Customs exceeds October target by 3.2% (http://www.malaya.com.ph/nov04/busi3.htm)


The Bureau of Customs surpassed its collection target in October by 3.2 percent, collecting P24.492 billion, bringing the total collections for the first 10 months of the year to P222.125 billion or P12.465 billion more than its P209.660 billion target.

Customs commissioner Napoleon Morales, however wants the Department of Budget to lower its assigned P300.06 billion target for next year.

Morales said the impact of the current credit crisis will be felt next year.

Next year’s target is about 18 percent higher than this year’s P254 billion target.

Meanwhile last month’s tally still does not include collections from the Port of Manila (POM), Manila International Container Port (MICP) and Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA). On a monthly basis, the collection is P759 million more than its target.

The Manila port is expected to meet its P4.120 billion target, but based on the preliminary report, its collection was 9.9 percent lower than target.

MICP, NAIA and Batangas ports were off target by 4 percent, 15.4 percent 6.3 percent respectively.

BOC is still optimistic that these will be increased once subport collections are computed.

Out of the 17 revenue districts, only seven revenue districts met their respective collection goals, the preliminary report said.

Among the seven, the Port of San Fernando made the highest increment, posting P136 million, or P38 million higher than its target.

The Port of Cagayan de Oro overshot its target by P32 million to P350 million.

Davao collected P188 million, or higher by P22 million than target.

The Port of Legaspi registered P5.9 million, or P2.7 million over target. The Iloilo port generated P27 million, or a P3.5 million surplus

Cebu port had P472 million, P22 million higher than the revenue goal, and Clark collected P63 million, higher by P2.8 million than its target.

Most of the ports that made negative performance were smaller ports such as the port of Tacloban, which was down by P9.5 million, Zamboanga down by P4.4 million, Subic by P152 million and Limay by P127 million as against their respective targets.

The Office of the Commissioner, which also has its own revenue collection target, has not made any collection for the month.

Tax Expenditure Funds (TEFs) from government importations, on the other hand exceeded its P666 million goal, posting P3.220 billion in October.

Tax expenditure funds are non cash payments from the Department of Budget and Management (DBM), which are settled through Statement of Release Order (SARO).

I posted b4 about the ororama after the incident, that robinsons is planning to buy the lot of ororama,but i have new ,got from one of ororama's department head, he said that the owner is having a meeting for the construcrion of the new ORORAMA MALL.

I think that plan was before Robinsons decided to locate inside LKK...other area considered was the Anflocor property but because of financial liabilities besetting Ororama and the Floirendos still undecided, they eventually settled to what is now Robinsons CDO inside LKK Complex.

Hanjin project high on Neda agenda (http://www.manilastandardtoday.com/?page=politics6_nov4_2008)

Hanjin Heavy Industries of South Korea will resume work on its $2-billion shipyard project inside the Philippine Veterans Industrial Development Corp. in Mindanao early next year.

President Arroyo will convene a Special National Economic Development Authority Board meeting today in Laguna where Phividec chairman Ofelia Bulaong will give a presentation on the benefits of the Hanjin project in Misamis Oriental.

Mrs. Arroyo personally urged Hanjin officials to continue with the project in May after Tagoloan Mayor Paulino Emano issued a suspension order, claiming the Korean firm failed to secure a municipal building permit and environmental clearance certificate for its shipyard project.

She made the appeal after Hanjin managing director Myung Goo Kwon reportedly sent a letter to his principals in Albania expressing the desire of the Korean firm to withdraw from the project.

Apart from the shipyard project, Cabinet officials will also discuss today the impact of the declining prices of oil and petroleum products on the expanded value added tax revenue collections.

Economic managers are reviewing the guidelines setting the benchmark for lower tariff on imported oil amid public outcry over the re-imposition of the 3-percent tariff.

“We’re looking at a revenue neutral situation. As to how this will affect the prices, we still have to do some computations. What we can do is review these guidelines. The direction is to help the public but at the same time, the government should not suffer a loss,” Finance Secretary Margarito Teves said.

The government ordered the temporary lifting of tariff on oil in June after the prices of crude in the world market breached the $135 per barrel level.

Under the present guidelines, the trigger point for a 3 percent to 2-percent cut is $83 per barrel of Dubai crude and $105 per barrel of diesel at the Mean of Platts Singapore.

It will be reduced to 1 percent once Dubai crude reaches $92 per barrel and $110 for MOPS-diesel while the zero tariff will be implemented with a $103 per barrel trigger for Dubai and $115 per barrel for MOPS-diesel. Joyce Pangco Pañares

Roa: Subject--History (http://www.sunstar.com.ph/static/cag/2008/10/31/life/roa.subject.history.html)
By Paulita R. Roa
Past Speaks

History is a very fascinating subject but to many it is a boring one. This is probably because of the way this subject is presented that is why it is often viewed as dull and tedious.

However, there are many ways of promoting history that can ignite the interest of people and spur them to learn more about our past.

One way of doing it is through a question and answer method done in story form.

This is a big help to students for they can easily understand and appreciate our history sans the burden of having to memorize dates and names. After all, history is the story of our people from the ancient times to the present.

I am presenting to you the early history of Cagayan de Oro and other interesting trivia in a Q and A form and tell me what you think about it.

9. What are the official initials of our city?
"CdeO" are the official initials of Cagayan de Oro. This is contained in City Ordinance No. 10962-2008.



If I am going to use 4 letters (CdeO) for Cagayan initials, I might as well use CDOC (Cagayan de Oro City). This City Ordinance was objected by local journalists and city historians.

mingaw lagE?:nuts:

you seem depressed... would you like to talk about it? :nuts::nuts::nuts:

Congrats CdeO for this 29th thread! Cgayanon, tsada man imong banner! By the way, may napapansin akong u/c dyan sa may baloy. Ano kaya yan? Mukhang busy sila with cranes and trucks. Malaki ang area.

Why They Would Like To Visit CDO (http://travelsandtours.dingexx.com/2008/11/04/why-they-would-like-to-visit-cdo/)
Posted by dingdans on Tuesday, November 4th 2008

We know that Cagayan de Oro is one of a blooming City here in Mindanao. The City was develop almost 3-5 years already and it has a big improvement.. One improvement that we can see and witness is the Night Cafe at DV Soria which it will happened every Friday and Saturday nights. The big establishment and the businessman who came into the city to invest there business in our beautiful and growing city. The local government in CDO are looking ways to improve the city and to look jobs for those people don’t have jobs yet..


http://travelsandtours.dingexx.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/whitewaterr4249.thumbnail.jpghttp://travelsandtours.dingexx.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/whitewaterr4288.thumbnail.jpg]http://travelsandtours.dingexx.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/whitewaterr4042.thumbnail.jpghttp://travelsandtours.dingexx.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/whitewaterr4169.thumbnail.jpg

Aside from that, the City also gifted in natures. We have the beautiful River which is many tourist would like to try our white water rafting. As what I observe and interview some tourist, what most they like to visit CDO is to experience the rapids of our white water rafting. Aside from this we have a beautiful cave, just like Macahambus Cave. Imagine immersing yourself in the full glory of nature, walking in the midst of gigantic century-old trees and swinging from the top of an enormous gorge, nothing between you and the ground except hundred of feet of air, giving you a different perspective of the majestic Macahambus gorge. For a thrilling experience of the entire gorge in full, take a deep breath and cross the Sky Bridge, which runs for 123 meters across a height of 150 meters, which gives you the most commanding view of the gorge in all its glory. If you’re looking for more adventure, why not try rappelling down the gorge itself for that once-in-a-lifetime rush; experience the thrill of slowly making your way down into the forest floor and looking up to the canopy of trees from a totally new perspective.

http://travelsandtours.dingexx.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/lupad.thumbnail.jpghttp://travelsandtours.dingexx.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/macahambus_gorge2.thumbnail.JPGhttp://travelsandtours.dingexx.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/tulay.thumbnail.jpghttp://travelsandtours.dingexx.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/d.thumbnail.JPG

For that ultimate, heart-pounding, adrenaline-laced thrill, the 120-meter Zip Line (slide-for-life) is the right thing for you. The rush of hanging from a heavy-duty cable at a height of 150 feet is incomparable – but sliding through the same cable across the two edges of a gorge is nothing short of exhilarating. Mindanao is a gifted place and so bless..!!

Some Place that tourist why tourist would like to visit CDO.

The Macahambus Cave

Our White Water Rafting

If you have some place where I did mention in this post which is you think one of the tourist spot, put it on the comment..

Cagayan de Oro leaders favor Barack Obama for US President (http://northernmindanao.com/?p=1194)
November 4, 2008

By Lizanilla J. Amarga

As American citizens votes today for their next president, a number of Cagayan de Oro city residents weighed in on who their favorites are and how their choice may just affect the future of the country and even their own neighborhood.

Office of Muslim Affairs regional director Atty. Ombra Gandamra said they are supporting Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama rather than the Replubican counterpart John McCain.

“We are supporting Obama, reason is for a change both in foreign and economic policies. There is great impact in our country politically and economically, hence, Cagayan de Oro will be affected,” he said.

National Telecommunications Commission regional director Teodoro Buenavista for his part also favors Obama for change of leadership.

He said Obama’s “youthful energy and new politics will definitely change the geopolitical landscape while cagayan deOro and the country will benefit the perceived shift to or change in geopolitics.”

Integrated Bar of the Philippines-Misamis Oriental Chapter vice-president Atty. Dale Mordeno said he too is for Obama for the latter’s socialist views.

He cited in particular Obama’s message on the “redistribution of wealth to all” saying that Cagayan de Oro city may benefit if our local leaders will share the same convictions.

Atty. Koko Pimentel for his part also supports Obama as the latter would be “more understanding to minority or non-white concerns” and that the Philippines will indirectly benefit with this more understanding US president.

But that Cagayan de Oro, he said there is no direct tangible benefit except that local residents would best see in Obama an example of how a great leader should be.

Philippine Federation of Credit Cooperatives-Northern Mindanao general manager Dave Pajaron for his part said he too is for the Democratic Party’s presidential bet because of Obama’s stand against immigrant and his stand against war on Iraq.

“For Cagayan de Oro and maybe in Mindanao as a whole assistantce through USAID and GEM,” he said.

Xavier University-Association of Law Students former president Kristin Ilya Ravanera and Mindanao Youth Volunteer Corps, Inc. president Rhobert Maestre shared their passion on how they too favor Obama over McCain.

For both youth leaders, Obama’s idealisms are something they can easily identify and relate too as compared to McCain’s “outdated and erratic views.”

Transportation Federation of Cagayan de Oro chairperson Epifanio Tamiok said their group is “passive” on the US elections unless they receive an advisory from their national affiliations considering that whoever sits as the next US president may have some impact on the supply, demand and prices of gasoline in the world market and thus, affect the country’s economy.

Meanwhile, a Roman Catholic priest who requested anonymity sent this text message, “In terms of political and economic policies, I am for Obama. But I have reservations with his stand on the rights of rape victims to having the choice to abort their babies conceived out of their respective rape incident.”

^^Congrats OBAMA for the first elected black President of the USA :cheers:

'Serenata @ the Park' to feature live musicals in Divisoria

Cagayan de Oro City (30 October) -- THE City Government of Cagayan de Oro City is inviting the public to the "Serenata @ the Park" every Sunday from 5:30 in the afternoon to 7:00 in the evening at Kiosko Kagawasan in Divisoria.

The "Serenata @ the Park" is a project of the city government of Cagayan de Oro and a brainchild of Mayor Constantino G. Jaraula in his effort to revive the concert in Divisoria, which was popular in the '60s and '70s.

It is also aimed at showcasing local talents, as well as enrich the culture and arts scene in public spaces such as the Divisoria.

Last Sunday, October 26, among the featured artists and musicians were the Army's 4th Infantry Division Combo, playing standards and the oldies but goldies music of the Platters, Cascades and the Lettermen for an hour and a half.

Reviving the "Serenata @ the Park" also aims to provide the public with free quality entertainment, as well as music education.

Since its revival in October this year, the "Serenata" has featured the 4th ID Band and Combo. They will perform until November 2.

Community, school and church-based choral groups, choirs, drum and bugle corps, instrumentalists and ensembles will also showcase their talents to the public and perform at upcoming "Serenatas." (Cagayan de Oro City Information Office/PIA-MisOrOccCam i-Net) [top]

Nakatikim na ba kayo ng Ostrich meat?

Ostrich raising a promising business in RP

The Department of Agriculture (DA) is promoting Ostrich farming as alternative to poultry business, especially in a time when a looming food crisis threatens the country and the whole of Southeast Asia.

Although startup capital of the business is much bigger than an ordinary poultry farm, the agriculture department has assured those who would venture into the business of big income in the long run.

A group of farmers from Southeast Asia visited recently the 11-year-old farm in Opol, Misamis Oriental, the first and the biggest ostrich farm in the Philippines.

The group is to be part of an agri-tourism project of the agriculture department.

According to GMA news 24 Oras report Thursday, among the objectives of the project is to find a solution to the food crisis haunting the region.

“Our country needs to be self sufficient in rice… the price of rice in the market has gone up," said Tanya Alwi, a farmer from Indonesia.

“This is an eco-tourism and agri-tourism project. It’s a combination of agri-business venture and tourist attraction," explained by Elsa Parrot, senior agriculturist of the Dept of Agriculture.

The report said maintenance of ostrich is not really expensive because this huge breed of bird eats regular chicken feeds and kangkong.

It added that ostrich multiply easily because it can lay as many as 100 eggs in a year.

Meanwhile, an adult ostrich can generate about 100 kilos of premier meat that can be sold from P400 to P800 a kilo.

The report said ostrich’s red meat tastes better than pork and a healthier diet, too, as it contains low calories.

Ostrich meat is said to be one of the best-selling delicacies in Cagayan de Oro, where a restaurant offers a stick grilled ostrich meat (ala barbecue) for a low as P40. - Fidel Jimenez, GMANews.TV

there are really some exciting shapes taking there in the construction site of the LKK.

:banana:PILA na ka Storeys ang GateWay????

twin towers 21 storeys each ang hotel. im not quite about the gateway

:banana:PILA na ka Storeys ang GateWay????

Yung Gateway ay Convenience store w/ some shops at parang 3-4 stories ito

yung Gateway based sa Plan ng GOZAR mukhang 2 floors lang pero it seems to be a 4-storey bldg. sa pictures ni GearX. Mukhang maganda ang design ng gateway...:)

If it seems 4 stories maybe mataas ang floor-ceiling height ng building o kaya binago ng LKK ang design nito para maging 4 stories

Congrats CdeO for this 29th thread! Cgayanon, tsada man imong banner! By the way, may napapansin akong u/c dyan sa may baloy. Ano kaya yan? Mukhang busy sila with cranes and trucks. Malaki ang area. UKC builders ang nagtatrabaho sa site. It's along the freeway, left side sya if going to Bugo ang direction. Hmmm.... :)


i thought this is just another UKC yard.

Ang LKK Compex para ding ARANETA CENTER, kasi merong silang similarity minus the dome:

1. Plaza fair for LKK, Fairmart for Araneta
2. LKK Gateway building, Gateway Mall for Araneta
3. Hotels surround LKK -same din sa Araneta
4. Merong Rumored SM Dept store(?) sa LKK, meron ding SM Dept Store sa Araneta Center (di nga lang me sure if part pa ng Araneta Center yung location ng SM Department store)
5. Bridges also connects gateway to araneta Astrodome to Fairmart

KATKAT BA? :lol::nuts::nuts:

does anyone have a floorplan of the gateway?

Oro bet now ready for Shell junior finals (http://www.sunstar.com.ph/static/cag/2008/11/06/sports/oro.bet.now.ready.for.shell.junior.finals.html)

NORTHERN Mindanao's lone qualifier for this year's National Shell Youth Active Chess junior championship showed that he's now ready for the big battle ahead.

The 15-year-old Lennon Hart Salgados, a third-year student of Corpus Christi High School in Cagayan de Oro City, placed a strong second (7 points out of 9) in the recently concluded Oro `Class A' 10-man round robin tourney, which served as his final tune-up bout for the 2008 National Shell Grand Finals on November 7-10 in Manila.

Salgados, who is guaranteed full backing by Cagayan de Oro City Mayor Constantino Jaraula and Asset president Lawrence Pastrano, is gunning for a back-to-back championship in the Shell Finals after winning the national kiddies title last year.

What's more inspiring in Salgados' latest outings is that he managed to beat older compatriot Johnnel Balquin, who is considered the most feared Candidate Master in Mindanao, twice (Iligan Open and round robin affair) in succession.

The former Milo Little Olympics MVP also spearheaded the Corpus Christi chessers to a near shut-out win in the 2008 Prisaa Meet, apart from pocketing the individual gold as board 2 enforcer of the Misamis Oriental team in the last inter-province tourney in Tandag, Surigao del Sur.

"Gi-predict nako siya last year nga mag-champion. I hope so nga dili gihapon mosipyat akong prediction kang Lennon karong tuiga," said local chess fanatic Danny Velez who helped the training preparation of Salgados along with Governor Oscar S. Moreno, Representative Rolando "Klarex" Uy, National Master Roly Tan and Milolympics director Megdonio Llamera.

400 Tagoloan runners join`08 Milo race (http://www.sunstar.com.ph/static/cag/2008/11/06/sports/400.tagoloan.runners.join.08.milo.race.html)

A HEAVY turnout of entries was observed Wednesday, virtually assuring that Sunday's Milo race will hit its target of 10,000 participants.

"Almost 9,000 na unya naa pa gyod ugma," said event organizer Megdonio Llamera, referring to the registered number of participants.

On Wednesday afternoon, the Milo race office at Pelaez Sports Center was flooded by, more or less, 500 registrants who came from Tagoloan and Jasaan, respectively, representing its national high schools and elementary schools.

The Cagayan de Oro leg, set to fire off Sunday (6 am) at the Capitol grounds, will be the last regional qualifying stage of the 32nd Milo Marathon which has trophies, medals and cash prizes at stake in the kiddies 3K age-group category, 5K fun run and the centerpiece 21K qualifying event.

Sports clinic eyes Bugo as next target (http://www.sunstar.com.ph/static/cag/2008/11/06/sports/sports.clinic.eyes.bugo.as.next.target.html)

AFTER a successful drive in Barangay Balubal, the Cagayan de Oro Asset sports clinic looks at the sports-conscious barangay of Bugo as its next possible target.

Asset president Lawrence Rembrant Pastrano has yet to finalize, however, the matter with Barangay Bugo officials and Secretary to the Mayor Rogelio "Jigs" Jaraula Jr.

"Amo pa kining i-discuss para han-ay gihapon ang sunod nato nga sports clinic," Pastrano told Sun.Star Cagayan de Oro.

The sports outreach program in Balubal drew at least 400 participants who were taught the basic rudiments of various sports disciplines, such as table tennis, badminton, karatedo, arnis, taekwondo, volleyball, basketball, boxing and athletics.

Alam nyo, mamiss ko ang dating LKK Mall dahil parang nawawala na ang building icon/landmark nila kanang arc type roofing. Noong bata pa ako, ang nagregister sa isipan ko na picture ng LKK ay yang mga arc type roofing. Sana hindi nila walain yuang design na yan at ilipat sa ibang nababagay na lokasyon.

Completing the list in the order they were ranked are Iloilo, Davao, Bacolod, Angeles-Clark-Mabalacat, Baliuag-Marilao-Meycauayan, Cagayan de Oro,:cheers: Malolos-Calumpit and Lipa.

Jaraula Off To Manila For “GILAS Project” (http://cagayandeoro.gov.ph/?page=news&id=1439)
by Ian A. Fuentes/city Information Office

City Mayor Constantino G. Jaraula today left for Manila upon invitation of business mogul Jaime Zobel de Ayala to join in the 2,000th school celebration that benefited in the “Gearing Up Internet Literacy Access for Students” or GILAS Project, of which Cagayan de Oro City is one of the pilot cities nationwide.

Mayor Jaraula is expected to join with Mr. Ayala and other high-ranking officials of GILAS during the noontime affair which will be held at the Ayala Museum on November 5, 2008. GILAS Project, a joint partnership among Ayala Foundation, Department of Education (DepEd), private individuals and corporations and local government units, basically aims to connect all 35 public high schools in Cagayan de Oro City to the worldwide information highway via internet by next year in line with its mission to improve the students’ learning along information technology. With a combined funding of more than P5 million both from the private donors and corporations and local government unit, each recipient school will be provided with 10 units of computers, servers, printers, networking peripherals and accessories, including one-year free internet use courtesy of Globe. In a letter to Mayor Jaraula, Gilas-Mindanao Senior Manager Archimedes G. Velasco reported that the implementation of the project is going on with the recent deliveries of computers, printers and peripherals to secondary schools in Balulang, Camaman-an and Lapasan-East Gusa. Next batch of deliveries will benefit national high schools in F.S. Catanico, San Simon (Iponan Annex), Dansolihon and Tagpangi, according to Velasco. Other solicited donations which comprised of 19 units of computers from Hongkong International School will soon be turned over to Taglimao NHS (5 units); Tumpagon NHS (5 units); Tignapoloan NHS (5 units) and Gusa Regional Science High School (4 units), while six donated computers from Rotary Club will be given to Bayanga National High School, Velasco concluded.

Ang LKK Compex para ding ARANETA CENTER, kasi merong silang similarity minus the dome:

1. Plaza fair for LKK, Fairmart for Araneta
2. LKK Gateway building, Gateway Mall for Araneta
3. Hotels surround LKK -same din sa Araneta

5. Bridges also connects gateway to araneta Astrodome to Fairmart

KATKAT BA? :lol::nuts::nuts:

malawak pa naman ang LKK so maybe in the future they will build an arena or coliseum there. The fact that nowadays LKK is already being compared to the most successful shopping complexes like Araneta & Ayala Makati is already a big achievement.

The next wave of structures in LKK are really a mystery, only LKK corporate officers know the exact outcome. Looks like LKK is keeping the future plans confidential because they anticipate another Big Change coming in the malling of CDO.

malawak pa naman ang LKK so maybe in the future they will build an arena or coliseum there. The fact that nowadays LKK is already being compared to the most successful shopping complexes like Araneta & Ayala Makati is already a big achievement.

wow never knew until now, anyway sana pag balik ni mayor ma announce na ang Ayala CDO to erase the rumor tag :cheers:

compared by who?

^^@dinabaw announced na ni Mayor Jaraula yung Ayala Mall CDO noon pero ang pinaka-hihintay ng lahat ang Official Press Statement ng Ayala tungkol dito coupled w/ the renderings and project details.

@waway I think the comparison came from people who have been to LKK, Ayala & Araneta. I myself see the similarities because of the land areas (Ayala & Araneta around 30-35 hectares & LKK around 25 hectares) & the diverse tenants spread accross the complex. The similarities will be more striking once the major LKK projects are completed like the LKK Hotel and the proposed mall expansions (another anchor dep't store, multi-storey parking building & additional 3-4 cinemas).

true, and depende din sa depth ng kaalaman o background nung nagcocompare :yes:

to an ordinary maller mall A and mall B may be the same/at par, then to a mall connoisseur eh di pa rin pala..

di naman sa nilalait ko ang LKK pero layu ra daw sya compared sa ayala makati ug araneta center oi, sa shops pa lang daan dako nag difference..

there may be similarities sa concept sprawling nga commercial complex nga naay mall then naay mga anchor department stores, entertainment strips and soon naay hotel but the similarities end there..

if tukion jud nimo sa ubang butang (like presence and variety of high end stores, overall ambience, hi tech cinemas etc) makita jud na layo2x pa ang LKK sa level sa Araneta ug Ayala Makati

if tukion jud nimo sa ubang butang (like presence and variety of high end stores, overall ambience, hi tech cinemas etc) makita jud na layo2x pa ang LKK sa level sa Araneta ug Ayala Makati

diha lang naay similarities and the presence of few branded stores that are also anchored in ayala makati and araneta..:)

Jaraula Off To Manila For “GILAS Project” (http://cagayandeoro.gov.ph/?page=news&id=1439)
by Ian A. Fuentes/city Information Office

City Mayor Constantino G. Jaraula today left for Manila upon invitation of business mogul Jaime Zobel de Ayala to join in the 2,000th school celebration that benefited in the “Gearing Up Internet Literacy Access for Students” or GILAS Project, of which Cagayan de Oro City is one of the pilot cities nationwide.

Mayor Jaraula is expected to join with Mr. Ayala and other high-ranking officials of GILAS during the noontime affair which will be held at the Ayala Museum on November 5, 2008. GILAS Project, a joint partnership among Ayala Foundation, Department of Education (DepEd), private individuals and corporations and local government units, basically aims to connect all 35 public high schools in Cagayan de Oro City to the worldwide information highway via internet by next year in line with its mission to improve the students’ learning along information technology. With a combined funding of more than P5 million both from the private donors and corporations and local government unit, each recipient school will be provided with 10 units of computers, servers, printers, networking peripherals and accessories, including one-year free internet use courtesy of Globe. In a letter to Mayor Jaraula, Gilas-Mindanao Senior Manager Archimedes G. Velasco reported that the implementation of the project is going on with the recent deliveries of computers, printers and peripherals to secondary schools in Balulang, Camaman-an and Lapasan-East Gusa. Next batch of deliveries will benefit national high schools in F.S. Catanico, San Simon (Iponan Annex), Dansolihon and Tagpangi, according to Velasco. Other solicited donations which comprised of 19 units of computers from Hongkong International School will soon be turned over to Taglimao NHS (5 units); Tumpagon NHS (5 units); Tignapoloan NHS (5 units) and Gusa Regional Science High School (4 units), while six donated computers from Rotary Club will be given to Bayanga National High School, Velasco concluded.

The GILAS project makes PLDT or other ISP richer..... their mission is to initiate public schools for internet connection. Watta great marketing strategy in the guise of education.

Speaking of Araneta unsa man diay shops nga naa sa Araneta nga muingon ka nga layo ra kumpara sa LKK? Kay matod mo man shops palang daan layo na ang LKK?

c'mon, sa tinood lang ta...sa Gateway Mall (Araneta ha) pa lang daan, layo na kaayo ang LKK..

the only thing nga common sa LKK and these 2 shopping complex kay ang concept lang nga mixed use development (sprawling commercial complex nga naay mga "side" stores like Robinsons and ang rumored SM daw) and the soon to rise LKK hotel..

If you look at the details (variety of shops and esp high end ones) , entertainment facilities, even ang overall "feel" sa mall, layo ra oi

sure patsadao paminawon nga comparable sya sa Araneta Center and Ayala Makati, but if we keep it real, layo ra oi

saan daw po banda ang sm sa LKK?

^^rumor palang ito...hinihintay pa ang official confirmation

ok. malawak pala siya ha kung totoo man na magtatayo po ang retail group dyan ......its a big bang talaga!

Ang LKK Compex para ding ARANETA CENTER, kasi merong silang similarity minus the dome:

1. Plaza fair for LKK, Fairmart for Araneta
2. LKK Gateway building, Gateway Mall for Araneta
3. Hotels surround LKK -same din sa Araneta
4. Merong Rumored SM Dept store(?) sa LKK, meron ding SM Dept Store sa Araneta Center (di nga lang me sure if part pa ng Araneta Center yung location ng SM Department store)
5. Bridges also connects gateway to araneta Astrodome to Fairmart

KATKAT BA? :lol::nuts::nuts:

^^Ako nag-umpisa ng comparison between Araneta & LKK, & ito lang ang sinabi ko kaya there's no need to go beyond :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: gets? :lol::lol::lol::nuts:

ok. malawak pala siya ha kung totoo man na magtatayo po ang retail group dyan ......its a big bang talaga!

tama malawak yung Limketkai kasi mga 25 hectares sya (Ayala Makati & Araneta Center ay 30-35 hectares). Yung rumored SM nasa 4,000 sq. m. lot lang kaya mukhang dep't store at supermart lang kaya dun

^^Ako nag-umpisa ng comparison between Araneta & LKK, & ito lang ang sinabi ko kaya there's no need to go beyond :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: gets? :lol::lol::lol::nuts:

I agree there are striking similarities...moreso in 5-10 years when most projects (highrise, mall expansions, etc) will be complete in LKK

Tumpak!

Marami talagang upcoming developments dyan sa LKK ---we don't need to mention the details kasi alam na naman natin kung ano ano ang mga yun :banana:.

tama malawak yung Limketkai kasi mga 25 hectares sya (Ayala Makati & Araneta Center ay 30-35 hectares). Yung rumored SM nasa 4,000 sq. m. lot lang kaya mukhang dep't store at supermart lang kaya dun

soon to be just like cubao or makati

^^tama...similar ang role ng LKK sa Ayala dun sa Makati yung Limketkai kaya kung natapos ito magiging anchor ito ng CBD ng Cag de Oro tulad ng nangyari sa Makati

No, Boju... After aning building, to the east, is the entrance to the KIMWA Compound... Then, Leo's Grill... Sa likod sa Leo's Grill is the apartelle... Leo Lua (KIMWA) ang tag-iya tanan ani... :-)

Yes, Boju... Owned ay Alarico Lim! :-)

Thanks Bai :cheers:

Sabi sa website, over 25 has. ang area ng LKKS.

I agree there are striking similarities...moreso in 5-10 years when most projects (highrise, mall expansions, etc) will be complete in LKK

Tama kayo, may pagkasimilar ang LKKS sa Ayala center Makati at Araneta Center :cheers: Very nice observation :cheers:

Yung 66,000 sq.mts. Gross Retail Area lang pero ano kaya Gross Floor Area ng LKK? Estimate ko over 120,000 sq. mts. ito kasi maraming open spaces sa loob ng Mall tulad ng Atrium at Activity Center

There's already a Jollibee NOW HIRING tarpaulin on the second floor of this bldg as of yesterday...

Providing a Metropolitan Perspective
to Development Planning: Cagayan de Oro
Ruben G. Mercado and Casimira V. Balandra1

1. Introduction

Cagayan de Oro (CDO) is one of the important cities in the country being the
regional capital of Northern Mindanao, considered the primary gateway to the rest of the Mindanao regions. Being a port city, it plays the role as a transhipment hub and is economically linked especially with the other port cities in the other islands of the country. With a population of over 400,000 people occupying mostly the urban portion of its 469 square km. area, the city’s socio-economic and political influence extends to another 400,000 people sparsely distributed in almost 3,400 sq. km. area which are parts
of Bukidnon and Misamis Oriental. Not too far it will develop into one of the bustling metropolises in the country.

The perceived emergence of a metropolis with CDO as the core city led to the
conceptualization of the Metro CDO Special Development Project (MCSDP) in 1990. With the joint leadership of the Cagayan de Oro-Iligan Chambers of Commerce and Industry and the support of Regional Development Council (RDC) X and XII, the MCSDP paved the way for the Cagayan de Oro-Iligan Corridor Special Development Project (CIC-SDP) implementation starting in 1993. The government-private sector partnership has allowed for the formulation of the CIC Master Plan and Feasibility Study for a CIC International Airport completed on November 30, 1991. After two years of public consultations which ended with the presentation and approval of the CIC Master Plan by the NEDA Board on September 8, 1992, Executive Order 85 was issued (on May 5, 1993) which ushered the plan's implementation. But after five years of CIC investment promotion locally and abroad, so much still needs to be done specially with respect to developing projects that impact on the originally conceived Metro Cagayan de Oro.

Recently, there has been a realization that the Metro CDO SDP has been focused more on the development of the infrastructure links between CDO and Iligan City. Thus, in 1996, a comprehensive master planning for the Metro CDO was proposed to be undertaken that will focus more on the planning for Cagayan de Oro City and its immediate environs. Towards this end, the Cagayan de Oro Government undertook preparatory consultations with the municipalities in Misamis Oriental including Jasa-an, Villanueva, Tagoloan, Claveria, Opol, El Salvador, Alubujid, Laguindingan, Gitagum and the municipalities in Bukidnon including Libona, Manolo Fortich, Talakag, Baungon, Malitbog and Sumilao. These areas together with CDO City compose the envisioned Metro CDO. This composition was determined based on their interdependence in terms of watershed and water supply as well as infrastructure linkages in terms of seaports, airports and highways. The Misamis Oriental and Bukidnon provincial governments were also represented in these consultations.

2. Metro CDO Current Development and Prospects

2.1 Demographic Characteristics

Almost half (49.7 percent) of the over 800,00 people in Metro CDO, as it
presently defined, is largely concentrated in Cagayan de Oro City (Table 1). The city grew at a high rate of 4.75 percent during the period 1990-1995. Ten-year intercensal growth rate of the city has been high registering 6.5 percent in 1960-1970, 5.9 percent in 1970-1980 and 4.0 percent in 1980-1990.

Table 1

Basic Source: NSO, 1995


The development activities undertaken through the years in terms of
infrastructure support, investment generation, and the promotion of the city as the regional growth center, especially with the establishment of the country’s largest industrial estate in the mid-seventies have impacted on other areas especially among the municipalities geographically close to the city. Thus, one will note that population in most of these municipalities have been growing at rates over three percent during the period 1990-1995. Noteworthy of these municipalities include Jasaan, Villanueva, Tagoloan, Claveria, Opol and El Salvador whose high population growth rates can be
attributed to the impact of employment generating projects most especially the PHIVIDEC Industrial Estate.

Other areas composing the envisioned Metro CDO are also expected to increase population in both level and rate of growth in the near future. The Northern Mindanao Regional Development Plan for the 21st Century identified three major events that will shape the future of CDO City and its environs. These include the construction of an international standard airport in Laguindingan, the expansion and upgrading of the CDO Port and the development of the PHIVIDEC Industrial Estate in Tagoloan and Jasaan
where an integrated steel mill will be put up. The implementation of these flagship programs will boost economic growth and will attract movement of people in these influence areas.


2.2. Land Use Development

Cagayan de Oro2 is the first city in the country to have a zoning plan. Guided by the 1962 zone plan its growth further accelerated when it became the regional capital (in 1972) of Northern Mindanao. The region was originally composed of ten provinces and nine cities. The composition was reduced to seven provinces and seven cities when Region XII was created in 1976. When Region XIII (CARAGA) was established in 1994, the composition was further brought down to only four provinces and six cities.

Despite the reduction in the region's geographic size, Cagayan de Oro's socioeconomic influence continues to extend to all these areas and even beyond.


2.3 CDO: Mindanao’s Transhipment Hub

Cagayan de Oro City, while being primarily agricultural, has become one of the
important commercial centers not only for Mindanao but also for the Philippines owing to its strategic location as a port city. As a transshipment hub, the city’s international seaport and trunkline airport facilitate the flow of people and cargoes from the Visayas to Cagayan de Oro became a chartered city on June 15, 1950 during the presidency of President E. Quirino.


Among the five cities studied in mid-60's under the Regional Cities Development Project (RCDP), Cagayan de Oro was among the best planned, owing to its first Land Use/ Zoning Plan dating back to 1962.


3. Approaching Metro CDO Development

A Growth Center Perspective

Metro CDO is presently viewed in the context of a regional growth area. Lying
at the central section, identified in the Mindanao 2000 Development Framework Plan as the North Coast Economic Growth Cluster (the land mass from CARAGA in the Northeast to Panguil Bay in the Northwest), Metro Cagayan de Oro is expected to sustain its crucial role of linking and unifying this high potential growth cluster for both agricultural and industrial development. The North Coast Growth cluster with the Metro-Cagayan de Oro and Iligan Corridor at the center is envisioned in the next 15 years development period to play triple roles. These are: 1) Domestic Food Basket and Agri-Industrial Exporter; 2) the Industrial Corridor of Southern Philippines; and 3) the gateway to the domestic market with potentials for creating market niches in the Northeast Asian Markets.

The current Metro CDO Special Development Project is basically aimed at
spurring the growth of Northern Mindanao Region through the implementation of strategic infrastructures including seaports, airports and highways as well as the promotion of agri-industrial activities including industrial estate development in CDO City and its environs. Corollary to this, most recently, a master planning of Metro CDO is being proposed to be undertaken. The development of the master plan is conceived within the framework of this growth center strategy with the objective of producing a plan, essentially a land use plan for CDO and the 15 adjoining municipalities that will serve as basis for amending zoning ordinances, guide for land reclassification and
direction for government and private initiatives on their investment decisions.

A Metropolitan Perspective
An important complementary perspective of looking at CDO City and the neighboring municipalities as a regional growth center is to view it as an emerging metropolitan settlement. There are already indications of CDO City behaving like a widely sprawling city, spreading its influence to nearby municipalities. It is difficult now to distinguish the city’s boundaries as differentiation between localities is already being virtually erased. For example, the DMPI plantation in Manolo Fortich (Bukidnon) and the Industrial Estate of Tagoloan-Villanueva (Misamis Oriental) are part of Cagayan de Oro City's tourism-investment promotion package.

Moreover, the normative experience of a metropolis which includes urban blight and decay in the inner core resulting from slum dwelling, mounting garbage and rising criminality are being already felt even at this stage. The spill over effects of urban sprawl specially relative to population pressures on agricultural land conversions for urban uses such as housing and industry are a threat to food security. Enticed by better income opportunities and the good life in the city, farm workers have abandoned their seasonal farm activities in search of the proverbial greener pasture but only to be land in
odd jobs or end up as beggars in the city. Thus, a paradigm shift in planning and management has to be looked into to be more prepared in the immediate future to deal with more complex issues inherent in a metropolis.


4. Metropolitan Concerns in the CDO Area

Current urban concerns which transcend local boundaries and assume a
metropolitan character and scope have been identified by regional and local officials in the region and have been recognized as major challenges that will have to be addressed under the region’s development plan for the next century. These include water supply and distribution, solid waste management and transport and traffic management.


4.1 Water Supply and Distribution

In the city proper, water is not yet a problem with a density of 13 persons to aLevel III facility or 9 persons per combined Level II and Level III facility. However, the adjoining municipalities as components of the Metro Cagayan de Oro are still partly served by Levels I and II with one municipality each of Bukidnon and Misamis Oriental largely served only by Level I.


4.3 Worsening Traffic Congestion

As in other highly urbanized cities, traffic congestion in CDO is becoming a
serious problem. Most of the work establishments in the city have adopted a “flexitime” work schedule in view of the unpredictability of heavy traffic occurrences. The problem has been attributed primarily to the roads already made narrow by the tremendous increase in the number of vehicles that ply the area. The heavy traffic occurrences or major choke points are the intersections in front of the City Hall and after the Carmen bridge leading to the Cagayan de Oro International Airport, the JR Borja Hospital and the Carmen market; the crossing in front of the malls/commercial complexes specially that which leads to the Agora Market and the Cagayan de Oro port.

The worst traffic happens within a stretch of a kilometer where one goes thru six choke points from the Ororama Megamall to the Licoan (leading to the Cagayan de Oro port or the Divisoria.), and the intersection at the western end of the Marcos bridge.


5. Metro CDO Planning and Governance

Both the opportunities/potentials and concerns/challenges that transcend
geopolitical boundaries within an area like Metro Cagayan de Oro, have implications on the planning of an emerging metropolis. Singly, an LGU cannot efficiently nor effectively handle the type and magnitude of concerns and services which have spill over effects on nearby LGUs. Traditional urban planning approaches confined to a single political unit would have to shift to metropolitan planning and governance whose powers can transcend the LGUs’.

5.1 LGU Preferences on the Sharing Pattern of Urban-Related Activities and Service Delivery Majority of the LGUs have expressed their desire and willingness to collaborate with the Metro Cagayan de Oro in undertaking the following activities:
a) Planning Activities - 80%
b) Delivery of public health services, along with hospital grants and ambulance services - 80%
c) Police and Fire protection - 67%
d) Housing and Resettlement - 60%
e) Public Transport:
Infra and Traffic Management - 60%
f) Garbage collection, recycling and disposal - 53%
The desire to collaborate with the line agencies and/or the private sector were also indicated in some areas.
1. with line agencies
a) Planning - 53%
b) Health - 47%
c) Housing - 47%


With NGO's/the private sector, the LGUs are willing to cooperate on two areas.
2) with NGOs/Private Sector
a) Garbage collection and Disposal/recycling - 40%
b) Housing & Resettlement - 40%

Very few favor the undertaking of activities of the Metro Cagayan de Oro only
with out the LGUs' collaboration, along the following areas:

a) Transport - 40%
b) Garbage collection and disposal - 20%
c) and Housing/Resettlement - 20%

Relative to activities for LGU undertaking only, the results are as follows:
a) Licensing & Inspection - 80%
b) Finance and Taxation - 73%
c) Planning, particularly land use planning and zoning - 67%
d) Housing and Resettlement - 67%
e) Garbage collection/disposal - 53%
f) Health Services - 53%
g) Police and Fire Protection - 53%
h) Public Transport - 40%

The LGUs' responses show their eagerness to do by themselves many of the
important activities or provide those services over which they would want direct responsibility. However, they are ready or willing to collaborate with Metro Cagayan de Oro as a conglomerate body, with the agencies, and the NGOs in many of these concerns. In fact, some expressed their impatience at the slowness of the process of metropolitanizing Cagayan de Oro to enable them to deliver better and higher level of facilities and services.

The installation of an institutional mechanism for metropolitan governance
within Metro Cagayan de Oro is a unique challenge in itself. The models in Mindanao are those of the Area Development Board of SOCSARGEN and the CIC Steering committee of the CIS-SDP. These institutions operate as coordinative mechanisms that can provide a forum not only to coordinate the broad concerns of development but also, facilitate the implementation of inter-agency/inter LGU projects by concerned 14 agencies/LGUs. They also provide the mechanism for encouraging participation and support of national agencies, LGUs and NGOs, private sector.

5.2 Existing/Potential Barriers to Metro CDO

The LGUs were candid in pointing out some critical barriers to
metropolitanization as follows:

5.2.1 Non-involvement of the provincial governments in the organizational process. The support of the provincial governments is crucial for the smooth functioning and enjoyment of mutual benefits. But the initial reluctance of the provincial government of Bukidnon stems from the unclear delineation of what type of development will happen in the participating LGUs. Moreover, there is an emerging fear of losing its municipal constituents once these political units join Metro Cagayan de Oro.

5.2.2 Lack of Political Will Among Member-LGUs Some LGUs bewail the lack of political will and the lack of commitment of some participants. However, they reason out that probably this is caused by the slowness of the organizational process as initiated by Cagayan de Oro City (with DTI serving as the Secretariat of the Regional Growth Center Committee). Probably, the lack
of commitment also stems from the unclear understanding of a metropolitan
arrangement and the roles they will play in such a metropolitan set-up.

5.2.2 Inadequate Resources to Contribute to the Metropolitan Arrangement
Some LGUs fear that because they are "small and poor" they can be gobbled up by the giant such as Cagayan de Oro City. They fear that because they cannot contribute enough, they can just be made the dumping ground of the metro's toxic industrial and unrecyclable wastes and that they might just be the receiving end of the city's industrial pollution.


6. Concluding Remarks

Metro CDO is presently regarded as a regional growth area. In the long-run,
however, it would be inevitable to view the area as an urban area transforming itself into a metropolitan settlement. While there is yet to evolve a functioning Metro CDO, it may not be long, though, for this to be evident considering the rapid urbanization being experienced in the area and which will further accelerate as industrialization and trading activities are vigorously pursued.

The results of the survey show an overwhelming 80% acceptability of the shared responsibility of metropolizing Cagayan de Oro. The LGUs are convinced that the development of metropolitan Cagayan de Oro will stem from the synergistic cooperation of all concerned: the city, the 15 municipalities along with the two provincial governments, the line agencies, the NGOs/private sector, the citizenry, and the Regional Development Council. The 20% hesitation does not mean outright reluctance or nonacceptance but indicative of the need for clearer understanding of the whole concept, a greater appreciation and understanding of their responsibilities and duties as well as the
benefits that could be derived from a metropolitan arrangement.
There are two basic tasks which the LGUs composing the Metro CDO have
rightly identified. The first is the need to hasten the organizational process to set the momentum for action. O

Once established, the second task is to undertake a meaningful master planning for Metro Cagayan de Oro which shall proceed from a comprehensive
review and analysis of human resources, natural endowments, economic advantages and opportunities, as well as socio-political institutions that will enable Metro Cagayan de Oro to define its power base. This will serve as the bench mark for framing doable initiatives with which to respond to the complex challenges and concerns of the emerging metropolis.

How policymakers regard the area would have implications not only on the
concerns from which development programs shall be based but also on the institutional mechanism that will be established to address the formidable tasks at hand. It is, thus, important to clearly make a dichotomy on the perspective placed on Metro CDO as a geographical subject for development. Taken as a regional growth area, Metro CDO can be seen as a strategic area for locating major infrastructural and capital investment to set the stage for the economic growth of the region. Seen as a metropolis, it provides a
directed focus on the challenges that would have to be inevitably addressed unique to such form of an urban area.

Xavier U to host PCCL cage elimination (http://www.sunstar.com.ph/static/cag/2008/11/07/sports/xavier.u.to.host.pccl.cage.elimination.html)

LOCAL cage buffs will get the chance to see in the flesh the country's rising stars in collegiate basketball.

The Philippine Collegiate Champions League is set to unveil its Zone 4 qualifying games from November 14-18 at the Xavier University gym.

"Dili kini basta-basta lang nga liga kay modula ang mga top collegiate teams in the country," said Gerardo Sabal, athletics director of host Xavier University.

The PCCL is the country's Premier Collegiate Basketball League with more or less 250 colleges and universities participating nationwide.

Sanctioned by the BAP-Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas, the PCCL aims to discover basketball talents left untapped due to lack of opportunity and exposure.

Former PBA chairman and Pilipinas shell executive Ray Gamboa heads the list of organizers with former national coach Joe Lipa as the tournament director.

Each team gets to qualify in the PCCL through the local qualifiers such as UAAP, NCAA, Cesafi, Cosaa and the like.

Winners of the local qualifiers play in the regional finals and the regional winners advance to the zonal finals.

The top 2 teams in the 4 Zonal Championships will then join the 8 seeded teams to compose the "Sweet 16."

Zamboanga Champions Ateneo de Zamboanga University, Davao Champions University of Mindanao, UAAP 3rd placer FEU, CESAFI (Cebu) 3rd placer University of San Carlos, COSAA champion Xavier University and Wild Card entry Capitol University will be slugging it out for the Zone 4 Championships.

Oro Milo race hits 10T target (http://www.sunstar.com.ph/static/cag/2008/11/07/sports/oro.milo.race.hits.10t.target.html)

WHEN its local secretariat starts denying entries of late-coming registrants, it's safe to say that the Cagayan de Oro leg of the 32nd Milo Marathon has timely hit its target of 10,000 participants.

"We have still Friday (today) but as of now (Thursday afternoon) sarado na ang registration sa 21K, 10K, and 5K with only about 100 slots left in the 3K fun run. With our target number of runners virtually achieved, we can now look forward to Sunday's elimination race," said event coordinator Megdonio Llamera.

The Cagayan de Oro race, set to fire off 6 a.m. at the Capitol grounds, is the last qualifying phase of Milo's 23-series regional eliminations throughout the country.

Top 3 finishers in the premier 21-K (male and female) category will advance to the November 30 grand finals in Manila.

Even in the National Tourism brochure, it said there Cagayan de Oro destination but the picture shows white island of Camiguin. Hehe out of context na sa proposed Metro CDeO. It's all about regional views. But even that views, it clearly depicts that CDO the core of Northern Mindanao as to Manila for NCR. :cheers:

Yes I also got that comment from a friend in Manila who visited CDO for the first time.

speaking of green, im watching on Discovery HD right now, its expensive to build a green building. but in the long run, malaki ang savings halos 50 percent lang ng energy ang magagamit. example yung ONE BRYANT PARK and HEARST MAGAZINE building (http://i.pbase.com/g4/50/611650/2/61067299.PICT0072.jpg). maybe in 10 years magkaroon din ang CDO nito (who knows?). :nuts:

Wow, nakarelate na ako. Medyo may kapareha dito sa CDO. Meron tayong Archive center sa Old Water tower, dyan sa NY naman nasa underground nga lang pero related pa rin ang lugar sa old water facility. :):cheers:

Nga pala, musta na ang old water tower? na-convert na ba into museum?

Sa pagkakaalam ko last October 21 yung National Archives day, request natin sa ating mga masisipag boyz specially to @Darky kung pwede makibalita siya sa Archive center natin...

Waway ako ang imong konsensya...

medyo arrogant ra kaayo atong quote dri Way. murag 1990's pa bya ang mga data so medyo gamay ra gyud ang population, 2008 na bya kron wala ta kbalo kon dako na diay ang kalamboan diha sa ilaha..... com'on Way lets give them a break! If they want their city to be metro? lets support them.... dpat masaya tyo kc mgging dalawa na ang metro dito sa mindanao....... para lahat masaya:):cheers::lol:

Speaking of population per region... as you can see the stats from NSO.. looks like there is a big increase in population for R10 and there is a constant growth rate 1990-2007, looks like a lot of people are moving to region 10. IMO.

Hi! cyberwizard, with due respect sir, who do you refer to as impostor here? Impostor implies deception. Please clarify. Thanks.

Yes you are right. Lanao del Norte is already part of Region 10, while Lanao del Sur is not. However, a significant number of our Lanao del Sur brothers are coming to CDO for their needs. This is noticeable. Sorry for the ommission.

CARAGA as a totaly separate entity has a separate population census not part of the data presented here

http://www.kagay-an.com/templates/images/CHRISCross.jpg

For everybody's info. CITI HARDWARE, which has an outlet in Gusa Highway, is putting up a new store in Bulua near DPWH DEPO. This will be early next year. :banana:

CARAGA as a totaly separate entity has a separate population census not part of the data presented here

yes, but pasabot cguro ni RFM is that since CDO has job opportunity increases, R10 serves as melting pot to people in the neighboring provinces that include provinces in the CARAGA region..the entry of Hanjin cguro makagudang napod na ug kadaghan sa tawo coming from other provinces..

CARAGA as a totaly separate entity has a separate population census not part of the data presented here

Yes you are correct. But what I am saying here is that CARAGA people also come to CDO for their shopping needs (although not as frequent as our brothers from Lanao). I can attest to this point because I have friends from CARAGA (Butuan, Surigao).

I have also friends from Zambo Siay who are coming to CDO from time to time for their shopping needs (you know... like shoes).:)
