A Vibrant Day in Puerto

The morning sun cast a golden glow over Barangay Puerto as the community buzzed with anticipation. It was no ordinary day. *KSB goes to Puerto*, a meaningful outreach led by Cagayan de Oro City Mayor Rolando ‘Klarex’ Uy, had arrived to make a difference. Through the beloved **‘Klarex nga Serbisyo sa Baryo’ (KSB)** program, City Hall’s departments converged in the barangay, offering essential services with warm smiles and open hands.  
The air was infused with a sense of unity. Residents came not just to avail themselves of free government services, but to personally connect with the people working behind the scenes for the city’s progress. The **Klarex administration**’s commitment was clear: government is not a distant institution—it’s here, in the streets and barangays, standing alongside the people it serves.  


Services That Touch Lives

From medical check-ups to legal consultations, the offerings reflected the city’s dedication to improving everyday lives. The initiative aims to provide free government services and strengthen the city’s commitment to bringing the government closer to the people. Transitioning between different service booths, residents discovered how accessibility transforms necessity into empowerment.  

Moreover, the program reinforced trust. By showing up consistently each week, the **KSB program** nurtures a relationship between the government and the community that goes beyond policy—it builds connection and mutual respect. For Barangay Puerto, that Saturday morning became more than a calendar event; it turned into a story of service, compassion, and hope.  

The KSB initiative is proof that when leaders step into the neighborhoods, they bridge gaps that statistics and speeches can’t. Puerto experienced not just service delivery, but a heartfelt reminder: the city belongs to its people, and together, they can flourish.

The Future of Urban Mobility: CDO Coastal Road Extension - Phase 2



As urban centers expand, the need for efficient transportation networks becomes increasingly apparent. One such transformative project is the **CDO Coastal Road Extension - Phase 2**, scheduled for completion by **2025**. This ambitious initiative aims to significantly enhance connectivity between Barangay Puerto to Opol, Misamis Oriental, and Barangay Gusa in Cagayan de Oro City. Spanning approximately 9.3 kilometers, Phase 2 will seamlessly connect to Phase 1, which runs from Gusa to Igpit, thereby creating a comprehensive coastal route.

Upon its completion, this four-lane bypass will not only feature sidewalks and bike lanes but will also include essential street lighting, landscaping, and several pivotal bridges and viaducts along Macajalar Bay. The project's design prioritizes safety and accessibility, ensuring that pedestrians and cyclists can traverse the area with ease. Furthermore, the reduction in travel time from **1.5 hours to just about 25 minutes** will revolutionize daily commutes, thereby fostering economic growth and improving the quality of life for residents.

Unveiling the Architectural Marvels

Among the noteworthy features of this project are the **Iconic Coastal Bridge-1** and **Coastal Bridge-4**, designed to be more than mere structures; they will serve as landmarks that enhance the overall aesthetic of the region. The proposed viaducts will not only facilitate smoother traffic flow but will also provide breathtaking views of the coastal landscape, merging function with beauty. 

Moreover, this development reflects a broader commitment to sustainable urban planning. By incorporating elements such as bike lanes, the CDO Coastal Road Extension encourages eco-friendly transportation alternatives. As a result, the project aligns with global trends towards greener urban environments. In conclusion, the CDO Coastal Road Extension - Phase 2 stands as a testament to innovative infrastructure development, promising to reshape the urban landscape of Cagayan de Oro City and its surroundings for years to come.
