There are many compelling reasons why people choose Davao over any other place in thing-
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.
Starting life in Davao is easy, convenient, affordable, and fulfilling. Real-estate prices are easy on
the pocket. There is a wide array of housing packages from low-cost to prime residential estates.
Rentals are inexpensive. Electricity, water, and phone lines are readily available.
The City is being primed up to serve as the health and medical care center of the East ASEAN
Growth Area (EAGA). The city is host to 39 schools (universities and technical colleges) offering a
system of education that is at par with the best in the region.
From the most basic needs to life’s little pleasures, the City’s shopping scene has become more
vibrant with the sprouting of big malls that provide enjoyable shopping experiences and offer
more value for money.
Buses and jeeps provide a cheap land transportation alternative as well as a quick look to the life
of the common people. Most residents prefer riding taxis or their own vehicles. The city is blessed
to have the most courteous and honest taxi drivers in the country.
International Community
As Davao is being geared up to become a better retirement haven in this part of the region, more
and more people from all over the globe have started finding their respective places in the city.
With a bigger space to accommodate more people than other cities in the region, there certainly
is a place within the city ready to welcome new members of the Davao community.
Before WWII broke out, Davao is already a melting pot of Asia with nationals from India,
Indonesia, Malaysia, China, and Japan doing business at first with the locals but eventually
decided to stay for good and consider it a home. There was even a period when the place was
called the “Little Tokyo” of the Philippines because of the presence of hundreds of Japanese
workers who have migrated to the City at the height of the massive production of abaca fiber.
Being a relatively peaceful place with a cosmopolitan setting that is relaxed, foreign nationals find
it easy to assimilate in a place that is generally appreciative and respectful of cultural uniqueness.
Ethnic groups in Davao include Americans, Koreans, Chinese, Japanese, Indians, Indonesians,
Malaysians, Australians, Germans, Italians, and other nationals from Europe and the Asia-Pacific
region.
Food and Dining
Davao dining offers a variety of culinary delights that will excite even the most discriminating
gourmet.
The freshness of ingredients harvested from the sea and the farms provides a fulfilling taste that
is distinctly Davao.
The city is known for its inihaw (grilled tuna) and kinilaw (local version of sashimi using tuna or
blue marlin strips).
There is a variety of dining destinations to whet your appetite and suit your mood. There are
restaurants offering a panoramic view of the Davao gulf. Others prefer a wider perspective of the
city by dining in an array of restaurants located on top of hills.
Delectable Ala Carte and smorgasbord at affordable prices can also be found in popular
restaurants, hotels, and cafes all over the metropolis. Chinese, Italian, Spanish, Japanese,
Korean and other cuisines are included in the menu of specialty restaurants.
Culture and Religions
Davao culture has assimilated influences from both hemispheres of the world. By and large, it is
a mix of Asian, Spanish and American cultures. With predominantly migrant population, the City is
a melting pot of cultures where diversities are well appreciated, respected, and nurtured in a
harmonious and peaceful environment.
Davaoeños are a versatile and talented people with music and other arts that are well
appreciated in the entire country. Folkdance rhythms and steps are unconventionally challenging
and entertaining.
Basketball is considered as a national sport. A Basketball court can be found in almost all
villages in the City. Chess is being played alongside a local board game called “Dama” in some
parks devoted for the mind game enthusiasts.
Major languages and dialects are Filipino (mainly derived from Tagalog) Cebuano, English.
The city is predominantly Christian with more than 80 percent of the population practicing the
Roman Catholic faith. Cathedrals, churches, and chapels of Catholics, Baptists, Methodists,
Pentecostals, and other Christian groups dot the city’s landscape.
Some born-again groups that have gained national or worldwide prominence are founded in
Davao City. Some international evangelists have stated that Davao is the spiritual capital of the
country. Due to a growing number of secular Christian groups, it is interesting to note that some
even conduct their worship services in places like cinemas and warehouses.
There are places of worship too for those practicing Islam, Buddhism and other faiths in Davao.
Bank and Other Financial Institutions
There are over 2,000 financial institutions operating in Davao City including over a hundred
branches of Philippine and international banks.
Some banks operate 7 days a week. Those inside big establishments such as malls operate 6
days a week (Mondays through Saturdays).
Added banking convenience is provided through numerous automated teller machines in
strategic places all over the metropolis as well as through other forms of electronic banking.
