This book rather aims to be a tool for us to constantly remember our past as we build up our identity for a meaningful future. Rich in history and cultural heritage, Misamis Occidental, the Grand Northwest of Mindanao, reminds us of our human call to reconnect with our historical past as a pilgrim people and learn noteworthy lessons in existence. The ecclesiastical and secular events that intertwined the early history of Misamisnons make us realize that the many aspects of our own historicity are priceless as life itself. The essays, each a product of reflection and historical research, deal with individuals, places and events related to the timeline of the Grand Northwest.
