CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – A regional consultation workshop was held in Cagayan de Oro city on 15 September, to come up with a comprehensive development plan for the youth. The ideas, inputs, and good practices gathered will form part of the Philippine Youth Development Plan (PYDP) 2017-2022. National Youth Commission (NYC) Assistant Secretary Earl Saavedra said the activity intends to sustain the vision for the youth, pursue its goals and reset the priorities.

“WE have already promoted extensively all the tourist spots in Northern Mindanao. It’s now time for us to pay back.” Thus was the thinking of the officers and members of the Cagayan de Oro Travel and Tours Association (COTTA) in conceptualizing “Lakaw Tah 2016,” a three-day gathering of the leading tour providers in the country in Mindanao. “We have noticed that many travel expos, which are nationwide in scope are relegated to Metro Manila. So, I said, why not hold one in Mindanao right in our beloved City of Cagayan de Oro,” COTTA President Jules Baril said. And, the 30 members of COTTA unanimously agreed. Thus, Lakaw Tah 2016 was born. As early as five months ago, COTTA already courted the top tour suppliers and agencies in Metro Manila to come to Cagayan de Oro and present their exhibit as well as their products and services line in the three-day event to be held at Centrio this September 20 through See sale, page B7
