Cebu-Japan cooperation largely hinges on Cebu’s economic competitiveness which manifests itself through its quality human resources, its dynamic export sector and tourism industry, its proximity to international entry and exit points, its infrastructures, its cost of doing business, its quality of life and the responsiveness of LGU to business needs. On the other hand, Cebu, as a destination of Japanese investments, is hampered by the relatively high wages of both unskilled and skilled labor, an unstable wage rate environment and moderately high costs of telecommunication, water, gas, and container transport. With this, the exercise on cost-benefit analysis yielded positive gains for Cebu’s economy. The foreign exchange loss, driven by the balance of trade deficit between Cebu and Japan, and the foregone corporate income taxes were offset by the Japanese direct investments, salaries and mandatory contributions of

    World Chambers Competition Best job creation and business development project Negros Oriental Chamber of Commerce and Industry The Philippines FINALIST I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Negros Oriental Chamber of Commerce and Industry Inc. (NOCCI), being the only recognized voice of business in the Province of Negros Oriental, Philippines, developed the TIP PROJECT or the TRADE TOURISM and INVESTMENT PROMOTION ("TIP" for short) PROJECT to support its mission in conducting trade, tourism and investment promotion, business development activities and enhancement of the business environment of the Province of Negros Oriental. The TIP Project was conceptualized during the last quarter of 2013 and was launched in January, 2014 as the banner project of the Chamber to support its new advocacy for inclusive growth and local economic development through job creation and investment promotion. The banner project was coined from the word “tip” - which means giving sound business advice or sharing relevant information and expertise to all investors, businessmen, local government officials and development partners. The TIP Project was also conceptualized to highlight the significant role and contribution of NOCCI as a champion for local economic development and as a banner project of the Chamber to celebrate its Silver 25th Anniversary by December, 2016. For two years, from January, 2015 to December, 2016, NOCCI worked closely with its various partners in local economic development like the Provincial Government, Local Government Units (LGUs), National Government Agencies (NGAs), Non- Government Organizations (NGOs), Industry Associations and international funding agencies in implementing its various job creation programs and investment promotion activities to market Negros Oriental as an ideal investment/business destination for tourism, retirement, retail, business process outsourcing, power/energy and agro-industrial projects.

  • In an Earlier Email to the Tanjay Loop, I Mentioned That Per His Homily, Our Tanjay Parish Priest Was Reportedly Leaving, Cutting Short His 6 Year Stint
    THE BOHOL EXODUS In an earlier email to the Tanjay loop, I mentioned that per his homily, our Tanjay parish priest was reportedly leaving, cutting short his 6 year stint. This was greeted with much jubilation by so many. Alas, it appears to have been an April Fool's joke. This would again make the religious services of the approaching Holy Week especially trying for many of the faithful here. So when members of the large family clans of the Limbagas, Alcan- taras, Quinits, etc (all inter-related) decided to troop up to a hinterland Barrio of Tayawan, to attend the ser- vices of one of their very own, Fr Jun Limbaga, newly assigned priest in the area, we opted to join the group. He is Google map of Tayawan barrio (upper right), on a plateau, and Bayawan related to Lisa on two sides. City (lower left). Took 5 hours' drive from Tanjay by van. North is to the right. Aside from being also the parish priest's name, Bohol is name of an island with lovely beaches, where many of us have visited. In all fairness, perhaps the clan members would have gone anyway to attend part Holy Week services of Fr Jun, regardless of the Tanjay situation. This makes the subject title of "Exodus" applicable perhaps only to us, but who knows really? Photo above right shows the location of the barrio. Photos below show the paved and unpaved sections of the back roads leading up to Tayawan. A stitched view of the church and the unfinished social hall.
