Ang Dabawenyo

Davao City’s newest entertainment center, Damosa Gateway, has come into its own after only about a year in existence. It is being managed by one of the city’s most established property developers, Damosa Land, which also put up Davao’s first information technology business center beside the Gateway.

What used to be a dusty, lonely part of town is now a vibrant collection of shops, restaurants, company offices and other business entities. Take a look at their parade of international cuisine: Japanese (Tsuru), Indian (Taj Minar), Spanish (Hola España), Vietnamese (Hanoi), Filipino (Q, Avenue S, Charlie’s), fast food (Crazy Bowl, Giacomino’s). There’s also a coffee shop, called Coffee Dream. Let’s not forget the Continental restaurant and wine cellar, Swiss Deli, which is just a stone’s throw away.

This setup is perfect for Microtel Davao’s guests. Microtel, a international chain of upper-class inns, opened a 51-room property right beside Damosa Gateway last 1 October 2007. This business hotel does not have an in-house restaurant, so the presence of the Gateway’s shops is very complementary indeed.

Aside from food places, there are also a pharmacy, boutiques, an Internet café, and a bank (RCBC Savings). Although Damosa Gateway is located quite a distance from the city center, it has the makings of a self-contained community.

Established in 2001 and slightly towering over the Gateway is the island’s foremost Japanese-language educational institution: Mindanao Kokusai Daigaku (Mindanao International College). Inside its compound as well is the Philippine Nikkei Jin Kai School of Davao, which is MKD’s counterpart school for the elementary and high school levels.

I believe that a huge part of what pushed the development of this area in Davao is the establishment of Link2Support. This IT-enabled company is reportedly Mindanao’s largest call center. In Davao, it employs about 500 agents, with plans of expanding that number in the near future. Of course, credit is also due to Damosa Land, whose forward-thinking pioneers have brought vibrancy to this northern section of Davao City.
