      Dude, I was just there at building 5, first building on left once through the gate. Disappointing. Was tired, small and had ants. I left a daily later and came to Panglao.

    @BiggWorldCinema I was in the same hotel just a few months ago (September-October) the Hotel Galleria meets the basics and the pool is quite nice, didn't like the stairs though, I also stayed at the Crown Regency hotel for a slightly higher price but also a bit nicer with a larger pool and relaxation area. Also took me a little while to get used to the traffic but the park was nice and I went to the Crocodile park aswell, there is a lot to see around, some of the malls are worth walking around for food experiences, I moved on to a smaller city called Digos which has some charming little beaches and a slower pace. I for one will definitely be going back, most of the people are genuine, nice and welcoming, Best of luck in your travels and finding a condo!

    Hope you enjoy Davao. I've been here as a fellow brit 6 mths. Its seems more ordered and safer and cleaner than mnl or cebu. Athough locals seem more conservative and reserved. Not really a place for chasing girls or nightlife but good as a retirement destination. However Northpoint condo seems old and tired and less value for money compared to whats available elsewhere. Safe travels

    There's already a relatively built-up modern business park in the north, way past Abreeza, in Lanang DIstrict, in what is called Davao Park District. Around the SM Lanang Premiere Mall, the business park was developed by Megaworld, the developer of BGC Uptown. It's true, the city is spread-out
    Btw, there are lots of indigenous tribe people in Davao, you obviously interviewed a few of them in the park

    I can’t remember when it when it was like it was either 2018 or 2019 I was in Burham Thailand and every day that I was there they would play the national anthem at about 6 o’clock and everybody would just stop whatever they were doing and just stand there First time I was with a couple of friends and we were at a night market. It started getting dark already and it came over the loudspeaker system and just stopped and looking around Mr. stupid not realizing what’s going on, but I don’t remember them doing it the last time I was there.
