Ang Dabawenyo

It’s a few short weeks running up to that occasion people have mixed feelings for. Valentine’s Day. There are those who get really excited about 14 Feb. And there are some who actually dread the day. A whole spectrum of emotions over one out of 365 days.

Everyone knows that Christmas and New Year’s in Davao are a totally different experience due to the absence of fireworks. But what about Valentine’s? What do Davaoeños do on this day of hearts? Is there something special that we do that other people don’t do in Metro Manila or Iloilo or Zamboanga? Maybe not. But why don’t we take a look at some places that could set you apart from other "daters" out there?

Imagine the sea. And moonlight. Too cheesy for you? Ok, imagine not having to shell out hundreds of bucks for this Valentine’s date? There are quite a few deserted beaches out there, offering a truly romantic setting for that special day. But moving on, where could be the best date place for Valentine’s this year?

What about presents? Is that special person not going to be with you on the 14th? Send a Valentine’s Day gift and make him/her feel like you mean it. Try this for starters.
