CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY—We were rediscovering the river in our midst, until the recent violent turn of the tides gave us reason to pause. Over the past three years, not just one but two floating restaurants have wooed adventurous diners. River taxis, which can be booked through the Safer River, Life Saver Foundation at the Liceo de Cagayan University, offered breathtaking, 45-minute tours from behind the San Agustin Cathedral to the mouth of the Macajalar Bay and back.

 History of the United Church of Christ of the Philippines
in Cagayan de Oro
