Why Davao is considered the most habitable place in the Philippines?

When you think of living in an urban yet bucolic place, or spending the rest of your life with your loved ones, what is the first city that comes in your mind? You might say Manila or Cebu or maybe Quezon City. Those cities I mentioned above are examples of progressive cities here in the Philippines and people who live there are living a busy lives. Philippines is an archipelago that is composed of many cities and towns and when you think of the cities it comprised, you should not omit Davao as one of the finest cities. Yes! You heard it right. Davao City! I am not kidding but yes it is. Davao city is considered the most habitable city in the Philippines. Not everyone knows about it, but beginning from its socio-conomic status to the progressive buildings and structures it has, to its safety and security down to its people, I can really say that Davao is the best place to live. Now, everything that I say here would be of no value if I wouldn't back it up with a substantive explanation as to why I chose Davao as the most habitable place to live in the country. So here are the following reasons:

Soci-economic status: when it comes to the city's buildings and structures you can really tell that Davao is far better than any other cities in the Philippines. They have innovated their old buildings into a new ones and made it more sophisticated than before. Davao is riched with local products that have been exported not just within Asia but also in Europe and in America. Davao city has so many fruits and palatable delicacies that are unique from other places in Mindanao. Businessmen are coming in Davao because they know that their company will thrive if they would put their business in this city. When you walk around the heart of the city you will see restaurants and malls that are owned by investors both filipino and foreign. With collective effort of the Davawenos and other race, the city has greatly progressed throught the years. Despite the gloom brought by pandemic, investors remained resilient and optimistic to continue their business here in Davao. Some of the business tycoons have collaborated with their other friends just to strengthen the socio-economic status of the city.

Safety and Security: Davao is a busy city that you would see people coming around from morning till dawn. And since people are everywhere you cannot eliminate the idea if the safety of its city is their highest priority. And true enough, Davao is safer since to then and now. You will never worry walking around or jogging within the park because you can assure that the city has police officers that are roaming around 24/7. There are cameras along the streets so that people such as locals including the tourists are well monitored. You have the confidence as well to go to crowded areas such as parks and movie cinemas because you know that even there are safe. There are travellers also that are coming in and out within the city and based on their experience they would still choose to visit again Davao if given a chance. The criminal rate within the city is decreasing over the years and this is because of the initiative of our local officials and police officers who have been doing their best to make davao as the safest place in the Philippines.

Tourist destinations and Recreation: When you look at the beautiful sceneries within the city you will really get amazed on how ingenious the people of Davao are. But that could not compare the beauty that it has when you look at the nature. Davao is best known for its beautiful places. May it be in the mountain parts of the city or the marvelous beaches in the south. Davao city has so many beaches that are so wonderful and amazing. These beaches have beem featured not just within the Philippines but even abroad. Many tourists have also discovered the beauty of davao. You will surely enjoy yourself basking in the heat of the sun. If you are the adventurous type of person also you can try some mountain climbing and trail trekking that is so fun and enjoyable. I guaranteed you will never regret doing such as more and more people have decome addicted to this extreme yet fun activity. If you stroll within thr city you will also see the parks and museums that are created by Davao's finest artists. You will see so much pride as you visit those places. You will fully understand the history of Davao and feel its heart by just looking at those arts that have been preserved even today.

People: You often hear that the best asset of every city is not its material products but its people. And that is true indeed to the people of Davao City. The people there are so kind and hospitable that they almost accompany you to the place where you are going whenever you seek direction from them. They will painstakingly guide you and lead you to the right direction whenever you are confused of where to go. They are also good in communicating english so this would be more advantageous to foreign people. Dabawenyos are so disciplined that they always follow rules no matter how simple or intricate it is. They are obedient to what ever the command of their mayor to them. Dabawenyos are happy people as well. The people have been through a lot of hurdles but they where able to overcome it. Last 2019, there were so many tragic events that happened in the city. There were earthquake, floods, fire, and other natural calamities that hit the city and affected a lot of people. But they are so resilient that they are able to extricate themselves from the havoc that they've experience. Public and private sectors have been working hand in hand to extend their help the most affected ones. Relief goods have been sent and disseminated to the affected areas. Despite of that tragic you would still see the smile of their faces as Dabawenyos are grateful and happy people.
