San Agustin Cathderal in Cagayan de Oro City, Misamis_Oriental

San Augustine Cathedral

The Saint Augustine Cathedral was built in 1624 by Fray Agustin San Pedro who was called El Padre Capitan by the residents here. In 1778, both the church and convent were burned down. From its ruins, Fray Pedro de Santa Barbara, together with generous Cagayanons, built the new church which was inaugurated in 1780. But, it too did not last long as it was gutted in 1831. In 1841, the church was rebuilt using concrete materials. It was adorned with beautiful paintings of the four evangelists. It had a pipe organ. The wooden cross which stands today in the front of the cathedral, was erected in 1888. Archbishop James Hayes, SJ, in 1946 rebuilt the Cathedral and the Convent. It was about this time that the stained glass, given by the New York Sacred Heart chapel, was installed. (PHOTO : by Rhoel Condeza)

Php3.884 Million SEP to 3 Sitios | Puroks in San Pedro, Jampason and Kamelon in Initao Turned Over

The recent electrification ceremony held last Friday August 23, 2024, once again marks a significant step in improving living conditions for the fifty-five recipient households in three barangays—San Pedro, Jampason and Kamelon —all of Initao. This event is part of the Sitio Electrification Program (SEP) led by the National Electrification Administration (NEA) in partnership with the Misamis Oriental-1 Rural Electric Service Cooperative, Inc (MORESCO-1). The ceremony celebrated the symbolic turnover and energization, which are crucial in the government’s effort to achieve full electrification of all sitios across the Philippines, aiming to boost economic development and alleviate poverty.

During this seventh installment of a planned series of eight energization  ceremonies, electricity was successfully delivered to several areas:

Purok 5A, San Pedro , Initao: 16 households received electricity with 7 electric posts installed, costing a total of PHP 586,555.11 for distribution lines (P490,655.37) and house wiring materials (P95,699.74).

Purok 1B, Jampason, Initao: 11 households received electricity with 3 electric posts installed, costing a total of PHP 382,047.50  for distribution lines (P287,151.36) and house wiring materials (P382,047.50).

Lunusan, Kamelon, Initao: 28 households received electricity with 33 electric posts installed, costing a total of PHP 2,916,285.16  for distribution lines (P2,670,421.11) and house wiring materials (245,864.05).

Gracing the occasion were Hon Mercy Grace “Gagay” J. Acain, and the Punong Barangay | Barangay Captains and few members of the Barangay Councils of San Pedro, Jampason and Kamelon. Also present and spoke with the MCOs and SEP recipients were Director Edgar G. Buhian and Manticao Service Area Manager Engr. Jogiepril Legaspi.

SEP is a pivotal component of the government’s strategy to close the development gap in rural regions by supplying electricity to isolated sitios and puroks. These enclaves, often far from barangay centers, face substantial challenges due to the lack of reliable power. The program allocates resources for building distribution lines and house wiring, ensuring that eligible households can access modern energy, thereby enhancing their quality of life.
