aside from the 8-storey science building, PeopleSupport will also build their own bldg in addition to their current office space in E-Office.

yeah.. Cebu is the Queen City of the South right? if a company expands outside Metro Manila, Cebu is always their choice in the Southern part. there was never an instance bypassing Cebu when expanding (as we speak). 80% of major U.S. based call center and BPO companies are already in Cebu. and when they need more workforce, that's the time they will expand in Davao and other cities.

i heard a story about SM and Gaisano few ages ago and i can't confirm this though. both agreed that SM will only put up malls in Luzon and Gaisano in Visayas and Mindanao. Gaisano violated their agreement, i'm not sure which Gaisano mall in Luzon triggered their dispute. and so SM hurriedly built the SM City mall in Cebu and the rest of the cities in Visayas and Mindanao. and they both live happily ever after hehe.. naintindihan nyo ba? sensya na.

Same here Sloid, I don't think people would think I'm a terrorist until I took a pic of Marriott Hotel recently....that made me think...hehe

he actually started the thread.

So ibig bang sabihin ay ang Bacolod ang most progressive sa Western Visayas?hmmm! At base sa pics pa lng, malayong malayo pa ang Bacolod sa Cebu. I'm from Iloilo and working here in Cebu. May sabi sabi sila dito na ang taga Bacolod daw ay tikalon or hambog which I refuse to believe but as I've read its accounts and testi's cguro maniniwala na ako. Hindi masama ang maging proud sa ating lugar kung may basehan nmn ang ating pride but kung above the limit na, eh hambog na un. Trinitreat ng mga Cebuanos ang mga taga Iloilo na parang Cebuano na rin pero iba ang sinasabi ng mga Cebuanos sa taga Bacolod...tikalon daw!..No Wonder!!!...

On the deeper side:::
Iloilo once bacame the second most powerful city in the Philippines during the early 1900's. Tumingala ang Cebu noon sa Iloilo...But why did Iloilo lost its economic power to Cebu? What happened? Whats in Cebu na hindi naipapatuloy ng Iloilo? Sana ang Iloilo ngaun ang most progressive city sa Southern Philippines.. Nanghihinayang lang ako as a son of Iloilo....

DISCLAIMER: this post is based on my personal opinion.

so he's an Ilonggo? no wonder! after judging people from Bacolod naghahasik pa ng lagim sa Cebu thread! i don't wanna generalize but the facts are clear. by merely reading posts from some Ilonggos (i'm not referring to the Cebu threads alone, try exploring other threads), they are so against Cebu's development. what's their problem? at sana po walang plastikan dito. at Tallers, If his city is so great than why bother working in Cebu? clearly he's biting the hand that feeds him.

here i go again, sorry for bringing this non-sense topic for the nth time. lets just move on. Ilo-ilo's reign ended in nineteen forgotten.

moving forward, Cebu is home of the biggest international seaport outside MM.

wearing I LOVE CEBU shirt with unbuttoned flowery polo, fisherman's hat, boardshorts and a pair of beach sandals will help a lot! its actually a suggestion by one of the forumers and was proven effective haha.

based on my personal opinion too

Thats what I mean in my post sa Hot Queen City issue thread about that Davaoeno that I asked hows Cebu for him and answered infront of me that Cebu is ugly cz he said that it's congested, traffic, chaotic and also the malls he said is not cunsumer friendly, he always say that Davao is better, Davao is better and Davao is better...
So my Question is... if Davao is better why is he here and a number of Davaoenos...
They just say that Cebu is ugly, the city that gave them the opportunity to earn money for themselves, in tagalog "walang utang na loob"....
Another Question... if Cebu is ugly, why do we have the most number of tourists? does it mean that the ugliness of our city is its asset?huh!
They say that Cebuanos are becoming hambog but the truth is we're just deffending our city by those insecure citizens of this country...
Its clear that others don't want our city to succeed more...too many crabs out there though!

read my messages, I didn't post something against other cities, I'm just telling what they said to me.

[sloid]

^ Cebu should definitely be a separate country. Hehe, joke. But instead of hating Cebu for the wrong reasons, why can't they just be happy for cebu's success? besides, cebu's success is kind of like the whole country's success.

And Oh, let them take the title of "Queen City of the South," As if taking the title off from Cebu would stop it's economic growth.

But.. LET THERE BE PEACE!!

** http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=244431 - this thread has finally rested in peace. It wasn't that hot anyway.

1. ano pala ang gusto mong isagot niya?
2. baka mas malaki ang kita sa cebu kesa sa pagbubungkal ng lupa dito sa davao.

again, please dont take such sarcastic and/or ironic comments seriously.
cebu is GREAT!

^ He could've at least been polite about it. Or maybe he shouldn't have been too honest. However, I don't really know how the person said it.. he could've been joking, or not. But still it's really rude for someone to give that kind of answer to people who loves the place.

you should be proud of all progress everywhere in the country. of corse you cannot compare a building in cebu, iloilo or davao with hong kong, shanghai, london or kuala lumpur. face the facts : the philippines just does not have the money to invest that much into the ediface of a building. nevermind ! it still is nice. and it's the key to progress, construction, infrastructure and tourism growth.
philpal

@richard : i guess the bickering goes back to the fact that a lot of the members on the provincial fora are energetic (if not emotional) young people who still have to explore the oft quoted idea of "unity in diversity". i guess this has always been the downfall of the filipinos, sad to say

say, what year were you in the philippines? did you ever study in ISM?

in my former job, i used to track the traffic in metro manila malls. michael, i suggest you look for a better source for the pedestrian traffic count for QC malls. the figures you showed are not anywhere close to the actuals.
