I had a client visit the past couple of weeks and took him to some of the local clubs such as the disco/live band venue of Pulse and the girlie club Spooks KTV. But the best show was at Club Troy

I had the good fortune to meet and interview Congressman Rufus Rodriguez of the 2nd District of Cagayan de Oro City on April 17, 2008.
