    Thanks for doing this blog-development news updates- I enjoyed it very much.

    I feel sad to see that some of our newer building (city owned) like the new Cogon and Carmen Markets have no appeal—architecture-wise. City leaders could have pushed for nicer building designs (which could impress other people from other cities and places)—those buildings are just too functional of a design–nothing to be proud of. I will not be surprised if the design for the new Agora Market (sounds too stupid–redundant names; Agora means market) is the same as that of Cogon and Carmen’s. Too bad for Cagayan de Oro.

      Try to look at the new face of the former agora market today. Perhaps you will admire its design. Its no longer agora market but MARKET CITY

      I don’t know any Bisaya, but I understand Agora means, more like, square, hub, or central location.

    Thanks. This is the type of blog that Kagay-anons living abroad or outside of Cagayan de Oro and Misamis Oriental would like to see. The tourism guide is terrific and its so good to be updated with all the developments going on. Surely you are making the city and region great attractive for investments.

    Hi,

    Are there any plans to contruct a replica of the Cagayan de Oro Fort ? There is no big old historical landmark in cagayan de oro. This would be a good tourist attraction if they build a replica of the Cagayan de oro Fort ! Thanks

      @tony, that’s a very good suggestion… why don’t you write the Local City Tourism or the Heritage Council…

    I disagree about the market name as being a problem. The repeat names seem to be a culture thing. My son Aian nickname is Yan Yan and my daughters name is Riza but her nickname was tel tel. She was only 1 kilo when she was born so maybe it means very small. I also have cousins called jing jing and sha sha. Nobody seems to find the repeat names offensive.

    Hello,

    My name is Carmen Planells and I was born in Cagayan De Oro and now I live in the US. I am so proud and excited to see positive news about my home. It is amazing how much it has grown and hope to come back and see it for myself very soon.

    I also wanted to share some news about my son who is a proud Filipino who has made a name for himself working in sports/basketball in films, TV and commercials. He has worked on movies such as Coach Carter, The Longest Yard, Spider-Man 3 and others.

    He also works as a NBA scout and has coached professional basketball in Japan.

    He is currently working to organize a basketball clinic in the Philippines and he would like to do one in Cagayan De Oro.

    You can go on this link – http://hernandoplanells.com/images/file/HP_carymagazinearticle_March2010.pdf

    My son is eager to help his fellow Filipinos strive for greatness in their lives. Feel free to contact him at hernando@hernandoplanells.com

    Thank you

    Great site! Very informative, I hope with all the malls and businesses constructed inside or outside the city the road traffic should be a priority too i.e. road widening, putting extra bridge, review road traffic system, etc…Even now especially in Puerto, bulua, carmen, marcos bribge, velez st.. traffic sucks.. There are lots of traffic officers/aides but are still useless coz of the bottle necking… I just hope the local will make a move on this!!! thanks. “A good city must have a good traffic system.”

    Good day Coca-Cola Bottlers Philippines, Inc. (CCBPI),

    To the ADMIN/HR:

    Sir/Madam, isa ako sa nag.apply last job fair na ginawa ninyo. Actually hindi ako student ng Mindanao Univesity of Science and Technology (MUST), pero nag lakas loob po akong mag-apply I thought na kahit hindi student ng MUST pwedeng mag-apply. Let me ask you a question, yung job fair na ginawa nyo last August ay para lang ba sa mga MUST students? Panu na kami na taga-ibang schools? Ibig bang sabihin may favoritism kayo sa company nyo? Sir pinaasa nyo lang kami, ba’t tinanggap nyo pa ang application letter namin, kung wala namang mangyayaring maganda. Subukan nyo naman kami, huwag kayong close minded, bigyan nyo naman kami ng pagkakataon at saka taga-cagayan de oro rin kami. To the Management of Coca-Cola Bottlers Philippine, Inc., sana bigyan nyo ng pansin ito. Thank you! …T_T

    congratulations! am so glad and proud to see this site! Mindanao – the land of promise – looks like cdo is doing its share! – my only question is how much of the locals (mga natives of cdo) are investing their money on these projects. are they able to become joint venture partners for most if not all of the new investments? alam ko maraming rich kagay-anons. hoping they are investing locally that generates jobs and opportunities! keep up the good work!

        hi warren, there was a surge of web traffic during the Sendong event that causes our server to it’s knees forcing the web hosting company to take action :( , in short we cannot handle the load, we learned from experience and now everything seems ok and we are ready for such traffic spike in the future..
