  YOUNG AND PROMISING: The thriving new cities of Mindanao: Philippine Facilitation Project: U.S. Institute of Peace
There are 27 cities in the six regions of Mindanao, 11 of them we classified as new, having been converted only in the last eight years, after local leaders had tasted the benefits of local autonomy brought about by the implementation of the Local Government Code of 1991.
The advantage of being converted into a city only recently is that an LGU has had the chance to plan well from the time that its conversion was being proposed, says Romeo Aniñon, who has been planning and development coordinator of Digos since 1987, when it was still a municipality.
The city government was able to purchase the necessary textbooks for all grade school and high school levels, provide computers in every public school, and send teachers to trainings and seminars.
