, dili ko makig lalis anang Leo Lastimosa, Sir Paul, Mike Rama og uban pa bisag dapig ko ana nila pero kung naa silay sayop, di ko mahadlok makig argue nila. So tell me again Dong Ranz kung hadlok ba ko ana nila? ;)
Kana nga forumer hinganlag Henz, amigo kaayo na nako pero di ko mahadlok makig argue...:lol: :jk: :nocrook:

45 mins of non stop heavy rain has caused flooding and heavy traffic jams in Banilad, Mandaue, North Reclamation Area.. even some roads in CBP were closed due to knee high waters.

wake up call to City Govt. mura to siya ug pre-ondoy

Valid man ang mga arguments concerning infrastructure sa Cebu which is fast detoriating but of course naa sad ta mga superior infrastructures comparable even to Manila. I do not dispel any arguments in relation to it but of course it is our responsibility as a forumer since we also need to be circumspect in making a sweeping statement.

I believe we need now to have a sort of MMDA and revive the MCDP..ASAP.. This will greatly help in identifying and maintaining METRO Cebu's infrastructures to the highest level. ^^

the boundaries of the cities and municipalities in the core area of metro cebu are fast becoming antiquated and irrelevant in these times, it's about time that the mayors and congressional representatives of these parts let go of their petty politics and band together for the amalgamation of metro cebu into one city, that way, development can be centralized and well-organized

re: ayala center expansion: now that's what i've been talking about, cebu deserves projects such as this...something that aesthetically pleasing...i should say, this is one f-ing awesome project :D

^^mo dayg nalang, mo sulti pa gyud og bastos...lol

same weather scenario sa Singapore June 16 last year. Heavy squall like a rain burst.
it's different weather scenario from Ondoy:yes:

With this kind of weather system, everyone should prepare ahead. More to come this year with that kind of system with longer duration. So our LGU must act now... Clean clean clean. And the citizens must open their eyes, don't throw your garbage anywhere.

Known maning lugara mag lunop kung mag uwan, way back sa elementary pako. :ohno:

Cebu City cannot rival with Mandaue, Lapu-Lapu, Talisay, etc. as they all belong to one contiguous area that comprise a metropolitan area.

They complement with each other.

If you look at it at a bigger picture and without being too uber technical, Cebu City can even mean the entire Metro Cebu given its prominence among all the satellite units that comprise the metro area.

Thus whether you like it or not, Cebu City or just plain Cebu to make it simple and not confusing, has the capability to become the best city not just in the Philippines but also in Asia.



it won't be the most progresive city even in the philippines because cebu city is not as promising as makati,taguig,manila...maybe as one of the best city in the philippines,cebu city has it's rival mandaue city and lapu-lapu city,lapu-lapu is promissing because of the airport,yacht clubs,marina,oil depots, and being the tourism spot in cebu island and soon an international port,

if you mean metro cebu it speaks metropolis and there is manila which is now transforming into a global city by 2030,both of them had squaters and informal settlers,they both whatever you want to see in those two metropolis
, if you mean island of cebu the luzon is greater land area....the population and being a capital region in the country could not be surpass by any city except singapore, even bankok,kl and jakrta is far from manila, the monetary status also speaks in ratio to population...jakarta is mora populous than manila but the tradings and industry manila is rich.

in terms of beautification or beautiful city,a lot of things to clean up the mess in our philippine cities

Nag sulod gyud ang tubig sa amo balay diri sa (labogon road) basak, mandaue.. First Time
kay usually sa garahe lang...

Clogged gyud ang drainage. taga hawak daw ang tubig sa basak elementary school.

Actually, it's kind of misleading to say that Cebu is far behind when it comes to infrastructure.

Just because downtown Cebu City is crowded doesn't mean that Cebu lags in infrastructure. LOL, what a basis... Of course it is crowded because it is prosperous and teeming with a lot of entrepreneurial activity just like Bangkok's Pratunam District or Hong Kong's Mong Kok district.

Although we have narrow roads but does this mean that Hong Kong lags in infrastructure because it has narrow roads? Does this mean that Paris or Rome or Tokyo lag in infrastructure because they have narrow, winding and confusing roads?

Cebu has already advanced in infrastructure and let's all hope that it will continue to advance more. To name a few, there's the South Coastal Highway and its tunnel segment, the Cebu North Coastal Road, the 1st and 2nd Mandaue-Mactan Bridges, the Mactan-Cebu International Airport, SCATS system (traffic lights), huge Power Plants in Naga and Toledo, telecommunications (ultra high-speed internet, radio towers in Cantipla, etc., flyovers, etc.


:banana:

Certainly agree with you @arnold..:):cheers:

Meeting sa City Hall with the Disaster Coordinating Council and Mayor Rama - "it's time nga magkahini usa na ang mga LGU's sa Metro Cebu like Mandaue, Cebu City, Talisay City etc"... (Mayor Mike) Maytag di ni ningas kugon @Mayor Mike:yes:

seeing those pics remind me a little bit of ondoy.

we need to get our acts together guys. back to our discussion before, i forgot the name of that lady poster from teh US or was it canada.

this is what I was saying all along, the rise in real estate projects in cebu have not been aligned with the improvement in infrastructure. by analogy, the rise in the number of cars have not been addressed by a corresponding increase in the road network.

i really hope cebu, talisay and mandaue can work together to solve this flooding problem.

i believe the current volume of heavy rains in just over 45 minutes was too big for the current drainage system of each cities... well at least for Mandaue and Cebu..

I dont know with Lapu-Lapu... from the way i look at it.. there is very little drainage system there..


But still, those Mayors should go back to the drawing board now.. Its better late than never!!!!

^^From PAGASA: the duration of the rain 1.5 hours

And yeah I'm right...:D It's really a rain burst/ micro burst said by PAGASA. Concentrated only in a small part of the island.

1.5 hours 35mm of rain

flood in SM

even then, the absorbtive capacity of a general area is further reduced by too much concrete.

imagine, a 2 hectare lot which used to raw land is converted into surface parking. a 2 hectare loss which could have absorbed its own share of rainfall.

rainburst or not, it we all know that drainage in cebu has hardly been addressed. sa una, mo unos gani, ang tubig sa colon kay hangtod ankles lang.

karon, basin bagtak na kutob.
