With the total land area of 3,081.1 km², Misamis Oriental is the gateway of Mindanao which composed of 23 municipalities and 2 component cities which are situated along the coastline. Because of the location, the province is blessed with nice beaches, springs, waterfalls, rivers and forests one of the best tourist destinations in the region.
With the provincial tourism officers and other media people, I was lucky to experienced the 1st ‘Pasiyo sa Misamis Oriental’, a 3-day tour around the province to experience and introduce to the blooming tourist spots of the Municipalities of the province.

Philippine Olympic Festival just opened this afternoon and it was a great job done by the government of Misamis Oriental. The Capitol University lead the program as the Pelaez Sport Center was filled with colors because all the Field demonstrations and performances was represented by the Capitol University students, Folkloric Dance Company and Capitol University Glee Club Members.

Some Misamis Oriental and Cagayan de Oro City government officials were there to witness and support the national sporting event and our very own Misamis Oriental Governor Oscar S. Moreno ran around the oval and lit the Pelaez Sport Center Torch for the Philippine Olympic Festival – National Championship opening. The opening ended by lighting the sky with fireworks.

It was indeed a fun and successful opening of the event and the Pelaez Sport Center is beautiful than ever. Athlete’s from all over the coutry will surely be comfortable playing the new sports facilities. I can only say it’s a job well done by the Misamis Oriental government even the event just started today.

A barge capsized off the waters of Laguindingan in Misamis Oriental while being towed by a tugboat from Tubay, Agusan del Norte enroute to Iligan City due to “rough seas.” A report received by Philippine Coast Guard commandant Vice Admiral; Eduardo D. Tamayo from the Coast Guard Northern Mindanao district identified the barge as “Paz I.” The report also said that no one was hurt in the incident that occurred on Sunday morning. It was gathered that the workers and crew of the ill-fated barge were immediately rescued by the crew of the towing tugboat and Coast Guard personnel aboard the search and rescue ship SARV-3503 that rushed to the site from Cagayan the Oro City. Meanwhile, Tamayo said that he has already directed the owners of “Paz I” and the tugboat “Mae Martina” to immediately file marine protests. On the other hand, it was not known if the barge was loaded with cargo when it capsized. (Yul Malicse)
