Lipa City Down By 4 Notches in 2015 Philippines' Most Competitive Cities

Lipa City in National Ranking was #24 in 2013, #57 in 2014 and now fell to only #61 in the over-all ranking by National Competitiveness Council.

It was Infrastructure which pulled Lipa down behind other CALABARZON cities in over-all ranking. Last year, Lipa City finished at an impressive #39 rank in Infrastructure but dropped to #71 this year. However, there was a notable improvement in terms of Economic Dynamism and a bit of Government Efficiency.

In Component Cities category, Lipa is #13 nationwide and #7 in CALABARZON which is still behind Calamba, Batangas, Imus, Bacoor, Antipolo, and Dasmarinas. Tanauan is #18 while Santa Rosa is #21.

With 3 years of consistently going down the rankings among Cities of the Philippines, this should be a real challenge for Lipa City and its local government to focus on how it will be more efficient and how it will attract more investors and tourists considering Lipa has already an dvantage in terms of location and weather.
