Through various events such as the Subayan Keg Subanon Festival, the people of Ozamiz City are able to showcase their culture and traditions. The festival features the lumads or indigenous people known as the Subanon. During this festivity, they hold vibrant street dancing and tableau competitions that highlights the lifestyle of the Subanons.the celebration of Subayan Keg Subanon Festival coincides with the feast of Our Lady of Triumph at Cotta Shrine celebrated every July 16, which is also the Charter City anniversary. They also celebrate the feast of Immaculate Conception every December 8 while every 4th Sunday of January is the Sr. Sto. Niño Fluvial Parade held at Panguil Bay.

 

2. Its strategic location connects you to more business and career opportunities

While Ozamiz City is rich with agricultural resources, it has become the center for commerce, health, transportation and education in this part of Mindanao thanks to its strategic location and its peaceful atmosphere. The Gem of Panguil Bay has also a good harbor location as its local port is the principal outlet of mineral deposits, agricultural and forest products of the provinces of Zamboanga del Norte, Zamboanga del Sur, parts of Lanao del Norte and Misamis Occidental. 

 

The city is also expected to be the dragon fruit basket of the Philippines because of the rising dragon fruit farms in Ozamiz. In fact, the city has been widely known for its delectable dragon fruit ice cream that became a must-try for every traveler visiting the city for the first time. And speaking of travels, tourism is booming in Ozamiz. So because of these, a lot of business and career opportunities will be open for you. 

 

3. Infrastructure road projects are on the way

One of the most awaited infrastructure road projects in the area is the Panguil Bay Bridge as it is going to be the longest bridge in the Philippines at 3.16 km., which would surpass the San Juanico Bridge with a length of 2.16-km. that connects Samar and Leyte provinces in the Eastern Visayas region.

 

Once the construction of the Panguil Bay Bridge is done, it will connect Lanao del Norte and Misamis Occidental, and further connect the emerging cities of Tangub and Tubod. Significantly, Panguil Bay Bridge would drastically reduce travel time from Tubod to Tangub City to only seven minutes from the current two hours and a half.
