Featuring Ozamiz City (4 Best Tourist Spots)

1. Ozamiz City Hall

After my historical tour in Dipolog and Dapitan City in Zamboanga del Norte, I traveled to Ozamiz City, Misamis Occidental (Region 10).

On the way, I noticed the wide farmlands, but when I arrived in the center, this city was the same as the other cities; business establishments were on every corner, transportation was continuous, and the streets were undeniably busy. From the Integrated Terminal, I rode on a tricycle to the different tourist spots, attractions, and destinations.
