Sagay is the 3rd competitive component city in Negros Island, 14th most improved in the country

Sagay City is the third most competitive component city in Negros Island, and the 14th most improved among other component cities in the country, latest records from the Department of Trade and Industry showed.

DTI’s 2024 Competitive Index, Sagay is one of the top competitive component cities in Negros next to Cadiz and Kabankalan.

With a score of 35.1124 across the four pillars of governance, Sagay is the 14th most improved component city in the country, as it rose from 93rd last year to 80th this year.

Mayor Narciso Javelosa, Jr. lauded the efforts of the city government employees and the Sagaynons as this improvement in the competitive index rankings shows that the future is bright for the city.

“More projects and infrastructures are rising in the city, let us continue to work together as our competitiveness ranking indicates that our city thrives towards progress,” Javelosa said.

Rankings of Cities and Municipalities are based on the sum of their scores on 4 Pillars: Economic Dynamism, Government Efficiency, Infrastructure, Resiliency, and Innovation.

Sagay City ranked 6th in resiliency among other component cities in the country, while 19th in infrastructure, 93rd in government efficiency, 109th in innovation, and 113th in economic dynamism.

Of all the Negros Island component cities, Cadiz is the most competitive, which is also from the 2nd congressional district of Negros Occidental.
