Cagayan de Oro City PH’s No. 2 in Infrastructure Competitiveness C
By Mike Baños, Editor-at-Large
AGAYAN de Oro City - One of the major factors which pulled up Cagayan de Oro City to No.2 in the latest overall competitiveness rankings of cities around the country was its infrastructure competitiveness. The City of Golden Friendship ranked second only to Davao City, and was followed by the Metro Manila City of Marikina. Infrastructure scores were based on data on existing road network, distance from city/municipality center to major ports, Department of Tourism-accredited accommodations, health infrastructure, education infrastructure, basic utilities,
infrastructure investments, ICT connection, ATMs, and public transportation. The latest road inventory from the City Engineer’s Office shows Cagayan de Oro City with a total road network of 220 kilometers, 54 percent of which are concrete paved, 43 percent gravel, and the rest earth/ asphalt roads. Some 75% of the roads were reported in good condition and the
rest in fair condition. Although it is some 40 kilometers from the Laguindingan Airport, access has been improved by the ongoing expansion of the Iligan-Cagayan-Butuan Road (ICBR) portion going to the airport from four to six lanes. Two alternate routes have also been opened. Significant increases in public transport vehicles also improved access to key destinations such as the airport, seaports and bus terminals. The number of passenger vans for hire rose 43%, buses by 35%, taxis by 13% and jeepneys 11% from a year ago, no See city, page B7
