The rise of a great City

Week 10. Tagum City's meteoric rise as the fastest growing medium-sized City in the Philippines is undeniably irreversible. It is further affirmed by the recent visit of the second highest post in the country, Vice President Jejomar C. Binay, during Tagum's 14th founding anniversary as a component city. V-Pres.  Binay publicly declared the solid bond of Makati and Tagum's sisterhood similarities and commending the latter's worth emulating private-like economic enterprise governance. After just more than a decade of Citihood, Tagum have proven its worth and been reaping the best practices awards here and abroad. As to chart the direction of the City to where it is heading, the Vice President gave a hunch on his closing speech, acknowledging the City's presence and evidences of all  the right  ingredients and the people's willingness for success.
