Doing my morning walk at the City of Golden Friendship

CM Recto avenue Cagayan de Oro City. Westbound road already open (January 2016). As of today, the Eastbound road is currently under construction. Hopefully it would solve the flood problems in area.

I normally don’t eat at Chowking, but since I wanted to take a picture of the newly opened road at CM Recto Avenue (Bitan-ag bridge), I was forced to LOL, then I realized that it was not bad after all.

This road in picture is near the creek in CM Recto. This is a flood prone area, hope the renovation would prevent it.

Gaisano City and Mall. Before Limketkai Mall, SM and Ayala malls, Gaisano was the popular Mall in the City during the 90s. Its competitor was Ororama Mega Center (Puregold Cagayan de Oro location now)

St. Augustine Cathedral. Built in 1624 by Fray Agustine San Pedro. It was destroyed in 1778 due to fire. A new church was built by Fray Pedro de Santa Barbara with the help of the Kagay-anons and was inaugurated in 1780. In 1831, it was said that the Church was gutted and in 1841, it was built with concrete materials. The wooden cross in front of the main door was erected in 1888.
