Lipa City settled at #82 in Most Competitive Cities of the Philippines (All Cities category) developed by the National Competitiveness Council (NCC) through the Regional Competitiveness Committees (RCCs) with the assistance of the United States Agency for International Development. Lipa City was high at #59 in terms of Economic Dynamism and still low in Government Efficiency, Infrastructure and Resiliency. In previous year, Lipa was at #55.
Neighboring city of Tanauan is on top in this year's ranking among CALABARZON cities. Resiliency category pulled them up where they ranked #1 in the entire country. Binan is now #2 while Antipolo City which was #1 last year came third this year among CALABARZON cities. With the inclusion of Resiliency category, NCC changed the definition of a competitive city.
Overall, Quezon City remained #1 in the entire Philippines while Tagum City is awarded as the most efficient in government services. Similarly, Santo Tomas (Batangas) was awarded #1 in Economic Dynamism among municipalities of the Philippines.
According to National Competitiveness Council, "We believe that with over 100 million people across 7,100 islands, it is important to create more economic engines in the form of local government units to drive long-term economic growth and development. Building these economic engines will disperse investment and job opportunities and spur inclusive growth."

Lipa City Community Park located at Granja, Barangay 7 was previously Lipa Sports Complex and converted into a beautifully landscaped park with Olympic size pool, playground, amphitheater, courts and fishpond during the last term of former Mayor Vilma Santos-Recto.
It was the first of its kind park in Batangas and became a tourist destination of Lipa but due to inconsistency in maintenance and some careless users & visitors, the community park has lost its charm.
Congresswoman Vilma Santos-Recto heard the call of most Lipenos after about 12 years in reviving the community park. Earlier today, she has presented in her FB page the new look of Lipa City Community Park after its rehabilitation. The construction has started and the first phase will have new grand entrance, glass roof corridor, front landscaping, parkour, racetrack, playground set and skateboard park. In 2019; covered amphitheater, covered pool, floor fountain, mini football field, cabanas and renovated courts will be completed and will have its new modern look.
Based on 3D demo of its architecture and designs; Lipa City Community Park will also be a pet friendly park and should be enjoyed by all ages. According to various health blogs and websites, beautiful & clean parks are necessary in a city to foster mental, physical and spiritual health of individuals & families.
We appeal to future users of renovated park to please stop vandalism & to keep the park clean at all times while local government must strictly penalized all who cannot follow cleanliness.
