Puerto Princesa City, Palawan, Pinamalayan, Oriental Mindoro, and Romblon, Romblon, top the list of most improved LGUs among Highly Urbanized Cities (HUCs), 1st to 2nd Class Municipalities, and 3rd to 4th Class Municipalities nationwide, respectively.
In the recently conducted 8th Annual Regional Competitiveness Summit via Facebook live, several LGUs in MIMAROPA were named as among the top LGUs according to the Cities and Municipalities Competitiveness Index (CMCI) 2020.
The CMCI is an annual ranking of Philippine cities and municipalities developed by the National Competitiveness Council through the Regional Competitiveness Committees (RCCs) with the assistance of the United States Agency for International Development. For 2020, CMCI ranks over 1,000 local government units across the country on economic dynamism, government efficiency, infrastructure, and resilience.
According to the CMCI, the framework integrated the following four convergent pillars of local economic development and competitiveness:
ECONOMIC DYNAMISM is usually associated with activities
that create a stable expansion of business and industries and higher
employment.
GOVERNMENT EFFICIENCY refers to the quality and reliability
of government services and government support for effective and sustainable
productive expansion.
INFRASTRUCTURE refers to the physical building blocks that
connect, expand, and sustain a locality and its surroundings to enable the
provision of goods and services.
RESILIENCY is the capacity of a locality to facilitate
businesses and industries to create jobs, raise productivity, and increase the
incomes of citizens over time despite the shocks and stresses it encounters.
Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) – MIMAROPA Regional Director Joel B. Valera is confident that the cities and municipalities in the region will sustain if not surpass their respective ranks in the CMCI 2020. Regional Director Valera likewise believes that the ranking results reflect the unceasing commitment of the LGUs towards holistic societal development far beyond the geographical limits of the region’s island-provinces.
