San Pedro Cathedral San Pedro Street ,  Davao City, Mindanao,  Philippines The church is in front of the municipal hall and is within walking distance from the Osmeña Park. The church was being cleaned when I visited. It's spacious and cool inside, despite the heat outside the church. It's accessible because it's along a major road.
