Yes Davao City is one of the largest city in Mindanao very clean city 🏙 ❤

[@nielk799]

DAVAO Is the largest City in Mindanao followed by Zambonga and Cagayan De Oro Mindanao Cities might be quite lagging Behind in developments than LUZON and VISAYAS Cities yet, they are on its way to start developing. numerous condomium are rising in DAVAO and CDO.

Hey Jason, Welcome to Davao city! I came across your channel from your Tanzania vlog ( my mother land) and now your in Davao where I live 😮 I enjoy watching your videos ❤

So brave of you to try the local chocolate drink and durian :) Both are known to cause a spike in blood pressure. :D That's why we avoid having both foods at the same time :D We usually make the local cocoa into a chocolate porridge called champurrado :) Soooo good!

[@dennishp]

High Blood pressure has nothing to do with eating durian and chocolate. But increase in heart beat due to caffeine in chokolate.

[@absfinal]

So true every Drink i try gives me temporary Diabetes lolol Buko and this red Drink , Mango etc

[@s6t6n6s9]

tablea drink is... sa tinood lang kay good para sa high blood. becoz Cocoa is rich in FLAVONOLS... Durian on the other hand will raise heart rate and will give body heat.

[@FilipinaAndTheForeigner]

Great place

[@cypruscats8450]

I'm here after watching all your Saudi videos in one sitting! Thinking of going to Saudi as a non Muslim tourist in the next couple of months! Have to say though Davao looked very run down and shabby! Will watch your other videos from the Phillipines with interest. Keep up your great work Jason!

[@danielvalenzuela9764]

Glad to hear your eye is ok and the video ther in Davou was great. Showed the conditions when raining. Thanks and cheers to you Jason.

[@JasonBillamTravel]

Thanks Daniel

[@beeann8]

Eating Durian in the street/outside will not offend anyone especially in Davao, they are used to people eating that there..But it was a good idea not eating Durian with Hot Chocolate coz I dont think it’s a good combination might give you a tummy ache and a lot of trips to the loo😅 Locals in Davao eat it with Coke/Pepsi on the side, well that’s what my friends told me when I went there😬

[@roelvillamor1471]

Nice to see you again Jason!!! Enjoy Mindanao!!!

[@missmia5468]

I have never tried durian before, the smell is quite strong. Maybe time to give it a go! I think food from the Phillipines is often one of the unrated Asian cuisines. It’s an amazing mixture of influences. Davao looks like it has a big small town vibe. Looks like the climate is quite tropical? Thanks for the video great to have you back on here

[@JasonBillamTravel]

Yeah it’s quite a tropical climate, you’ll see that on the next video from Samal Island.

[@JojieCerteza]

many foods smells, but tastes good (depending on your taste bud). I grew up around the Davao area, so I am very accustomed to durian.. and for me, like all foods that has scent, it just makes me want to eat them, sometimes you can tell from the smell being tasty or not (the durian) that is. There's only a handful of variety that these days, I'm willing to eat (as they are the best varieties). also don't eat it inside hotels! The scent will last a whole week, renders the room unrentable. A lot of hotels bans this fruit in their establishment.

Thank you for the video, I'm glad to see you back!! Enjoy Mindanao! See if you can try palapa while you're there. it's a spicy condiment that might as well be called 'Filipino kimchi'. it's a speciality of Muslim Filipinos and has become quite famous here. It's fully vegan, and it's delicious if you love a bit of spice. If you're into cultural stuff too too, you might be able to catch some kulintang music there, it's the centuries old traditional lively gong-chime ensemble music of the Southern Philippines, that predates the Spanish colonial period by many centuries. it's one of the signature cultural icons of Mindanao and one for the prides of the Philippines. Never been to Samal there so looking forward to what you make of it! 😊

I consider atsara as the filipino kimchi haha

That's our Palengke! It should be messy! But look how clean it is 😇 But for us living in the city that might be considered "our messy" as the whole city is so clean 🤣

Looks way dirtier than Switzerland or Canada, sorry. There are all these pedestrians sharing the roadway with vehicles in the video. You might be comparing it to India or something.

That was a really commendable thing to consider that the people around you might have been bothered by the smell. Big ups for that. Also you'll see a no durian sign inside hotels. At first I thought it's cuz of the spikes on the skin that it could be used as a weapon but it turns out it's bcuz of the smell haha

Durian is my Fav. and Balut. The food I will miss about in the Philippines is Davao. Have you already visited the park, like Philippine Eagle and Crocodile Park? My husband likes in Philippine Eagle, he really amazed a lot of eagles.
