One of the best laughs I've had on this site since I joined. I mean if they can't even build a ring road, bypass for the town, what hope for a monorail?

In the Mayor's race Felipe Antonio “Ipe” Remollo emerged as the winner with 29,518 votes, so a possible block of 16,300 votes would receive some good pandering for votes.
So yes, the trike drivers association does have a large political influence in this town.

No! for me, it would be better to Build a New city with all this Infrastructure already there. Like we did in the UK and other countries around the World, they were called New Towns and catered for the City Over spill.
I mean can we try and imagine the Disruption and Additional Traffic problems (Chaos) while it is being Built
I tend to think that any feasibility Study will not take any real time to Say No way Jose.

Just to add up to this news and hopefully shed some light on the idea of a monorail in Dumaguete as I had the opportunity to look at the master plan of the Mayor for the City and be with this Chinese group. The MOU is just a GO signal by the City for the Chinese investors to come and do a feasibility study - nothing is final. The idea of a monorail is just one of the solutions being considered. Other means to ease the traffic in the city are also being looked at, like the e-trike (currently being studied how to be implemented and hopefully replace the old motor-powered trikes), new diversionary roads, even the idea of transferring the city hall to a more strategic location somewhere in the middle of Dumaguete, and add to that, the installation of a much better LED lightings around the city and highways.
It's good to have a forward thinking Mayor (neutral guy here - hate politics - not from Dumaguete - whoever is best must win). Let's see how all these unfold. I believe these plans are for the best and let's support what's worth supporting. And these Chinese investors mentioned sharing and transfer of technology - this is good... as Dumaguete is also considered a university town.- Informative x 2

Will never happen! The trike drivers association run this town and will never change!
Pretty much the whole west side of Negros are running small electric trikes now,I'm sure this lot here know about it and would do something if they wanted to!- Like x 2

It would be a great addition to the region, but I just do not see this happening...
