    1. Hi, Haidie de Castro! I share your cousin's sentiments regarding the malls in Davao City. However, it is not so much of the shopping malls that would make you come back but it is the people of Davao - the Dabawenyos. They are all smiles and very accommodating to visiting guests to the city, particularly to foreign tourists; a kind of warm hospitality that I have yet to experience in some parts of the country.

      I am not a Dabawenyo, but was born and raised in Manila where I presently reside. The best years of my life have been spent in Davao City when work had brought me there in 1999 until my retirement, and today I always aspire to be able to take up residence again, hopefully in the not too distant future, in Davao City I call "Home".
