Cagayan de Oro's House of the Lord Nears Its Moment

Big news from Northern Mindanao! The **Cagayan de Oro Philippines Temple** — The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' second temple on the island — is inching closer to completion.

Sitting along Rosario Limketkai Avenue in Cagayan de Oro City, Misamis Oriental, the structure has transformed the skyline since its August 2024 groundbreaking.

First announced back in 2018, the project has moved steadily forward. Consequently, what was once an empty lot now stands as a two-story, nearly 18,500-square-foot sacred space.

Meanwhile, crews continue refining the finer details, and aerial shots reveal just how far the hardscaping and landscaping have progressed.

Spanning 4.9 acres, the site blends thoughtful design with functional elegance. Every paver and planted tree, therefore, adds to its quiet beauty.

Local drone photographers have been capturing the transformation, giving Kagay-anons an exciting bird's-eye view of progress.

An open house will follow before dedication, so anticipation is building fast. Ultimately, this temple will serve families across MisOr and beyond.

Stay tuned for updates! CDO #churchofjesuschristoflatterdaysaints #CagayandeOro #NorthernMindanao #NearCompletion #OpenHouseSoon

From Drive-Thru to Desk: How Old Chairs Found New Purpose in Cagayan de Oro

COURTESY: PIA 10

A Simple Handover, A Bigger Story

Fifty chairs might not sound like headline news. But when they arrive at East City Central School in Barangay Lapasan, straight from McDonald's restaurants, the story changes. These aren't ordinary chairs, though — they're survivors, repurposed and ready for a second life in the classroom.

The handover happened during the National Teachers' Month kickoff on Sept. 5, and it wasn't just symbolic. Teachers and learners now have real seats to use, thanks to McDonald's Philippines' ReClassified program.

Recycling With a Lesson Attached

DepEd Secretary Juan Edgardo Angara pointed out something important: the initiative isn't only about furniture. It's about teaching kids that waste doesn't have to be wasted. Recycled materials can become something useful again.

Meanwhile, McDonald's Managing Director Margot Torres said the partnership deepened the company's understanding of what schools truly need.

Small Steps, Big Numbers

So far, nearly 1,000 furniture pieces have reached classrooms nationwide, helping over 5,500 students. That's not a coincidence — it's consistent effort.

By 2027, McDonald's aims to deliver 1,500 ReClassified chairs. One chair at a time, old furniture keeps finding new classrooms to call home.

Charging Ahead: Northern Mindanao's Road to Electric Taxis

COURTESY: LTFRB Region 10 

A New Ride Is Coming

Change is rolling into Cagayan de Oro, and it's electric. On September 3, 2026, LTFRB Region 10 Regional Director Aljo Bendijo sat down with Hail Motors and CAFITADA to talk EV taxis.

Their goal? Bringing cleaner, greener rides to Northern Mindanao without leaving current operators behind.

Re-Fleeting, Not Replacing

Instead of scrapping what's already working, the plan focuses on re-fleeting. Local taxi operators and cooperatives can swap their current units for EVs while still serving their existing routes and passengers.

That means modernization happens gradually, and nobody gets left in the dust.

Powering the Shift

Of course, EVs need somewhere to charge. So, the group also discussed building charging stations and supporting infrastructure across the region.

This isn't just about taxis, either. It opens doors for local investors, new partnerships, and businesses ready to join the growing EV ecosystem.

Driving Toward Bagong Pilipinas

RD Bendijo stressed that any rollout must follow LTFRB policies and regulations. Meanwhile, this initiative supports the Bagong Pilipinas agenda under President Marcos Jr. and DOTr Secretary Giovanni Lopez.

Ultimately, it's a team effort — steering Northern Mindanao toward safer, more sustainable transportation.
