Sub Article Economy

L.S. ,

The sub-article Economy contains the following short paragraph QUOTE Cebu has also ranked eighth among the Top 10 Asian Cities of the Future in a list compiled by the Foreign Direct Investment (FDi) magazine of the Financial Times group.[9] In 2010, Cebu has also been included in the ranking of Globalization and World Cities Research Network (GaWC) of cities in the world with "Sufficiency" presence.[10] UNQUOTE .

Remarks : 01. The links don't work but reroutes to a Brazilian server that can't find the webpages . 02. The Foreign Direct Investment ( FDI ) Lists that I've checked since 2000 only mentions Cebu once . In a 2009 - 2010 sub-shortlist ( ergo NOT the main overall cities ranking list ) for Cost Effectiveness , behind Davao City And Manila City . Cebu ( City ? ) was ranked 6th in this sub-shortlist , one of 7 shortlists that together with other data ( predominantly FDI data ) form the overall ranking of the Top 10 . Also one could question as to whether or not the authors really do mean Cebu City or Metro Cebu or Cebu Province ( this Wikipedia Article is about Cebu City specifically remember ) ? 03. I couldn't find an 8th place for Cebu ( City ) mentioned anywhere and to reflect these facts , this 1st sentence should be deleted . 04. Likewise , Cebu City is only mentioned once in a list compiled by the GaWC (= Geography Department at Loughborough University that focuses upon research into the external relations of world cities ) , namely the classification list of 2010 . However mentioning this fact , which no other city profile does ( and shouldn't ) , serves no purpose . Cebu is not a world city , regardless of what one chooses to believe in the media hype . Also , Cebu hadn't made this lowest of presence categories before and could very well not make this list next time in 2014 . NB ! There are 12 classification lists and Cebu City got placed on the lowest list ( list 12 in 2010 ) just the once , since 2000 . Why oh why would anyone think that this should be advertised , it really doesn't serve any purpose . Remember too , that no other city from this research advertises their rankings , if one would call it that .

Ergo , I've removed the text , not to offend anyone but simply to reflect the facts as they're presented , not to hype it up ok ? Cebu has also ranked eighth among the Top 10 Asian Cities of the Future in a list compiled by the Foreign Direct Investment (FDi) magazine of the Financial Times group.^[1] In 2010, Cebu has also been included in the ranking of Globalization and World Cities Research Network (GaWC) of cities in the world with "Sufficiency" presence.^[2] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.92.72.214 (talk) 03:34, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Remove Hiligaynon

The same problem I had with Cebu (province) page. I could not find a verified claim that declared Hiligaynon as a native language of the province. So, whoever keeps adding it despite being corrected, please reply to this message with the PDF or source link of a statistical study that classified Hiligaynon as a native language of the city. Because as far as I know and observed, Hiligaynon is only a minority language in the city, that is, mostly spoken my immigrants. 124.217.16.80 (talk) 12:39, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In pre-Hispanic section, supposedly "challenging" the kingdom claim

I read the source in this article: A Chinese Gazetteer of Foreign Lands

This Xilonggong is in Borneo, very far from Cebu. It said, "countries of Xilonggong", possibly saying that it is a village in the country in Borneo. AlienGuy456789 (talk) 02:49, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
