For those of us who were born in this place, we are fiercely proud of our city and call this a haven. Thanks for writing about Davao and its secret formula to foreigners.

SM City Davao has free wifi.maybe when he bought durian it was not peak season. and normally the price is a bit higher.

It’s true. there seems to be a Chinatown in every city around the world! And usually it’s the place to find tasty, cheap food.

To shotgunchick I think the restrauant in the hills you are talking about is Jack’s Ridge. I was in Davao City this past April for 2 weeks visiting my finacee and her family and we all had lunch there. What a Beautiful view of the city and the bay, it’s a very livable city because of the hospitality and laid back atmosphere. I only regret not finding out about Mindinao Bob before my trip there I would love to have met him!

Hail Davao! I have been to the place and I agree with you, the whole city just seem to function well without the rush. And the Davao may not be as expensive as my favorite Keswick Hotels, but they can hold up to their own.

Davao in one of the best city in the Philippines. Unlike Manila, Davao has less pollution yet it is a highly commercialized city. People in Davao are very accommodating and like you’ve said, there so many foreigners there nowadays. But still i want to go there again. Thanks for the post!

Wow it has really grown. I was there 10 years ago and I was literally the only foreign female I had encountered. A great city in an amazing country.

-shotgunchick- Well you certainly know Davao better than me It’s definitely a different breed of city within the Philippines. And, seems, quite well run compared to many other places. Many people give a thumbs up to the administration here, so that’s a first!

Can’t really comment on the party places, as it’s not on my agenda. Though talking to others, the place is still filled with them. Likewise coffee places, and cafe’s. Though for anyone coming here, it’s really not a resort city! Far from it. It’s more a come and live here city.

-Eli- There’s actually not that much to do here in terms of SEA activities. At least none that compare say to Palawan for diving or Sagada for caving mountains etc. Davao is more a laid back city compared to the rest here. Not saying it’s not worth visiting, it just depends on what you are looking for.

-jessiev- Some of the best are!

-floreta- For long term living, it definitely rates high. For lots to do … not so sure.

-ciki- No easy to find free WIFI is a serious problem here. Davao tourisim or a local business needs to look into this. And to any guest-house listening, I don’t mean a 40kb drop in or out connection! It’s a good reason to move out, rather than get people to move in!
