Known for his Charismatic leadership, Pedong served three terms as Mayor of Mandaue City. His grandest achievement was the Mandaue Reclamation Project now known as a bustling business district of northern Metro Cebu.[3] His reclamation work parallel to Cebu City's North Reclamation Area expanded the city's land mass beyond the old coastline where the port in Tulay was. The completed reclamation area was touted by Ingko Pedong's son Thadeo, who succeeded him as mayor, as a future city within a city. Indeed, it is now bustling with economic activity. In a way, Cortes is reaping the economic windfall from the seed that the old Ouano planted. When I pass there, I could no longer picture the coastline that I knew in my youth.[4]
