DAET: RANK 1 OVER-ALL MOST COMPETITIVE MUNICIPALITY IN THE PHILIPPINES 2014!

DAET bagged the Rank 1 spot in the Overall Most Competitive Municipalities in the Philippines for 2014. Daet also got the Rank 1 spot in terms of Infrastructure.

Daet was the only Municipality in the Bicol Region that was included in the TOP 10 Overall Competitiveness 2014 (Municipalities ranking).

Developing a competitive advantage across several variables has proven successful for the top-ranked cities and municipalities in the Cities and Municipalities Competitiveness Index (CMCI) 2014 of the National Competitiveness Council.

Launched earlier today (August 7) at the Regional Competitiveness Summit 2014, the CMCI measures competitiveness at the local government level using 28 indicators grouped into three equally-weighted pillars: Economic Dynamism, Government Efficiency, and Infrastructure. Scores on each pillar were combined to form the overall score used to rank cities and municipalities.

The CMCI 2014 featured a record number of 136 cities and 399 municipalities, up from 122 cities and 163 municipalities in the pilot run in 2013.

Leading the roster of the most competitive cities this year were Makati City, Cagayan de Oro (Misamis Oriental), and Naga (Camarines Sur). For municipalities, Daet (Camarines Norte) was ranked the most competitive overall, followed by General Trias (Cavite) and Kalibo (Aklan).

Overview of the CMCI

The Cities and Municipalities Competitiveness Index 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.

The rankings are based on data collected and submitted by the RCCs.

Cities and municipalities are ranked on their competitiveness based on an overall competitiveness score. The overall competitiveness score is the sum of scores on three main pillars which pool data from several sub-indicators. The three main pillars are: economic dynamism, government efficiency and infrastructure.

Scores are determined by the values of the actual data, as well as the completeness of the submitted data. The higher the score of a city or municipality, the more competitive it is.
