Moments before the terminal of Cagayan de Misamis was demolished, the
street peddlers had evacuated from the site to Agora, where a larger, better, well equipt facility was constructed to erect a centralized terminal. The pines near the public theater had not cracked the flooring then, but the foundations of the old terminal cracked more than the usual since, a demolition team had battered it for two days and three hours. The old concrete, scattered in the surface of the earth, had covered the irregularities of the road and two days after, the asphalt that evened it, buried as well the memories of the old place, thus, the past was simply torn down in days and hours, that no one ever paid a simple regard, or care, or laid respect to the stories and trivialities of the place that was once the center of human activity in Cagayan de Misamis. The families who owned the eateries in the sidewalk opened their caserole every thirty minutes in disbelief, and the aromas that filled the interior of the utensils remained, contrary, as early as seven in usual days, people would race over for viand and it kept them busy unlike the day they sat and wondered how everything changed. Fifty years and almost seven months, when the old scene of eateries were covered with buildings that fairly earned well with business, the once busy corner near the old terminal had lost its meaning. It was a place frequented by policemen, and during the evening, the transformation became even more dramatic when the lights faded and new colors of the city emerge in the outskirt of unpredictability. It was just a simple corner of course, where the games of men and young women suddenly collide in an idiocy blindfolded by guilt. There were establishments close to that corner, and for reasons, visited by the famous personalities.
