Davao City is known for a lot of things: the country's highest peak in Mt. Apo, the land of majestic eagles, the home of the first Mindanaoan president of the country, the mouth-watering durian, it's transformation from a troubled city to a rapidly developing urban metropolis, and a lot more.

It's been only less than 24 hours since I was gallivanting around Davao and it was my first time to be there. The pleasure of getting the chance to celebrate the vibrant beauty of Kadayawan Festival, and taking in the Mindanaoan culture, was really a blast and an experience that I will never forget.
