Part of dropbox's adventure in i love phils
The place where I was born. It took for me 12 years to be in my hometown again. I was an elementary graduate that time when I was there. The place was not yet developed but it was a fun thing to go swimming with my beloved cousins . We we’re staying at my aunt’s house along the beach.
Let’s look back the history of Ozamis City.
Misamis was an Old Spanish town
, which existed as far back as the Spanish era and was conquered strangely not by force of arms, but through faith by some Jesuit Missionaries. Though obscure, the origin of the name “Misamis” is believed to have been derived from the Subano word “Kuyamis” which is a variety of coconut. During the years the name persisted as an inference of geographical location and upon the advent of the Spanish settlers. The word “Kuyamis” easily gave way to the more conveniently pronounceable but corrupted word “Misamis”
By origin, Misamis was full of natives, particularly Subanos, the freedom loving people in Northern Mindanao. Shortly before the coming of the Spaniards, Misamis was threatened by the marauding pirates coming from the nearby provinces of Lanao. As a result, the Subanos migrated to the provinces of Misamis Oriental and Zamboanga del Norte, particularly Dapitan,
the places where peace still reigned in their domains. Later, inhabitants from Bukidnon retreated to Misamis followed by the steady influx of settlers from Cebu and Bohol and formed one of the early migration to the place.
Ozamiz is a 2nd class city in the province of Misamis Occidental, Philippines. A person born in Ozamiz is called an “Ozamiznon”. It is agricultural by resources, but it has become a center for commerce, health, transportation and education in this part of Mindanao, considering its strategic location and its peaceful atmosphere. The city has an excellent harbor location, its local port is the principal outlet of mineral deposits, agricultural and forest products of the rich provinces of the two Zamboanga, part of Lanao del Norte and Misamis Occidental. The city comprises a total of 51 barangays wherein 23 are classified as urban and 28 classified as rural.
