PROGRESS WATCH: Metro Cagayan de Oro and Northern Mindanao

The Northern Mindanao Medical Center (NMMC) in Cagayan de Oro City is currently constructing a new 8-storey Trauma and Multi-Specialty Center Building. During the recent Kapihan sa Bagong Pilipinas event, NMMC Medical Director Dr. Jose Chan disclosed that the project is in its initial phase, which has a budget of P500 million. This phase involves the demolition of the existing 4-storey main hospital building and the construction of a new building from the basement up to the third floor.

As shown below, Phase 2 (2025-2027) costing P998.3 million covers construction up to the 8th floor while Phase 3 (2027-2028) completes the building up to the roof deck.

The project contractor is a joint venture of DL Cervantes Construction Corporation and Junjing Construction and General Merchandise at a cost of P474.9 million. Here’s a screenshot of a portion of the contract agreement.
