The J.R. Borja Memorial City Hospital (JRBMCH) was established on August 25, 1963 as a primary hospital to serve the health care needs of the populace of Cagayan de Oro City, particularly the poor and the indigent, who cannot afford the then rising hospital costs. The hospital was envisioned by the late
Mayor Justiniano R. Borja, for whom the hospital was named in his memory.
The JRBMCH is situated on J.V. Serina Street, Carmen,Cagayan de Oro City, a mere kilometer distance from the seat of government of the City of Cagayan de Oro. It was constructed on a 3-hectare lot donated by the Villarin sisters to the city of government. It has a total hospital floor area of more than 2,000 square meters, enough to accomodate the administration offices, clinics, function rooms and a compliment of 100-beds, with additional benches at the corridors that can accomodate up to 30 patients more.
The J.R. Borja Memorial City Hospital operates under the auspices and mandates of the city government of Cagayan de Oro with all its operational, maintenance and capital expenditures funded solely and exclusively by the city government. Though, on some occasion, it receives grants from congressional/senate funds and cause-oriented groups.
The hospital is manned by fully trained and competent medical staff, complemented by a pool of hardworking administrative and ancillary staff, which are selected and appointed competitively under the Civil Service Rules and Regulations.
Over time, the JRBMCH was able to establish a separate facility to cater to the needs of tuberculosis patients. It has also constructed a 3-storey building, the 1st and 2nd floor, which is almost completed, is built to expand hospital operations and ward facilities.
Since its existence, the JRBMCH was able to pursue diligently its role in improving primary, secondary, preventive and curative health services to the populace of Cagayan de Oro City, implemented in coordination with the city government and the various cause-oriented groups, who are regularly sponsoring civic action, people-to-people programs and the like.
By virtue of City Ordinance in 10209-2006, the J.R. BORJA MEMORIAL CITY HOSPITAL became the J.R. BORJA GENERAL HOSPITAL of Cagayan de Oro City.

The Philippines has countless banana varieties. This is the lakatan variety. Filipinos believed that bananas can clear your throat if a fish bone gets stuck in your throat. A big gulp of banana can sweep down the food stucked in your throat down to the stomach. Is this really true? What’s your experience? www.cagayandeoroblog.com

FROM: MRS ROSE ROBERT.
roserobert_46@yahoo.cn
With due resperct and humblelity. I am Mrs.ROSE ROBERT. from Tunisia but now undergoing medical treatment. I was married to MR. ROBERT. who worked with a cocoa company in ABIDJAN for nine years, before he died in the year 2002. We were both married for eleven years without children.
He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $ 19.2 million deposited in a company here in Cote D’ Ivoire. And he daposited it as family valuebles not as money. I will send you the contact details of the company as soon as you indicate your interest.
Recently, my Doctor told me that I will die soon due to my cancer illness. Having known my condition and believing the doctor I have decided to donate this fund to avoid total loss to church, Less privilege, or better still a Christian individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein.
This money should be used to help churches, orphanages ,widows and propagating the Gospel and to ensure that the house of God is maintained. Please do not fail to spread the funds across the globe especially AFRICA as soon as you receive the money.
I took this decision because I don’t have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are fighting over the properties and I don’t want my husband’s hard earned money to be misused by their greedy attitude. I don’t want a situation where this money will be used in an UNGODLY manner, hence the reason for taking this bold decision. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact information of the company.
God bless you.
Yours, Sincerely.
Mrs Rose. Robert.
