There's been a meetup done in Bacolod-Iloilo[1] and Cebu[2] down south, why the F not up north?

I decided to post this a month in advance so a lot of us can plan and talk about the meetup.

I'll be creating a self post once this gains enough traction.

Cagayan de Oro’s Higalaay Festival 2015: Feast of St. Augustine[1] This year’s Cagayan de Oro’s HIGALAAY FESTIVAL will feature thirteen (13) Core Events with several other parallel events including the first ever RAFTHON, and the MINDANAO PHOTO SUMMIT.

The whole month celebration revolves around the Feast of St. Augustine set on the 28th of August. But more than that, the festival also showcases the city’s rich cultural heritage and the ‘Golden Friendship’ it is known for as it progresses into a more resilient and booming economy.
