The fact that we didn't encounter any homeless person in our extended stay was a mystery to me. Even in a decade, Manila will be forever lagging behind.
@@alice_agogo What do you mean by your statement? Of course, Manila is expected to be more industrialized than Davao since it is the capital. Btw, Davao City is different from Davao region.
Taga davao city ako dong at mali ang sinabi mo tungkol sa ciudad. Anong leagues better than Manila? Wala ka kuyapi. Claveria street lang ang inayos. The rest of the streets are the same. Walang bagong building sa downtown esp San Pedro. Masikip pa rin ang daan. Mabuti pa ang Panabo at Tagum. Maluwag ang mga hi way nila.
Davao is eyeing to go underground wires in the Central Areas in the next few years. Obviously, the City can't do it in one time big time because it can bring inconvenience to people, from digging trenches to the removal of posts, and it can cause traffic. Another is it's too expensive to build underground facilities, but the City invested in it. Regarding parks. The City is building more parks! Especially those idle lots (either City owned or Donated ones, are currently building it to provide more open and public spaces for the Davaoenos. The coastal road, the Davao River Esplanade, and the ongoing Bus Transportation System will eventually replace all old and antiquated jeepneys. Davao in 5-10 years will be more livable. Thanks to the steady and responsive City leadership and to the cooperation of all Davaoenos.
Hopefully all places in the Philippines would do the same with the underground wiring someday. Since subways will be built someday here in Manila as well
@@tributagabawa5746 I said in the central areas. That means the entirety of it. As of now, clearly only San Pedro St., Claveria, portion of Magallanes, on going is portion of Uyanguren. Clear po?
Davao is really a good example of what happens when people obey and respect the law. Although I commend the officials for their effort, the one that needs bigger commendations would be the Davaoenos. Like, if they've complained and go against anything new, in which they can, then the Davao we see today would've never existed. Even my aunt who came from the US said that Davao is just much better than Cebu and Manila when it comes to a lot of things, you feel safe and the food, especially the fruits are delicious.
This is what happens to a city where the local government officials are not corrupt and do serve the people sincerely, and the residents abide by the law because they have high respect for the officials and great love for the city. 💚
Davao City seems underrated. Not many knew about it. Whenever someone hears the word 'Philippines,' their minds would automatically think Manila or Cebu, something like that. It looks much tidier now compared to before. Davao is pretty organized. You don't have to worry with encountering bad drivers (I guess there's lesser of them now) or pickpocketers or addicts just loitering around the streets. Projects like these are obviously pretty expensive, but this benefits a whole lot of people. Anyway, thank you for this video.
Actually, there are many tourists coming here mostly business people.... Cebu City has 2.2million tourists while Davao City has 1.8million... Davao is not far behind considering it is the farthest and in Mindanao...
Nah... Rules and regulations are implemented and it's there as law itself but the discipline of both enforcers and constituents really makes a big difference. It will always come down on discipline and doing the right thing even though life is hard and barely meeting living necessity is on the line and breathing down on your neck.
@@tommydaniels1805 Corruption is at the heart of every public official and even down right on enforcer because it is the norm here in Manila. I dare say everyone because every public official is guilty of such even the smallest things. Bypassing the law is rampant even if you're a normal citizen, you'll be surprised how easily law can be undermined by the one who holds power even though in a small degree. If you're a law abiding citizen here in Manila, you hold no power. That's the truth and you can see it just like that. Law and monetary budget is here for the people but the reality it's only for the one holding it first. It will be given by the nation like a tub of water and when it comes down to normal citizens like us, a drop will only reach.

You're right. Everyone should expect a high quality of life. And you just showed it can be done. The politicians need to have the courage to put their career on the line and push for improvements. Nice video. I like what you're doing.
Despite of all the negatives in the country, you never fail to show us its good sides and all the improvements that will inspire more Filipinos to become responsible members of society. I think the government should allow good foreigners like you to have a filipino citizenship. You deserve it. Keep up the great work man!
Thank you for visiting Davao. PUJs will be replaced by city buses soon. This will be under the city's high-priority bus system project, and like the underground cabling project, its implementation will be in phases. Hopefully, by next year 500 buses will be deployed around the city.

Davao pa rin is still in a different level compare to Manila. I still remember my last visit in 2019, when Im asking for direction to the crocodile park, the people Davao always telling me na " Mag taxi ka na lang, di naman to katulad ng Maynila di ka lolokohin dito"
Dude, Davao City is 3-4 times bigger that the whole of NCR. Manila is just a cute little city in terms of land area. Crocodile Park is located in an area where no public transport is available mainly because it is situated inside a private space. So malamang ang isasagot sa iyo is mag taxi ka nalang for your own sake.
this shows how a strong leadersuip should be..everybody is following rules, it may be tough but they know it is for a good cause...im so jealous of davao...hope this will implement to all parts of phils
There's a strict rule in Davao that if you don't wear a helmet and get into an accident you won't receive help from Lingap and the CSWDO in LGU. And there's a Traffic Enforcers in almost every crossings so that's few of the reasons.
One word.. discipline /ˈdɪsɪplɪn/ noun 1. the practice of training people to obey rules or a code of behaviour, using punishment to correct disobedience.
@@joeabad5908 it's not just discipline, the governance of Davao is very different, it's strict. PRRD is a socialist and a pan asianist different mindset to that of other leaders who want to privatize everything.
Clean environment, agree ako pero less traffic??? Hahahha jusko matagal ng problema yan dito sa Davao senior high pa ako hanggang ngayon college na ganon pa din. Sobrang lumala na traffic ngayon tas hirap pa mag-commute. Just stating the facts.
@@k-studio8112 matagal naman sana maayos ang problema na yan kung nag daang Presidente umayos ay kumilos Tapos sasabihin mo eh bakit hindi nagawa ni dating President Duterte?.

Thanks for your honest observation about Davao. The things that you've noticed makes Davao unique and different. Hope you stay in Davao longer to enjoy its hospitality, abundant fruits, and some places of interest. Life is Here - DAVAO!
Damn. Imagine the mayor who did this to a city in Mindanao is being cancelled by the people in Luzon. Track record must be your basis when choosing a public official.
I hope the pipes they used are durable to be able to withstand earthquakes and flooding so it may last for the long term! Salute to Davao and to you sir for sharing with us this wonderful project of Davao!
This is the kind of Local government I wanted. I hope all parts of Philippines is open minded for a change and improvements. Thanks again for showing tis City Davao.
Hello. Gadget Addict. I remember I was there December 2013 when Tacloban city was hit by typhoon Yolanda. I stayed there around 4 months before going back to Tacloban city. Very nice place.
This is a great vlog I really hope this would impact on the cities of Manila, so please brother try your best to atleast show this to the rest of the managing group of the MMDA and if possible to the Mayor of Manila itself, big thanks to you bro. And more power to your channel👍
For me, the majority of my videos show something good in the Philippines. Why? Because they show what's being done to FIX the problems that exist. Instead of pretending they don't exist.
How can you fix something when you don't even acknowledge/realize it? Pretending it doesn't exist is worse. GA's videos are all about showing the problems and ways to fix them.
@@williammaverick He doesn't show ways to fix them. It is the same old story. Give them a ticket for a violations and they keep doing it. Fixing it involves tougher consequences to motivate them to not do it again
@@ian74747 too many LGUs din isang problema sa maynila. Ang daming mayors na puro magagaling ang daming ganap kaya walang nangyayari jan. Sa davao nag iisa lang nag mayor. Singleminded ang implementation pag may malalaking projects. Jan kasi kelangan pang hilot hilotin lahat ng mayor. Lol
I understand that redevelopment is way more complicated than having empty land and building up but it’s super cool to see Davao City striving for better
Yes this is my city Davao City. I miss our place talaga pinas it's very clean and wires were already gone. Instead they put wires underground. Watching u from Cairo, Egypt originally from Davao City the Philippines. 💖🇵🇭🇪🇬
Thank you Gadget addict for showing us Davao. The place is really an example that we Filipinos still have the hope and chance to change. Davao shows us that a disciplined place would create a very good vibe and create positivity among its constituents. Mabuhay ang DAVAO.

Disciplined leaders rolling down to disciplined constituents & companies. TRuly a model city that can be emulated by the whole country especially Manila if only... I hope the Metro Manila LGUs, MMDA continue their work religiously to educate the public. Because of your nice vlog I will visit Davao soon. Thanks man for continously posting these kinds of topics to top-up our knowledge
Thanks GA. Everything you said was right on. My experience there in 2013 led me to believe that any city in the world, with the right leadership and willingness of people to change for the better can be a model city. Keep up the good work.
Sir, thank you for this video. The strong leadership and political will of the LGU in Davao explains why their former mayor became the President of the Philippines. He is loved by many because most of us desire and need change in the entire country.
@@alice_agogo because Davao is still a agriculture city.. The Downtown still in progress u have to understand Cebu had been a city since Spanish Era.. While Davao only established from progress late 90's
@@alice_agogo Lol Cebu has so many snatchers. My classmate was one of the victims when we went there during our fieldtrip. I'd chose safety over disaster.
@@packohub1145 Not to mention Cebu City is the oldest and first ever city in our country, so people comparing Cebu to other cities is pure stupidity haha.
I have been to Davao many times it is so peaceful and organized, When I got to the airport, when I got into the taxi, I noticed that they were taking the passenger's name. I asked the person what it was for. And they said it is for the safety of the passenger. In case of an emergency, accident, or incident they have a record. 😊👍
I wasn't aware Davao City government has ventured into and has been implementing this project til watching this. It surely does make a big difference. Also, wearing helmets, use of dash cams simply makes sense and is good practice. Metro Manila municipalities can learn a lot from Davao City gov't if they wanted to... Thanks for sharing. 👍
*DUTERTE* and of course the *Davaoeños!* If only the Philippines had been under a Federal type of government, provinces like Davao and Cebu have long been world class cities. What you see here is the perfect result of a province deprived of funding from the national government for 37+ years.
Underground systems are protected from strong winds and falling trees. They also look better aesthetically. However, buried lines are susceptible to water, earthquake and excavation damage, and can take longer to repair because the damaged area is usually more difficult to locate
They can just stay with the overhead line installations and all they have to do is rationalize the overhead lines and get rid of those that are not used anymore and follow elcetrical codes. If you think about it, all the posts need to have is just the 3 phases and an overhead ground wire for the high tensions wire and the two or three lines for the low voltage (220v). And those telecoms and fiber optics should be replaced with trunklines and not single lines - this is just the telecom companies being lazy and not following the codes.
We've had underground everything (including trains) for a very long time (electricity over 100 yrs) Water damage even in flooding areas has never been an issue. Repair and replacement is easy because of manholes. Telephones were forever being cut off by storms and vehicles crashing into poles before they went underground in the late 20th century. Earthquakes have less effect on underground cables than cables on poles and the sides of buildings.
Even if the buildings are old and low-rise, it can still look like a city from the 1st world when no messy wires and streets are clean. I hope other cities will follow.
Philippines is a 1st world country, all the All Allied nations are 1st world countries. Second World: Eastern Bloc led by the USSR, the Warsaw Pact, China and their allies and Third World: Non-Aligned Movement (led by India and Yugoslavia) and other neutral countries. If you're talking about the diffrence between developing and developed then yeah, Davao does look like a developed country's city in terms of cleanliness and orderliness.
"1st world" should not be used to measure the development of countries. "1st world countries" is the term used in the countries that are allied to U.S.A. The proper terms are developing or developed countries.
@LeeFromAsia You have got to be smoking some serious shabu if you think Philippines is a 1st world country, it is not even considered a 2nd world. There is a reason why the Filipinos are ranked 2nd and 3rd visible minorities in the west...usually below India and China and it is not because there are 1 billion Filipinos in Philippines, it is the LACK of opportunity and the LOW income in the country. Instead of trying to glorify Philippines, why not be honest and criticize its flaws so they can be corrected? You do realize that doctors in the Philippines make less than mcdonalds servers here in Canada right? This is precisely the reason why there are so many Filipinos here in Canada. You can work at a warehouse here for a really shitty wage and still make more than lawyers and doctors in Philippines.
@@alphanation368 You must be eating crack laced with human feces. You aren't even using the correct terms. The three worlds are political terms on who is allied with who during the cold war. The correct terms are "developed" and "developing" counties.
the improvements in Davao came into realization even before FPRRD became the president. And during his 6 terms in presidency, he insisted to put Davao City at the very bottom of the queue in terms of development. This just show how progressive the city was even back then and is still progressing up until this moment.
Another thing about everyone wearing helmet is because of the “no helmet, no lingap” policy. Basically means if you get into an accident while not wearing a helmet then don’t expect any assistance from the LGU. Also enforcers there have speed guns. I just got a ticket last December, driving 51 on a 40 😅
Hontiviruz, kung nababasa mo to! Ito ang totoong maayos na community, walang satsat at puro actions sila dito! Kaya maayos, malinis, at magandanl ang Davao!
Good video I always like watching ur videos very informative and it keeps me updated on what’s going on out there cause I’m getting ready to move out there soon 👍
Davao's really been stepping up to be a model city. I hope officials from other cities follow the improvements they have undertaken. If anything, it can be done.
The biggest asset of a governed place is its people. If the people are disciplined and all of them obey the law, the place and its government will flourish and everyone will be blessed.
Hello, G.A., I am from Davao and yes it is actually good here but could you also do some videos here where there are still things that needs to be done (i.e. uneven roads, road repairs that are not done properly, and the heavy traffic and difficult commute hours during rush hours in the evening). I am not suggesting these to do backlash on the credibility of the progress here in Davao and I am actually proud of those but there are still lots of issues in infrastructures here especially in terms of road conditions and I believe you're platform will help the city see more and serve the people of Davao and our visitors better. Thanks G.A. Ps. If you would want to see what i meant of poor road conditions, drive or ride around the vicinity of Sasa, Panacan, Tibungco areas (near-northbound from airport) and Matina and Maa traffics (going southbound)
I feel like if a city in Metro Manila does the same thing, even with thousands of complaints and negativity, a lot of people would change their minds about it and would probably wish the same thing to be done on their city.
Hi gadget.i was part of a team that installed underground power cables in makati and bgc many years ago... but in some parts of manila its going to be challenging considering the flodd history of the place. But it's doable.
My dude's underground cable po ay waterproof, even the junction box is fully protected. IP- 67 or 68 compliant, ibig sabihin kahit po bumagyo,yelo or extreme weather wala po problema. Politiko lang po talaga ang palagay ko humaharang sa anong reason we don't know.
@@novus310 Before the underground cabling commenced in Davao city, they have implemented citywide drainage overhaul at least 7 to 10 years ago which reduced flooding incidences in the major thoroughfare of downtown Davao. Underground cabling have many layers of insulation. However, it will be ill-advised to randomly implement it. Fixing drainage and flooding issue is one huge insulation layer afterall
Waaa! You're actually in my city. We do have some of the same problems that you encounter in Manila, eg illegal parking, loading/unloading in restricted areas. As proud as I am there is still a lot of room for improvement.
Grabe, its so beautiful. It will take many years for my city to become like this, I'm here in calabarzon and i think it will take forever for our city to improve.
Davao looks beautiful because of this. If only Cebu City would do the same and if they could fix their terrible sidewalk issues, then they would become Singapore like.
Voting Rama, Garcia or another Osmena clan won’t improve Cebu at all. You need strong leadership who thinks outside the box and doesn’t corrupt with funding for infrastructure like this.
Great to see people talk abot this - I also am disgusted by overhead cabling. We still have it in many older areas of Sydney Australia, such an eyesore and looks like the area is more primitive and the suburb 'gerry rigged'. I grew up in a nice area with none of this and it hurts the eyes and soul to see it. Hopefully this trend continues.
If we try to do the same thing here in NCR, you'll have some "concerned", "well-educated", "decent", "empathetic" and "compassionate" brats, journos, and politicians criticizing you for being "a threat to democracy" or "anti-poor". Lol.
Rodrigo Duterte mentioned it before. Its possible but the oligarch are always on his way. Not to mention they have relatives inside the office. I am looking at you, Aquino.
Meron talagang mga pinoy na ina undermine ang achievement ng Davao... kesho hindi daw lahat ng Davao wireless. Well off course if these people can just use their head with logic for a second, it takes more than a year just to complete a single phase of putting the wires underground.... it needs to undergo complicated engineering procedures to accomplish everything... since its already phase 2 excluding the pilot projects last 2016... the entire phases under the city ordinance will be completed by 2029 at more than 6 kms of wireless streets. So, if ever Metro Manila or other places in the Philippines will start putting their wires underground this 2023.... parang aabotan kayo ng 2040 and beyond just to bury few kilometers of wires.... meanwhile Davao City already has a huge headstart and leaving other cities in the dust....
Nasanay sila sa puro plano lang eh. Hahaha kaya di mo rin sila masisisi na hindi na nila umaasa ng pagbabago o yung expectation nila ay mababa na kasi sobrang haba ng panahon walang pagbabago lugar nila eh (sa mga poor areas), stagnant lang mga streets dun. Lagi may mga vendor sa mga streets, masikip dumaan kasi may kumakain sa tabi, basura nasa mga tabi lng, daming bata nakakalat sa mga daan, spaghetti wires, etc. Nasanay sa halfway2 projects lang. Ngayon ay hindi pa rin sila makapaniwala sa pagbabago ng Davao nitong mga nakaraang panahon, nandun parin yung duda talaga. Hahaha. Nasa isip nila, "sa umpisa lang yan, di rin yan matatapos o magagawa lahat" or "maganda lang ang davao pero sa ibang economic aspect bagsak". Excuse me kahit anong city data ranking mostly nasa top 10 ang Davao City. Ma-crime rate man yan, Economy ranking.
@@darkboard5556 Oo, nasanay na din siguro ng matagal kaya di na rin sila umaasa ng pagbabago. Kaya sobrang happy din yung nasa pwesto sa kanila na sakto lang ginagawa o minsan wala talaga.

I do praise Davao's people and the local government here, but that is also both the reason why it works in Davao and why it wont work here in Luzon, in particular Manila and its greater areas. Lets be honest. Each district of Manila will have a field day of putting blame on the national government for not doing something like this in Manila, but these same people will also raise an issue if said improvements gave them even a little bit of inconvenience. "Educated" people would be the first to say something about it, most specially if they don't like the government officials proposing it even if it can benefit everyone. On the other hand, if the said officials are who they like and think as "Educated" and has "Merit", even if there's clear evidence that an idea or what they say is, to be blunt - idiotic, they will defend said person and will insist on "Educating" other people just to prove their point, even if they're wrong. Not to say this scenario can't go the other way, but in general, the issue here is with the people in Manila. In order to do this kind of project, people in Manila and it's surroundings need to cooperate - which is a monumental task in itself. If Manila's population is decrease by half, including all its surroundings, then there's a possibility it will work for Manila, provided the people remaining observe the law and willing to make willing to make sacrifices. Thene there's also the need to have actual competent civil workers and leaders and most of all competent Local Government officials to handle such projects. Since the National Government can provide the support but the local government handles everything from planing to execution. So yeah, this is an almost an impossible task to do in manila given the many factors the region has.
@@darkboard5556 I'm just saying the truth though. Manila could be a live version of Gotham City. But I'm not saying that manila is the most depressing city in the world - on contrary it's not and there are other cities more depressing and actually more unruly and unsafe in the world. Filipinos, most specially those who are thinking they're the "Educated" elite and doesn't give a real dime about us local masses think that our problems are the worst in the world and tend to blame everything they see to someone. I hate to say this but the western type of thinking and idolization of western culture tend to make such mindsets. It's like an infestation of "Karens/Kens/Kevins/Kyles", although to be honest it's much less compared in the US. But still, Manila is fucked. Davao has less western influence in it thus the discipline and patience of the people there are much high. Bonus is that they do have competent leaders there, that are actually disciplinarians as well. Compared that to Manila who is a cesspool of western ideology, with all the so called higher education - It doesn't gave the same results as a province like Davao. Says a LOT about one should actually perceive who are the actual civilized and "Educated" people are.
@@shinryuzero when the infrastructure projects undergoing in davao right now are finished i think the city can accommodate a lot of people from manila if they want to move out. Just to ease the congestion and let manila breathe.

Despite of all the negatives in the country, you never fail to show us its good sides and all the improvements that will inspire more Filipinos to become responsible members of society. I think the government should allow good foreigners like you to have a filipino citizenship. You deserve it. Keep up the great work man!
Thank you for visiting Davao. PUJs will be replaced by city buses soon. This will be under the city's high-priority bus system project, and like the underground cabling project, its implementation will be in phases.
Hopefully, by next year 500 buses will be deployed around the city.
thats nice, hopefully manila strats a publiac bus system, currently whats available in manila is messy and contributes traffic, a system thats easier to use and tourist friendly with displayed routesand noticeable bus stops

Saludo sa tagapagpatupad ng batas at mamamayan ng Davao. Mabuhay kayong lahat!
Thank you for highlighting Davao City man. I’m proud Dabawenyo living in Florida, USA. 🙏🏼👍🏼🇵🇭 🇺🇸 Welcome to Davao!
This is an excellent public service. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Getting a slap of shame. Because seeing disciplined Filipinos sure is hard to come by especially in the cities of Metro Manila. You are doing it right Sir 🥰
Davao pa rin is still in a different level compare to Manila. I still remember my last visit in 2019, when Im asking for direction to the crocodile park, the people Davao always telling me na " Mag taxi ka na lang, di naman to katulad ng Maynila di ka lolokohin dito"
Still 2nd in rape and murder

Dude, Davao City is 3-4 times bigger that the whole of NCR. Manila is just a cute little city in terms of land area. Crocodile Park is located in an area where no public transport is available mainly because it is situated inside a private space. So malamang ang isasagot sa iyo is mag taxi ka nalang for your own sake.
@@johnpaulpadonia2017 pero if we put in Manila Taxi perspective mas lalung hihingi ng dagdag un taxi.

This is what we need to see in Metro Manila. Davao city is amazing 🤩
Simulan ang disiplina. Kasi ang mga taga davao. Sunod muna bago complain tapos makikinig naman leader nila
not only in Metro Manila but all over the Philippines
Thats all because of Duterte's, and I'm proud to say that Davao is safe and clean.
@@akosiclemz mag lulululu ka nalang
There's a strict rule in Davao that if you don't wear a helmet and get into an accident you won't receive help from Lingap and the CSWDO in LGU. And there's a Traffic Enforcers in almost every crossings so that's few of the reasons.
One word.. discipline /ˈdɪsɪplɪn/
noun
1. the practice of training people to obey rules or a code of behaviour, using punishment to correct disobedience.
@@joeabad5908 it's not just discipline, the governance of Davao is very different, it's strict. PRRD is a socialist and a pan asianist different mindset to that of other leaders who want to privatize everything.
We need social democracy here in the Philippines. A bit of socialism with capitalism like in Scandinavia. You see here it works.
Discipline, cooperation with lgu and also a true strong leadership of lgu in Davao is the key to have a clean environment and less traffic city.
Clean environment, agree ako pero less traffic??? Hahahha jusko matagal ng problema yan dito sa Davao senior high pa ako hanggang ngayon college na ganon pa din. Sobrang lumala na traffic ngayon tas hirap pa mag-commute. Just stating the facts.
@@k-studio8112 it's being solved.

@@k-studio8112 true. Hirap mag commute. Kaya ako nilalakad ko nalang SPMC to Damosa kesa magsayang ng oras kakaantay ng jeep pero ang ending, sa taxi ka sasakay kasi punuan na ang mga jeep.
Thanks for your honest observation about Davao. The things that you've noticed makes Davao unique and different. Hope you stay in Davao longer to enjoy its hospitality, abundant fruits, and some places of interest. Life is Here - DAVAO!
It feels like you're in other country, and the cleanliness 👏🏻👏🏻
I'm amazed and inspired by the people and leadership in Davao, particularly of this place. Awesome vlog you have there.
Damn. Imagine the mayor who did this to a city in Mindanao is being cancelled by the people in Luzon. Track record must be your basis when choosing a public official.
Agree
BRAVO PHILIPPINES........LOTS OF LOVE FROM INDIA
I hope the pipes they used are durable to be able to withstand earthquakes and flooding so it may last for the long term! Salute to Davao and to you sir for sharing with us this wonderful project of Davao!
This is the kind of Local government I wanted. I hope all parts of Philippines is open minded for a change and improvements. Thanks again for showing tis City Davao.
Nakapasyal na po ako sa Davao at sobrang linis po talaga now lng ako nakakita na lugar at City na napakalinis.
Proud to be from Davao City.
💚
I was last in Davao in 2019 it never hit me,OMG what a great improvement .Keep up the good work you are doing
Hello. Gadget Addict. I remember I was there December 2013 when Tacloban city was hit by typhoon Yolanda. I stayed there around 4 months before going back to Tacloban city. Very nice place.
This is a great vlog I really hope this would impact on the cities of Manila, so please brother try your best to atleast show this to the rest of the managing group of the MMDA and if possible to the Mayor of Manila itself, big thanks to you bro. And more power to your channel👍
That isnt a monumentally bigger task than Davao
Well well well, finally a video of something good in the Philippines. All is not lost...😎
For me, the majority of my videos show something good in the Philippines.
Why? Because they show what's being done to FIX the problems that exist. Instead of pretending they don't exist.
How can you fix something when you don't even acknowledge/realize it? Pretending it doesn't exist is worse. GA's videos are all about showing the problems and ways to fix them.
@@GadgetAddict majority of the problems in Metro Manila are caused by slacking Barangay LGU's.
@@williammaverick He doesn't show ways to fix them. It is the same old story. Give them a ticket for a violations and they keep doing it. Fixing it involves tougher consequences to motivate them to not do it again
@@ian74747 too many LGUs din isang problema sa maynila. Ang daming mayors na puro magagaling ang daming ganap kaya walang nangyayari jan. Sa davao nag iisa lang nag mayor. Singleminded ang implementation pag may malalaking projects. Jan kasi kelangan pang hilot hilotin lahat ng mayor. Lol
A big difference ,clean and orderly,well done 👍 hope up north here will follow suit
Other countries you could only see wires when it's near powerplants. It's good to see some projects like this.
I'm working in Middle East and you can't see any single cable wire in any place here.
Well disciplined people. Clean city. Again another amazing video g.a. 2 thumbs up
I was just last weekend where I attended the Davao International Marathon. My friends from Davao drove me here. Good job, Davao!
I understand that redevelopment is way more complicated than having empty land and building up but it’s super cool to see Davao City striving for better
Yes this is my city Davao City. I miss our place talaga pinas it's very clean and wires were already gone. Instead they put wires underground. Watching u from Cairo, Egypt originally from Davao City the Philippines. 💖🇵🇭🇪🇬
I've been to Davao a few years back on Kadayawan weekend and I felt so secure and ease with the people and traffic management. 💪
Thank you Gadget addict for showing us Davao. The place is really an example that we Filipinos still have the hope and chance to change. Davao shows us that a disciplined place would create a very good vibe and create positivity among its constituents. Mabuhay ang DAVAO.
ANG KAAYUSAN NG ISANG LUGAR AY DEPENDE SA LOCAL OFFICIALS MULA SA BARANGAY CAPTAINS,KAGAWADS AT SA MAYOR..ANG BAWAT BARANGAY AY MAY MGA TAUHAN NA NAGLILINIS AT ANG SYUDAD AY MAY MGA TAUHAN DIN..KAYA MAKITA MO NA MALINIS TUWING UMAGA..WALANG PINAG KAIBA ANG DAVAO CITY SA IBANG LUGAR SA PINAS
Disciplined leaders rolling down to disciplined constituents & companies. TRuly a model city that can be emulated by the whole country especially Manila if only... I hope the Metro Manila LGUs, MMDA continue their work religiously to educate the public. Because of your nice vlog I will visit Davao soon. Thanks man for continously posting these kinds of topics to top-up our knowledge
Thank you for showing this to the world 👍
Thanks GA. Everything you said was right on.
My experience there in 2013 led me to believe that any city in the world, with the right leadership and willingness of people to change for the better can be a model city.
Keep up the good work.
Sir, thank you for this video. The strong leadership and political will of the LGU in Davao explains why their former mayor became the President of the Philippines. He is loved by many because most of us desire and need change in the entire country.
How I wish this can be done and followed here in Cebu City. I am so amazed to see this and hope to visit Davao for the 1st time in the near future.
Stay in Cebu. Davao is not exciting or sophisticated

Ito sana ma-implement sa buong bansa! I will support it 100%
I have been to Davao many times it is so peaceful and organized,
When I got to the airport, when I got into the taxi, I noticed that they were taking the passenger's name. I asked the person what it was for. And they said it is for the safety of the passenger.
In case of an emergency, accident, or incident they have a record. 😊👍
in some cases if you left your belongings in the taxi... like phones or bags. ^_^
Proud Dabawenyo here, thank you for visiting our City, I subscribe, God Bless🙏
Davao ppl u guys are awesome! Keep up the good work.
I wasn't aware Davao City government has ventured into and has been implementing this project til watching this. It surely does make a big difference. Also, wearing helmets, use of dash cams simply makes sense and is good practice. Metro Manila municipalities can learn a lot from Davao City gov't if they wanted to...
Thanks for sharing. 👍
We don't advertise our City it's because people are migrating here and We prefer quiet, relaxing and slow pace of life...just chill out!
Welcome to davao GA! I live at davao city😊😊 God bless GA... dont worry your safe in davao city
Filipinos deserve the same quality of life as the west. Keep up the good work. I agree with you 100 percent. Ty for your vlog
*DUTERTE* and of course the *Davaoeños!* If only the Philippines had been under a Federal type of government, provinces like Davao and Cebu have long been world class cities. What you see here is the perfect result of a province deprived of funding from the national government for 37+ years.
WOW 😲 that's awesome 😎 Wala nang salasalabat na mga wires. Congrats Davao! Kudos 👍👏
Hopefully this will be implemented nationwide. Especially here in Pasig City. As a Photographer, it is nicer to see the streets looks cleaner.
As a photography, ano un? 😂
@@richardgibson1872 Required ba na walang common sense pag pinoy? Hahahahaha
Wow Amazing Very Nice I wish Metro Manila Do this specially at Residential Area Bravo Very Good Job
Underground systems are protected from strong winds and falling trees. They also look better aesthetically. However, buried lines are susceptible to water, earthquake and excavation damage, and can take longer to repair because the damaged area is usually more difficult to locate
All good points. Thanks for the feedback.
They can just stay with the overhead line installations and all they have to do is rationalize the overhead lines and get rid of those that are not used anymore and follow elcetrical codes. If you think about it, all the posts need to have is just the 3 phases and an overhead ground wire for the high tensions wire and the two or three lines for the low voltage (220v). And those telecoms and fiber optics should be replaced with trunklines and not single lines - this is just the telecom companies being lazy and not following the codes.
We've had underground everything (including trains) for a very long time (electricity over 100 yrs) Water damage even in flooding areas has never been an issue. Repair and replacement is easy because of manholes. Telephones were forever being cut off by storms and vehicles crashing into poles before they went underground in the late 20th century. Earthquakes have less effect on underground cables than cables on poles and the sides of buildings.
Everything has pros and cons. Kesa negative, give it a try then try to solve the cons
@YES PLEASE as long as cost it not an issue, go ahead.
Thank you for appreciating little improvements in our country.
Even if the buildings are old and low-rise, it can still look like a city from the 1st world when no messy wires and streets are clean. I hope other cities will follow.
Philippines is a 1st world country, all the All Allied nations are 1st world countries. Second World: Eastern Bloc led by the USSR, the Warsaw Pact, China and their allies and Third World: Non-Aligned Movement (led by India and Yugoslavia) and other neutral countries.
If you're talking about the diffrence between developing and developed then yeah, Davao does look like a developed country's city in terms of cleanliness and orderliness.
"1st world" should not be used to measure the development of countries. "1st world countries" is the term used in the countries that are allied to U.S.A. The proper terms are developing or developed countries.
@LeeFromAsia You have got to be smoking some serious shabu if you think Philippines is a 1st world country, it is not even considered a 2nd world. There is a reason why the Filipinos are ranked 2nd and 3rd visible minorities in the west...usually below India and China and it is not because there are 1 billion Filipinos in Philippines, it is the LACK of opportunity and the LOW income in the country. Instead of trying to glorify Philippines, why not be honest and criticize its flaws so they can be corrected? You do realize that doctors in the Philippines make less than mcdonalds servers here in Canada right? This is precisely the reason why there are so many Filipinos here in Canada. You can work at a warehouse here for a really shitty wage and still make more than lawyers and doctors in Philippines.
@@alphanation368 You must be eating crack laced with human feces. You aren't even using the correct terms. The three worlds are political terms on who is allied with who during the cold war. The correct terms are "developed" and "developing" counties.
@@LeeFromAsia definition of words evolve.
Appreciate this kind of video. Really informative.
This is what happens when a politician truly cares about its citizens, they are PROBLEM SOLVERS, not WHINERS like those people in the Senate.
Thanks for sharing this Gadget Addict! I really hope that at least Metro Manila would be like this ASAP.
the improvements in Davao came into realization even before FPRRD became the president. And during his 6 terms in presidency, he insisted to put Davao City at the very bottom of the queue in terms of development. This just show how progressive the city was even back then and is still progressing up until this moment.
Great to see a street without excessive wires rolled up and hanging from an already overloaded bunch of wires.
Another thing about everyone wearing helmet is because of the “no helmet, no lingap” policy. Basically means if you get into an accident while not wearing a helmet then don’t expect any assistance from the LGU. Also enforcers there have speed guns. I just got a ticket last December, driving 51 on a 40 😅
oh no 😂😂 pag may speed gun na sa harap slow down ka na dapat hehe
Davao City Had its Own Game ✊🏼
Hontiviruz, kung nababasa mo to! Ito ang totoong maayos na community, walang satsat at puro actions sila dito! Kaya maayos, malinis, at magandanl ang Davao!
magkano ba budget dyan? tsaka on going project pang yan at napakabago p lang.
Yes. Philippines is a developing country. We are not there yet but I know very soon that we will. Love from a pinoy in Canada.
Good video I always like watching ur videos very informative and it keeps me updated on what’s going on out there cause I’m getting ready to move out there soon 👍
Davao City is looking great. The City Mayor do a great job wish every city of the Philippines will do the same
Davao's really been stepping up to be a model city. I hope officials from other cities follow the improvements they have undertaken. If anything, it can be done.
Lets wait 20 years when they replaced Old Buildings plus all cables are fixed. Downtown Davao City deserve a 3rd capital of the PH
Keep up the good work! My hat is off to you and your good deeds. Thank you for caring..
Not just all the wires. Sidewalks are clear as heck as well.
Wow amazing video I miss my hometown Davao City the land of promise 🦅 Keep it up sir , watching from Dubai.
The biggest asset of a governed place is its people. If the people are disciplined and all of them obey the law, the place and its government will flourish and everyone will be blessed.
you got that dammned right
This is what you call leadership and if you have love for your city.
Hello, G.A., I am from Davao and yes it is actually good here but could you also do some videos here where there are still things that needs to be done (i.e. uneven roads, road repairs that are not done properly, and the heavy traffic and difficult commute hours during rush hours in the evening). I am not suggesting these to do backlash on the credibility of the progress here in Davao and I am actually proud of those but there are still lots of issues in infrastructures here especially in terms of road conditions and I believe you're platform will help the city see more and serve the people of Davao and our visitors better. Thanks G.A.
Ps. If you would want to see what i meant of poor road conditions, drive or ride around the vicinity of Sasa, Panacan, Tibungco areas (near-northbound from airport) and Matina and Maa traffics (going southbound)

I feel like if a city in Metro Manila does the same thing, even with thousands of complaints and negativity, a lot of people would change their minds about it and would probably wish the same thing to be done on their city.
Nice ganda naman nakakainggit, sana lang magawa din dito sa metro manila. Kaya naman pag ginusto 😊
Hi gadget.i was part of a team that installed underground power cables in makati and bgc many years ago... but in some parts of manila its going to be challenging considering the flodd history of the place. But it's doable.
My dude's underground cable po ay waterproof, even the junction box is fully protected. IP- 67 or 68 compliant, ibig sabihin kahit po bumagyo,yelo or extreme weather wala po problema. Politiko lang po talaga ang palagay ko humaharang sa anong reason we don't know.
That is why I said it's feasible.
@@novus310 Before the underground cabling commenced in Davao city, they have implemented citywide drainage overhaul at least 7 to 10 years ago which reduced flooding incidences in the major thoroughfare of downtown Davao. Underground cabling have many layers of insulation. However, it will be ill-advised to randomly implement it. Fixing drainage and flooding issue is one huge insulation layer afterall
Waaa! You're actually in my city. We do have some of the same problems that you encounter in Manila, eg illegal parking, loading/unloading in restricted areas. As proud as I am there is still a lot of room for improvement.
You can really be proud to be a Dabawenio.
Grabe, its so beautiful. It will take many years for my city to become like this, I'm here in calabarzon and i think it will take forever for our city to improve.
Davao looks beautiful because of this. If only Cebu City would do the same and if they could fix their terrible sidewalk issues, then they would become Singapore like.
Voting Rama, Garcia or another Osmena clan won’t improve Cebu at all. You need strong leadership who thinks outside the box and doesn’t corrupt with funding for infrastructure like this.
Hahahaha
@@ophanimangel3143 They should vote for either Tumulak or Daluz
Great to see people talk abot this - I also am disgusted by overhead cabling. We still have it in many older areas of Sydney Australia, such an eyesore and looks like the area is more primitive and the suburb 'gerry rigged'. I grew up in a nice area with none of this and it hurts the eyes and soul to see it. Hopefully this trend continues.
Parang ibang bansa na pala ang davao in terms of discipline. My mind is blown not gonna lie davao ✌️
it was embedded to was by Digong. active ang local enforcers, LTO and HPG dito para manghuli araw-araw..
Great job! Welcome to Davao! Life is here!
If we try to do the same thing here in NCR, you'll have some "concerned", "well-educated", "decent", "empathetic" and "compassionate" brats, journos, and politicians criticizing you for being "a threat to democracy" or "anti-poor". Lol.
When self improvement is frowned upon you get metro manila.
Rodrigo Duterte mentioned it before. Its possible but the oligarch are always on his way. Not to mention they have relatives inside the office. I am looking at you, Aquino.
That’s a beautiful city.
The explanations are clear. I hope other cities will follow also the path that Davao City is heading.
Meron talagang mga pinoy na ina undermine ang achievement ng Davao... kesho hindi daw lahat ng Davao wireless. Well off course if these people can just use their head with logic for a second, it takes more than a year just to complete a single phase of putting the wires underground.... it needs to undergo complicated engineering procedures to accomplish everything... since its already phase 2 excluding the pilot projects last 2016... the entire phases under the city ordinance will be completed by 2029 at more than 6 kms of wireless streets.
So, if ever Metro Manila or other places in the Philippines will start putting their wires underground this 2023.... parang aabotan kayo ng 2040 and beyond just to bury few kilometers of wires.... meanwhile Davao City already has a huge headstart and leaving other cities in the dust....
Actions versus plans.
Nasanay sila sa puro plano lang eh. Hahaha kaya di mo rin sila masisisi na hindi na nila umaasa ng pagbabago o yung expectation nila ay mababa na kasi sobrang haba ng panahon walang pagbabago lugar nila eh (sa mga poor areas), stagnant lang mga streets dun. Lagi may mga vendor sa mga streets, masikip dumaan kasi may kumakain sa tabi, basura nasa mga tabi lng, daming bata nakakalat sa mga daan, spaghetti wires, etc. Nasanay sa halfway2 projects lang. Ngayon ay hindi pa rin sila makapaniwala sa pagbabago ng Davao nitong mga nakaraang panahon, nandun parin yung duda talaga. Hahaha. Nasa isip nila, "sa umpisa lang yan, di rin yan matatapos o magagawa lahat" or "maganda lang ang davao pero sa ibang economic aspect bagsak". Excuse me kahit anong city data ranking mostly nasa top 10 ang Davao City. Ma-crime rate man yan, Economy ranking.

hello from New Zealand! Love the vids!
I do praise Davao's people and the local government here, but that is also both the reason why it works in Davao and why it wont work here in Luzon, in particular Manila and its greater areas. Lets be honest. Each district of Manila will have a field day of putting blame on the national government for not doing something like this in Manila, but these same people will also raise an issue if said improvements gave them even a little bit of inconvenience.
"Educated" people would be the first to say something about it, most specially if they don't like the government officials proposing it even if it can benefit everyone. On the other hand, if the said officials are who they like and think as "Educated" and has "Merit", even if there's clear evidence that an idea or what they say is, to be blunt - idiotic, they will defend said person and will insist on "Educating" other people just to prove their point, even if they're wrong.
Not to say this scenario can't go the other way, but in general, the issue here is with the people in Manila. In order to do this kind of project, people in Manila and it's surroundings need to cooperate - which is a monumental task in itself. If Manila's population is decrease by half, including all its surroundings, then there's a possibility it will work for Manila, provided the people remaining observe the law and willing to make willing to make sacrifices. Thene there's also the need to have actual competent civil workers and leaders and most of all competent Local Government officials to handle such projects. Since the National Government can provide the support but the local government handles everything from planing to execution.
So yeah, this is an almost an impossible task to do in manila given the many factors the region has.
You are painting a very bleak picture of manila. It's sad.
@@darkboard5556 I'm just saying the truth though. Manila could be a live version of Gotham City. But I'm not saying that manila is the most depressing city in the world - on contrary it's not and there are other cities more depressing and actually more unruly and unsafe in the world. Filipinos, most specially those who are thinking they're the "Educated" elite and doesn't give a real dime about us local masses think that our problems are the worst in the world and tend to blame everything they see to someone. I hate to say this but the western type of thinking and idolization of western culture tend to make such mindsets. It's like an infestation of "Karens/Kens/Kevins/Kyles", although to be honest it's much less compared in the US. But still, Manila is fucked.
Davao has less western influence in it thus the discipline and patience of the people there are much high. Bonus is that they do have competent leaders there, that are actually disciplinarians as well. Compared that to Manila who is a cesspool of western ideology, with all the so called higher education - It doesn't gave the same results as a province like Davao. Says a LOT about one should actually perceive who are the actual civilized and "Educated" people are.
@@shinryuzero when the infrastructure projects undergoing in davao right now are finished i think the city can accommodate a lot of people from manila if they want to move out. Just to ease the congestion and let manila breathe.
