ABSTRACT
Assessing the infrastructure competitiveness performance of cities is one way of evaluating the status of a certain city. The study aims to assess the changes of the competitive index of cities in Region 10 from 2019-2023 and to predict the infrastructure performance of Region 10 using the other three pillars of competitiveness index. Due to time indexed factor of the data, this paper employed two-way repeated measure ANOVA and panel regression specifically the correlated panel-corrected standard error (PCSE) to investigate the change of infrastructure performance over 5-time period and predict the infrastructure performance of the Northern Mindanao based on the other pillars of competi- tiveness, respectively. The study revealed that a significant change in infrastructure performance of cities in northern Mindanao is observed over the 5-year time period. Moreover, it was found out that the infrastructure performance of northern Mindanao significantly varies among its 9 cities. Further investigation showed that the infrastructure competitiveness performance of the cities in northern Mindanao is significant- ly predicted by its competitiveness performance in terms of economic dynamism, government efficiency and resiliency
