Does this ABC station stand for the American Broadcasting Company?? Jaberwocky6669 00:02, Mar 30, 2005 (UTC)

What does it stand for? Jaberwocky6669 05:38, Apr 1, 2005 (UTC)

Ahh, it stands for Associated Broadcasting Company. I only needed to know in order to clear the page from a disambiguation page. Thank you tremendously! Jaberwocky6669 02:51, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)

There is another Legazpi to the Northwest near Lingayen Gulf. Encarta's maps show that city as Legazpi and this one as Legaspi. I'm reading my uncle's memoir of his experience in WWII and he states that the Japanese landed at Legaspi, Lingayen and Desmortes. Since the other Legazpi is inland, I figure the landing must have been at this one.

May I say ascribing to Legazpi as "de facto capital of the Bicol Region" is rather a difficult & baseless proposition, a preposterous claim considering the presence of a more preeminent & progressive Bicolano city in Naga (per international and national recognition awards received, no. of bank offices and size of total deposits per central bank statistics, infrastructure, etc.) From my very frequent travels to, readings, and personal knowledge of the two places, it would certainly appear that Legazpi is anything but the "de facto capital".--Bicololdtimer 07:06, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your input Bicololdtimer. However, I must point out that Legazpi is effectively the capital of the Bicol Region and it is not "baseless" to say so because all the Region's government offices are located there. Furthermore, nearly all the Region's government business is conducted in the city. The last time I checked they haven't been magically teleported to Pili, Camarines Sur, much less Naga City, much as I admire these two places. No matter how "progressive" and "preeminent" you may think Naga is, it is still not the Region's capital. On the other hand, it IS baseless to claim that Naga City is "undeniably the most progressive city" in the Region without any references or sources to back up this claim. It also violates Wikipedia's NPOV policy as this sort of language is far from neutral. I would also like to point out, with all due respect, that your personal observations based on your travels are NOT sufficient indicators of a city's "progressiveness". --87.194.3.169 21:24, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

With all due respect to bicololdtimer, he is a practical tourist, so-to-speak. As an Irish-American oldtimer in the Bicol, too, travelling and doing business all the time, too, I feel bicololdtimer says what he sees, which is practical. But I tend to believe him. Naga is indeed most progressive of any place in Bicol and that includes Legazpi where I've resided since past 2 decades. I think Wikipedia does not constrain contributions that simply inform and are verifiable. Why don't you come over to see for yourself? If I say and write here that Mayon volcano is a beauty to behold because of its perfect cone, you must be joking if you require me to present "references and sources to back up this claim". People may not have time for that other than as what bicololdtimer says, he reads, hears, sees from his travels, etc..--Frank maloy 06:54, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Frank Maloy, aka as the "Irish-American oldtimer" (in other words, not the same person as Bicololdtimer, ahem...), I'm afraid the analogy with Mayon Volcano simply does not work. Personal descriptions of Mayon are inherently subjective and are of course not objectively verifiable. However, the same cannot be said for a city's claims of "progressiveness" if this is understood in an economic or social sense for which data do exist and should be called on to support such claims. "Why don't you come over and see for yourself" - it would be insane if we all did this for each Wikipedia article - I don't think it's a very "practical" methodology, do you? --87.194.3.169 15:27, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. We're all refreshed and challenged by your unique albeit paranoiac point of view. You must be told the cityhood of Legazpi always involved our dear sweet little town of Daraga. Largest city, baloney! Even the writer's claim of Legazpi as so-called top tourist destination happened because of Mayon volcano, which for your education is better visited in Daraga. You want references and sources, then read enough. Ms. Ravanilla herself Regional DOT director has time and again reported in various fora that our neighbors Camarines Sur and Naga City have surpassed us and are the top tourist destinations since 2006. Why don't you call her up to tell her she lies? So let’s cut the BS. Wake up! Legazpi can’t go it alone unlike the other city. Reming told it all = it showed our weakness while showing the other's strength in time of crisis. So where is our so-called progress? I don't see it in Legazpi, do you? Your so-called political center came into being helped by a presidential fiat, and not because Legazpi by itself was a meritorious location. Were it not for the presidential desire to assure Mayon Imperial Hotel's viability, then it would not have occured at all. If you don't know that or have the impudence to refute it, then you're hopeless. As it is, we could have been saved from the disaster, inconvenience, and embarrassment of hosting so many gov't. offices under eternal threat of Mayon, which, mind you again, is not in Legazpi.--Metro Daraga 13:53, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

I will not even dignify the above puerile outburst with any response, it speaks for itself.

I will however, engage with constructive comments from those who do not have multiple personalities. --87.194.3.169 21:36, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

What a classic flight! LOL! I think I’ll agree with you my talk really speaks for itself as it is full of facts about Legazpi you can’t even refute. LOL! But what is it really with people suddenly faced with incontrovertible facts taking to flight? Simple! Answer comes from a well-known author: “It is the mark of a weak mind that puts to flight from all substantive discussions. It’s owner is at once ludicrous and uninspiring, childish and of the race of small minds.” Finally, please never attempt to dignify. With the kind of thinking you have exhibited, you are simply not up to it. But let me promise you to be nicer if you'll try being smart. LOL! (By the way, am female (metro daraga), so your use of the word “puerile” coming from the Latin root word “puer” meaning “boy” is inappropriate. Be careful, you might meet truly dignified people who think deep.)

sorry, forgot to sign my talk, previous was mine.--Metro Daraga 13:52, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Methinks someone is trying very hard to attract my attention...I thought this was obvious, but apparently it needs to be reiterated: this page is for discussions relevant to Legazpi City only. It is NOT meant to be a personal diary or blog of someone's psychological or emotional issues. I'm sorry but I cannot get involved in this. Please look elsewhere for a babysitter, thank you. --87.194.3.169 23:27, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

After assiduously reviewing the article, I am constrained to tag it as unreferenced. A lot of the information given are simply inaccurate. For one, alluding to Legazpi as de facto capital of Bicol is simply not right, even outrageous. The city may be the location of several government regional offices, but that does not make it capital of the Bicol region which does not exist strictly as a political entity. These regional offices have no administrative supervision over the individual local government units (LGU’s) in the region. There is no regional government/ governor that would locate a capital effectively defining a seat or center of political power fixed by law. In this light, the description “political center” may still be acceptable, but “capital” would really be inaccurate. Secondly, Legazpi as “academic” center is a hilarious, trying-hard description. (Perhaps because the admittedly more progressive Bicol city, Naga, with 6 universities has already owned to the tag “educational center of Bicol” so our editor had to be creative and mustered “academic”. Funny.) The 3 universities cited are in fact only 2 since Divine Word College is not even a university. Bicol University came into being with 2 of its original colleges located in my own hometown of Daraga. With only 2 universities, how can the city be the regional “academic” center? Finally, declaring the number 80 as the number of schools in the city is really so simple and easy. Perhaps the tag “elementary and secondary school center of Bicol” would be more appropriate in that case if we can prove it. Another erroneous attribution is Legazpi’s being THE top tourist destination in Bicol. Latest official Dept. of Tourism (DOT) statistics show Camarines Sur/ Naga City with Camarines Sur Watersports Complex and various conventions & meets have surpassed Legazpi and/or Albay by a mile in tourist arrivals since last year 2006. Please refer to following site http://www.wowphilippines.com.ph/dot/statistics.asp for this. Our provincial and city leaders better wake up! This is a wake-up call, so may I invite editors to come forward and join hands in giving only correct information on this fair city to give justice to what to me is certainly Bicol’s cleanest, if not most beautiful city.

Metro Daraga, I'm afraid your reading comprehension is very poor, despite your claim of having read it "assiduously." I might give you 2 out of 10 if I'm feeling very generous. 1)The qualifier de facto means "actual" irrespective of whether or not it is legally sanctioned as such. At no point does the article claim that it is the de jure capital, which is how you misread it. 2) The fact that a university has other campuses located in neighb
