Kadayawan at the Apo View Hotel
Celebrate the Kadayawan Festival 2010 at the Apo View Hotel. As one of the premier hotels in Davao City, the Apo View Hotel pays homage of the artistic, cultural, and historical heritage of Davao.
The Kadayawan Festival is the annual thanksgiving festival of Davao. The term is derived from the word “Madayaw,” a greeting that means good, welcome, or beautiful.
The Kadayawan Festival is held in August in time for the bountiful harvest of fruits in the region. It is also a celebration of the Waling-waling, the Philippine Eagle, the Durian fruit, and the Mount Apo which are symbols of the beauty, bounty, and culture of Davao.
The Kadayawan Festival is also a celebration of the tri-people in the area: Christians, Muslims, and Indigenous Peoples. It is during this time of the year when the 10 indigenous tribes of Davao are celebrated and recognized as the pillars and founders of Davao.

Island Garden City of Samal
A trip to Davao is not complete without a visit to the beach. Why? Because the beach is 10 minutes away. And it’s damn nice! Plus, it’s a 100% typhoon free city so you can visit the beach anytime of the year.
The DFAT 2010 Team took advantage of this. And with ETours, enjoyed the beach and all it had to offer. We availed of the Davao island hopping tour package which included a tour guide, a boat ride around the Island Garden City of Samal (IGaCoS), and use of snorkelling sets.
Every fashionista in Davao City was at the Marco Polo Hotel last
June 16, 2010 for the First Year Anniversary of Martish. Dubbed as White Runway, it showcased Martish’s fashion forecast for Fall 2010.
Hair and Nails by Hairs and Nails Salon
One of the salons that I frequently go to is Hairs and Nails Salon. Hairs and Nails offers salon services that are effective but affordable.
Aside from the usual services such as make up, hair trim and hair iron, Hairs and Nails Salon also offers major hair treatment services: hair dye, hair highlights, hair perm, hair relaxing, rebonding, hair spa, hair detox, and hair extensions.
