Wow Davao!

I have been to the different places in the Philippines, practically from A (as in Abra) to Z ( as in Zamboanga). I have conquered mountains, explored caves, photographed peoples and swam our seas. But still, I have to point out out: Davao remains the best place in the Philippines.

Maraming dahilan why many people like Davao. As varied as the reasons and factors may be, still they all summed up to one thing- quality of life: The air is fresh. The city is clean and green. There is real abundance of the freshest harvests from the land and sea. To top it all, the quality of potable water is among the best in the world.


There are many restaurants in Davao that serve unforgettable so-tu-kil (sugba, tula, kilaw) dishes. Marami pang mga eat all you can na pwede mong puntahan!!!

***


Crocodile Park is one of the most visited parks in the city.

***


If you go to Davao, do not forget to visit the eagle parks. Medyo malayo nga lang sa city, but the visit to Malagos Garden is worth it.

***


Visit also the Pink Sisters at the Seminary Road, Catalunan Grande. That is only ten minute taxi ride from downtown.

***


Opposite the Pink Sisters is the SVD Formation House at the Skyline Road, Catalunan Grande.

***


The Shrine of the Holy Infant Jesus of Prague is situated atop Davao’s Matina Hills, where one can enjoy a panoramic view of the city’s sprawling landscape and the other sights to be seen within and beyond it. This place is also good for pilgrimage and worship as the elevation of the terrain has made the shrine serene and tranquil.

***


Eden Garden resort is located in Toril, Davao city, it is about 10 hectares of forest land which have been turned into a mini garden, forest park. In this place you cannot fail not to appreciate the beauty of the flowers EVERYWHERE. There are all types of orchids found in Eden, in fact, the place very much lives up to it’s name.

***


Pearl Farm Resort lies in a secluded island off the coast of Davao city. This 11-hectare spread was once a pearl farm, where thousands of white-lipped oysters, transported from the Sulu Sea, were cultivated for their pink, white and gold pearls.

***


The houses here in Pearl Farm are patterned after the stilt houses of seafaring Samal tribes of the Sulu archipelago.

Davao -- a sight to behold!!!

Gift from the Olutanga Sea

Location: Calais, Olutanga, Zamboanga Sibugay

"Manginhas" is a Bisayan term which means to go into the shoreline when it is low tide to catch anything to eat. Olutanga is one island blest with the bounties of the sea. In that one sunny low tide when I joined the local folks, I was deeply impressed not only by the enchanting beauty of the island, but also of the great catch we all shared at the end of the day.

The Kabugan Island of Olutanga

Location: Calais, Olutanga, Zamboanga Sibugay

Kabugan Island is one of the many famous islands in Olutanga Island. "Kabugan" comes from the word "kabug" which means "bat". From the word itself, you will not wonder why bats are in the area. The island's name speaks already for itself. Thousands of bats congregate in this part of the world in broad daylight. They are a lovely sight. Unfortunately, this place has not yet been declared a bat sanctuary.
