Really want to watch the new Obsession movie since it's Ayala Exclusive but I haven't been to Abreeza in a while and I've been seeing posts that it closed due to the earthquake last October. There's also no schedule on clickthecity, but I just want to confirm if it's really still closed. Thanks!

Na cancel yung concert ng Cup of Joe. Naka book na kami ng hotel and oqede naman irefund. Kaso yung ticket ng eroplano di refundable. So balak namin tumuloy pa. Three days lang kami. Ano ba magandang gawin sa city itself para masulit namin yung time sa Davao City?

Legit daghan kaayo mga iyakin diri..

A few days ago may nakit akong post sa Facebook, humingi ata ng tulong si ate kase yung bahay niya binaha dahil sa grabeng pag ulan. I opened the comment section expecting sympathy, pero imbes na ma awa, binash pa sya ng kapwa niyang Dabawenyos.

Sabi nila sinisira nya daw pangalan ng Davao. Sabi pa nga nila, if gusto raw ni ate ng bahay na hindi binabaha, eh sana sa Mt. Apo nalang siya tumira. Tinawag pa nilang bobo si ate kase humupa naman ang baha after a few hours.

Na alala ko nalang, a few weeks ago, may nagreklamo about sa Bangkerohan. Sabi niya minsan masyado nang mabaho ang market. She was hoping na sana may solution ang government para mapaganda naman ang area.

Ang ganda ng intention ng nag post, kasi hindi lang siya ang makikinabang kapag gumanda ang market kundi ang buong Davao.

Pero imbes na suportahan ang advocacy ng nag post, ang dami nanamang mga iyakin sa comment section. Sabi nila sinisira nanaman daw image ng Davao. Tinawag pang bobo ang nagpost kasi market naman raw so dapat mabaho??

Oo, alam ko. Grabe naman talaga ang ulan noong gabing iyon. As expected babaha naman talaga. Pero ayaw niyo bang mas gumanda pa flood control ng City natin to the point na zero baha na talaga kahit super lakas ng ulan?

Ayaw niyo ba na mas gumanda pa public market natin na kaya na natin sya maipagmayabang sa mundo?

Ayaw niyo bang mas gumanda pa mga buhay niyo?

Hello! Just curious ug nagplano unta ko mag-adopt/magkuha og pet cat. Pet lover jud ko pero wala pa gyud ko kasulay ever nga mag-alaga og pet sa tibuok nakong kinabuhi. Gusto lang unta ko makahibalo sa overall experience ug unsa gyud ang angayng buhaton kon mag-start na og adopt, para prepared ko daan sa dili pa ko mokuha.

Para sa context sa akong lifestyle:

• Trabaho ko gikan 10 AM to 7 PM.
• Inig human sa shift, diretso ra ko sa bhouse, wala na koy laing lingaw.
• Talagsa ra kaayo ko molaag.

Honest talking, sukad pa sa miaging tuig nako ni gicontemplate og maayo kon mokuha ba ko og pet. Gi-embrace man nako akong single blessedness, pero usahay laay ug kamingaw gyud kaayo nga ako ra usa sa bhouse.

Unsa nga breed sa cat ang mo-suit kaha sa akong sitwasyon ug schedule? Ug unsay tips ninyo para sa magsugod pa lang og adopt? Salamat kaayo sa makatabang!

Nganong giuso na diri sa Davao ang bombom kaayo na mga speaker na matanggal atong atuli Lalo na sa mga pedicab or baobao.

Mangutana ra unta ko ba since wala pa akong physical card sa national ID

Pwede ba na ako ra magprint tapos ilaminate?

Or kailangan pako muadto ug PSA or baranggay para sila ang magprint?

Dawaton ba gihapon na as valid ID if ever printed-laminated ra? Or kailangan jud na katong PVC ID?

Wala man gud ko kabalo pa sa process jud pagkuhag mga valid IDs

Unsa pa sad mga valid IDs na dali ra sad kuhaon

Hello everyone! Saan meron stock ngayon ng oatside or oatly? And ano reco niyo for oat milk for hojicha? I went to SM kaya lang they don't know when ang delivery for oatside. I ordered online na kaya lang next week pa magdating. Just need it asap.

Hello, I just want to ask if anyone had experience dining sa Huckleberry alone. I’m planning to go there to eat lang (I don’t drink alcohol). Is it worth the visit or overwhelming ang atmosphere?

Thanks!

I’ve been waiting for facts-based explanations as to why Davao City continues to face flooding during the rainy season, but it seems like I’m not hearing anything substantial from official sources. So here’s what I gathered from multiple sources instead. I’ll leave it up to the reader how you will use this information.

The Comprehensive Basin-Wide Solution Has Not Been Built:

The JICA-assisted Master Plan and Feasibility Study (completed July 2023) recommended integrated structural measures for Davao River (plus Matina/Talomo support): river widening, cut-off channels, retarding ponds, dredging, and drainage upgrades to reduce damage from 10-year return period floods. See https://openjicareport.jica.go.jp/pdf/12380796.pdf

As of 2026, the Priority Riverine Flood Project (~₱41.7 billion indicative cost, proposed for JICA ODA) remains in preparatory stages and was not included in the 2026 National Expenditure Program. Only smaller-scale or maintenance works have advanced.

Past Allocations Were Not a Dedicated Flood Control Package:

The often-cited ₱49.8–51.8 billion (2020–2022) for Davao City’s 1st Congressional District covered overall infrastructure (roads, bridges, coastal works, buildings, etc.), per DPWH and DBM records. Flood control and drainage made up only a fraction (hundreds of millions to low billions annually), funding localized revetments, dikes, and drainage—not the full JICA basin-wide program. See https://www.sunstar.com.ph/davao/dpwh-davaos-498b-budget-not-solely-for-flood-control

Existing Works Are Incremental, Sometimes Fragmented or Compromised:

DPWH has completed smaller rehabilitation/revetment projects along Davao and Matina Rivers. However, official reviews and oversight have noted issues like incomplete sections, rapid damage (e.g., erosion/scouring shortly after completion), ROW constraints, and quality concerns in subsets of contracts. These limit overall system effectiveness.

Aggravating Non-Structural Factors:

Urbanization (reduced permeable surfaces), encroachment on river easements/floodplains, siltation, and waste clogging drains amplify impacts—factors explicitly analyzed in the JICA study as worsening baseline conditions. See Chapter 2 of the master plan linked above.

Bottom line:

Heavy rain (78% of May’s typical rainfall fell in one night) hit a system where the science-based, large-scale protections recommended in the 2023 Master Plan have not yet been implemented at full scale, while localized efforts provide only partial relief.

Hello po sa mga taga-Davao City. Can someone please confirm if closed na po yung Ecoland Bus Terminal? If yes, san na po siya nalipat? Taga-Bulacan po kasi ako and meron po akong parents na manggagaling ng Cotabato and need mag eroplano sa Davao City. Familiar lang sila sa Ecoland na bus terminal. I cannot check if confirmed po ba na closed na yung bus terminal.

Ty po.

It's ironic to see how people in Davao are proud to say that this city is so safe, but when a hard rain hits the city, properties get damaged. In the recent rain, unfortunately, one died because we didn't have a good drainage system.

Please let us hold the people in power accountable and responsible for this flooding. We need a better drainage system. They could've prevented that one death.

I’m trying to build a low profile PC for work and some gaming.

Any recommendations where to find small to medium sized PC cases diri sa Davao? I prefer local stores or pc builders/sellers if naay available.

I’m also looking for other pc parts like 8th/9th gen i7 cpu, motherboard, ssd and etc. Used or new. Thanks in advance!

For the context, last March nagpa digi perm ko sa pinay stylist sa Ahn’s but karun dili na nko bet ang curls (buhaghag and super dry na sya huhu) or baka there’s problem with my aftercare. Anyways I wanted to achieve a long bob cut hair na straight with volume then wanted to color it (without bleach). Please recommend a salon nga maayo mo treat ug hair after a digi perm. Salamat!

Sa mga pasahero diri nga sub labi na kung turista mo, pagbantay mo ani nga taxi: LAI-2260 .

Tuyuk-tuyokon mo ani niya aron modako ang inyong plete.
Maski pag bag-ohay ra mi namuyo diri sa Davao, we use Google Maps gyud aron di mi mawa.

Nya, defensive pa kaayo ang driver to the point of raising his voice. Ninaog na lang mi.

Sayop ra namo kay wa gyud namo mabidyuhi. Can anybody help us where we can report the driver? We only got the plate number, and we’re not even sure if it matches his ID or taxi body number.
