The City College of Cagayan de Oro (CCCDO) made history as it successfully staged the first-ever Gawad Agipo awards ceremony on June 10, 2026, at the City Tourism Hall, with Mayor Klarex Uy in attendance to witness the landmark event.
Gawad Agipo, which translates to an award for initiative and action, was created to recognize students, student organizations, volunteer teams, and projects that have demonstrated outstanding dedication to community service by sharing their talents and knowledge for the betterment of society.
The ceremony celebrated individuals and groups whose selfless contributions have made a tangible impact on the Cagayan de Oro community. From outreach programs to volunteer-driven initiatives, the awardees exemplified the spirit of bayanihan and public service that the college seeks to instill in its students.
The event was described as a symbol of perseverance, dedication, initiative, and heartfelt service to the community. It also served as an inspiration for the youth to continue striving for excellence and contributing to a better future for all.
In addition to the awards ceremony, CCCDO has been actively pursuing partnerships and development initiatives. On June 4, 2026, the college convened a development meeting with the Geneva Office of Human Rights Education (GO-HRE) at the college library. The meeting evaluated the implementation of the Colega Manual in Teaching Human Rights and discussed strategies for its expansion and sustainability across the Philippines.
These milestones reflect the growing role of the City College of Cagayan de Oro as not just an academic institution but also a catalyst for community development and social engagement in Northern Mindanao.
