Ozamiz City, Misamis Occidental, Philippines

Ozamiz City is nestled at the entrance of the rich Panguil Bay in Northwestern Mindanao with an estimated land area of 16,407 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 separate it from its twin city of Cagayan de Oro; on the south by the City of Tangub; and the Municipality of Don Victoriano on the west; Like many of the towns and cities of Misamis Occidental, it is straddled along the coast of Panguil Bay partly because of its extremely rugged terrain of the interior and its commercial activities which center around the coastal areas.
