Cagayan de Oro City, the capital of Misamis Oriental, is the gateway to Northern Mindanao. It is one of the places in the Philippines where I want to live. A place where adventure, nature and city living intersect in a rich blend of diverse culture and art.

CDO as what this city is popularly called, is home to half a million inhabitants. This typhoon-free city is the regional and shopping capital of Northern Mindanao, with a very active and vibrant nightlife. The Night Cafe and Market is a must experience, where locals and tourists gather in the streets of Divisoria on weekends to enjoy music, beer, barbecues and great bargains.

The place is also popular to white water rafting enthusiasts, with class III and IV rapids of  Cagayan de Oro River stretching from Barangay Dansolihon to the city proper.

Experience the hospitality of its people, the endless smiles in the City of Golden Friendship, the city in bloom, blossom and boom. Ali na sa Cagayan de Oro. (more…)

Isn’t it great to have an unplanned weekend exploration to some places you haven’t been before? It is like, every place you go is a surprise, you get to know new stuff, discover new places, experience something you haven’t done before and do things as spontaneous as it transpire. And all you have to do is to enjoy every bit of surprises and thank life.

I spent one weekend in Pagsanjan, Laguna to visit a friend. Pagsanjan, as we all know, is the tourist capital of Laguna and is famous for shooting the rapids of the river and crossing the Pagsanjan Falls via bamboo raft. But I didn’t venture into that, and yes I will try it on my next visit.
