What’s new in Butuan City?

Butuan City is improving as how it should be. It has been categorized as a highly urbanized city since 1985 but doesn’t get a lot of buzz around the internet and the national television. It’s airport the Bancasi Airport is one of the busiest in the Philippines. It has daily domestic flights and people just fly in and fly out Butuan.

So let me share to you the upcoming scenes in Butuan City, what we have now and what to expect in the coming months of 2016;

1. Ace Medical Center Butuan is an 8 storey building  that will rise beside the Commission on Audit Building at Brgy. Villakanangga. An additional to a good number of hospitals and medical centers that is already servicing the city. This medical center will soon cater to the needs of the growing number of population in Butuan as we are expecting a number of migrants and new families choosing Butuan City to be their permanent home. Ace Medical Center will also be servicing the neighboring cities and municipalities of Butuan.

This improvements are great news to the local Butuanons and its neighboring municipalities and cities. It will open a great number of job and business opportunities for the locals that means greater opportunity for a better life and a progressive life.
