WHY I LOVE DAVAO CITY

Davao City is the biggest city in the Philippines in terms of area, population and commercial trading. 

Davao hosts the most number of first class resorts in the country, serving as a major attraction to visitors and businessmen from within the region and elsewhere. A safe haven in Mindanao, and a melting pot for all culture that despite the differences among its people, they live together in peace and harmony.

Davao City is famous for its peace and order. Tourists get to enjoy safe rides with taxi drivers and residents feel safe knowing that the city is well protected.

For me, Davao City cannot be compared to other cities especially when it comes to the governance. The peacefulness and people, it’s really far different cities in the world.
