My friend Kevin Olmedo of the Davao Reader shares this post about Davao...
Many things have been said about Davao
City. Despite being the only metro city of the south, the “durian capital” has
gained national, if not worldwide, recognition for being a model city with full
implementation of laws against smoking, over-speeding and firecrackers, just to
name a few. These are only some of the few things that makes the city
noteworthy. Well, you also have to give credit to the tourist destinations like
Samal Island which is just a 15-minute ferry ride from “Sasa”.
Samal offers
countless resorts and white sand beaches. Davao City in
itself provides urban living with shopping destinations, spas, countless
hotels, coffee shops and many more. Well if you like the night life, the city
has a liquor ban from 2:00 AM to 7:00 AM, last orders in bars are only
accommodated until 12 midnight. When the clock strikes 2AM all people leave the
bars like students ending their classes, literally!
