Cagayan

 
Overview

The Cagayan State University is the largest state institution of higher learning in the Cagayan Valley Region, in terms of enrollment and number of curricular program offerings.

Description

Walking the crowded, student-laden downtown streets of Cagayan de Oro (the ‘Oro’ refers to the gold discovered by the Spanish in the river here), not only do you move faster than traffic, but you also pick up on the energy of youth. Otherwise, it's a mostly ordinary expanding and developing Filipino city with a strong culinary scene. Much of Cagayan’s relatively robust economy centres on the Del Monte pineapple-processing plant north of town. Nestlé and Pepsi also make their corporate homes in the Philippines here. Popular with Korean tourists who come for English lessons, the comparatively cool climate and golf, the city is also the base for outdoor adventures such as rafting, hiking, rock climbing and caving.
