OZAMIZ CITY, Philippines — The ₱1.142-billion Ozamiz City Airport modernization project broke ground on Friday, October 9, as Misamis Occidental moves to improve air connectivity, strengthen tourism, and attract more investments.

Governor Henry S. Oaminal led the groundbreaking ceremony, joined by Vice Governor Rowena Gutierrez, Ozamiz City Mayor Sam Norman Fuentes, members of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan, local chief executives, and representatives of the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) and other government agencies.

The project covers the construction of a new passenger terminal building worth ₱720 million and runway improvements amounting to ₱422 million. The first phase of the terminal is designed to accommodate 494 seated passengers.

The runway component includes asphalt overlay and shoulder grade correction to improve airport infrastructure and support safer operations. The modernization will also include runway lighting to support evening flights.

The new terminal will feature provisions for international arrivals and departures, including facilities for immigration, security, and Bureau of Customs operations, laying the groundwork for expanded airport services.

Beyond infrastructure improvements, the project is expected to make Misamis Occidental more accessible to travelers, support local businesses, and open opportunities for tourism and investment. The possibility of direct air connections between the province and South Korea is also being explored, although no route has been confirmed.

The modernization marks a major step in upgrading the province’s air transport facilities. Its long-term impact will depend on the project’s completion, operational readiness, and the availability of expanded flight services to translate improved infrastructure into greater mobility and economic opportunities for Misamisnons.

via Bhal Abad Cabrera | October 9, 2026

MISAMIS OCCIDENTAL — The Mayor Hilarion A. Ramiro Sr. Medical Center (MHARS Medical Center) was recognized as one of the country’s Top 4 Performing Department of Health (DOH) hospitals for 2025 as it marked 55 years of providing healthcare services.

The hospital is also targeting apex hospital status by 2027, alongside plans to expand its capacity to 1,000 beds to accommodate more patients and improve access to medical services in Misamis Occidental and neighboring areas.

During the anniversary celebration, Medical Center Chief Dr. Jen Urbiztondo recognized Governor Henry S. Oaminal for his role in advancing the hospital’s expansion, from the implementation of its 500-bed capacity under the first Oaminal Law to the continuing push for a 1,000-bed capacity under Republic Act No. 11563.

The expansion is expected to strengthen the hospital’s capacity to respond to the growing healthcare needs of Misamisnons and patients from nearby provinces.

As MHARS Medical Center looks toward its next phase of development, its 55th anniversary highlights its continuing role in delivering public healthcare services and its goal of becoming a specialized referral center for the region.
