Very nice video Marshall ! 👍Happy to see you promoting Davao. One thing you would notice there is the discipline. The peace and order in Davao is sacred compare to Manila or Cebu. Cleanliness and orderliness is must in Davao. 1.) Curfew for minors from 10pm to 5am. 2.) No Karaoke/Videoke after 12 midnight. 3.) Firecracker ban 4.) No smoking in public places. 5.) No drinking liquor in public places / Liquor ban. 6.) Shirtless or half-naked is prohibited in public places. And many more city ordinances. No disrespect to Japan and Singapore but Davao is not far when it comes to DISCIPLINE. The law (peace) and order in Davao City is implemented very strictly. Credit to the DUTERTEs. By the way, the only airport that any military or police can take a rest and get some free snack and coffee/drink is in Davao City airport. It's called 'Heroes Lounge'. Credit to then Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Roa Duterte. When PRRD became the 16th President he doubled the salary of the men in uniform (AFP, PNP, PCG, BUCOR, BFP, BJMP). Also the only city in the entire Philippines that has it's own task force to counter terrorism is Davao City, it's called 'Task Force Davao' .Plus they have 911 for emergency. 👊❤🙏

Indeed, DAVAO CITY is The Best Place To Live. I'm retired from Toronto living here in Davao City for about 3yrs now & still loving it. I lived around DAMOSA area very close to Samal Island - The Virgin Island.

[@richgoss555]

Davao is Great been in Davao 4 years now love it!

[@Badjao_Outreach]

Balik Bukid Farm and Kitchen is located about 200 meters behind your hotel at Sandawa Park, just across Quimpo Boulevard. It's, in my opinion, one of the best restaurants in Davao. It's a farm-to-table restaurant that uses organic ingredients from small-scale farmers in the region. They also offer live cultural-themed entertainment most evenings. The food is great, and the prices are reasonable; it's a unique and enjoyable experience that shouldn't be missed while you're in Davao.

[@marshallbuttersvlogs6880]

Thanks for the info!

[@luzvidz8834]

Wow…I’ll be going there next month..I should try that coffee shop ! Watching from France ✌🏼🇫🇷

[@patricknintemann924]

[@callancoleman7492]

This will be my first not football related vlog. any tips would be appreciated. when are you going back to The Philippines, salamat kaayo, Amping.

[@ecarglaitselec2807]

I'm looking to relocate to Davao next year with my kids. Anything else you think I should know? I appreciate your content!

[@leosalang160]

The coffee beans here in Davao is world class

[@free2roam674]

Thanks so much. Just landed in Cebu City, now retired. Heading to Davao in November is the plan so your video is very helpful. You have such a distinct "African" accent. Lol. I am Canadian and as such I have no accent. I loved the CDO area when I visited in June. Cam

[@leonergerodias7557]

THANK YOU FOR PROMOTING OUR BEAUTIFUL CITY DAVAO😊 INDEED, LIFE IS HERE👍

[@jesse75]

Looks like Davao is soon to be ruined. Got married in San Pedro church in 2000. Too many white and foreigner.

[@El_.5794]

Meet Kumander D again and explore what Davao has to offer. He speaks Bisaya fluently and knows the area well.

[@alannavx]

Check out the province of Bukidnon once you've settled in Davao City, Marshall. There are comfortable buses or even vans that ply the route from Davao City to Malaybalay City, Bukidnon's capital. The province is wholly mountainous with spectacular views. Used to live there for almost a decade and I can never forget I've seen. Davao has Mt. Apo, the country's highest peak, while Bukidnon has Mt. Dulang Dulang, which is the second highest, situated in the Kitanglad Range.

[@marshallbuttersvlogs6880]

I can see Mt Apo from my hotel window and it's spectacular. I will get there, just busy doing some quite involved vlogs at the mo. Thanks for the tips and the info mate.

[@kuyajobztv3660]

Good choice in making Davao as youre base to settle. Try checking apartments in Lanang Area.

[@patricknintemann924]

I was in this Casa leticia hotel in 2022. Really good. My room also was on this side, 2nd or 3rd floor can't remeber. But it was mirrored. It's so cool to see this. It's like being there again. 2023 I was in the Red Dorz in poblacion because I wanted to be in the city center. But I went there one tiime to eat breakfast there and to say hi to the nice staff there again.

[@danielpasterp5837]

You got a new subscriber! 👍

[@marshallbuttersvlogs6880]

Welcome aboard!

[@darrellnelson3203]

Davao does have a coffee scene for sure. Your featured coffee shop is about 7 minutes from where we live.

[@OneJuanWon]

Roughly $15 USD per day for the hotel - that's a respectable deal 👍

[@JeNaisPadFe]

Hello can you tell me about the city the best hotel ?

[@anaiisaggy1543]

Hello, just bumped into you this morning. Are you an aussie?

[@marshallbuttersvlogs6880]

Yep

[@Mer_adventures]

I suppose to visit Davao last November but because of the frequent Earthquake opted to Tagaytay

[@JCarey-uv3bb]

Not a bad deal. Another $200. For utilities, that works for me.

[@kevinnashskitchen3517]

When I cook rice at home I hope that it's all fluffy and never sticking together. Each grain of rice on its own .. Not a sticky rice fan at all.

[@oxoelfoxo]

we Asians (at least some of us) think sticky rice is a good thing

[@edr_tv]

❤❤❤ Marshall❤ Keep safe

[@royignacio6922]

Good restaurant; can't beat the PhP75 price on that brunch! Stay safe, Marshall!

[@jundeguzman101]

Sir Marshall i suggest you go to the famous Eden Nature Park while you are there at Davao city and est varous kinds of Durian products like Durian ice cream Durian cake and Durian coffee ☕️

[@Joju_8699]

You should explore also DOLE pineapple plantation in POLOMOLOK SOUTH COTABATO

[@Jonathanedward2010]

How does tipping work there?

[@thasarg4288]

How much is a coffee

[@mpojol]

9:00 Former President Duterte''s standee at the hotel's front door doubles as a security device as well hahaha.

[@Ironman31389]

You should try Cucina Ilocana in Davao city. There ilocos Empanada is the best.👌

[@stefanhorlacher1583]

best place to be, mindanao live there in davao since 2008 ...

[@kevinnashskitchen3517]

You should get down and dirty with your own Adventure bike and traveling about on your own. Meet up with people here and there during your travels. 😁👏👏

[@marshallbuttersvlogs6880]

Yes, good point.

[@evangelinepadeno1038]

❤❤❤

[@oxoelfoxo]

carinderia/turo-turo prices posted up on the wall seem higher than what they charged Marshall... maybe bigger portions

[@marshallbuttersvlogs6880]

I didn't notice that. I'll have a look next time I'm there.

[@johnvillacin2185]

[@nameats4627]

Davao is more safe, cleaner, cheaper than Manila. So yeah that's a good place to live. It has many malls, too to choose where you want to buy stuffs. Or, if you want more cheaper. Then i suggest Koronadal City.

[@rexmascarina2169]

Mabuhay!

[@ArielEnriquez-u3m]

Marshall nextime if you want a condo unit to rent..let me know we have a place for rent in davao city.

[@free2roam674]

Hello I am planning to come to Davao City Nov 1 and I am looking for a short term condo rental, preferably in this area, which I think is called Bucana. It needs to have a pool and good AC. Thanks Cam from Canada

[@cheryllcarter3072]

Marshall, Suprised ur coffee more expensive than the brunch.

[@marshallbuttersvlogs6880]

That did cross my mind haha

I could of bought damn near half of Samal Island 20 years ago. (My wifes family property). But there's no way in hell I'm living in that climate. There's nothing to do but drink beer all day. I met my wife walking down the street in Davao in 1998 and married her there 6 months later. I haven't, or want to go back.

Safe? 7 bombings in the last 20 years says that is a lie. Last bombing was 2016 at the night market, Killed like 20 and injured 70 people. You must not know what the word safe means.

Western Amenities in Davao? You got to be kidding.

[@marshallbuttersvlogs6880]

Just a question really.

​@@mikejones5364what western amenities u are referring to toxic guy?

[@mikejones5364]

@@marshallbuttersvlogs6880 Clean Streets, no beggars, no massive traffic, cross walks, walking sidewalks, good streets with speed limits that keep traffic flowing. Davao is just another 3rd world city in Philippines, doesn't compare to like a BGC or certain nice parts of Makati.

[@mikejones5364]

@@AkilesAmonte-xh2ie Lets review Davao City: Old small streets and highways with slow traffic speed limits, No sidewalks to walk, overall dirty, tons of traffic, no walking trails, no biking trails, lots of bombing in Davao City (7 in the last 20 years). Noise Pollution, Street/vehicle pollution, vendors all over the sidewalks, beggars outside all malls and fast food places, etc.

Marsh the first café price list looks a little expensive than usual, but probably because it looks spic and span. The casa Leticia looks more like a Villa. That's a great hotel deal.

Haven't heard of any kidnapping or fighting as well.
