The Cagayan de Oro Amphitheater is where the late Senate president Aquilino Pimentel Jr., a former mayor, led anti-Marcos protests.
CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY, Philippines – The city government unveiled on Monday afternoon, February 28, the city’s fully restored amphitheater, a historical landmark that was the site of many political discourses and anti-Marcos protests.
“Lunhaw,” which means green, vibrant, and lush, is a multi-agency undertaking to provide a recreational area and urban green spaces on a multi-billion-peso flood control project along the Cagayan River with the help of the United Nations-Habitat Philippines. Pimentel also noted that his fellow senator, Filipino boxing icon and now presidential bet Manny Pacquiao, once fought at the then weekly Boxing at the Park near the amphitheater years before the former boxer rose to international fame.
Plaza Divisoria consists of six parks: Magsaysay Park, Bonifacio Park, Borja Park, Rizal Park, People’s Park, and the Amphitheater Area.
