Misamis Oriental

Misamis Oriental extends over 3,131 square kilometers along the Bohol Sea coastline, encompassing 23 municipalities and 2 cities including the capital Cagayan de Oro.

The province emerged from its separation from Misamis Occidental in 1939, following a legislative act that addressed the lack of geographic connection between the territories.

The Higaonon indigenous communities maintain their presence in the highlands, contributing to the environmental protection of Mount Sumagaya and its endemic species.

The provincial road network connects all municipalities, with regular transportation services operating between Cagayan de Oro and neighboring regions through land and sea routes.

Del Monte Philippines operates a major pineapple processing facility in the region, making it a significant contributor to fruit exports across the Asia-Pacific area.
