De Lima cans Mikey classmate in BI facelift
Cagayan de Oro City, the biggest urban center in Northern Mindanao, has a slew of monickers that it goes by. Kagayanons (as the residents are collectively called) like to say “The City of Golden Friendship.” The Department of Tourism refers to CDO as “The Gateway to Mindanao.” Others call it “The City of the River of Gold.” But personally the name that appeals most is “The City of Smiles” alluding to the sunny disposition of the place which is relatively tranquil all year round as it is rarely beset by typhoons or fierce weather disturbances. Unfortunately, the smiles turn into frowns, frowns on the faces of the hundreds of passengers of Cebu Pacific and Philippine Airlines jets which arrive daily at CDO’s Lumbia Airport, as they are forced to stand inside the arrival area while awaiting their luggage to be unloaded and put on the solitary carousel. Because there isn’t a single chair around for them to sit on and rest their aching doggies. Yes, that’s right, not one chair or stool inside the Lumbia Airport’s arrival area. And Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) director general Alfonso Cusi better believe this, if he knows what’s good for him.
