Ozamis City

Ozamiz City is nestled at the entrance of the rich Panguil Bay in Northern Mindonao with an estimated land area of 25,641 hectares. Behind it stands the 7,956 feet Malindang Mountain. It is bounded on the North by the Mindanao Sea, on the east by Iligan Bay and Panguil Bay, which separates it from its twin city of Cagayan de Oro, on the south by the province of Zamboanga del Sur. Like many of the neighboring towns and cities of Misamis Occidental, it is straddled along the coast of Panguil Bay portly because of its extremely rugged terrain of the interior and its commercial activities, which counter along the coastal area.
