Metro Manila Market Update Q1 2017
RESEARCH METRO MANILA MARKET UPDATE Q1 2017 METRO MANILA REAL ESTATE SECTOR REVIEW METRO MANILA AND THE THREAT OF EMERGING CITIES The attractiveness of Metro Manila for real estate developers and investors continues to exist. Although highly congested and vacancy rates are constantly dwindling, it is still the best location for business and investment activities. Considering that the seat of government, head offices of key companies, and the most reputable universities and institutions are located in Metro Manila, demand is perceived to always be buoyant and pervasive. The real challenge is innovation and the creation of new stock to cater to the limitless demand. The Philippine National Economic and Development Authority defines Philippine Emerging Cities as cities, relative to Manila, that are rapidly catching up in terms of business activities, innovation and ability to attract people. A few of the notable emerging cities in the Philippines are Angeles (Clark), Cebu, Davao, Iloilo and Zamboanga. Cebu, Davao and Iloilo are top 5, 6 and 8, respectively, among the Philippine Highly Urbanized Cities (HUC) of the country. Angeles City’s makings is supplemented by the much- awaited Clark Green City.

Senatoriables and the Anti-Political Dynasty Bill Claim
Ateneo FactCheck 2013 Fourth Brief Fact Check: Senatoriables and the Anti-Political Dynasty Bill Claim: Candidates, who are members of political dynasties, will not champion or will not support an anti-political dynasty bill in Congress; while candidates, who are NOT members of any political dynasty, are expected to champion and support an anti-dynasty bill. Fact checked: The 1987 Constitution prohibits political dynasties but left it to Congress to enact an enabling anti-political dynasty law. Exactly 26 years after the constitution was enacted and despite several attempts, no such law has been passed by either chamber of Congress. All versions of the bill have not even gone way past the committee level for second reading. Now that the 2013 midterm election is coming, what is to be expected from at least the top 20 candidates vying for a seat in the Senate? While an exact definition is still elusive, it is liberally accepted that political dynasties are those candidates who have more than one family member in any elective public position or are running for elective positions and holding such position for several terms before passing it on to either the immediate or extended family members. Generally the top 20 candidates for the Senate, according to major survey outfits, are dominated by members of well-known political dynasties. Exactly 13 out of the 20 are members of dynasties, namely: Sonny Angara, Bam Aquino, Nancy Binay, Alan Cayetano, Ting-Ting Cojuangco, JV Ejercito, Jack Enrile, Chiz Escudero, Dick Gordon, Ernesto Maceda, Jun Magsaysay, Cynthia Villar and Mig Zubiri. Except for newcomers like Bam Aquino and Nancy Binay, most candidates are veteran or experienced politicians in Congress. -
