Hi. This is your blogger: Karizze. I made this just this morning. I thought of posting this up to help you people out there who might need this one. Cagayan de Oro City. Formerly known as the Kalambagohan and was then changed into Cagayan de Misamis was first inhabited by native people known to have lived through fishing along what is now called the Cagayan River. This place officially became a city on June 15, 1950and its name was changed to Cagayan de Oro through the efforts of Congressman Emmanuel Pelaez. He added "de Oro" to "Cagayan" in acknowledgment of the gold mining activities in the area known to Spanish explorers.
For just 2 hours of travel via airplane from Manila and 2 days sail via ship, this gateway to Northern Mindanao feasts your eyes with such remarkable sights, eye-catching views and lush green environment. Of course, not to mention the accommodating people meeting you at the airport upon arrival. This city lies at the central coast of this region and to the southern part, the city is bounded by the province of Bukidnon and Lanao Del Norte (also called Iligan City). The Municipality of Opol, Misamis Oriental limits the city on the west and Tagoloan, Misamis Oriental to the east. There lays to the north the Macalajar Bay facing the Bohol Sea. Its total land area is 488.86 km² on behalf of 13.9% of the entire province and its coastline runs for 25 kilometers.
Having an average temperature of 28 °C (82 °F), this tropical city is rarely visited by typhoons since it is outside the Pacific Typhoon belt. And in relation to that, a bigger part of the surface of Cagayan de Oro is classified as agricultural land which makes it possible to grow crops and manufacture agricultural businesses.
Next to Davao, Cagayan de Oro is the 2nd biggest in economy making its base in industrial, trade, service and tourism. Among these are the famous companies such as Nestle Philippines, Coca-Cola, and Del Monte Philippines.
