Short trip to Cabadbaran City

I went to Cabadbaran yesterday. I left home at 11.30 AM. I arrived in the Bus Terminal after 7 minutes and waited for another 15 minutes inside the bus to move. At exactly 2:00PM, I arrived in Cabadbaran City.

Cabadbaran City is a small city. It has 36 Barangays. It became city last July 27, 2007 through the effort of the Amantes.

What I noticed in Cabadbaran City is, it is very clean and smoke free city. I can never see any body smoking in public area especially in their bus terminal. Kudos to the government of Cabadbaran City for strictly implementing the law. Their comfort room in the bus terminal is very clean, too. It is well-cleaned by the maintenance staff.

Cabadbaran City is very accessible. If you are from Surigao, it takes two hours by bus or van to reach Cabadbaran City. If you are from Butuan, one hour or less by bus or van. It can be reached also by air. From Manila and Cebu,  it can be accessed via Surigao Domestic Airport or Butuan Domestic Airport. By sea, via Surigao Port and Lipata Port or by Nasipit International Port.

My short visit in Cabadbaran City is "personal matter". I wasn't having a good time there. After processing my "personal business matter", I went home immediately.

Just noticed the formation of the clouds, it's amazing.

a little info about Cabadbaran City from Wikipedia....

Cabadbaran City is a city in the province of Agusan del Norte, Philippines. It is also the officially-designated capital of the province per Republic Act 8811. According to the 2000 census, it has a population of 55,006 people in 10,410 households

Recently Cabadbaran lost its cityhood, along with 15 other cities, after the Supreme Court of the Philippines granted a petition filed by the League of Cities of the Philippines, and declared the cityhood law (RA 9434) which allowed the town to acquire its city status, unconstitutional. The said cities, the court ruled, did not meet the requirements for cityhood. More than a year later, on December 22, 2009, acting on the appeal of the so-called "League of 16 Cities" (of which Cabadbaran is a part of), the Supreme Court reversed its earlier ruling as it ruled that "at the end of the day, the passage of the amendatory law (regarding the criteria for cityhood as set by Congress) is no different from the enactment of a law, i.e., the cityhood laws specifically exempting a particular political subdivision from the criteria earlier mentioned. Congress, in enacting the exempting law/s, effectively decreased the already codified indicators."[1] As such, the cityhood status of Cabadbaran is effectively restored.
