Davao province is the industrial centre of Mindanao, renowned for its pearl and banana exports. Davao City is one of the most progressive industrial cities in the country. The province is the site of Mount Apo, the highest peak in the country, while the Apo Range has spectacular waterfalls, rapids, forests, springs and mountain lakes. Maragaa Kiblawan Davao del Sur;
I can't forget the day when I was there in this place so called Maragaa, Kiblawan Davao del Sur. It is a nice and peaceful and a small baranggay in the province of Kiblawan.
We spent there for about one week. We had a lots of activities more on religious. I really enjoyed that time... but at the moment I have no picture that can show this page..hopefully next time.
I hope you enjoy reading this small intro of mine.
White Water Rafting
by kyukee
If you are more of the adventurous type then i recommend you try rafting at Davao River. The waves are much bigger, stronger and more challenging than the one found in Cagayan de Oro. A word of warning though, this is not for the weak at heart. But believe me..it's all worth it! Enjoy and welcome to Davao. Just wear light clothes all the safety gear will be provided for. You can't take pictures during the actual raft but you can take some in between breaks just make sure you place it in a secure bag.
Private Beach
by Iluv2surf2
We are fortunate enough to know someone that owns a private beach house. His name is Boy. My wife and her family worked for him at different times as she was growing up. He owns the bakery she worked at while in college. He owns six bakeries in Davao. He also owns a tire/rubber factory/plant, farms, and raises horses. I believe he's also well connected politically. He's a kind and generous man.
Boy is also an entertainer. He has a band that plays 1950's & 60's music. They're not bad. They were doing a private jam session the night we were there and I have to tell you, they're not bad. I really enjoyed their selection of music.
Boy served as a nino at our wedding. He had offered his beach house for us to use our last visit, but we were unable to because we were shcheuled to tightly.
Davao's Finest
by Iluv2surf2 about Dencia's Restaurant
For the finest in elegant white table cloth dinning, Dencia's is the destination you'll be glad you experienced. This restaurant will apeal to both locals, Filipinas and those of us from the Western world. The foods will appeal to almost anyone, and have a strong appeal to the locals.
The service is excellent. The staff is friendly and helpful. They strive to accomodate even very large groups of people without a reservation. Tipping is NOT allowed. Try the lumpia shanghai (which is really unique), fried chicken, Canton chopped suey, and pork adobo are fabulous! They even have diet coke!
Chicken
by Iluv2surf2 about Inasal Chicken
For the most part the athmosphere is not unlike other quick service eateries fouind in malls or as stand alone units in the Philippines or in the USA. One difference is that they offer unlimited rice with your meal and there is always someone roaming about and weaving in and out of the seats and ever shifting crowd to offer you an extra scoop or two of rice.
The tables are a little smaller than what we would usually experience here, but despite the more compact size of the dining area their food packs a pretty big punch with flavor, quantity and most importantly QUALITY.
This was unique. As I paid for our lunch one day (I was using cash) I didn't have the right change and they didn't have the right combination of cash to give me my change. The girl at the register wrote on my reciept that they owed me a certain amount of change. I'd never experienced that before. Anyhow, after we ate I went back to the register and they gave me my change with no questions. This small chain has some of the best chicken I've had anywhere. It has what I would describe as the perfect smoked flavor.
They have a soup Beef Sinagang that has become my favorite soup. This tangy soup really explodes with a unique flavor. If I were going to have a meal catered from all of my favorite restautrants in Davao, Insal would provide both chicken and this beef sinigang soup.
