A new theme for Abonitalla blog site

Abonitalla.com domain was registered with the intent of using it as my unique email address and for my family and relatives who may be interested in having a unique email address for themselves. As time goes by I decided to make use of the idle http part as a blog site but without any theme in mind.

Starting now the new theme of this blog will be Cagayan de Oro city society and its heritage. I will post here different stories about people in Cagayan de Oro as well as its heritage. I welcome any contributors who may want to write in this blog about the new theme. I will also be inviting some of my relatives who might be interested to write something here.

McArthur Marker groundbreaking

City Mayor Constantino G. Jaraula (far left) leads city officials in laying down the time capsule, highlighting the groundbreaking rites of the McArthur Marker at the old pier in Barangay Macabalan, Cagayan de Oro City, Feb. 1. Assisting the mayor are 2nd District Rep. Rufus Rodriguez, City Councilors Dante Pajo, Roger Abaday, and Alfonso Goking, Macabalan Chairperson Gertrudes Beja, and Historical Commission member Nanette Roa. Once completed, the marker would serve as a reminder that Gen. Douglas McArthur once passed by Cagayan de Oro enroute to Australia from Corregidor when Japanese imperial forces invaded the Philippines during the Second World War.
