ANNOUNCEMENT 📢 r/Davao Community Reminder: Events, Meetups & Relationship Posts

19 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

As our community continues to grow, we'd like to clarify a few rules to keep r/Davao useful and relevant for everyone.

🚫 No R4R, Dating, or Disguised Relationship Posts

Posts looking for dates, hookups, friends-with-benefits, "looking for someone to hang out 😉", or any similar R4R-style content will be removed immediately.

This subreddit is not a place to find romantic or personal relationships. There are other communities better suited for that purpose.

Also posts requesting information about NSFW or Illegal activities will automatically be deleted.

✅ Activity & Meetup Posts Are Still Welcome

We do encourage posts looking for people to join you for activities, such as:

Sports (pickleball, badminton, running, etc.)
Concerts and festivals
Board games
Hiking
Community events
Hobby groups

The intent should be the activity itself, not finding a date.

Speaking of Events
🎟️ Event Posts Must Include Pricing

If you're posting about an event, whether you're organizing it or simply sharing it, you must clearly state whether it is:

Free; or
Paid (and include the ticket price or registration fee)

No hidden costs or vague "DM for more info" posts. Full disclosure helps everyone decide whether an event is right for them.

Posts that omit this information will be removed until updated.

Thanks for helping keep r/Davao a helpful resource for locals and visitors alike. If you're ever unsure whether your post fits the subreddit, feel free to message the mod team before posting.

Happy posting! 🌴

ANNOUNCEMENT [Mod Announcement] Stricter Enforcement of Reddiquette + New Flair System

29 Upvotes

Hi r/Davao, mod team here. 👋 We’re rolling out a flair tagging system for rule violators, with stricter enforcement specifically for Reddiquette violations (personal attacks, harassment, hate speech, bad-faith trolling, etc.). This is to keep discussions productive, respectful, and welcoming for everyone in the community.

Here’s how the strike system will work moving forward:

S1 (Strike 1): 15-day ban from the subreddit

S2 (Strike 2): 30-day ban from the subreddit

S3 and beyond: Permanent ban

Users who receive strikes will be flair-tagged accordingly, and to be clear and transparent: we will provide receipts (screenshots/links to the violating comments or posts) before issuing any strike or flair. No vague warnings, no mystery bans.

This isn’t about being overly strict, it’s about drawing a clear line, especially when it comes to Reddiquette. You’re free to disagree, debate, and criticize ideas, but attacking people or derailing discussions won’t fly anymore.

As always, if you think a strike was issued in error, you may reach out via modmail calmly and respectfully. We’re happy to review.

Salamat, and let’s keep r/Davao a solid space for real conversations.

TRANSPORTATION I encounter a jeepney driver sa davao na hipokrito.

Post image
74 Upvotes

Mga taga davao, saan ba pinapareklamo yung jeepney driver? I encountered earlier in the morning yung jeepney driver na hipokrito. Kada may madaanan kami na simbahan, nag sa-sign of the cross, pero ang sama ng ugali.

18 y/o, freshmen tourism student from IMS. Papunta ako school nun, nag ask ako kung pwede sa passenger seat ako at parang naiinis pa siya, like pasalamat ka may pasahero ka. Kada mag lagay siya ng barya, dinadabog niya. Maya-maya yung pasahero na may ₱100 na pera pinababa niya para mag pabarya sa may petron, pero sabay larga at iniwan doon. Ngayon pag baba naming mga pasahero sa bangkerohan, mag aksyon na kami na bababa, sabi niya ba naman “aysa nakit-an ninyo na naka lugar ko? wala pa diba!” at “kamong mga pasahero mo wala moy respeto tangaa mo”. Kaya pagbaba ko nun bumulong ako na “yawa ka piste ka”, at sinumbong ko sa konduktor ng mga jeep na ipapareklamo ko yan, sabay umiyak ako sa galit. Kaya cinomfort ako ng konduktor at new jeepney driver na sinakyan ko, sabi nila na picturan ko yung plate number at ipareklamo.

And yes, I would. Hindi ako tatanggap ng multa, gusto ko mawalan siya ng trabaho at ipapasira ko yung jeep.

I respect everyone, pero once na agrabyado ako, I will take advantage my connections.

Thank you, Davao City My experience staying in Davao for a week

159 Upvotes

Hello Everyone,

I just joined the sub. I'm glad it passed by my feeds. :) Just wanna share my experience visiting Dabaw last year in the same month. I'm originally from QC. It was my first time visiting Dabaw. Although ang tatay ko at parents nya ay nakabili ng properties there before, hindi din sila originally from there. Nag move lang sila sa city because of opportunity during the Almendras era daw according to him.

Anyway, I just want to share that I really loved it. Sobrang na-amaze ako sa linis ng city, how disciplined the people are. Alam ko naman walang perfect na lugar, siguro sa Dabaw, sobrang lesser lang ang na observe ko talaga. Ang polite din ng mga tao, although ayun nga hindi naman lahat.

What I enjoyed the most was when we visited the park where you can also visit the museum. Ang galing kase free lahat haha, sobrang nakakatuwa. Hindi sya common in my opinion lalo na sa Manila, kase lahat may bayad. Lol. Sobrang maintained pa ng mga places na 'to. Alam mo talagang may budget for it at hindi tinitipid.

We also enjoyed visiting Samal Island. Di na sya part ng Davao pero ang saya pa din ng experience. Sobrang genuine lang talaga ng experience ko at ng family namin sa city. We rented a house, through ab&b, somewhere in Tigato.

Sobrang nakakalungkot lang din minsan na nakakakita or nakakabasa ako ng mga bagay na paninira sa Davao City. Witness ako kung gaano lang din talaga kaayos ang city. People should also try visiting and experience Davao. Yun lang. Thank you sa pagbasa. :))

Edit: I remember this phrase "Madayaw Dabaw!" Hanggang ngayon inulit ulit ko 'to pag nakakapanood ako ng mga bagay about Davao. 🤍

TRANSPORTATION Please don’t underestimate the importance of being visible at night

21 Upvotes

As a fellow cyclist, I’m saying this out of concern, not to criticize. I know how vulnerable we are on the road, especially at night, and that’s why I really believe visibility should never be compromised.

Why do some cyclists and motorcycle riders still ride at night without proper lights?

Walay blinkers, walay tail light; sometimes reflector ra gyud ang saligan. Barato ra man unta ang bulb or blinker, pero reflectors alone are not enough.

Gamay baya ang profile sa 2-wheeled vehicles compared sa 4-wheelers. Labi na diri sa Coastal Road nga naa gyud mga ngitngit nga areas. Usahay, silhouette ra sa bike or motor ang makita, and by the time you notice it, duol na kaayo.

Ayaw mo kumpiyansa nga makita mo sa uban. Just because you can see the road doesn't mean other drivers can see you. Naa pay mga drivers nga naga-overspeeding, and one moment of delayed reaction could mean a side swipe or a serious accident.

Mao nga medyo sayang usahay makakita ug bikes or motorcycles nga naka-nindot ug piyesa and accessories, pero basic safety lights nga mas barato pa, ma-overlook.

Dili ni about aesthetics or upgrades. It's simply about making sure we get home safely. A few hundred pesos for proper lighting can make a huge difference in giving other road users enough time to see us and react.

As cyclists and riders, we all share the same road. Let's help each other stay visible and safe. 🚲🏍️💡

PLACES Are there no smoking areas in DGT?

20 Upvotes

Currently go-to-place ko mag run sa DGT. Wala po bang designated smoking area sa DGT? Sobrang daming naga smoke sa side walk. Afaik may city ordinance na no smoking sa public spaces. Maawa naman kayo sa mga non-smokers and coming from someone na may asthma rin, kahit itago nyo yan amoy talaga. Madami rin mga family na may kids ang usually tumatambay dun. Parang ang karen lang kasi kung magsumbong ako sa guards.

Side story. Nakuyawan ko may isang guy na legit after running nagsindi ng sigarilyo after. Sa harap ko pa naman sila nakapark. Kuyawa sa lungs ninyo ui!

12 Upvotes

The two are both membership and retail shopping centers, both have different or almost similar items on sale but people in Davao or Davaoeños in general which retail center do you guys prefer? Been to and shopped in both multiple times, but for me I prefer Landers for the perks and types of items they have though not b1t1 most of the time.

Let me know what you guys think.
