Ozamiz Is Ready For You

In line with the tourism development plan of the city, Ozamiz was truly ready for all visitors during and after the successful Familiarization Tour last October 28 and 29, 2016.

This is the 1^st Familiarization Tour that the City Tourism Office in partnership of the city government is hosting.  The event is entitled: “Discover Ozamiz; The Cultural, Historical and Pilgrimage Site of Misamis Occidental”; a 2-days event wherein the visitors are to be treated to a visual and taste experience that is truly Ozamiz in soul.   

Come and visit the shrine that was acknowledged by Pope Francis as truly miraculous during his Philippine visit.  Experience swimming in a spring sourced pool.  Zoom along the recognized longest zipline in Asia located at the Highland Adventure Park.  See the beauty of Lala’s eco-park and the path to Cobra Falls.  Come and see the different churches of the city and hear the majestic pipe organ of the Immaculate Concepcion Cathedral.

Taste the soft torta of Ozamiz.  Enjoy the flavor of laya, a known fish in the area of city.  Taste the rich sour flavor of tabon-tabon as used in some dishes here in Ozamiz.  Enjoy ramona with your tsokolate and kape.   Love the crunch of kiping topped with latik sauce and the barbecued saba brushed with margarine and sprinkled with sugar.

This event was graced by the Assistant Secretary of Tourism for Events, Frederick Alegre.  With him were various media practitioners such as Business Mirror, Grid Magazine, Cook Magazine, Philippine Graphic and others.  All of them shall enjoy the beauty of the place as planned and coordinated by The  Big Difference Communications, a PR, Marketing and Events team, in coordination with the Tourism Office of Ozamiz and the City Government.  It was a fun-filled event of gastronomic proportions and Mother Nature’s allure.

Along with all those mentioned above is the unveiling of the future tourism image of the city as planned by Mr. Jaime Tomada, City Tourism Officer of Ozamiz.  He, along with the other people behind this event, has personally chosen the places to visit to show as to why Ozamiz is a cultural, historical and pilgrimage site of Misamis Occidental.  The food was catered by no other than Johann’s Cuisine, a business that will bring forth an activity center, a new bike center café and a bigger and better home for Johann’s Catering.  Mr. Johann Dagandara, owner of Johann’s Cuisine, has prepared dishes that may sound common but truly taste different because of the local ingredients that he intended to use.  He also prepared a treat that was revealed during those two-days event.   Something that visitors can look forward to in their visit.  

Ms. Jennifer Catherine Burwell, head of The Big Difference Communications, has truly made the coordination along with her team to make both days run smoothly as planned.  Coordination with the invited guests was made possible by her team along with the set-up and designs on some locations to truly make things memorable and note-worthy.  The Big Difference Communications is a PR, Marketing and Events team that is geared to truly make a difference in the way of doing things but delivering what is needed and desired.  Truly making a difference is her trademark.
