A Celebration of Triumph and Unity

The air in Misamis Oriental was filled with excitement and pride during a remarkable event that took place on *Martes, Nobyembre 11, 2025*. **GITUNOL ni Gov. Juliette Uy ang PHP 248,000 cash incentives ug plaques of recognition ngadto sa 19 ka players ug 6 ka coaches**—a grand gesture honoring athletes who brought glory to the province. This heartfelt ceremony happened after they returned home with 23 shining medals from the *Batang Pinoy National Championships 2025* in General Santos City.  

The competition was a beautiful showcase of talents in **Chess, Arnis, Athletics, Karate, Judo, and Lawn Tennis**. Gov. Uy’s eyes lit up as she personally greeted the athletes who proudly carried the name of the province to another stage of excellence. The sense of unity was palpable, and every handshake and smile was a testament to the shared journey toward victory.

From the municipalities of Initao, Villanueva, Lagonglong, Balingasag, Laguindingan, Balingoan, Opol, Tagoloan, and Jasaan came the medalists and winning coaches. Chess Coach **Dhomreylotter Querequere** expressed heartfelt gratitude for the privilege of representing the province. He proudly acknowledged that strong support from the provincial government helped the team endure every challenge along the way. From the moment they joined the competition until they safely returned, the athletes carried with them memories of determination and resilience—fueling their excitement for future tournaments.  

Among the bright stars was 12-year-old **Miykael Jerahmiel Lapad**, a gold medalist in Chess, who dreams of inspiring other young Misamisnons. Behind his victories is the tireless effort of his parents, ensuring he was trained well without neglecting his education. Miykael promised to give his best moves not only on the chessboard but also through his dedication to the sport.  

Building a Legacy for the Youth

The event reinforced Gov. Juliette Uy’s priority—to provide youth with the essential support needed to develop their full potential. Beyond medals and recognition, it was about investing in their future, ensuring not only peak physical performance but also excellent mental health.  

This celebration was more than just an awarding—it was a promise. A promise that Misamis Oriental will continue to nurture talent, celebrate dedication, and inspire young dreamers to reach for the stars.

The Big UPDATE You’ve Been Waiting For  

Hey, El Salvador City friends! Guess what? We’ve got some hot-off-the-press news — Latest Progress on Gaisano City El Salvador [3F]is looking mighty impressive. As of September 29, construction for the 20th Gaisano Mall under the CDO-based chain is officially in full swing.  

Vertical works? Oh, they’re happening! Columns are proudly standing tall, scaffolding is already hugging the structure, and builders are hustling to push up to the second level. Yep, that’s right — you can actually see this dream taking shape day by day. And the best part? This will be El Salvador City’s very FIRST mall ever. Talk about making history!  

Two Years to Grand Opening… But Worth the Wait!  

I know, I know — two years sounds like forever when you’re imagining strolling through sparkling new stores. But here’s the thing: big dreams like this take time, and progress is moving at a pace that’s pretty impressive already. Every column, every beam is getting us closer to the mall’s polished finish line.  

Once the ribbon is cut, we’re looking at a game-changer for the city — shopping, dining, entertainment, and probably our new favorite hangout spot all in one place. And if we’re being honest, having the first-ever mall in El Salvador City? That’s something we’ll be bragging about for years. 

Next time you pass by the construction site, take a good look — you’re literally watching your city level up before your eyes.
