UTUAN CITY – Pool of experts from Mindanao Daily News (MDN) have trained last Friday, June 28, 2013, government information officers (IOs) in Caraga Region on news writing, photojournalism and proper conduct of news conference.

In his speech delivered

by PIA-Caraga Regional Operations Chief Nora Molde, Philippine Information Agency (PIA) 13 Director Abner Caga emphasized that as government information officers, there is a need for them to be regularly updated in order to deliver the news and information of their respective agencies to the public in an accurate, relevant and timely manner.

“We should always remember that no matter how good our press release is, in as far as the technicality is concerned, it is still useless if our write-ups will not be published in newspapers; posted in websites, blogs, and other social networking sites.

CEREMONIAL | page 11

SURIGAO CITY — Believing it could deter criminality, the City Development Council (CDC) has urged city hall to allocate funds for the installation of closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras in strategic places of the locality, particularly at the central business district.

The call is stipulated in CDC Resolution 2-2013, approved,

Friday week.

Supt. Joseph Nohara, city police chief, told MindaNews Thursday that the installation of CCTVs will enhance the capacity of the local police in fighting criminality adding that CCTV footages can be used as evidence in pursing lawbreakers in court.

Local peace talks good but…

C

By H. Marcos C. Mordeno of MindaNews

AGAYAN de Oro City––They heard inspiring stories on local peace initiatives, from sitio Lantad in Barangay Kibanban in Balingasag, Misamis Oriental, a former New People’s Army stronghold, to a village in Sultan Naga Dimaporo town in Lanao del Norte that serves as the base of a breakaway rebel group.

But participants to the two-day Northeastern Mindanao Religious Leaders’ Peace Summit which ended Friday expressed reservations on the efficacy of local peace initiatives vis-à-vis the imperiled peace process between the government and the National Democratic Front (NDF).

Outgoing Misamis Oriental Governor Oscar Moreno said the provincial government achieved peace in Lantad by pouring in development projects that the people themselves asked for. He stressed that they did it not as part of counterinsurgency but to show government sincerity.

“Serbisyo lang,” he said, adding that even the military learned from what the local government did in Lantad.

During the 1980s, Lantad became the seat of the revolutionary movement in Northern Mindanao.

The NDF even issued “land titles” to local farmers and formed a shadow government complete with a “mayor.”

Paquito Daao, village chief of Kibanban, said the delivery of social services and development projects has brought back peace to Lantad. He added the present situation is a far cry from the time that the

area became a “no man’s land” owing to the armed conflict between the military and the New People’s Army (NPA), armed wing of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP).

“Lantad is a good story, but how many Oca (Moreno) will emerge? And is Lantad the only area with this kind of problem? What about the other areas?” Bishop Antonio Ablon of the Iglesia Filipina Independiente (IFI)

in Misamis Occidental said.

“Naay padulngan ang ginagmayng paglihok, ang problema inig hawa sa usa ka opisyal (Small initiatives produce results, the problem is when an official leaves),” Ablon said.

He, however, maintained that local initiatives cannot be a substitute for national level ones.

“A good example is President Aquino’s executive order on mining which has

stripped local officials of any role in it,” he said.

Fr. Chris Ablon, of the IFI in Libona, Bukidnon called the development of Lantad a rare case. “Many areas outside Lantad are still suffering.”

He said that for development to be more encompassing there is a need to institute national level initiatives such as pursuing the Comprehensive Agreement on Social and Economic

Reforms, the second item in the four-point Hague Joint Declaration signed by GPH and the NDF in 1973.

Pastor Nasali Silava of the Philippine Council of Evangelical Churches said that what applies to a barangay where problems are more physical may not be applicable in a national setting. “This is an ideological problem…this is about worldviews.”

For his part, Col. Jessie Alvarez, chief of staff of the 4th Infantry Division, said he believes the local government prioritized Lantad because “it is a symbol of resistance, and we don’t have many resources.”

C harlito Man lupi g , president of Balay Mindanaw Foundation Inc., shared their experience as independent secretariat in the peace process between the government and the Rebolusyonaryong Partido ng Manggagawa sa Mindanao (RPMM).

The group broke away from the mainstream communist-led armed movement at the height of the internal debate that wracked the Left in the early 1990s.

Manlupig said it was the first localized peace process that reached an agreement. “However, the new administration (Aquino III) decided to suspend this process saying it wanted to focus on the talks with the MILF (Moro Islamic Liberation Front) and the NDF.” “It (GPH-RPMM peace process) is no longer in the OPAPP (Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process) website,” he added.

Pastor Cobbie Palm, who works in the secretariat of the Philippine Ecumenical Peace Platform (PEPP), said that while localized talks may be enough with groups like the RPMM, it’s a different thing with the NDF. “They have a chain of command. What is resolved locally may not be binding on the top. There is a need not to cut off that bigger picture [in trying to resolve conflicts at the local level],” he cautioned.

Fr. Emman Silvosa of Siargao said local negotiations are not needed if both parties at the national level are sincere.

But he emphasized that the government should not be the first to withdraw from the talks.

UCCP Bishop Modesto Villasanta meanwhile said that church people can contribute to the peace efforts by acting as a third party in securing the release of soldiers who may be held by the NPA as “prisoners of war.”

He said they have done this in Compostela Valley province where the NPA has captured a number of soldiers. “We helped See peace, page 8

The War of our Fathers: an exhibit

By Maelyn Brioso-Roa

In an effort to liven up the youth’s understanding and appreciation of one of the most important events in Philippine history, the Philippine Veterans Bank, headed by its Vice-President for Corporate Communications Mr. Miguel Angelo C. Villa-Real and CDO Branch Manager Mr. Lino U. Gacus, organized an exhibit called “War of our Fathers”, showcasing photographs, artifacts and memorabilia from the World War II at the SM City Cagayan de Oro last Friday, June 28, 2013.

The event focused on the bravery and patriotism of Filipino men and women who boldly fought for our country’s freedom in the era of the second world war. Hence, the exhibit was dedicated to such war heroes, our veterans.

It also aims to educate the youth of this new generation of its lessons and the significance of the freedom we are all enjoying today.

“This exhibit serves as a channel for the youth to understand and catch a glimpse, at least, of what our forefathers went through,” said Mr. Miguel Villa-Real.

“War heroes were ordinary people doing extraordinary deed to answer the call in defense of our motherland.”

makes it to nat’l Japanese volunteers plant trees to CDRRMC finals of Kalasag award support National Greening Program ARITAO, Nueva Vizcaya -- Some 19 employees of Electric Power Development Company Ltd. (EPDC-Ltd.) of Japan conducted a tree planting activity in Barangay Kirang Aritao, Nueva Vizcaya Tuesday in support of the National Greening Program of the Aquino government.

EPDC-Ltd. technician Yoshiaki Muraoka, 26 years old, said the tree planting is part of the watershed area which provides water for irrigation to farmers and households in the communities.

Muraoka said their group planted 3,000 seedlings of fast growing tree species such as gmelina, arborea, mahogany, eucalyptus, narra and other local trees.

The Japanese employees said they joined the activity, seeing the good intent of the company of helping the government re-green the environment.

The greatest job

THINK a minute.

The Greek philosopher Diogenes said that when a son does wrong or behaves badly, it’s the father who should be punished since he’s the one who failed to do his job.

Many men are successful in their public career and job, but failures in their most important job: being a father.

One of the richest men in the world was the German Friedrich Flick. When he died, his personal fortune was $1 ½ billion. That’s 1 thousand, 5 hundred million!

He owned 300 different companies and was respected as one of the smartest businessmen in the world.

He seemed to make all the right moves. Yet with all of his world-class success, wealth, and power, he could not control his own children.

He could put big companies together, but he could not put his own family to-

gether.

So after he died, his children fought for years over his money; and all the experts tried to clean up the big mess of broken pieces Flick left behind because of his failure as a father.

So he actually died a poor man and failure at his most important job.

The famous army General, Douglas MacArthur, is thought by many to be one of the greatest military leaders of all time. He led the Allied armies to victory over the Japanese in World War II. Later he was the leader of the United Nations forces in Korea.

Yet even though he was such a great success as a military leader, MacArthur did not think it was his most important job or success.

In 1942 he said this in a public speech: “By profession, I am a soldier, and take great pride in that. But I am much prouder, to be a father. It is my hope in

life, that when I am gone, my son will remember me not from my victories on the battlefield, but from my leadership and example in the home.”

In World War II, every morning General MacArthur read his Bible and prayed this prayer: “Lord, help me teach my son to be strong enough to know when he is weak.

A son who will be honest and brave when he loses, but humble and kind when he wins.

Help me build a son who is strong in hard times, and has compassion for those who fail.

Help me build a son whose character is right, and whose standard is high.

A son who masters himself, before he tries to master others. Lord, give him humility and true strength, and an open mind to learn wisdom. Then I, his father, will dare to say ‘I have not failed in life.’”

Think A Minute

Jhan Tiafau Hurst So dad, never forget: your child’s life will be determined by how hard you work…at being a father!

And the only One Who can give you the strength, wisdom, and love you need to succeed at your most important job is your own Father in heaven.

So today, won’t you ask God to forgive you, and to take charge of your heart and character?

He will help you to start becoming the strong, loving and successful father your children need.

Just Think a Minute.

Here’s proof of PCOS tampering, padding LIFE’S INSPIRATION: “… `and the truth shall set you free’…” (Jesus Christ, our God and Savior, in John 8:32, the Holy Bible).

-oooPROOF OF PCOS TAMPERING AND MANIPULATION: If the Commission on Elections is looking for proof that the results of the May 2013 elections may have been manipulated through the Precinct Count Optical Scan (PCOS) machines, it should act speedily and with dispatch on the case filed with it by a group of Pasay City residents who showed in their petition that the votes in about 300 precincts in the city were tampered with and clearly padded.

Our readers here will please pardon my referring to this case because I happen to be the lawyer of the Pasay

Kakampi mo ang batas Atty. Batas Mauricio City residents, but then I could not help but bring this out, in reaction to the published refusal of Chairman Sixto Brillantes Jr. and of Malacanang to conduct a manual recount of the votes for the 2013 elections, as requested by various civil society groups, allegedly because there is no proof of any pre-programming or manipulation of the votes.

With due respect to Brillantes and to Malacanang, the manipulation and preprogramming of the poll results are very much evident

from the statement of votes which came out from the very PCOS machines that were used in Pasay City, according to the petition that the city residents filed with the Comelec last Tuesday, June 25, 2013. In fact, in that petition, the residents specifically identified the 300 or so precincts which showed this manipulation and pre-programming.

-oooPASAY CIT Y RESIDENTS RAP PCOS RESULTS: Here are some parts of that petition which also

contained an urgent prayer for a manual count of the votes, at least in Pasay City: “Legally, Petitioners, as residents and registered voters of Pasay City, are entitled to know who among the four mayoralty candidates in their city---Wenceslao Trinidad, Antonio G. Calixto, Jorge del Rosario and Romulo Marcelo---really won as their mayor during the May 13, 2013 elections…

“Based on what they personally witnessed, experienced, came to know of, and discerned on election day, it is clear to the Petitioners herein that while Respondent Antonio G. Calixto got proclaimed as the duly-elected mayor of Pasay City, that proclamation was null and void, as there was a failure of election in the city… proof | page 8

Heal me Jesus Fresh Gospel of the day: Matthew8:1-4(June28, 2013-Friday) Matthew 8:14-When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.

And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And Jesus put forth [his] hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them: In our gospel we can see the main character who is the leper. This sickly person has a “mysterious skin disease”

Biblical reflection Bro. Edcel L. Closas because it is not easy to cure and heal except the “power through miracles.”

In the Old Testament, we can find out that a leper was isolated from the crowd because this is a communicable disease. Communicable disease means can be acquired easily or can be transferred to somebody. In Leviticus 13:45-46-And the leper in whom the plague [is], his clothes shall be rent, and his head bare, and he

shall put a covering upon his upper lip, and shall cry, Unclean, unclean.

All the days wherein the plague [shall be] in him he shall be defiled; he [is] unclean: he shall dwell alone; without the camp [shall] his habitation [be].

We can imagine that it is a “very painful experienced” for a “certain leper to be rejected” and to be “abandoned” by his friends.

Do you experienced that

you are “condemn” and you are treated like an animal?

This was the wrong culture of the Jews which we can conclude that no love at all. But this is change by Jesus in our gospel because “He cured the leper with love” and in fact, He ordered him to come to a “priest for examination” that he is a leper’s free.

This is concrete “evidence: that “Jesus is concerned to sickly” people like me. Heal me Jesus: SPONSORED:Neneth - Bobong Balino- Dr. Edith, PhD- Tony Jordan - CDO. St. Peter Calungsod, pray for us! Listen: Radio Ultra AM-1188-3:00 PM Sunday: #0928414949009266607505: Question – Prayer request

Philippine-Korea pilot project on rural development inaugurated Strengthening the relationship of two countries, the Philippines and Korea held its turn-over ceremony of a corn processing complex (CPC) in Malagana, Claveria, Misamis Oriental, which is expected to serve 1,900 hectares of corn area in the municipality and its neighboring towns.

This joint undertaking between the Government of Korea and the Philippines is a pilot project under the Rural Development Project in the Philippines (RDPIP) through the Department of Agriculture (DA) that seeks to bring about economic growth by establishing agro-based industries which will further enhance the efforts in attaining food security and jobs creation in the countryside to alleviate poverty.

The establishment of the CPC, which amounted to P 63.86M is part of the government’s goal in producing quality corn and minimizing postharvest losses; thereby providing better income for the farmers. Moreso, the CPC also brings the market closer to the farm which will be of great help to the local farmers who have been spending so much on hauling and transportation expenses in taking their corn produce to its buyers.

The CPC can dry as much as 50 to 60 metric tons of

Philippines-Korea turns-over CPC worth P63.86M to the local government unit of Claveria, Misamis Oriental which will benefit local corn farmers in augmenting their income by ensuring quality corn produce.

DA-Assistant Secretary and National Coordinator for Corn Program Edilberto M. De Luna is grateful for the support of the Korean government to the country’s efforts in attaining rural development, especially for the agriculture sector. He also challenged the farmers in making the project successful for its sustainability.

Meanwhile, Roh SangWook, Deputy Director of the Development and Cooperation Division of the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs of the Republic of Korea expressed his gratitude to all the people who were responsible in the fulfillment of the CPC and hoped for a stronger partnership with the government of the Philippines.

Together with the representatives of both the Government of Korea and the Philippine government, corn stakeholders, farmers and local villagers affixed their signatures in committing for the successful operation and management of the CPC. # (VANESSA MAE S. SIANO, DA-RAFID 10)

Talks resumed in 1992 under President Fidel V. Ramos. This time the NDF explicitly stated it would no longer allow local negotiations and scrapped the idea of a ceasefire as a precondition [to the talks].

Explosion destroys façade of house illegally selling fuel in PHL PAGADIAN City––Police said an explosion has destroyed the façade of a house, whose owner is into the retail selling of gasoline, in Malangas town in Zamboanga Sibugay province.

Police said no one was killed or wounded in the explosion. The house owner, Jonathan Aming, 44, told the police that prior to the explosion, two men had inquired if he was selling gasoline.

Aming told the men that there was no gasoline and they had left, but 15 minutes later the explosion occurred outside the house in the village of Candiis.

The victim suspects the men had left the explosive for a still unknown reason. Police are investigating the explosion and have not released any details as to what type of bomb or explosive was used in the blast.

The retail selling of gasoline is illegal in the Philippines, but it was unknown whether the attack was connected to the underground trade. (Mindanao Examiner)

AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18) - Your job is to push the envelope -- and you never seem to get sick of it! Keep on tossing out your odd, brilliant ideas until one of them sticks. It shouldn’t take all day, and then you can get to work!

PISCES (February 19 – March 20) - You feel somewhat trapped. Try not to panic -- you’re in a maze of sorts, but you are nearly at the end of it. When you get there, you may not be prepared for the sudden rush of freedom!

ARIES (March 21 – April 19) - This is not the time to stand by and watch as events unfold -- you’ve got to step forward and take direct action! It’s a really good time to show the world what you’re all about.

TAURUS (April 20 – May 20) - This is not the time to stand by and watch as events unfold -- you’ve got to step forward and take direct action! It’s a really good time to show the world what you’re all about.

GEMINI (May 21 – June 21) - You’ve got to push ahead and really seize the initiative in whatever group you’re part of today. That could mean speaking out of turn or just dominating a conversation, but it should be a win for you.

CANCER (June 22 – July 22) - Something jogs your memory late in the day, and it leads to a cascade of reminiscences that should be overwhelmingly positive. It may also lead to some bold new plan, so make sure that you’re ready for action!

of the same digit.

LEO (July 23 – August 22) - You can have fun doing almost anything today, so get out there and see what happens! Your energy is great, but you may find that you feel better tackling big-picture issues than little details.

VIRGO (August 23 – September 22) - You’ve got to avoid the temptation to share everything with everyone -- that just leads to disaster. Choose what you can live without, then pick the people you think deserve your surplus the most.

LIBRA (September 23 – October 22) - Your energy is almost entirely outward-focused today, so make sure that you’re paying more attention to the people in your life. Many of them need something from you, though it shouldn’t cost too much.

SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21) - Take life one step at a time today -- you need to make sure that you’re not missing anything important! You may have to deal with a person who has gotten riled up over nothing, but you can calm them down.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21) Your soft side is showing today, so make sure that you’re paying attention to your sweetheart -- or trying to woo your latest crush. Your great energy makes you even more attractive than usual.

CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19) - Your parents or grandparents require a bit of attention today -- though they may not need your active assistance. It’s a good time to reconnect with your roots, so it could be win-win.

PIA-13 exhorts info officers to partner with media BUTUAN CITY - Nora Molde, operations chief of PIA-13, delivered the inspirational message of PIA-13 RD Abner Caga in Friday’s PIOs-Mindanao DailyCaraga Collaborative Forum 2013, encouraging all government information officers to create linkage with the local media, as vehicle in “disseminating balanced news” and “developmental views.” Caga congratulates MinDaily-Caraga for coming up with the activity, seen helpful to PIOs in the region.

In this way, the official pointed out the need for the information officers to partner with the local trimedia in their respective areas of responsibilities since they have the capacity to disseminate the articles produced by them (info officers).

“As an information officer, we have to bear in our mind that we must not compete with the media personalities. Instead, we have to partner with them, because it cannot be denied that they have the capacity to disseminate the news and information that we have written in a wider perspective. What is more important, therefore, is that news and information will really reach to our recipients – the general public – whom we are serving for,” Dir. Caga said.

Meanwhile, Nida Grace Tranquilan, PIA-Surigao del Sur Information Center manager, said the training is very appropriate to government information officers since additional inputs were given by the speakers more particularly in the conduct or facilitating news/press conference.

“I am privileged to have attended the training since the speaker has given new inputs that will benefit me

because I am regularly facilitating the conduct of press conferences in my area of responsibility,” she said.

Also, the PIA-Surigao del Sur Information Center Manager stressed that new inputs on photojournalism is very timely as new trends in capturing pictures are already utilized especially that photos are posted in PIA website, blogspot, electronic news magazine, and social networking sites.

“With PIA utilizing the web-based electronic communication channels, the new knowledge I learned is needed so that we can deliver quality photo releases and be posted in our website, blogspot, electronic news magazine, and social networking sites,” she said.

Through the invitation of Philippine Information Agency (PIA) Caraga, more than 40 information officers from different regional offices in the region were updated on news writing, photojournalism and the conduct of news conference, otherwise known as press conference. (RER, PIA-Caraga)

city police office resorts to the deployment of police personnel in strategic areas.

However, its sustainability remains a challenge due to the perennial lack of manpower of the city police force,” he said.

He said that he spoke with Mayor Ernesto Matugas, who assured him that the city government would allocate funds for project implementation this year.

In pushing for the CCTV project, the police official noted that some businesses in the city were hit by robberies, while some were burglarized.

Among the robbery victims were LBC, a courier company, and Parinas Jewelry Store. The jewelry store lost P5 million to the robbers, who also killed one of its workers.

Willie Gan, president of the Surigao Chamber of Commerce and Industry, welcomed the plan to set up CCTVs in the business district.

While majority of the chamber’s members have their own CCTVs, Gan said that the CCTVs from the city government will help the police monitor possible crimes in the streets. (Roel Catoto/MindaNews/jdelpf)

Moreno Inaugural binds historical links between Kagay-an and Misamis

Moreno

By Mike Banos

With his inauguration as the 14th Mayor of Cagayan de Oro City, Oscar Seriña Moreno becomes the fifth governor of Misamis Oriental to become city mayor of what used to be its capital town.

Moreno was first served as representative of the 1st District of Misamis Oriental from 1998-2004 in the 11th and 12th Congress. He next served as Governor of Misamis Oriental for three terms (2004-2013) before his recent victory as city mayor of Cagayan de Oro. Previous to this, he had 20 years in the corporate legal profession.

However, even before Cagayan de Oro became a chartered city on June 15, 1950, former governors of the province already became municipal presidents of its capital town then known as Cagayan de Misamis and vice versa.

Apolinar Velez y Ramos (1865-1939) was Governor of Misamis province from 1906-1909 and became municipal president of Cagayan de Misamis in 1928-1931. He led the Mindanao Battalion to the Filipinos only victory over the Americans in the Battle of Makahambus during the Philippine-American War. Segundo Gaston first became municipal president of Cagayan de Misamis in 1916-1919 before becoming governor of Misamis Oriental on 1923-1925. Gaston Park in Cagayan de Oro City is named in his honor.

After Cagayan de Oro became a chartered city in June 15, 11950, Pedro Sa. Baculio, who was governor of Misamis Oriental during the Japanese Occupation on 1941-1945, became the first provincial governor to become mayor of the new city from March-December 1952. Previous to this, he also represented Misamis Oriental in the first congress from 1946-1949 Pedro N. Roa Sr., who served as Misamis Oriental governor in 1968-1969 followed in his footsteps, becoming Cagayan de Oro City Mayor in 1978-1980.

Although Concordio C. Diel preceded Roa as Cagayan de Oro City Mayor in 1976-1979, he followed the latter

as provincial governor in 1969-1974 in what became the first instance of musical chairs between the two LGUs. Outgoing Cagayan de Oro City Mayor Vicente Y. Emano became the fourth governor in the Misamis Oriental era to become mayor of the city, first being appointed provincial caretaker in March 1986-Dec. 1987 following the EDSA revolution, before serving for three consecutive terms from 1988-1998. After being elected for another three consecutive terms as mayor of the city in 1998-2007, he came back to win another term in 2010-2013 after being elected vice mayor in 2007.

However, the tradition of provincial governors serving as mayor and vice versa is not only the historical link that connects Misamis Oriental and Cagayan de Oro. Perhaps today is an opportune time to recall, give thanks and celebrate those ties that bind these two places as the “heart and soul” of Northern Mindanao, as Cagayan de Oro celebrates today the inauguration of former Misamis Oriental Governor Oscar Moreno as its 14th City Mayor: In 1818, the Spanish Government divided Mindanao into three politico-military districts, the largest of which was the Segundo Distrito de Misamis. This area was composed of today’s Misamis Oriental, Misamis Occidental, Camiguin, Bukidnon, Lanao, Zamboanga del Norte, and the northern part of Cotabato and Maguindanao.

It was named Misamis after its capital town at the mouth of Panguil Bay (present day Ozamiz city). Here, the Spanish Jesuit Jose Ducos built the Fuerza Real de la Virgen del Triunfo (better known nowadays as the Cotta) as a fortress against Moro raiders who had to pass through the narrow bay in their raids against Spanish and Filipino towns along the coast.

The Misamis district was further subdivided into four: the Partido de Misamis, Partido de Dapitan, Partido de Cagayan, and Partido de Catarman.

On February 27, 1872, the Spanish Governor General Carlos Maria de la Torre issued a decree declaring Cagayan the permanent capital of the Segundo Distrito de Misamis.

All Spanish politico-military governors of Misamis, who were all lieutenant colonels, lived at the Casa Real de Cagayan, built in 1831, the site of today’s Executive House of Cagayan de Oro. During this era, the town was called Cagayan de Misamis.

Misamis was the only region in Mindanao which actively joined the Katipunan revolt against Spain. On September 27, 1896, 350 revolucionarios, overwhelmed the Spanish garrison in Calaganan (present-day Balo-i, Lanao del Norte) raided the armory of the Fuerza Nueva Victoria in Iligan. Cagayan de Misamis (as Cagayan de Oro was then known) played a key role in suppressing this so-called ‘Mutiny at Calaganan’ when the Spanish

soldiers based here repulsed the rebels in Sta. Ana, Tagoloan with the help of Kagay-anon Voluntarios led

by Apolinar Velez. The revolucionarios proceeded to Sumilao where they were joined by 50 Higa-onons and marched down the coast where they commandeered a boat and landed in Balingasag. From there the group stormed the Tercio Civil outpost in Gingoog where the uprising was finally put down in January 1897 with the help of reinforcements and the gunboat Mariveles from the Tercio Distrito de Surigao.

Misamis was the first region in Mindanao to join the new Philippine Republic under Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo.

On December 10, 1898, the United States and Spain signed the Treaty of Peace. Immediately, the Spanish governor relinquished his authority to two Filipinos elected by Aguinaldo: Jose Roa y Casas, who was appointed first governor of Misamis; and Toribio Chavez, appointed first Filipino mayor of Cagayan de Misamis.

On January 10-11, 1899, Cagayan de Misamis celebrated independence by organizing the so-called Fiesta Nacional. The people held a parade, played music, presented speeches and fired cannons outside the Casa Real. The first set of local officials was elected and the Filipino flag officially rose for only the second time ever in the island (the first was in Surigao).

During World War II, Misamis became a part of world history when Gen. Douglas MacArthur, supreme commander of the United States Armed Forces in the Far East (USAFFE) successfully evading the Japanese Navy blockade from Corregidor in a flotilla of PT Boats and landed in Macabalan port in Cagayan de Misamis on March 13, 1942. He laid over at the Del Monte compound in Bukidnon until March 17, 1942 when he, his family and some of his staff were airlifted to Australia in two B-17s. A week later, Phil. Commonwealth President Manuel L. Quezon and Vice President Sergio Osmeña, Sr. also used the same route to escape from Corregidor to Australia.

The United States Forces in the Philippines (USFIP) under Col. Wendell W. Fertig based in Oroquieta, Misamis Occidental, was the rallying point for the guerrillas in Mindanao. This was historically significant because Oroquieta was considered to be the capital of the entire Free Philippines, the only time in Philippine history when its capital was in Mindanao, in the region then known as Misamis.

Misamis is also significant in Philippine pre-history through the discovery of the Huluga caves in Cagayan de Oro city in the early 1970s. A fragment of a skull sent to the Scripps Institute in La Jolla, California for a dating technique known as acid racemization showed it dated back to the Late Neolithic Period or 377 A.D., making it the oldest archeological site in Mindanao.

Starting 1946, Misamis Congressman Pedro S. Baculio lobbied in the Philippine Congress so that Cagayan de Misamis would be declared a city. On December 17, 1949, the new Congressman Emmanuel “Maning” Pelaez of Medina, Misamis Oriental introduced House Bill No. 54, entitled An Act Creating the City of Cagayan de Oro. President Elpidio Quirino signed the city charter at 11:30 am, June 15, 1950. (based on Antonio J. Monvalvan II’s paper Resurgence of Identity: The Heritage of Misamis, 1818-1945. Montalvan is a Mindanao anthropologist and ethnohistorian. He is a Ford Foundation scholar and has a doctorate in anthropology on Mindanao Studies with the Mindanao Anthropology Consortium. He has written articles about Mindanao history and culture in academic journals, and contributes a monthly column to the Philippine Daily Inquirer.
