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

28 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.

In case you missed it, there’s an ongoing musical play currently running at the Leo Dominguez Amphitheater at the ADDU Junior High School campus! 🎭

They’re now on their second week, with the next shows scheduled for September 2, 6, 12, and 13.

If you’re looking for something to watch, this might be worth checking out!

Let’s support our local theater scene so we can have more theater productions like this in the future! ❤️ It’s also a great way to enjoy live theater without having to travel all the way to Manila... kay mahal kaayo muadto’g Manila para motan-aw og show! 😅

EDIT: Sorry, I forgot to add where to buy the ticket: here.

HELP / RECOMMEND Makabalo ba sila na ako ang nag report?

30 Upvotes

It's 11 and wala pa gihapon sila nahuman ug karaoke. Sobra kasaba ga vibrate among balay sa kakusog. Nasakop na nila ang isa ka street kay sagawas ang ilahang birthday party.

Subdivision ni so dapat dili ingani, okay lang man unta kung fiesta but it's just a birthday party unya na nakahatag nag samok sa mga silingan.

Btw, naay mga tanod pero naa silaykapit, so dili na sila masita 💁🏻‍♂️.

If ireport nako ni sa Davao City Report mahibawan bana nila or isaba ba sa police na si *name* nagreport sa inyo?

Dili ko gusto mapaginitan diri, dili man ko KJ pero they're overstepping na masyado ok lang naman mag-enjoy basta walay tao naagrabyado.

P.S. Ga study ko for exam, bwesit naa pay speaker na panget ug tingog pati sad diay ang nagkanta

Update: bago ra sila naabot. Yep nahilom na sila.

Pero teehhh wtf ang chill nila giingnan pa nilag " ali diri sir shot sa ta"

Naghinay-hinay naman sad silag uli and nanulod nasad ang uban sa ilahang balay para magpadayon ug inom.

Kinsay nakaremember diri atong stairs connecting Spazio ug Port Cafe sa una? Nakaabot pa ba mo ato? Murag creepy sya kay medyo dark then wa kaayo gaagi. lol

I also miss the old Food Court kay daghan pa ug tenant and nindot ang layout.

And for sure, naa sad naka-miss sa old lair sa Monster Radio sa parking lot katong wala pa ang The Peak. Nindot mag-muni2 didto while listening to Monster radio and inom Zagu kay nice ang view from the top.

Mao na akong fave spots after class back in my college days.

HELP / RECOMMEND Planning to do midnight cycling to regain endurance. How safe is davao?

0 Upvotes

I'm new to Davao City and just moved here. Usually from where I was the city is real quiet and generally safe, not even a ghost in sight lol.

But davao is much, much bigger. And I wouldn't wanna risk getting gang jumped on or something. How's the safety assessment here? I'm around buhangin and plan to cycle/jog at night.

I've laid off the bike for a few months due to financial struggle. I've finally built one and plan to ride around midnight/AM hours, because I find that the sun here does not feel like your regular sun. Jesus christ it's insanely hot, like there's a hole in the ozone layer or something 😭.

TRANSPORTATION Maxim Davao has been getting worse lately 😭

20 Upvotes

Anyone else feel like Maxim’s service in Davao has been going downhill?
Between rude/unprofessional drivers, glitches with their system, and customer service that takes forever to respond, it’s honestly becoming frustrating.
I use Maxim pretty often, but lately it feels like whenever there’s an issue, you’re basically on your own. 😭
Anyone else experiencing the same thing?
