no offense, but whew!.. to much pride heh? and you even separate Davao from Mindanao. You already stated one weakness.

I have nothing against Davao since I was there, been to your malls and and I even love eating Durian even if some are ignorant to eat it because of the smell.

I can see Davao will soon make its own mark when it comes to the city's economy but for now they should plan it well, because when it happens it will be hard to avoid those lawless element to make some noise as what is happening here in Cebu. imho

I can't remember ever separating Davao and Mindanao. Wonder why I always mention Mindanao here when in fact this thread is between Cebu and Davao? That's because I DON'T separate Davao and Mindanao. And yes I'm a proud Dabawenyo and more proud Mindanaon.

I think I get what you mean by "You already stated one weakness." I don't agree with you, though. It's our weakness? That very wrong perception is theirs. It's their weakness.

Economic growth doesn't have to come at the expense of peace and order and cleanliness. They can be achieved together. It's obvious you are poorly informed of Davao's history. Let me regale you a bit of it. The city has a dark history. 25, or so, years ago Davao was dubbed the murder capital of the Philippines. You can also imagine how dirty the city was at the time. Then Duterte came. He purged Davao of all evil, and not only that, he also cleaned its mess, literally. Here's one of the philosophy he lives by: "Criminals don't have the monopoly of evil". Here's another: "I will do what is good for the greatest number." It's a long list. I'm pretty sure you're familiar with his methods. They may be controversial but they're extremely successful. Davao owes a lot to him. It may not be obvious to you, since obviously you haven't been here, but Davao has been growing since the great mayor Duterte became leader. Now his daughter is taking his place as mayor but he's just right behind her as vice mayor. And tell you what, Davao now is at its most progressive and it's never been more peaceful, orderly and clean ever. As it continues to progress I can only predict it will only become even more peaceful, more orderly and more clean.

You see, what drive Davao's growth is the success of the city government. It's not the other way around like in your city. And apparently Davao's neighbors are following suit. Tagum city is a great example. They also have a skillful mayor. Other city governments can only dream of emulating Davao city government's success. So don't say Davao should plan well to avoid lawlessness when its economy makes a mark (whatever that means). When it comes to planning for lawlessness, Davao is light years ahead of the pack. We're the best at it.

why so defensive kung naay di ganahan sa davao? they are entitled to their own opinion. i like davao. i live in davao for 4 years, lived in cebu for 5 years now. if i have it my way, i would have want to live in davao, but my opportunity is here. pero di ta dapat masuko kung wala nila nakita ang davao sama sa atong pagkakita sa davao.

i agree. the problem with media is that when they are talking about a clash of abu sayaff, milf, mnlf ug uban pa sa basilan or sa southern part, mindanao na dayun ila isulti. well, its not the whole of mindanao. infact Mindanao is predominantly Christian, unlike the perception of a lot of people na muslim area ang MIndanao. but can you blame them? can tell them their ignorant? thats unfair. thats their perception because mao na ginafeed sa tv. do not blame them. ako man, kapila na ko balik sa Manila, never man ko nahold up, never ko nakawatan. pero makita nimo sa news, na daghan kagubot sa manila, daghan kawat, daghan tulis, etc etc. mao sad na ako tan-aw. manila is a very dangerous place to be. pero pag adto nimo, its not as bad as you see on tv, di ba?

again, way competition diri. gipangutana lang usa ka tao kung aha iya ganahan or dili. and reasons are even irrelevant. naa man gani tao ganahan lang siya didto kay ganahan siya period. naa sad uban with all its negatives and positives, cebu or davao ila ganahan simply because its home to them.

Okay, I admit I was being irascible. I overreacted. You're right. I knew it a long time ago: to each his own. But for a moment there I lost it. I lost my sanity. I'm deeply sorry for my action. Pila ra man katao ako gikalagutan diri dili man tanan. Cge man gud na cla balik2 anang bakak nila. Pwede man ta maghinambogay but unta lang no hitting below the belt. Ayaw lang jud ng gamiton ng among pagka Mindanao para dautan mi. Please lang unta. Mao ra man ako.

You might also want to know, I'm a proud Dabawenyo. Yes. I'm a proud Mindanaon. Yes. But beyond those I'm a proud Filipino. I want the best for all the Philippines not only for Davao and Mindanao.

For now here's my honest take on the subject "Asa nindut puy-an or suroyan: Cebu or Davao?:

Davao kung puy-an. Cebu kung suroyan. Love me or hate me, that's my honest opinion without bias or prejudice.

But I dream of the day when both Cebu and Davao are both nindut suroyan ug nindot puyan.

[davaobred]

there are also cheaper resorts in Mactan or around the Cebu Province but if you're referring to those International Hotels which are also located there then yes they are high, that's the result of commercialization, which is bad for those locals and the average pinoys.

Davao also has expensive Resorts, am I right?

OT:


Rules are Rules, if you think mods is not sensible enough then use those giant fonts and excessive emoticons and you'll see.

Well, if that is the case, they definitely need to rethink some of the rules.

@davaobred:

I hope you read my previous reply, I visited Davao already. I took my first course in Gensan [NDDC] and been roaming in Davao during my free time, so basically I've been there. and it's in your post actually you always states "Davao and Mindanao", I think it should be "Davao and other areas in Mindanao".

When it comes to economy, any bad publicity will be a weakness of a city or a country.
it you look at it on a different way that "it's their perception" then theres no problem with that, but when it comes to investors points of view its basically a weakness. if you're going to compare the number of investors, [no offense] but Davao is way behind Cebu check our revenue as proof.

I always admired Duterte when it comes to peace and order, and I think its a good tandem if their going to run as Pres. and VPres, Osmeña is obviously as the president since he has more knowledge when it comes to our economy[Phil] and most of all international connections.

OT:
if you really feel that Davao has a good economy/opportunities to offer to their locals, then tell it to those Davaoeños who are working here in Cebu. I don't want to debate when it comes to revenue because it's an OT already.

so, kung aha dapit ang nindot suroyan, it will always depend on a person, and in my humble opinion I would say Cebu. [aside from it offers lots of opportunities compared to Davao].

hai nglalis nah. both ganahan ko mupuyo basta naai yuta, matukuran ug balai ug masuruyan...

[davaobred]

no offense taken bai. i understand your point. proud man jud ta kung asa ta gikan (bisan asa pa ta gikan). i guess kadtong nistorya about bombing & chaos sa mindanao nagcge rato tan-aw TV. yes, naay threat sa mindanao (& sometimes sa davao), but di man tawn na taga-adlaw oi. Partly bai, sala na sa Media (plus the gov't). they create fear, rather than promoting the place, mas mahadlok na hinoon ang tao moadto. Why can't all TV networks devote at least 5min advertisement about a certain province for free. I Hope that one day everybody will be able to travel anywhere in the country (Apari to Sulu). I hope someday we will break that wall that we've created amongst us pinoy (& most especially the "Crab Mentality"). Di nalng ta ni lalison kinsa maayo puy-an kay personal preference raman jud na. personally, i'd like to visit Davao (& posibly live there). I want to go to the place where my mama was born. cheers!

Mao pud bai. Sorry keu sa kong way pakabuot. Nashock lang jud ko atong isa ka taga cebu diri sa iyahang gpanulti about davao. in a matter-of-fact manner p jud nia giingon. saun ra keu isa iya musulti ato. ambot pud sa iya ui. ESTORYAHEE keu to cya. mgsure2 lang unta sya sa iyang iingon. as in jud nibukal akong dugo. but i'm calm now. thank you
