I've been to Davao many times already, my last visit here was 2 years ago. After two years, i come to again and i was really amazed. New malls such as ayala abreeza, sm lanang, robinsons and even sm ecoland does have new existing building. Added to that, crocodile park now does have lots of activities ypu can watch like butterfly sanctuary, k mindanwan cultural show which i have so much fun as well as my daughter. The dancers are very great!

I like davao. Except that it's hot and the transportation is lacking. Too much traffic too. The roads are still not good. Davao has lots of slums around especially in r castillo and the boulevard areas. Davao is getting polluted. The air is begining to smog and the dust pollution is high. Also the CENRO should improve the trash bins because they are no longer good looking and it pollutes the eyes of the people.

Davao is a great place to roam to and from. It is improving and developing. Its is fun in Davao, especially during Kadayawan Festivasl,where there are lots of festivities, like floral float, mutya ng Dabaw, dance competition, and other more. And if you want relaxation, there are lots of fine beaches and resort, especially those found at Samal, the Paradise Island, Blue Jazz, etc.

Safest city to live. People are peace loving, warm and friendly. Lots of malls to shop and stroll. Tourist destinations guarantee. Food, abundance of fruits and vegetables are very affordable. Fast phase in communications and transportation.

Davao is a very nice place to live in, it's very safe and worth to be missed. It is worth entertaining with different nice places to go and to enjoy. It is also a nice place to have a business and a good place to raise a family.

Kadayawan festival is the best. No one can beat the king of fruits. King Durian. The best way to explore davao is to travel on foot. Very conventional, very cheap, good for health and bawas pollution.
