Education

Naga City is the center of education in Bicol due to the presence of numerous academic institutions including three universities, namely: the Ateneo de Naga University (AdNU), the University of Nueva Caceres (UNC), and the Universidad de Santa Isabel (USI).

The Ateneo de Naga University is the only Jesuit-run university and is the only level III PAASCU-accredited university in Bicol, making it one of the best universities in the region. It has consistently produced top animators in the country since it launched its Bachelor's Degree in Animation. The university also gave birth to the very first Bicolano Jesuit priest, Father Juan Bonafe.

The Universidad de Santa Isabel is the oldest Normal School for girls in the Far East. It is a sectarian school run by the religious Daughters of Charity Sisters. Annually producing the largest number of Registered Nurses in the region when it started its Nursing Degree, it is considered the top Nursing school in the region.

The University of Nueva Caceres is the region's largest university in terms of enrolment. It is also the very first university in Southern Luzon outside Manila. The university is the top-ranked law school in the region, consistently producing Bar passers. John Michael F. Galauran graduated from the university in the said field, garnering the fifth highest spot in the 2007 Philippine Bar examinations.

A university in the making is the Naga College Foundation. It is the leading Criminology school in the region. The Philippine Women's University also has its Career Development and Continuing Education Center in the city, while the University of the Philippines opened its Open University in USI to cater to distant-education students. The Bicol College of Arts and Trade, now Camarines Sur Polytechnic Colleges, has also a large student base in the city. Arch. Antonio Imperial III, who placed 2nd in the 2007 Architecture Board Exam, is a graduate of this school.

The biggest secondary school in the region is also located in the city. Government-run Camarines Sur National High School has always registered over 10,000 enrollees every school year. The oldest specialized live-in Christian higher educational institute for the clergy in the country is also found in Naga City. Established in the early part of the 18th century, the Holy Rosary Seminary (El Seminario del Santissimo Rosario),

From One villa naga

a Roman Catholic seminary run by the Archdiocese of Caceres, has produced 22 bishops, including the first Filipino bishop, Jorge Barlin, and the first Filipino Cardinal to work in the Roman Curia, Jose Cardinal Sanchez. It has richly contributed as well to the national heritage through Jose Ma. Panganiban and Tomas Arejola and 7 of the 15 Bikol Martyrs. On January 29, 1988, the National Historical Institute declared the Holy Rosary Seminary as a National Historical Landmark.

One of the leading maritime schools in the country, Mariners Polytechnic Colleges Foundation, has two campuses in Metro Naga, one along Panganiban Drive and another in Canaman, a suburban town.

The first PAASCU-accredited parochial school in the Philippines can also be found in Naga City. The Naga Parochial School has a big number of alumni priests (63 as of 2007 with 3 bishops) in the city. This is an exclusive Catholic school for boys in the city with Most Rev. Leonardo Z. Legaspi as chair of the Board Trustees. Well-known personalities such as the late Sen. Raul S. Roco, Mayor Jesse M. Robredo, Justice Francis Garchitorena, Gov. Luis R. Villafuerte, Jaime Fabregas, Jonathan Dela Paz Zaens and other leaders of the community are graduates of NPS.

The biggest group of Montessori schools in the Bicol region is also based in Naga City. Arborvitae Plains Montessori, Inc. (formerly Casa Dei Bambini Montessori), a Montessori school with eleven branches spread all over Camarines Sur, Bacolod, and Masbate, offers preschool (Early Childhood Education), elementary and secondary (Business High School) education according to the Montessori method modified for the Philippine curriculum.

The Village Montessori in San Leandro St. is the only school in the Bicol Region that offers the real Montessori method which follows the continuous progression curriculum of the American Montessori System.

All existing schools in the city, including those already named above, offer computer courses. Specialized computer schools have also mushroomed in the city due to popularity of computer courses, both degree and short-term. AMA, which has two branches in the city, and STI College are among the more competitive and well-known computer school chains in the country that have established campuses in the city. Other specialized computer schools include Worldtech Resources Institute (WRI), Philippine Computer Foundation College (PCFC) and CCDI.

Commerce

In 2006, Naga won the Philippines' Most Business-Friendly City award for three consecutive years, thus being elevated to the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industries' Hall of Fame.

Naga City has several commercial business districts (CBD's). In addition, it has a lifestyle center, three shopping malls, plus a number of strip malls scattered at the heart of CBD-I, popularly known as Centro.

Avenue Square along Magsaysay Avenue is Bicol's first and only lifestyle center. It has an ultra-modern 800-seat convention center (Avenue Convention Plaza); a resto-music bar which serves as the "bootcamp" of aspiring local artists (Lolo's Music Bar); restaurants (Max's Restaurant,

Naga Oriental Wok, Shakey's, Peaberry- with its trendy bar Lune, and Little Asia); a specialty coffee shop (The Coffee Beanery); dermatology clinic (Skin Systems); European salon (David's Salon); signature flip-flops shop (Havaianas); and a nationwide franchising drugstore (Mercury Drug), among other well-known stores.

Avenue Plaza Hotel, Bicol's first and only boutique hotel also located along exciting Magsaysay Avenue, had a grand opening in October 2007. The hotel is operating on a four-star rating.

West Park, a new lifestyle center also in Magsaysay Avenue, had a soft opening last September housing a coffee shop (Mocha Blends) and a Japanese fastfood restaurant.

LCC Central Mall - Naga; Robertson Mall; and Nagaland eMall, housing Robinsons Supermarket are the city's other major shopping malls. Bichara Theater Mall; Emily Arcade; Divisoria Mall; and Paseo de Caceres, which has a Chinese-themed Roman Catholic chapel - Navidad de Naga Chapel - are just some of the city's strip malls.

SM Prime Holdings and Landco Pacific Corp. have both expressed interest in the city's capability of hosting bigger shopping complexes. SM broke ground last June 2007 for its first mall in Bicol located at the city's 2nd CBD and has already started the construction last December 2007. The mall costs about more than PhP 700 million, approximately USD 16,305,672.62, and would consist of two buildings, the main mall, which is approximately 40,000 square meters, and the car parking building, which would be at about 18,000-square meter. On the other hand, Landco Pacific, though already owns a property in the city, has yet to start construction of its Pacific Mall Naga.

A number of restaurants, bars and bistros are found along Magsaysay Avenue, dubbed as Naga City's "Malate District". Chili Peppers, Bob Marlin, Grilling Point, Molino Grill, Juno's, ClubM8, and CocoLeaf are just some of the few exciting joints found there. Aside from these restobars that seem to sprout everywhere in Naga, numerous popular fastfood chain outlets abound like Jollibee, McDonald's, Chowking, Pizza Hut, Max's Restaurant, Greenwich, KFC, Shakey's, Tokyo Tokyo, Bacolod Chicken Inasal and the soon to open Tapa King among others.

Naga City offers a wide range of specialty restaurants such as Hokkien (casual Chinese), Makiyaki (Japanese), Peaberry (fine dining), Resto di San Giuseppe (casual yuppie), Gastoff's (German specialties), Clementines' (European), and Green Earth Cafe (health food). For coffee enthusiasts, coffeeshops have also sprung up in strategic places around the city, the more popular being Mudbugs Coffee & Co., Aljosh Cafe, Starmark Cafe, Beanbag Coffee, The Coffee Beanery, Cafe Frederico, Coco Cafe, Cafe Trevi, Cafe R, Australian Mocha Blends and lately Singapore's popular Kopi Roti.

Naga City has several shops that open 24 hours a day. These nonstop businesses include Cody's and Lucky 9 convenience stores, Nald's and Bigg's restaurants, Mercury and New South drugstores.

Naga's investor-friendly economy has encouraged growth and development of homegrown business chains like New South Star Drugstore, Graceland Foods Industries and Bigg's,which are successfully competing nationwide with industry leaders Mercury Drug, Goldilock's and Jollibee, respectively.

Five major car companies have also established their dealership in Naga City. Nissan Motors, Suzuki Auto, Mitsubishi Motors, Kia Motors and Hyundai Motors have been providing excellent car services to Nagueños since then.

Banking and Finance

Naga City has more than 50 bank branches. The city hosts the regional offices of Philippine National Bank, Metrobank, RCBC, Allied Bank, and the Philippine Postal Savings Bank. A number of banks have several branches in the city, like MetroBank, RCBC, Bank of the Philippine Islands, and BDO UniBank. A leading thrift bank, RCBC Savings Bank, enjoys wide patronage of both Filipino and Chinese businessmen. Robinsons Bank of the Gokongwei group has also set up its branch in the city. Two of the biggest rural banks in the country, Bank of Makati and the G7Bank, a consistent Most Outstanding Rural Bank awardee, are also found in the city. Two small albeit very active banks, Asia United Bank and Philippine Farmers Bank, are the two latest banks to open in the city, while Banco de Oro is to open their fourth branch in the city along Magsaysay Avenue.

Transportation and Communication

Naga City is easily accessible by air and land transport. The city is served by Pili Domestic Airport which is located in the provincial capital of Pili. Flights from Manila Domestic Airport (MDA) to Pili takes approximately 35-40 minutes. Air Philippines and Cebu Pacific flies directly from MDA seven times a week. It can also be easily accessed by flying Philippine Airlines, Air Philippines' sister company, via Legazpi City, a nearby city in Albay province. By land, Naga is a 7- to 8-hour ride from Manila via Andaya Highway or 10 hours via the Maharlika Highway. It is approximately 22 hours from Cebu City with ferry transfers in Sorsogon, the southernmost province of the Bicol peninsula. Daily rail services to and from Manila were provided by the Philippine National Railways but these were temporarily discontinued due to systems upgrading.

Naga is well served by several telephone and mobile phone companies. Bayantel and Digitel are the main telephone operators in the city. Other companies which compete keenly for the city's telecommunications market have also put up calling stations scattered all over the city. These are PLDT, PT&T, among others. Major mobile phone operators Globe, Smart, and Sun Cellular enjoy wide patronage.

ABS-CBN had expanded its network in Bicol by putting up ABS-CBN Naga. Local shows such as TV Patrol Bicol and Bicol Espesyal are aired in the whole region via ABS-CBN Regional Network Group which is stationed in the city. ABC5 also airs shows in the city through its affiliate station People's Broadcasting Network (PBN TV 5 Naga). GMA7 is at present constructing its regional station in the city for its nationwide expansion.

Naga City has the most number of radio stations of any locality in the region, some of which operate 24 hours daily. These include RMN DWNX-FM, a very popular local radio in the FM band heard regionwide and even abroad through the Naga City Web site, http://naga.gov.ph/. Other leading stations include ABS-CBN's My Only Radio 93.5 Naga and GMA's Campus Radio 101.5 Naga. Both stations have 10-kilowatt transmitters capable of regionwide broadcast.

The city is host to two local cable TV companies. These are Naga Cable TV and Caceres Cable TV serving almost the whole of the region. SkyCable is also available.
