June 19, 2025 – The Danao City Government continues to strengthen its push for economic growth as it holds a strategic investment meeting with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) to align efforts in attracting investors and boosting local economic activity.

Mayor Mix Durano, Vice Mayor Nito Durano, and key department heads meet with officials from DTI Cebu and DTI Region 7, including Ma. Theresa Sederiosa, Chief of the Industry Development Division, who commends Danao for its proactive leadership.

“Before we do our investment mission, we want to partner with LGUs who are proactive — which DANAO is one,” Sederiosa says, highlighting Danao City’s readiness to welcome more opportunities for growth.

During the meeting, Danao City presents its Priority Investment Programs and Projects, reinforcing its commitment to inclusive and sustainable development. In turn, DTI presents the Danao City Investment Roadshow, reaffirming its full support in helping the city connect with potential investors.

DTI also recognizes Danao City as one of the major contributors to the Gross Domestic Regional Product (GDRP) in Central Visayas — a strong testament to the city’s growing role in the region’s economy.

This partnership builds on the milestones the city has achieved in recent years. In 2024, Danao City is awarded as the Top 1 Most Improved Component City in the Philippines and the Most Competitive Component City in Cebu Province, underscoring its upward trajectory in governance, economic dynamism, and infrastructure development.

With strong partnerships and a clear investment roadmap, Danao City moves forward with confidence — building a future-ready, investor-friendly, and economically vibrant city.
