The Beauty of DAKBAYAN SA DABAW

Davao City Hall
San Pedro Street, Davao City

The Old City Hall (formerly the Municipal Building) was constructed in 1926, some ten years before Davao finally became a city.Unveiled during the celebration of the Philippine Centennial in 1998, the monument depicts the peaceful relationship of the migrant and indigenous inhabitants of Davao in the last 100 year.

The Davao Rizal Park is the place where some government-financed bands held their concerts. It is also a gathering place for short meetings of government staffs and where the “way kurat” (fearless) former Mayor (now Vice-Mayor) Rodrigo Duterte speaks to the public about different city concerns. 

The City Hall of Davao or the city's Municipal Building is where the Office of the Local Executive is located. It was constructed in 1926, ten years before Davao finally became a city in March 16, 1936. It is located along San Pedro Street, one of the oldest streets in Davao City.

The Sangguniang Panglungsod ng Dabaw or the Legislative Building houses the Local Council of Davao where regular council sessions are held. It is situated right across San Pedro Cathedral at the corners of Bolton and San Pedro Streets. 

Unveiled during the celebration of the Philippine Centennial in 1998, the Commemorative Monument of Peace and Unity, which is situated right across the Sangguniang Panglungsod ng Dabaw, depicts the peaceful relationship of the migrant and indigenous inhabitants of Davao in the last 100 years. It bears the official logo of the city and a replica of the Philippine Eagle on the facade.


As one of the third of the most populous city in the Philippines and the most populuos in Mindanao , I can really wonder if what this city have and why did most of the people absolutely loved to live in Davao. This blog contain all my memories and the moments I really did treasure about Davao City ,and how  the wonder I did before turns into an experience that I will always remember and worth to explore.
