Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines known as the City of Golden Friendship is one of the fastest growing city in terms of business. Infrastructures such as bridges and high rise buildings are sprouting anywhere in the city. That is why now adays, Cagayan de Oro City is one place that many tourists, foreign tourists for that matter would want to visit. But I didnt realize that I am a tourist to my own city. During our City tour which is part of our lined up activity during our reunion, I came to know that truly Cagayan de Oro City is becoming a booming city in the heart of Northern Mindanao. I had just passed the new bridge connecting Ilaya Carmen to the heart of the City. The tour guide pointed to us another on going construction of a bridge connecting Brgy Kauswagan to Brgy Puntod and learned of the latest attraction of Cagayan de Oro City, a Monument - McArthur Marker about 9 meters in diameter and 5 meters in height. It is made of fiberglass and steel. The five stars represent Gen McArthur's rank as a Five Star General. The McArthur Marker is situated in the Old Macabalan wharf and it is facing the sea. The tour was exciting and educational for me. It just amazes me to know of the newest attraction in Cagayan de Oro City.
