PSUPT Dasugo is thankful for creating an online community based group for Lipa City where they can read first hand experiences, feedback and opinion from members. He is also amazed by the number of members LCP currently have and how members are highly engaged in posting and giving comments.

PNP Lipa is actively participating in LCP as well by promoting their programs and providing comments to some posts related to them through their account PCR Lipa. Since his inception last Oct of last year, PSUPT Dasugo is sincere in uplifting the image of City Police when incident of crimes in the City became striking. Last April of this year, Lipa City Police Station was applauded for having 0 crime in a week for the first time in history of Lipa through "Lambat-Sibat" project. Just this week, netizens of LCP praised Lipa Policemen for clearing the highway of Inosluban and Marawoy from illegal parking. He also mentioned that reported cases of drug users and pushers have increased remarkably from estimate 300 to 1,300 cases.

Indonesian Cuisine Is Coming To Lipa

Indonesian cuisine is said to be the most vibrant and colorful cuisines in the world with full of intense flavour. Some of their dishes are bakso (noodle), cap cai (stir fried vegetables), gudeg (vegetable and meat in coconut milk sauce) to name a few.

But the world's best Indonesian cuisines are Rendang and Satay which are #1 and #14 respectively according to CNN Travel. These authentic Indonesian dishes will soon be available to foodies of Lipa City as Sendok and Garpu will open its branch in SM City Lipa.

This incoming restaurant in Lipa is definitely something new in Batangas and will be competing with numerous Filipino, American, Korean, Chinese, Japanese and Italian restaurants available in the city.

Sandok and Garpu will be another first for Lipa and Batangas in general. Their presence will continue to make our city as the food capital of Batangas.

Lipa City Is Now Batangas' Most Populated

According to Philippine Statistics Authority or PSA as of Aug 1 2015 (released May 19 2016), Lipa City is now the most populated among the cities and municipalities of Batangas with 332,386 residents which pushed down Batangas City, capital of Batangas, to #2 spot with 329,874.

Two years ago, I wrote an article in Lipa City Philippines group or LCP that Lipa City will soon become the most populated city of Batangas between 2017 and 2018 but it happened earlier than calculated based on the 3.11% annual growth of Lipa.

With heavy traffic and longer rush hour, multiple new subdivisions from low cost to high end, new commercial establishments that are sprouting like mushrooms and expanding commercial areas of Lipa City, there's no doubt that Lipa has surpassed the capital city of Batangas in terms of population while Lipa remained to be the most commercialized area of Batangas.

At baranggay level, Sta Maria in Sto Tomas pulled up on top as the most populated with 27,843 residents while Sabang stepped down to #2 with 23,535 residents followed by Santa Rita Karsada of Batangas City with 18,276.

I am excited to know the plans of the local government of Lipa in the next 3 years to improve the peace and order of the city, traffic, waste management, readiness for natural calamities and other programs & developments in Lipa considering rush of people coming in the city to work, study and reside.
