Big news, Cagayan de Oro! EastWest Bank just opened its newly relocated Cagayan de Oro–Limketkai branch at Limketkai Center, and the excitement is real.

Dok Paolo Gaane joined the opening, and he helped celebrate another milestone for the city's growing financial community.



This move brings accessible banking services closer to the people. Customers can now walk in, finish their transactions, and enjoy the mall's other conveniences afterward.

Moreover, the central location saves precious time. As a result, busy residents can bank without making long detours.



EastWest Bank also aims to support the growth of local businesses. Entrepreneurs can now find financial services right in the heart of the city.

Meanwhile, stronger banking access helps small shops expand and dream bigger. Consequently, the whole community benefits.



Congratulations to the entire EastWest Bank team on this exciting new chapter! You worked hard, so enjoy this moment.

Ready to see it yourself? Head over to Limketkai Drive, Cagayan de Oro City, and say hello to the new branch.


Red Tape, Meet Your Match: PWD Leaders Roll Up Their Sleeves



COURTESY: PIA 10

Persons with disabilities (PWDs) in Cagayan de Oro City are joining the fight against red tape. Their leaders signed up for the Anti-Red Tape and Abuse Auxiliary (ARTA-X) on Sept. 18.

The signing took place during a CAFEDPA meeting. As volunteers, they now assist the Anti-Red Tape Authority (ARTA).



First, the leaders studied Republic Act No. 11032, the Ease of Doing Business and Efficient Government Service Delivery Act of 2018.

Then they trained to spot violations. These include extra fees, requirements missing from the Citizen's Charter, noontime breaks, and unexplained delays.



PDAO Head Maria Liza Corpuz backs ARTA's information campaigns. She wants PWDs and other sectors to know their rights.

Meanwhile, ARTA Deputy Director General Juabily Racho invites everyone to help. Racho urges citizens to serve their communities and push for better public service.



Ultimately, PWD leaders now act as community partners. They promote awareness of service standards and flag practices that delay citizens.

So, next time you meet a mystery fee, speak up. Together, we can build efficient government services.

Bucket List Alert: Laguindingan Is About to Get Its Finger-Lickin' Moment!


  

Big news, Laguindingan! KFC Laguindingan is confirmed, and the proof is hanging right there in Poblacion, beside Shell. A shiny new KFC tarpaulin now stands at the site, and locals can't stop talking about it.

Ming Alacab shared a photo of the tarp, which quickly spread the excitement. Honestly, who doesn't get hungry just seeing that red-and-white logo?


So, what does this signal? Essentially, the fast-food chain is on its way to Misamis Oriental's quiet municipality. Construction is expected to begin soon, which means the countdown has officially started.

Meanwhile, the town can already picture the future: crispy chicken, golden fries, and family dinners just minutes from home.



Of course, some questions remain. For instance, nobody knows yet how many floors the building will have. Likewise, a possible drive-thru has not been confirmed.

Still, plenty of people are hoping for one. After all, a drive-thru would make bucket runs even easier for travelers passing through.


Once it opens, this branch will become the first KFC in Laguindingan. Moreover, it will be the first KFC outside Cagayan de Oro in the area. That's a big milestone for the community.

Therefore, keep your eyes on that tarp, Laguindingan. Your gravy-drenched dreams are getting closer every day!
