In Cagayan de Oro City

If I can have my way I would demolish this old goathouse and replace it with something akin to th one on the right. This is one of the sights in Cagayan de Oro City that serves to remind me that I should build something bigger and better.

Lakatan Bananas in Cagayan de Oro City

A month ago, I started planting Lakatan bananas from suckers I bought from Brod Dodo who has a lakatan farm in Kinoguitan. Planting lakatan bananas is not so easy involving not just land preparation which I did in the most haphazard way but also deciding how many plants you would want in your farm.

I decided it would be best to have a good enough density like 2,100 plants per hectare and computing from that I came up with a scheme of planting each sucker 215 cm. from each other. I think this is a pretty good number. The traditional way is to plant each sucker three meters apart which would result in a density of less than 1000 plants per hectare.

The Night Cafe in Cagayan de Oro City

The Night Cafe seems to have become a permanent fixture in Cagayan de Oro City and merchants ad hawkers as no longer content to show their wares on Friday and Saturday as the designated dates; but they seem to have them at the Divisoria on other days as well. This has come to be accepted by the people of Cagayan de Oro as well who seem to appreciate the fiesta atmosphere of wares being displayed on the streets.

I used to think that the Night Cafe was a big nuisance and that it served very little purpose at all. I could be wrong and the fact that more and more sellers and buyers come to meet on weekends to conduct commerce seems to suggest that this is something that benefits many people. Certainly Cagayan de Oro City has changed in more ways than one. Like or not, the Night Cafe seems to indicate an ever-increasing presence in the lives of the folks of Cagayan de Oro City. C'est la vie.
