River guides from the six whitewater river rafting outfitters of the city are now undergoing refresher course on basic life support and emergency aid at the City Tourism Hall as an offshoot of a tragic incident that resulted to the death of a 26-year old female tourist when the inflatable raft she and her companions rode on capsized after maneuvering a treacherous part of the Cagayan de Oro River on June 13, 2014. 

The re-training is part of the initiatives taken by the Philippine National Red Cross and the Task Force Rapids, a body created by City Mayor Oscar Moreno and headed by City Tourism Consultant Dorothy Jean Pabayo who is tasked to formulate measures that would ensure the safety of the adventurers of whitewater river rafting, as well as craft and recommend regulatory policies of the industry to the mayor.

USAID Acting Assistant Administrator for Asia Denise Rollins and USAID Philippines Mission Director Gloria Steele led on June 6 a delegation from the United States Agency for International Development to assess Cagayan de Oro City’s performance on the implementation of its project, Cities Development Initiative.

CDI aims to enhance the city’s business permits and licensing system as an engine for sustainable economic growth, along with other pilot cities of Batangas and Iloilo.

When the group toured the fully-airconditioned Business One-Stop Shop, Ms. Rollins told City Mayor Oscar Moreno that she’s impressed with the progress of the business permits and licensing streamlining project, particularly its automation system and the setting up of billing and queuing kiosks that ensure fast and prompt processing of transactions. 

Grateful and satisfied with what she saw on hand, the USAID official, along with Ms. Steele, Mayor Moreno and City Treasurer Dr. Glenn Bañez, even personally handed over a business plate and permit to a surprised businessman engaged in family entertainment and amusement center business who had just secured his business permit. 

The implementation of the CDI in Cagayan de Oro is managed and supervised by the Project INVEST office headed by Ms. Eileen San Juan and Ms. Nimfa Along-Albania.
