The Davao City Economic Enterprises (CEE) generated an income of P177.7 million in 2022, increasing by 26.5 percent from the P140.4 million that the office collected in 2021.
CEE officer-in-charge Maximo P. Macalipes Jr., during Thursday’s I-Speak Forum at the City Hall Conference Room, however, said the 2022 collection only hit 88.18 percent of the 2022 collection target set for the office, amounting to P201,525 million.
“We were just short of P6.6 million to be at par with the 2019 income collection. Thus, we are bouncing back to pre-pandemic conditions,” he said, adding that they will continue to aim for the missed 2022 collection target this year.
Macalipes said the marketing operations remained the highest-grossing operations cluster accounting for 67.38 percent of the overall income.
Davao City’s eight public markets generated a total income of P119,731,612.94 or 106.31% of the P112,625,000 target.
He cited the Bankerohan Public Market as the top income grosser among other economic enterprise units in 2022.
Bankerohan, which collected P50,942,641.73, exceeded its P40 million target by 127.36 percent.
Three other public markets also smashed their collection targets, including the Calinan Public Market, Mintal (Tugbok) Public Market, and Agdao Public Market.
Calinan collected P10,942,899.87, surpassing its P9.7 million target by 112.81 percent while Mintal recorded P5,883,532.63 or 106.97 percent of its P5.5 million target, and Agdao had an income of P29,518,477.64 or 105.42 percent of its P28 million target.
Public markets that failed to reach their collection goals were Toril (P21,762,716.06, 79.72 percent of P27.3 million target); Tibungco (P343,814.63, 37.17 percent of P925,000 target); Bunawan (P316,971.54, 31,70 percent of P1 million target); and Lasang (P20,609.25, 10.30 percent of P200,000 target).
Meanwhile, operations in the city’s 11 public cemeteries collected a total of P21,624,185.03 or 64.36 percent of the P33.6 million target.
The breakdown of their 2022 collections from the public cemeteries: Bunawan – P849,803.85, Calinan – P719,007.81; Lubogan (Toril) – P4,156,935.40; Maa – P1,206,441.40; Mintal – P1,774,289.55; Panacan – P385,168.78; Tagakpan – P61,859,54; Tibungco – P3,015,077.87; Tugbok – P810,084.09; and Wireless – P8,645,516.74.
The slaughterhouse operations in Calinan, Maa, Malagos, and Toril also contributed to CEE’s income with a collection of P23,802,699.77, which is 52.78 percent of the P45.1 million target. CIO
