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
Overall among the metro cities:
1. Davao City
2. Quezon City
3. Makati City
4. Manila City
5. Marikina City
6. Lapu-lapu City
7. Paranaque City
8. Muntinlupa City
9. Cebu City
10. Pasay City
Olongapo City topped the mid-sized cities while San Fernando, La Union was No. 1 among small cities.
I love DC. :)

Macross Frontier Addiction

I can't get enough of this anime.

Macross Frontier is set In the year 2059 AD, the human race has overcome the crisis of imminent extinction resulting from the inter-planetary war against giant aliens. Now, emphasizing species preservation, they set out for the far corners of the Galaxy to find new frontiers. It's the sequel to that famous anime in the late 80's, Macross.

The fighterjet/mech robo valkyries has captured many endearing fans. The series has spawned lots of material in different media such as movies, anime, games, and toys. One thing worth mentioning is the Macross game on the Famicom game console. I love that game! Too bad my Famicom is broken.. all 10 of them. (They only last for a couple of hours and poof!.. dead.. scrap metal.)



i absolutely love the mecha but what i love even more are the songs which the leading lady sings, Ranka-chan. Kawaii!! hehe.
