by lakwatserong tatay

The day we've been waiting for....our first Mindanao trip....all of us are first timers to the province of Mindanao, but who cares, that' why we called ourselves the X-plorerboyz......^_^

Our meet up place was office building lobby....and sad to say...as i remember i'm the last person to arrive....kung sino yun promotor at nagorganize...siya pa late...^_^

We had a quite late afternoon flight, and as usual to all of my travels...we arrive just a bit early to our flight check-in schedule, but again and again...we encountered delay of flights.....^_^

photo opps nalang ulit....

At last after being delayed for more than 30 minutes...our plane arrives.....yahooo....see you Northern Mindanao in a short while....

our delayed airplane...^_^

Even after we have got into the gate....di maubos ang photo shoot......eto ang isa....at siyempre meron na naman ako solo shot with Cebu Pacific plane flight....joke lng....^_^

And then....we fly...of course i wouldn't missed the chance to take some shots while on the plane...pasaway mode...sabi ng iba bawal daw magpicture....sabi ko bahala kayo...^_^

After one hour and few minutes we arrive in the City of Golden Friendship......Capital Town of Misamis Oriental, Cagayan de Oro City.....yahooo....actually it  raining when we arrived......pero di parin mapigil ang photo opps...^_^

from wikipedia.... Northern Mindanao (Filipino: Hilagang Mindanao) (Region X) is a region of the Philippines, composed of five provinces and two cities classified as highly-urbanized, all occupying the north-central part of Mindanao island, and the island-province of Camiguin. The regional center is Cagayan de Oro City. Lanao del Norte was transferred to Northern Mindanao from Region XII (then called Central Mindanao) by virtue of Executive Order No. 36.

And for the next 6 days, we had the chance to visit 4 of it's provinces and 2 of it's major cities. Our first stop was the city of Cagayan de Oro........^_^
