Cagayan de Oro City is a fun-filled place. Again, for the nth time, I was there for another seminar conference for teachers as one of the resource speakers. This time, it was held at St. Mary’s Academy in Carmen, Cagayan de Oro City (last January 21). This was my second time to travel in the city (the other was February last year) and yet I still anticipated my stay here. Name whatever you want, and for sure the city have them all - from videoke bars, cozy restaurants, various places to entertain yourself, and yes, even Divisoria.
It seems to me Manila was just around the corner…

For a newcomer like me, Cotabato City is indeed very much different from the cities I visited here in the Philippines. I was there just last weekend (from January 13 to 15) for another seminar conference at the Notre Dame of Cotabato. Airport security was tight, er, very tight. Soldiers are to be found in every corners, all of them seemingly waiting for a clash, encounter, or something to that effect to happen. Their ‘intense grip’ on their respective armalites tells it all. A warzone perhaps? That’s the understatement of the year. Strangely, some civilians likewise possess firearms, discreetly though. Always remember, be alert and be vigilant. Life is too precious…
Another observation. Most business establishments close at around 5 in the afternoon. Not my idea of a ghost town. Is it true that Jollibee here opens at 8 in the morning? And closes at around 7 in the evening? Man, talking about breakfast meals and early dinner. Well, well, no place to go, no place to hide. Might as well stay in our hotel, safe and sound…
