Each table becomes a stage where friends and families gather around the hotpot, sharing stories as much as they share platters of ingredients. In this way, the experience feels both intimate and festive.  

From Downtown to Limketkai: A Delicious Expansion  

Before this new opening, Panda Shabu Shabu had already captured many hearts in the city. Panda Shabu Shabu, part of the Vikings Philippines Group, has officially opened at Limketkai Lolika FoodHall, marking a significant milestone for the brand. This marks the brand’s second branch in Cagayan de Oro, following its first outlet at SM CDO Downtown Foodhall, proving that the love for shabu-shabu is only growing stronger.  

As the brand expands, it also deepens its connection with local diners. The first branch at SM CDO Downtown Foodhall introduced many Kagay-anons to a modern, interactive hotpot experience. Now, with Panda Shabu Shabu Now Open at Limketkai Lolika FoodHall, more people can enjoy that same level of quality and excitement in another bustling part of the city.

At Panda Shabu Shabu, every visit becomes a personal culinary adventure. You choose your broth, select your ingredients, and control the cooking—resulting in a meal tailored to your taste. Additionally, the staff guide newcomers with friendly suggestions, ensuring even first-time diners feel confident and curious rather than overwhelmed.

With each bite, you taste not just flavor, but the joy of creating it yourself.

Paddles & Paradise: Cagayan de Oro’s Bold Leap Into River Tourism


COURTESY: PNA

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – Known as the *City of Golden Friendship*, this bustling urban hub in Northern Mindanao is about to make waves—quite literally. The local government is setting its sights on transforming the city’s rivers into exciting water sports destinations that will attract adventure seekers and nature lovers alike.  

The Bungcalalan River: A Kayaker’s Dream

Hidden away in **Barangay Baikingon**, the serene Bungcalalan River meanders through lush landscapes, offering a five-kilometer stretch of clear waters. Barangay Baikingon chair **Ronello Gumapac** passionately envisions this as the next hotspot for kayaking activities. According to Gumapac, the river’s manageable current makes it perfect for both seasoned paddlers and beginners seeking a safe yet thrilling outdoor experience.  

Furthermore, this proposal has already paddled its way to the **City Council's Tourism Committee**, which plans an *exploratory visit* on December 16. If approved, residents and visitors may soon find themselves gliding along the emerald waters, surrounded by chirping birds and the soothing hum of nature. The idea doesn’t only promise adventure but also fosters sustainable tourism, creating opportunities for local businesses to thrive.  

Beyond the River: Gardens of Malasag Eco Village

As if kayaking weren’t enough of an attraction, the local government is also exploring a takeover of the **Gardens of Malasag Eco Village** in Cugman. Known for its scenic trails, cultural exhibits, and panoramic views, this eco-village stands as a peaceful escape from the city’s vibrant energy.  

On December 10, officials will conduct an ocular inspection, potentially marking the start of a revitalized tourism site that combines nature with heritage. By pairing this eco-village with the new water sports destinations, **Cagayan de Oro City** could create a diverse tourism portfolio—one that seamlessly blends adrenaline-filled activities with tranquil cultural experiences.  


Transitioning from being just an economic center to a haven for outdoor adventure, Cagayan de Oro City is paddling toward a brighter, more dynamic tourism future. With visions like those of Ronello Gumapac and strategic support from local authorities, it’s only a matter of time before kayaks and eco tours become signature symbols of the city’s charm.

Soaring Horizons: The Bright Future of Cagayan de Oro Tourism

 

COURTESY: ARCROMOLONATI

A New Era Begins  

With the Department of Tourism announcing new direct flights from Riyadh to Cagayan de Oro, an exhilarating transformation is set to unfold. These new routes bring hope and promise to a region that thrives on diversity and culture. As someone who has observed CDO’s growth firsthand, I can’t help but feel a wave of optimism washing over the city. This twist of fate opens doors, not only for tourists but also for businesses eager to capitalize on the influx of visitors.  

Moreover, increased accessibility contributes to more than just tourism; it fosters a thriving local economy. As tourists flood in, they will discover the vibrant markets, stunning landscapes, and rich traditions that Cagayan de Oro has to offer. In this bustling hub, local entrepreneurs can showcase their talents and products, sparking a genuine interest in the culture and heritage of the region. With each flight arriving from Riyadh, the city welcomes opportunities for collaboration, investment, and growth that will undoubtedly resonate for years to come.  

Bridging Hearts and Homes  

Additionally, these direct flights represent much more than economic benefits. For many Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW), the journey home becomes more straightforward and accessible. Flying directly from Riyadh to Cagayan de Oro means families are reunited more quickly. The emotional connection deepens as loved ones no longer must endure long and complicated travel routes. The joy of homecoming becomes even sweeter when flights reduce time and stress.  

Furthermore, the ripple effects of these direct flights extend into sustainable development efforts in the region. As tourism rises, it encourages conservation and promotes local businesses focused on sustainability. Communities will band together, preserving their unique identities while embracing modernity. As Cagayan de Oro evolves, it holds the potential to become a model of how culture and economy can intertwine harmoniously.  

In summary, the announcement of new direct flights from Riyadh to Cagayan de Oro symbolizes hope, excitement, and a boundless future for the region. With increased accessibility comes a greater exchange of culture and ideas, ultimately yielding a more vibrant local economy. Here's to the journeys that await!

A Grand Vision Unfolds

Under the bright skies of Cagayan de Oro City, a landmark moment took place — the **𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗡𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗥 𝗢𝗙 𝗣𝟱𝟬 𝗠𝗜𝗟𝗟𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗔𝗠𝗣𝗜𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗥 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗥𝗜𝗩𝗘𝗥 𝗩𝗜𝗘𝗪 𝗗𝗘𝗖𝗞 𝗜𝗡 𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗭𝗔 𝗗𝗜𝗩𝗜𝗦𝗢𝗥𝗜𝗔**. Spearheaded by Cong. Rufus Rodriguez, the ribbon-cutting was more than ceremonial — it marked the birth of a cultural and environmental jewel at the heart of Barangay 6.  
The P50-million project features a magnificent Open Theatre, a scenic River View Deck, a spacious car park, and rentable commercial spaces designed for local entrepreneurs to showcase their products. Transitioning from vision to reality, this venue promises to be a melting pot where artistry meets sustainability, drawing both Kagay-anons and tourists into memorable experiences.  


A Breath of Fresh Air for the City

This development is not just about aesthetics; it’s a vibrant chapter in **Project Lunhaw**, the City Government’s initiative to enhance Cagayan de Oro’s climate resilience. By transforming Plaza Divisoria into a walkable, bikable, and verdant urban haven, the city is taking proactive steps towards eco-friendly modernization. The open spaces invite the community to gather, celebrate, and reconnect — with culture, with nature, and with each other. 
Present during the turnover were Barangay 6 Kap. Ian Glenn L. Chui, Project Lunhaw Head Patrick Gabutina, and DPWH 2nd District Engineering Office (DEO) leaders, including District Engineer Jan Paulo Lisondra. Their collaboration showcases how visionaries and engineers can unite to shape a city that’s ready for the future yet rooted in its heritage.  


**In essence**, the Open Theater and River Viewing Deck stand as more than infrastructure — they are symbols of hope, creativity, and environmental stewardship. With each performance held and every visitor welcomed, Cagayan de Oro steps closer to becoming a city where progress and paradise meet.
