Davao Life is Here

Coming home.

Came to attend the PMA National Convention but it was also a homecoming experience. 

There are new places to visit in Davao but a visitor should never miss these three things:

1. The Philippine Eagle Foundation in Malagos and visit "Pag-asa". The PEF is world renowned because of the endangered species that was succesfully conserved by the PEF. Pag-asa was the first Philippine Eagle bred in captivity. I volunteered here when I was student.

2. Torres St. Fruit Stand and get a taste of native Davao Durian. Look for the variety of "Arancillo" being the most famous local variety named after a local farmer. If the Chanee variety is available, try is too.

3. Visit the religious places and give thanks. On a Sunday, there are places of worship you can go to. The San Pedro Cathedral is in downtown Davao and there are also four United Methodist Churches in the city. The Cathedral The United Methodist Church is along CM Recto Ave at the heart of the city. 

I grew up in this church. The church is known for the warm welcome of the members. There are two services in the morning. Starts at 8:30 am and 10:30 am. 

I was surprised that some of my colleagues missed their opportunity to experience the life in Davao.
