| Kinilaw na Tuna by Tuna Republik | Whatever the occasion or craving, there is always something waiting for you on foodpanda. |
Ask any Dabawenyo
about the city's food culture, and you'll likely get a different answer every
time. Some will point to the region's abundant seafood, while others will
champion iconic durian treats or the neighborhood eateries they've grown up
with.

There are places you visit because they are beautiful, places you return to because you had a great experience, and then there are places that will always feel like home no matter how far life takes you. For me, that place is Cagayan de Oro City. I may be based in BGC, Taguig today, surrounded by skyscrapers, busy streets, restaurants, offices, and the fast-paced lifestyle of Metro Manila, but a big part of me still belongs to CDO. I completed my schooling there, from elementary to high school and eventually college, so when I think about Cagayan de Oro, I am not simply thinking about a destination on a map. I am thinking about the place where I grew up, made memories, met people who became part of my life, and slowly became the person I am today.
