There are places i remember...in my life..though some have changed*
Davao..my homeland
The city of Davao,considered one of the largest in the world in terms of land area,is all of 244,000 hectares.It belongs to the southern Mindanao Region,which is composed of the provinces of Davao del norte(now Davao Province)Davao Oriental,Davao del Sur,South Cotabato and the chartered cities of Davao and General Santos.The warm waters of Davao Gulf lap the eastern shores.
Davao city is home to more or less a million people of different origins.Some come from as far as Ilocos in Northern Philippines;others are visayan settlers;still others belongs to indigenous tribes.Cebuano is the main dialect,but english and Tagalog are widely understood and spoken.
Our Geography and Climate.The predominant terrain of the region is mountainous.Davao City and its outskirts are marked with rolling hills sloping down fertile valleys.Mountain ranges straddle the rest of the countryside.Located in a sheltered groove on the southeastern tip of Mindanao,Davao enjoys good climate year-round and is practically free from typhoons.
