travel books sing
hymns of praise to the
beauty of Davao. The
peace and discipline
of its people and their
desire to live in a
crime-free environment
has become the envy
of many. Amidst
the backdrop of the
majestic Mount Apo, its
famous orchids, famed
fruits, and world-
famous resorts, Davao
is the idea of a modern-
day paradise.
There;s something
magical about Davao
that one falls for. It
caters to all. Its strategic
location can be a drop
off point to Mindanaoís
great hideaways. Its
boundless energy,
grand surroundings,
fabled mountains
and enticing fruits
has indeed open
up a whole new
sensorial experience;
a love affair with a city
that captivates as it
enthralls.
