Talk:Metro Cagayan de Oro

Metro Cagayan de Oro, fact or fiction?
Some people are trying to portray Cagayan de Oro as a highly developed metropolitan area like in Cebu or even Davao when in fact it is not. Let us not get ourselves too "excited". Currently the City Government does not recognize the idea of a Metropolitan Cagayan de Oro. And most of all, the Municipalities of Libona and Manolo Fortich are part of Bukidnon Province. I doubt they would agree to be called part of Metro Cagayan de Oro. I find this article more fiction than fact unless someone could cite references especially coming from the City Government itself.

 * It isn't a hoax, and Metro Cagayan de Oro is recognized by the National Economic and Development Authority as one of the twelve metropolitan areas of the Philippines. The source is cited at the list of metropolitan areas at the Cities of the Philippines article. --Sky Harbor (talk) 13:39, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

When I did my college paper for my Urban Planning and Development subject, based on my research, there is no legal basis yet at least, for the agglomeration of Metro Cagayan de Oro. For a metropolitan area to exist, it should have legal basis by way of an Executive Order or Republic Act.
 * Metropolitan Areas of the Philippines

Currently, only Metro Manila has is its own legislative franchise and recognized as such. Metro Cebu and Metro Davao on the other hand is only recognized by its own urbanity level which Metro Cagayan de Oro does not possess. For Cagayan de Oro City to lead an agglomeration, it should reach at least the 1 million population mark with its surrounding conurbation of local government units contributing another 1 million population.

High population density and built-up areas, including conurbation system are factors considered in determining metropolitan areas.

I am the creator of this page. I believe Metro Cagayan de Oro is a real Metro area. Also Metro Cebu and Metro Davao are real. Coolknot (talk) 07:49, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Where is the government-sourced reference that states that CDO is a metropolitan area? --seav (talk) 03:09, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

1998 NEDA-PIDS Study
Metro Cagayan de Oro concept was based on a NEDA-PIDS discussion paper in 1998 (http://dirp3.pids.gov.ph/ris/dps/pidsdps9814.pdf). The front page of the paper states that the document was for discussion only. No legal references (Executive or Congressional Act) was mentioned for the establishment of Metro CDO.

For Metro Cagayan de Oro to be realized, the city with the coordination of local government units should establish a Metropolitan Council similar to Manila's MMDA to oversea the general operations of the metropolis. However this does not exist to this date. If you read the Wikipedia article about Metro Davao, it even admits that Metro Davao is merely an informal reference to the area and does not have any legal basis or framework to speak off because it has not established a Metropolitan Council.

Large population discrepancy
While the infobox lists an undated population of 602,088, the lead has a 2007 population of 1,121,561 (without an inline citation). That's quite a difference; which is correct?  Mini  apolis  17:27, 17 September 2013 (UTC)
