Davao City is still number 1

i dunno how true this is but i sure hope it is. I found this on the Friendster bulletin board:
Davao City is still the No. 1 most competitive city in the Philippines. It remains as the best place to do business in the country.
Results of the latest ranking by the Asian Institute of Management Policy Center presented last night showed Davao City beating local government units in the capital Metro Manila. In the last survey two years ago, Davao City was tied for No. 1 with Makati City, the nation’s premier financial center.
A total of 90 local government units were included in the survey, metropolitan, mid-sized and small cities. Davao City topped two of six key competitive drivers and scored the highest rate among highly urbanized cities.
Key drivers:
Cost of doing business - No. 1 - Davao City
Infrastructure - No. 1 - Davao City
Dynamism of local economy - No. 1 - Makati City; No. 4 - Davao City
Quality of life - No. 1 - Mandaluyong City; No. 7 - Davao City
Responsiveness of local government - No. 1 - San Juan City; No. 3 - Davao City
Human resources & training - No. 1 - Marikina City; No. 7 - Davao City
