  • #35 Another version of how Cagayan de Oro got its name is told in of that story of a Bukidnon chieftain on the eastern side of Cagayan River (whose name according to old folks was Mansicampo), once had a quarrel with a Muslim Datu across the river (now the RER Subdivision), his name was Bagongsalibo.The quarrel became intense that the Bukidnon chieftain wanted it settled by war. However, the Muslim Datu across the river wanted to live in peace with his people in that part of Cagayan.Mansicampo then called on all his followers and relatives from the Bukidnon tribes of DaanLunsod, gathered on the eastern side of the river ready for combat then Mansicampo ordered his son, the Bagani, to go and see DatuBagongsalibo and arranged for a council of war.Therefore, the young prince went to see the Muslim Datu and confirmed with him. During the conference, however the young prince noted that there was a beautiful young woman who kept on peeping from behind a door looking at him.She was so beautiful that the young prince was immediately captivated and forgot his main purpose in the council. The young prince immediately proposed his intentions to the Muslim Datu who was only too willing to accept his land in marriage as he was not very keen about going to war against a neighbor.When the Bukidnon chieftain heard about his son proposing marriage to the daughter of his enemy. His warriors bid goodbye and left to live near the hills of Lumbia vowing never return to his former settlement which he now call "Kagayha-an" (or in Bukidnon, a place of shame).Since then, Cagayan de Oro has grown into one of the most peaceful and progressive cities in the entire Philippines.
  • #36 The theme of Cagayan de oro got its name was all about WAR because at first the maranao warriors planned to attact Cagayan but suddenly he son of datu Muslim fall inLOVE to the daughter of the enemy and by that he propose marriage, which was accepted and the war become settled down and at the end the war was depeat by love and there was a peace
