CDO disputes AIM survey results..

The mayor of Cagayan de Oro, the Honorable Constantino Jaraula, reacted on the study conducted by the Asian Institute of Management (AIM) saying that it was basically flawed. He questioned why the city was classified as a medium-sized city when its population already reached 561,000 in 2006. As a consequence, CDO ranked 11th which surprisingly, was 2 points lower than Butuan City. For more details, please click this.

cebu pacific promo fare

Tomorrow, July 9, is the last day of cebu pacific's promo of its airline fare.  One way ticket to Butuan costs at P1,499 only, which is about P1,000 lower than its lowest regular fare.  If my memory serves me right, cebu pacific has extended its promo period for twice already.  Maybe this will be their last..  Wih the rising commodity prices, you should take advantage of this!  For details, click on this.

butuan placed no. 9 among the top 10 livable cities

Butuan City, a.k.a Timber City, is slowly regaining its strength in terms of development. According to the assessment made by the Asian Institute of Management (AIM) policy center in 2007, Butuan City ranked no. 9 among the top 10 livable cities in the Philippines. It beat Cagayan de Oro City which placed only no. 11 among those mid-sized competitive cities. To read more, click this.

FYI, my hometown, Surigao City, placed no. 3 among those most competitive small sized cities in the country. How's that? :)

i am earning over P100 thousand a year without doing anything

I didn't realize it! not until now.. I've been earning P100 thousand a year from house rentals. Right now, i collect P9 thousand each month, although not much, but that's what i still call it as LOI - living on interest. I could have earned as much as P15 thousand a month, however, it would take a lot of effort due to circumstances beyond my control (for one, i live a thousand miles away from butuan city, hence i could not personally manage it).

Speaking of Living on Interest a.k.a. passive income, i am now hesitant whether it is still wise for me to push through with the selling of my property. In 10 years, i would have accumulated a total of P1 million worth of revenues. But if i invest such earnings to a high-yield investment undertaking, it would double its value in just six years (at least).

Please help me decide.. should i still sell my property?

investment opportunity

The location of my property is considered an investment already. Sources told me that there is a plan to make the Villa Kanangga Road a national highway connecting from the new 2nd bridge and Bukidnon alternate road, way past the Provincial Capitol and Gaisano Mall to the existing national highway. Also, rumor has it that Limketkai Mall (the biggest mall in Cagayan de Oro City) has purchased a huge lot somewhere in Villa Kanannga. Aside from the fact that my property is near the church, Gaisano Mall, and Provincial Capitol, it is very accessible to the downtown area as compared to those low-quality housing subdivisions that are mushrooming miles farther from the city proper. You see, in the near future, the cost of real properties in that area will surge high.
