Davao is famous for its Mt. Apo as the Philippines' highest peak; Durian as the king of fruits(of which some tagged to be "smells like hell but taste like heaven"); and Waling-waling as the queen of orchids. It is also a haven of the awesome Philippine Eagle as the national bird.The bountiful harvest of flowers, fruits and its ethnic culture gave birth to a "Kadayawan Festival" as the folks of Davao's thanksgiving celebration for the abundance of it all. The festivity is held every month of August (every 3rd week of August) as a long week celebration of the lumads of Davao. Kadayawan festival showcases a lot of performances by the Davaoenos including float parade and "Katutubo" dance contest as one of the highlights of the event while wearing their colorful native costume.

I'd love to visit Davao someday even if I'm not really into the durian. Hehehe I've heard a lot of nice things about the place from friends and from a neighbor who has since moved back to Davao.
Mari,
sana ma-try mo yung ideal na flavor talaga ng durian..di kolang sure if you'll get to like it esp. the smell of it...ang alam ko nababahoan ang mga manilenyo sa amoy nito.hehe! my first taste of durian was of mixed impression, di ko makuha ang uri ng lasa but then the next time around, aba sumasarap na sya sa panlasa ko. yan yung sabi nila eh, you'll get to love the taste of durian kung uulit-ulitin mo at tiyak daw eh hahahanap hanapin mo!haha! di naman ako durian addict..but i like the taste of it.
