Nestled at the southeastern corner of the Philippines, Davao City is the largest city in the world, covering a total land area of 244,000 hectares. It is considered the Orchid Capital of the Philippines, and it is rich in culture and history.

Aside from its natural beauty, Davao City is also known for being a peaceful and child-friendly destination. The city has a strict implementation of laws and ordinances, making it one of the safest places to visit in the Philippines. The local government has also launched a child-friendly campaign to promote the rights and welfare of children in the city.

There are many indigenous communities living in Davao City, each with their own distinctive culture and traditions. Along with becoming a cultural melting pot, the city has attracted immigrants from all around the country and even abroad. The festivals, food, and art of the city all reflect the rich cultural tapestry that has been created as a result.

One of the best things about Davao City is its people. The locals, or Dabawenyos as they are called, are known for their warm hospitality and friendliness. Visitors can strike up a conversation with some of the locals and learn more about the city's history and culture. In fact, vloggers covering Davao are often asked politely by Dabawenyos for a picture or "pa-pitik," a native slang word meaning click.
