13 Years of Service – Whitewater Rafting CDO (KAGAY OUTDOORS).
Today, we pause not just to acknowledge years of service, but to honor a person whose presence has quietly but powerfully shaped the Whitewater Rafting CDO experience for over a decade.
Gerome Yañez has been with us for 13 years — not only as our official photographer, but as a constant presence, capturing the heart and soul of what we do here at Whitewater Rafting Cagayan De Oro.
Behind every unforgettable rafting photo — the laughter, the fear, the triumph — is Gerome, camera in hand, eyes focused, heart fully present. While the rest of us rode the waves, he stood steady, preserving moments that would otherwise be lost to time.
But more than just a photographer, Gerome has been a storyteller, a quiet guardian of memories, and a steady hand through years of change. His work has allowed our guests to relive their adventures, and for many, those photographs are more than souvenirs — they are treasured reminders of courage, friendship, and joy.
Gerome, your dedication, your humility, and your passion do not go unnoticed. You've worked through heat, rain, and long days — not for recognition, but because you care. You care about the craft, about the people, and about capturing something real.
On behalf of the entire WhiteWater Rafting CDO family and the thousands of hearts you’ve touched through your lens — thank you. Thank you for being part of this journey, for giving so much of yourself, and for showing us that sometimes, the people behind the scenes are the ones who truly make the magic happen.
We are proud to stand beside you today, to honor your 13 years of service, and to celebrate not just your work — but the kind, dedicated person you are.
Here’s to you, Gerome — and to many more years of moments only you can capture.
