Green Lights Ahead: GSM Taxi Rolls Into Northern Mindanao

A Friendly Visit With Big Plans

So here's the scoop: GSM Taxi recently paid a courtesy visit to LTFRB Region 10 Regional Director Aljo Bendijo, J.D. Why does this matter? Because the company is gearing up to launch its Green Taxi operations right here in Northern Mindanao, and this meeting was the first official step

Beyond the pleasantries, the conversation quickly turned practical. Both sides explored what electric taxis could mean for the region, from everyday commuters to the local economy.

Charging Ahead With Infrastructure

Naturally, EVs need power, so talks also touched on potential investments in EV charging stations. Additionally, they discussed the broader support infrastructure needed to keep electric taxis running smoothly.

These aren't small considerations either. As electric mobility expands, new business and economic opportunities are likely to follow, benefiting the region as a whole.

Compliance Still Comes First

RD Bendijo welcomed the shift toward cleaner transportation, but he was quick to emphasize compliance with LTFRB regulations. After all, sustainability and accountability go hand in hand.

He also pointed out that electric public transport strengthens more than mobility. It helps build the entire ecosystem needed for greener transportation to thrive.

Looking Toward a Greener Future

Ultimately, this courtesy visit shows LTFRB Region 10's ongoing engagement with transport stakeholders, supporting the Bagong Pilipinas agenda under President Marcos Jr. and DOTr Secretary Giovanni Lopez.

When Healing Meets History: Inside CDO's First Hospital Museum

A New Kind of Landmark

Cagayan de Oro just made history, literally. Inside JRBGH, healthcare and heritage now share the same walls.

Because it's the first museum ever built inside a hospital in all of Northern Mindanao, the exhibit instantly became a landmark moment for the city.

The Story Behind the Story

At the launch on Monday, August 24, curator Christopher L. Gomez put it simply: the exhibition tells not only the story of medicine, but the story of people, service, and compassion in Cagayan de Oro.

From there, photographs, medical instruments, documents, and memories trace how healthcare has evolved in the city over the decades.

What's on Display

Visitors will find records tied to the hospital's first chief nurse, first physician, and pioneering OB-GYN. There's even the hospital's very first X-ray machine on display.

Together with the City Museum of Cagayan de Oro, and timed to History Month and JRBGH's 63rd anniversary, the collaboration brought real weight to the celebration.

Why It Matters

City Councilor Dr. Paolo Gaane, representing Mayor Rolando "Klarex" Uy, joined the celebration alongside other supporters.

Ultimately, the museum preserves more than artifacts. It safeguards legacy, so future generations understand the people behind the city's healthcare story.
