Message of Presidential Communications Secretary and CORDS for Northern Mindanao (CORDS X) Martin Andanar on the 69th Founding Anniversary of the Cagayan de Oro Press Club


We extend our warmest congratulations to the Cagayan de Oro Press Club, the oldest press club in the country, on the occasion of its 69th Founding Anniversary.

The Cagayan de Oro Press Club was impactful to my upbringing, beyond that, it has been instrumental not only in promoting information dissemination among the Cagayanons, but also in ensuring the welfare of each and every media practitioner in the city.

Keeping the Cagayanons informed is deeply entrenched in their goals as an association. Their presence, services, and programs have profoundly contributed to the continued vibrance of the media and societal landscapes of Cagayan de Oro and its aspiring citizens, such as myself.

We wish for Cagayan de Oro Press Club’s continued success for years to come, so that they may keep on informing the public as well as nurturing the press and helping the media industry in Cagayan de Oro grow, for the future of the Cagayanons.
