While in PH I came there on September 24 for my personal trip. But I’ve decided to upload the Davao City pics as a part of it. The reason why I came to Davao was supposedly to see our Former President Duterte going around and to be taken a pic with them, however it’s no avail and I’ve decided to go on my own. I could even bare my phone and cam anywhere there, for this is the one of the safest cities in the Philippines, and no one who dare to steal it. And also, I like their culture there not for being “Bisdak” (Cebuano words of “Bisaya” means Visayan and “Dako” means big, in their term means how genuine Visayans are), but ethnically diverse as Mindanaoans. Remember: as tourists, never smoke anywhere, and do bad things there. That’s all for now. Davao: life is here!

𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐊: 𝐌𝐒𝐔-𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐨𝐬 𝐜𝐨-𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐊𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐧 𝐅𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟑

by Raydan M. Tangwayan, LPT

Mindanao State University - General Santos City was once again chosen by the City Government of General Santos to organize the Kalilangan Festival 2023. Kalilangan is known as the ‘Cultural Festival’ of the city, which celebrates the shared histories among its Tri-People inhabitants, with a particular focus on their cooperation, unity, and harmonious coexistence, while recognizing their rich cultural heritage and vibrant traditions. 

The Kalilangan Festival 2023 adopted a hybrid modality of conducting the festival celebration. Since the partnership between Mindanao State University – General Santos City and the City Government of General Santos in 2011, putting activities online was the least of the priorities. To reminisce, the partnership of LGU-GenSan and the University in hosting the Kalilangan Festival led to its Hall of Fame Distinction as Best Tourism Event of the Philippines-Culture and Arts Category by the Association of Tourism Officers of the Philippines (ATOP) from 2011 to 2013. 

When the pandemic hit, the secretariat shifted into a full-blown online Kalilangan Festival. From this experience came the “Kalilangan Festival: Kuru-Kultura,” where all activities, competitions, and contests were conducted online. The 34th Kalilangan Festival and the 84th Foundation Anniversary of General Santos City this year is described as the “vengeance” for the three-year hiatus of social gatherings due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

On February 23, 2023, the Honorable Mayor Lorelie Geronimo-Pacquaio opened the ceremony by banging the ‘Agong’ three times symbolically waking up the Generals from three years of social distancing. Former Senator Manny Pacquaio was also present at the program. The Chancellor of Mindanao State University – General Santos City, JD Usman D. Aragasi, MPA, who organized this year’s Kalilangan Festival, entered the stage with glam and colors, depicting the rich Maranao culture. Chancellor Aragasi emphasized the importance of the Local Government and MSU’s partnership in fostering good relationships and highlighting culture and arts.

The Grand Opening Night offered a production like no other as it was performed by the Kuerdas Band, the Mindanao State University’s Kabpapagariya Ensemble, Madayaw Dabaw, Step One, Regional Police Office 12 dancers, and the Ramon Magsaysay Memorial College’s Teatro Ambahanon. Performers showed the roots of Dadiangas, as a representation of a historical milieu, the calamities experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the resulting “Bayanihan” and the acts of kindness, love, and care shown during this most trying time of the city.

Meanwhile, a sea of people was witnessed on the night of February 24, 2023, during the concert of Chocolate Factory, a Filipino reggae band whose songs are popular among the youth, like “Kung Ika’y Akin” and “Letra”. With Chocolate Factory’s presence, Kalilangan Festival 2023 became an opportunity to bond, celebrate, and it served as the revenge of the Generals from the three-year pandemic with restrictions and stay-at-home directives. The Kalilangan Festival Secretariat’s mitigation for security risks was the fostered partnership with the Philippine National Police, City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council, and the City Health Office. Thankfully, the crowd was respectful of the rules set by the PNP, like the disallowed backpacks. The celebration ended at around 12 midnight. Aside from music, food, carnival, and flea market contributed to the overall fun experience.

A tribute to the festival sponsors and supporters of the Kalilangan Festival 2023, Daluyan: Sponsor’s Night, was held at the Grand Summit Hotel on February 25, 2023. “The activity is not just a mere social night. This is also an opportunity for small business sectors to venture with others, and for SMEs to initiate possible business partnership”, said Festival Manager, Dr. Alma Celesthia D. Aguja. 

The "Kalilangan ng Batang Heneral: Gensan Tri-People Youth Convergence" event was also one of the new activities conducted during the festival. It was held on February 26 at the KCC Convention Center. The event aimed to celebrate diversity and promote cultural appreciation of GenSan's heritage. It brought together the city's youth to collaborate on common issues and concerns that affect them, emphasizing the importance of unity among the youth sector despite cultural differences in the community. The participants were inspired by the message of the City Mayor, Hon. Lorelie G. Pacquiao, about the important role of the youth in the development of General Santos City. Moreover, their resolve was strengthened by the reactions and guidance of guests Reactors, led by no less than the Executive Director of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts, Sir Oscar “Oca'' Casaysay, and facilitators led by Al-Nezzar Ali, the Artistic Director of the Kalilangan Festival. The organizers were led by the Mindanao State University - General Santos' Institute for Peace and Development, while the Department of Education (DepEd) principals and teachers who were alumni of the MSU Kabpapagariya Ensemble were also present.

On February 27, 2023, the Wreath-Laying and Parada ng Lahi happened. Parada ng Lahi and Wreath Laying is an institutional activity where flowers, and salute from the people and military men were offered to the late General Paulino Santos. Different government agencies and stakeholders in General Santos City took part in the eagerly awaited parade of history by dressing in traditional attire typical of the city's three main ethnic groups. This event warms and rekindles the sense of solidarity among the city's unique culture. Following the solemn ceremony, there was also a 21-gun salute and a wreath-laying ceremony in commemoration of the contributions of the pioneers of the city, especially General Paulino Santos.

After the Parada ng Lahi, a motorcade led the iconic Kadsagayan Streetdance Parade in the afternoon. The Kadsagayan Street Dance Competition featured five contingents from Lanao del Sur, North Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat, Maguindanao Province, and two entries from GenSan, was the highlight of the Grand Finale. The Sibsib National Salindaw Performing Guild of Tulunan, North Cotabato emerged as the champion, while the Sibol Performing Arts of General Santos City took the title of first runner-up and Kulintayaw Performing Artist Collective of General Santos City as the second runner-up. The program was attended by no less than Vice President of the Republic of the Philippines, Her Excellency Sara Z. Duterte, who praised the city's success as the Festival Guest Speaker. “Without a doubt, General Santos City is a shining story of success. As a Mindanawon, we share the pride that you have.” She was introduced by Congressman Loreto B. Acharon, who highlighted the significance of culture in his message. Meanwhile, the City Mayor Lorelie Geronimo Pacquiao gave her welcome message. “Kailangan walang maiiwan na mamamayan sa pag-unlad ng GenSan. Ang nais ko lamang ay ang pamumunong walang lamangan, walang siraan, at walang hilaan pababa dahil ang lahat ng ating pagsisikap ay para sa ikabubuti at ikauunlad ng ating lungsod”, Mayor Pacquiao remarked.

In the closing night of the whole festival celebration, it was filled with powerful vocals, ethno-inspired performances, and a band concert in a native dialect and ended with the declaration and awarding of prizes given by the City Mayor Lorelie Geronimo Pacquiao, First Gentleman Bobby Pacquiao, Festival Director Shandee Llido-Pestaño, and MSU Vice Chancellor Dr. Mishell Lawas, representing Chancellor Usman Aragasi, with a dazzling firework display. The program was followed by band concerts featuring Kuerdas, Rocksteddy, and Cueshe that attracted huge crowds, creating long queues of spectators never before seen in the history of the festival.

Mayor Baste Duterte hiniling ang pakikiisa ng mga Dabawenyo sa

NANUMPA na kahapon si Vice Mayor at incoming Mayor ng Davao City na si Sebastian “Baste” Duterte. Sa kanyang talumpati, hinimok ni Mayor Baste ang mga Dabawenyo na makiisa sa pagpapaunlad ng lungsod. Ani Baste handa siyang makinig sa boses ng mga mamamayan ng Dabaw subalit dapat din aniyang tuparin ng mga ito ang responsibilidad partikular na ang pagsunod sa batas na ipinatutupad sa lungsod. Prayoridad ng nakababatang Duterte ang pagkakaloob ng pangunahing pangangailangan ng mga Dabawenyo tulad ng pagkain, edukasyon, serbisyong medikal, kaayusan at kapayapaan. Samantala, tiwala naman ang kapatid nito na si outgoing Mayor at Vice President-elect Sara Duterte sa kakayahan ng kapatid. Ayon kay VP Inday, malinaw sa kanyang nakababatang kapatid ang prayoridad nito na walang iba kundi ang kapakanan ng mga mamamayan ng Dabaw. Si Baste ay nagsilbi ng tatlong taon bilang vice mayor ng lungsod at nagtapos ng kursong political science sa Ateneo de Davao University. Read Full News @ SMNI News Channel Read the full article

This is my very first time here in Davao City, and surprisingly, my very first trip here in Mindanao Islands. To be honest, I used to stigmatized and stereotyped Mindanao, until I learned about them last 2016. I used to hear positive things about this city, until I planned and then, I did it for the first time. Davao City is way more different than the rest of my country (though, some other cities or places are prettily catching up and they’re fare so well in terms of discipline, cleanliness, orderliness, and many more). This is my first night here and I enjoyed walking during this time, and it’s so safe, and most of the people here are well-disciplined and friendly, but no tolerance to those who break the laws (like no smoking law). There will be more for tomorrow starting morning, and good night to all. Taken this evening JP. Rizal Extension and CM.

The Accidental Davao Tour

The Accidental Davao Tour

I was supposed to attend a conference in Davao but it was canceled by the company and instead of wasting the tickets we already bought; my Boss told me to use it and have a glimpse of Davao City.

I was fetched from the airport by one of the company’s drivers and drove me around town towards our office annex. I never knew that Davao is that peaceful and unlike my place, You can’t see Law…

Isang Buwang Araw ng Dabaw

By: Daniel Fil Divino

Araw ng Dabaw, ito ay isang buwan ng pagdiriwang na kung saan ay maraming bazaar, mga pangkulturang pagtatanghal ng mga iba’t-ibang etnikong grupo sa lungsod, mga palaro, at ang pangunahing atraksyon na ang Mutya ng Dabaw. Ito ay pinagdidiwang tuwing buwan ng marso at ito ay pinagsimulan ng isang misa pasasalamat sa San Pedro Katedral.

Ngayong 2019, ang Araw ng Dabaw ay pinagsimulan ng isang seremonyang pagbubukas noong nakaraang ika-1 ng Marso sa Rizal Park. Simula rin sa araw na ito ay ang pang-gabihang light show sa labas ng City Hall na tumuloy hanggang ika-16 ng Marso. Ang palaro ay tuloy na isinagawa sa buong buwan. Mayroon din madaming patimpalak na naganap. At sa sentro nitong lahat ay ang Mutya ng Dabaw na naganap noong ika-2 ng Marso.

Ang Araw ng Dabaw ay isang buwan ng pagdiriwang na sinasalubong ang araw na kung saan naitayo ang lungsod ng Dabaw. Kahit isang buwan ang pagdiriwang, ang araw mismo na kung saan itinatag ang lungsod ay tanging sa ika-16 lamang ng Marso. At sa araw na ito ay ang panglusod na parade na tinitingnan ng mga mamamayang taun-taon.

Bago man ang araw mismo, dumating na ang mga bisita sa ibat-ibang sulok ng bansa. Ang mga bisita na pinaka-inabangan ng mga mamamayan ay ang mga artista kagaya ng December Avenue, at ang sikat na istasyon ng radyo na ang Wish 107.5 sa kanilang Wish Bus. Noong ika-15 ng Marso, naganap ang konserto ng December Avenue at ito ay pinagtipunan ng maraming tao. Ang wish bus din mismo ay pumunta sa ibat-ibang mga eskwelahan kagaya ng University of South Eastern Philippines, at ng Malayan Colleges Mindanao. Makikita talaga sa mukha ng mga madla na nasiyahan sila sa mga kaganapang iyon.

Sa ngayon, may kunting araw pang natitira bago matapos ang pagdiriwang. Ang natitira nalang na kaganapan ay ang Kalingawan sa Sta. Ana, at ang Agri Biz Expo. Ngunit di lang iyang ang lahat dahil may iba pang kaganapang hindi spi-nonsor ng gobyerno. Kasali na rin dito ang Iron Man challenge na kung saan ay ang mga kalahok ay gagamit ng bisekleta galing sa Tagum papunta sa Azuela Cove sa Davao na kung saan ang lalangoy sila papuntang Samal at tatakbo papunta sa finish line.

Ang pagdiriwang na ito ay malalim ng nakaukit sa tradisyon at kultura ng lungsod ng Dabaw. Ito ay isang mahalagang paalala na ang lungsod na iyon ay nagsimula sa wala. Utang na loob natin sa mga naunang katutubo rito ang kalagayan ngayon ng lungsod. Kaya’t ipinagdiriwang rin ang ibat-ibang etnikong kultura sa pagdiriwang na ito. At dahil dito, ang Araw ng Dabaw ay lagging puno ng kasiyahan taun-taon.
