AGAYAN de Oro City -- The world’s first civic service organization, Rotary International, adds another club to its ranks with the addition of the Rotary Club of Cagayan de Oro Premier. Local members are to receive a charter on Saturday, 13 June 2015 in a ceremony to be held at the Casa Real, VIP Hotel. The officers of the club will also be inducted in the same occasion. The new club joins RI’s global association of 34,000 Rotary clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical areas.
“The presentation of our charter is the significant moment that legitimizes our existence and celebrates our distinctiveness,” says President Ilya Kristine “Batin” Ravanera. “While we are one in many, we are also distinct from many. Our club membership is fairly young in age. Also, our club boasts of second, third and even fourth-generation Rotarians.” District Governor Manuel “Manny” Along has high hopes for this young and dynamic group. “You have chosen ‘Rota r y Club of Cagayan de Oro Premier’ as your name because you have aimed to be a premier club in the district. I encourage you to work hard to achieve
this goal. All of you have the potential to be outstanding Rotarians and future leaders of your club and the district. I will not be surprised if that happens sooner than later,” he tells members in a message. RC CDO Premier plans to tackle local initiatives and projects aligned with promoting peace and conflict resolution, fighting diseases, providing clean water and sanitation, improving maternal and child care, supporting basic education and literacy, and growing local economies. The club joins Rotary’s global network of volunteers in enhancing their communities and promoting international goodwill Charter/PAGE 7

HIMUGSO Heritage Feature:
The Forgotten Fruit Trees of Cagayan de Misamis by Mike Baños, Editor-at-Large
Along with the old houses, street names and landmarks which have become a part of the heritage of Cagayan de Oro, are some trees and their fruits which seem to have inexplicably disappeared over time. Two trees which have figured prominently in the culture and heritage of Cagayan de Oro are the Lambago and Kayam. “Our place was once known as Kalambagohan because of the abundance of lambago,” Roy Gaane, president and founder of Kagayanon International, recalls. The Lambago tree (Hibiscus tiliaceus) is a member of the Malvaceae tree family that thrives in low altitude areas like seashores, riverbanks and other areas reached by tidal streams. Long-time resident Titus Velez reminisces how the lambago produced a yellow flower with some red stripes. As the day came and went, the flowers deepened to orange and then to red before falling off. The branches of the tree would bend over time and the wood has been used for boats, firewood, wood carvings and many other uses. It has also been used by Hawaiian Polynesians to make rope. “They serve as anti-erosion sa mga riverbanks, trapping silt during the seasonal floods of the Cagayan River,” Velez said. “We use to climb this tree from on tree to another. Kasi almost interlocking ang mga branches. The branches are also very flexible and strong even the small ones. We also use the branches as an improvised diving board. During summer we would enjoy its shade.” “Under the tree we would cook banana with ginamos and a bottle of coke. We could sleep in the branches while bringing the old transistor radio (the ones with Nora Aunor’s face on the dial), while listening to dramas from dyHP. We also fly out
kites there, well actually on a small clearing besides the trees,” he added. “Those were the days. The last lambago I saw was along Iponan river but it’s not there anymore. I’m not sure if there are still lambago if we go upstream. I think it is a victim of rapid urbanization.” To rectify this situation, the Cagayan de Oro city government, led by City Local Environment and Natural Resources Officer Edwin Dael, will plant 65 lambago seedlings provided by City Tourism Council Chairperson Dorothy Jean B. Pabayo, at Duaw Park and directly across Cagayan River on Saturday, June 13, to commemorate the 65th Charter Day anniversary of the city. The Kayam was better known to elder Kagay-anons for its nut which was a popular delicacy during their childhood days in the city. “I remember that my mother had a suki who would deliver cooked or boiled kayam to the house,” wrote Gwendloyn RamosGarcia in her reminisces entitled Memories of the Old Hometown. “I haven’t seen kayam for a long, long time now.” “It tastes like castañas (chestnuts) except it is bigger,” Gaane said. “ You can look it up in Google under the name of Tahitian Chestnut or Polynesian Chestnut.” The tree was even linked in popular culture to one of the city’s barangays. “When I was still in grade school, there were kayam trees in Consolacion, then known as the red light district of Cagayan,” Gaane said. “When men who patronized the district were asked where they had been, they would say, Nang kayam ‘mi . It became notorious and that was probably why the trees were cut.” Gaane also recalls other fruits of his childhood in Cagayan de Oro but which are now hard-to-find. “There was the alubijid tree once found by the side of the Provincial Capitol,” he said. “Its fruit is evergreen and its seed is hairy like that
of the siniguelas except that the alubijid is round and big as a tennis ball. It probably can still be found in the town of Alubijid. It’s crunchy like an apple, green, with hairy kernel. Just like the pangi fruit which was once found in Barangay Tagpangi. It must still be there,” he added. Gaane also recalls a fruit better known as the cherry which was brownish and about the size of lanzones. “There used to be a tree at the Kempski compound that later became Rizal Theatre. Being a family friend, I used to get my cherries there.” When he was a grade schooler in Ateneo de Cagayan (now better known as Xavier University), Gaane said he was a patron of the cherries which used to be sold by the Neri’s who had a property right next to the old gymnasium. “I remember that cherry tree which belonged to the family of Luisito Neri,” Ramos-Garcia said. “It was
delicious but the tree was full of thorns.” Jazmin RamosSumalinog, eldest daughter of former Pilgrim Institute High School Principal Severino Ramos recalls they used to have a cherry tree in their front yard. “Didto mi sa taas sa cherry pirmi magsaka to get the dark plum-colored ones. Daghan gusto mopalit when the fruits look so tempting to passersby,” she said. “Dante, Bobom, Totic and myself ‘owned’ our respective branches, so that we get fruits only from our assigned branch. Nakaka miss !” “The cherry is known as cereales in Davao and serali in the Visayas,” said Sylvia Aguhob, a food tech faculty from Xavier University’s College of Agriculture. She said many of the trees still line the pathway in the car park of the now cloistered Southeast Asian Rural Social Leadership Institute
Cereales fruits also known locally as cherries
(Searsolin) at the Manresa campus of XU. Another fruit which was once abundant in Carmen in what is now the Golden Village was the songsong kabaw . “When ripe it is red and hairy like the mabolo but you only eat its flesh like the mangosteen,” Gaane recalls. Like the cherry, he said he hasn’t seen one since his high school days. Veteran journalist Ben Emata, now based in Los Angeles, USA, also has fond memories of the songsong kabaw. “This is a sweet fruit that looks like the nipple of a carabao,” he muses. “When I went hunting during my childhood days, Songsong Kabaw were abundant side by side with bayabas or guavas. I have not seen this fruit for a very long time. It was not sold in the market since it was a wild fruit.” Philippine Heritage gives Songsong Kabaw’s scientific name as Annonaceae
Uvaria rufe and its found from Northern Luzon to Palawan and Mindanao where it is known as the susong-kalabaw, susog kaba, and a host of other regional variants. According to MarketMan of the wonderful blog Market Manila, Songsong Kabaw is a member ot the Annonaceae family, which counts among its cousins, guyabano (soursop), atis (custard apple) and ylangylang.

Fujidenzo celebrates a decade of quality appliances One of the most significant milestones for Fujidenzo, one of the country’s leading marketer of quality home and commercial appliances, came when it recently celebrated its 10th year anniversary. An afternoon of thanksgiving and celebration was recently held at the Quezon City Sports Club wherein Fujidenzo took the opportunity to thank and give back to the people who have supported and trusted the brand for the past 10 years. According to Fujidenzo Brand Manager Adrian Jasper Sioco, the decision to make Fujidenzo available in the Philippines was a response to the needs of the market. “In 2005, we decided to introduce Fujidenzo because in the Philippines’ appliance market, consumers have very limited choices: branded appliances which are very expensive, or cheap appliances that are of low quality and have poor after sales service. So we felt that consumers deserved to have an alternative, to have high quality appliances that are energy efficient and affordable.” And this is where Fujidenzo came in. So what differentiated Fujidenzo from these brands? Unlike others, Fujidenzo is a world class appliance that has passed international safety standards and constantly ensures a high
level of quality control in the manufacturing process. Exatech, the exclusive distributor of Fujidenzo in the Philippines, guarantee that Fujidenzo products are designed to meet the requirements of discerning Filipinos. They also provide comprehensive after sales service with over 100 service centers nationwide. “Fujidenzo aims to give Filipino consumers superior quality and energy efficient appliances with innovative features that bring useful benefits to its users. We always strive to offer only the best features and technologies. In our 10 years of providing dependable and durable products, Fujidenzo has become among the very few brands Filipino homes and businesses trust,” added Sioco. The start of a legacy Fujidenzo’s main products are freezers, chillers, refrigerators, air conditioners, washers and dryers, microwave ovens, cooking ranges, and sterilizers, and are exclusively distributed here in the country by Exatech. According to its president, Nixon Sioco, “A decade is the start of a great legacy. It enhances even more the value of a brand and the credibility of a company in the eyes of its customers or clients. I’m proud to say that in all our years of promoting Fujidenzo,
its line of home and commercial appliances have consistently garnered consumer confidence and secured its reputation for durability, efficiency, and dependability. With our commitment to quality, Fujidenzo will be focusing on making more innovative and energy efficient products and services that would definitely benefit our consumers.” As the celebration drew to a close, Fujienzo vowed to do more than just provide great products, but to also continuously create innovative and energy efficient solutions for consumers all over the Philippines. With Fujidenzo’s commitment to quality above all, you can definitely expect more from this brand in the coming years.

Cagayan de Oro’s Oldest Store looks forward to the next century and beyond By Mike Baños, Editor-at-Large
(We are bringing back stories of the olden days of Cagayan de Oro in commemoration of the 65th Charter Day Anniversary of its founding)
In the center of Wadhu’s Quality Store stands a 1931 NCR cash register, bought by the store’s founder by mail order from Sears & Roebuck in the United States 79 years ago. During the second world war, the owner wrapped it in grease and buried it in his backyard. After the war, he dug it up and it still serves the same store now run by his grandson Haresh.
That cash register is the living testimony of the traditions that has made Wadhu›s Quality Store Cagayan de Oro›s oldest surviving retail store, a tradition established by the store›s patriarch and carried on by the third generation which now runs it. Seventy nine years ago, The set up in Cagayan de Misamis (as Cagayan de Oro was then known) ‘Wadhu’s Home of Quality’ near Plaza Divisoria, the town’s social and commercial center. Mr. Wadhu arrived in the Philippines as a 12year old boy from India in 1924. He was employed at the Indian Bazaar owned by his uncle Nebhraj Ramchand Buhdrani in Zamboanga City for 12 years where he gained his basic knowledge and business savvy in the retail trade. In 1936, he felt he had enough seed money, contacts and experience to establish his own store in Iligan, but decided on Cagayan instead. His thatched roof store, which featured items bought by mail order from Sears & Roebuck, was set amidst stores run by Japanese nationals near the Heroes de Cagayan monument. Divisoria was the Escolta of Cagayan in those days, and the nearby public market ensured the fledgling store flourished until World War II exploded.
«My father survived the war by bartering his goods for food and clothing,» said his son, Wadhu «Dodong» Jr. «He married my mom, Trinidad Babiera Valmores at Balingasag, Misamis Oriental in 1943 and had two children, myself and my sister Linda.» In 1946, «Mr. Wadhu» (as he was fondly called by friends and customers) reopened at a new location in Plaza Divisoria just across the public market, but moved to the next block after two years, where its present name, «Wadhu›s Quality Store» was first seen. The store moved to its present site in the corner of J.R. Borja and Pabayo streets when Mayor Justiniano Borja moved the city public market to the Cogon area in 1958. «My dad didn›t want to be too close to the Cogon market where competition would be stiff but he also didn›t want to be too far from the former site in Divisoria and his regular customers,» Dodong explained. In 1973, the elder Wadhu felt the younger generation was ready to take the reins of the business and turned over the store›s management to Dodong. «The idea was to help infuse faster and newer approaches towards marketing and merchandising without changing the original concepts on which we made our reputation,» Dodong recalls. «We introduced new products catering to the tastes of the younger generation and terminated others which were slow moving.» And not too soon. By 1975, retails giants Ororama and Gaisano came into the picture, forcing other stores to fold up due to the intense competition. «We took this as an opportunity, a challenge to make our strategies competitive with the giants,» Dodong said.

This was how the pioneering store Wadhu’s House of Quality (now Wadhu’s Quality Store) looked like in the late 1930’s when it was still situated at its original site in Plaza Divisoria. (photos courtesy of Dodong Wadhu)
«I have always welcomed competition because it is the only way to serve the public with better service and cheaper prices.» For instance, when more people from Butuan, Surigao, Bukidnon and Iligan began coming to Cagayan de Oro, Wadhu›s still multiplied its customers despite stiff competition from the bigger stores. «Our overhead is not as large as the big ones, so we were able to adjust our prices and compete,» Dodong said. «Since we were also getting the same merchandise from the same suppliers, we were able to attract more customers with our lower prices without sacrificing service and quality.» The 1990s brought even stiffer competition from malls like SM City and Limketkai Mall which featured a wide variety of stores and merchandise and attractive amenities like national food chains and cinemas all under one roof. «We kept our loyal customers and even added more through our personalized

service,» Dodong said. «Most of the sales girls in the big malls are hired on a casual basis and are no match for better paid and motivated sales staff of smaller stores who have better experience and training, not to mention knowing the customers on a first name basis.» «Everyone is equally served and each person is attended to no matter how small their needs are,» he adds. «We train our sales people never to look down on anyone and treat them as regular adult customers regardless of age, gender or appearance.» Some years ago, a shabbily dressed barefoot gentlemen wanted to buy an expensive watch. Sensing the sales clerk was at a loss on how to deal with him, Dodong stepped in to personally entertain him and he paid in cash. «It was only a week later that I found out he was the owner of a big building which housed many stores in Bukidnon,» Dodong wryly recalls. «He told me ours was the third store he went to and the only one who gave him any attention.» More recently, traders from Mainland China, Taiwan and Korea have swamped the city with low quality merchandise at very low prices. Together with the «ukay-ukay» vendors selling smuggled garments and shoes at rock bottom prices, they have crowded the city›s sidewalks and even areas fronting regular stores. Instead of caving in under the assault, Wadhu›s opened a new branch in the Carmen market area. It carries the same merchandise for which the main store has been known for such as watches,
Mr. Wadhu Dharamdas Uttamchandani (photo courtesy of Dodong Wadhu)
sporting goods, and related items. Eventually, that branch moved to the Robinson’s Big R Supermarket building at Limketkai Center where it is now managed by Dodong’s younger son John-John. The third generation of Wadhus takes all the competition and changes in stride, having been born and raised in Cagayan de Oro under the tutelage of their father and grandfather. They remain confident the «Open Door» policy of the original Wadhu›s Home of Quality will see them through their next century (which is just around the corner) and beyond. «We grew up in this store and we don›t see any reason to change how it looks or operates,» said the elder Haresh. «Since my grandfather first started this store, he insisted that my Dad leave
the store›s doors wide open so even people from the rural areas would not be shy to come in and window shop. They don›t feel pressured to buy something and can window shop as much as they like.» “We will be celebrating our 80th anniversary come 2016 and we will be giving watches as a token of our appreciation,” said Dodong with a smile. In the center of the store, Haresh rings up another sale in the NCR cash register. If the sale totals more than the P99.00 the machine is capable of calculating, he uses a small calculator. It looks like the old machine could easily outlive a dozen or so of its modern counterparts, just like the store it serves in the corner of J.R. Borja and Pabayo streets in Cagayan de Oro has done to many of its larger competitors.
