The City of Cagayan de Oro (Cebuano: Dakbayan sa Cagayan de Oro; Filipino (Tagalog): Lungsod ng Cagayan de Oro) is the provincial capital of Misamis Oriental. The city lies along the northern coastline on the Mindanao island, south of the Philippines.
The city serves as the regional center of Northern Mindanao (Region X). According to the 2007 Census, the city has an estimated population of about 553,996 people.
Cagayan de Oro is known by several nicknames such as "Gateway to Northern Mindanao", "Rafting Capital of the Philippines" and others. Officially, Cagayan de Oro is known as the "City of Golden Friendship" (Dakbayan sa Bulawanong Panaghigalaay). The official city seal bears this phrase.
There are other places in the Philippines with a Cagayan name. One must distinguish Cagayan de Oro from Cagayan Province in Northern Luzon and the Cagayan Islands in the Sulu Sea.
I have listened to this station, and I really like it because the music are very nice and so mellow. Yeah, I totally agree that Cagayan is the Rafting Capital of the Philippines. Come and visit Cagayan de Oro City.
