The candidates were introduced by Acting City Tourism Officer Mark Kenneth Jalapadan and Miss Cagayan de Oro co-chair and former Barangay 21 chairperson Gigi Go.

 

Mayor Klarex reminded the candidates to prioritize their studies. ‘Ayaw usiki ang inyong pag-eskwela kay dako kini na higayun na gihatag sa inyong ginikanan (Don’t waste the opportunity to acquire an education as given to you by your parents),’ Mayor Klarex advised the candidates.
