Scholarship Qualifying Practice Exam

This question tests your knowledge of Philippine city nicknames and which city is known as the City of Golden Friendship. Cagayan de Oro earned that title for its long-standing reputation for warm hospitality and as a regional hub where people from different communities come together in friendship. The term “golden” highlights the valued, lasting nature of those friendly ties, reflecting the city’s history of welcoming travelers, traders, and neighbors and fostering positive relations across Mindanao. The other cities are known by different nicknames—Davao City for its durian and status as a business center; Cebu City as the Queen City of the South; General Santos as the Tuna Capital—so the City of Golden Friendship specifically points to Cagayan de Oro.
