Cagayan
de Oro and surrounding Northern Mindanao area is one of the
most picturesque in the Philippines
We have beautiful mountains ranges – miles and miles
of wonderful beaches – farms lands - and all points
between.
Our
City lies on both sides of the Oro River. Eighty barangays
(townships) surround the city. The total Trading Area has
an estimated population of some 600,000 people.
Cagayan
de Oro is the country’s 4th largest metropolitan area
with all of the benefits of a major city - without
the hassles of a Manila or Cebu: lots of congestion –
high pollution and crime levels – higher prices. CDO
(“The City of Golden Friendship”) is
a lovely – peaceful – diverse place to live. Enjoy
private gated subdivision living - or vibrant downtown city
living - or live in the countryside.
We have
8 hospitals
– thousands of medical practitioners – medical
training facilities. We have 6 Major Shopping
Centers featuring designer styles as well
as local fashions. Our Ports
take people and cargo throughout the country. You’re
only an affordable hour’s flight
from either Manila or Cebu.
Dining
Out places are everywhere in the thousands
– from tiny street vendor barbeques to carinderias (small
shops with home cooked local foods) to lovely restaurants
with specialized cuisine like Italian, Thai, Chinese –
some even have poolside dining.
