River of Gold)〔http://cagayandeoro.elizaga.net/Appendix/meaning-of-cagayan.html〕 can be traced back to the arrival of the Spanish Augustinian Recollect friars in 1622, the area around Himologan (now Huluga), was already known as "Cagayán". Early Spanish written documents in the 16th century already referred to the place as "Cagayán". The region of Northern Mindanao, which included Cagayan de Oro, was granted as ''Encomienda'' to a certain Don Juan Griego on January 25, 1571. It was then former Vice President of the Philippines Emmanuel Peláez who appended ''de Oro'' to ''Cagayan''. There are also other places in the Philippines with the Cagayan name; these include the province of Cagayan in northern Luzon and the Cagayan islands in the Sulu Sea. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cagayan de Oro」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
