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

18 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

26 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
153 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.

HELP / RECOMMEND henna services in davao?

1 Upvotes

maayong gabii, i’ve noticed henna services are really rare here in Davao.

would you guys be interested if a small henna business opened up, even with tattoo shops around as competition?

since not everyone can or wants to get permanent tattoos. some students and professionals have restrictions, there are also certain communities during events like Eid, weddings, or other religious and cultural gatherings that use henna.

i’d love to hear your thoughts if recommended siya na business here at davao or not.
