The Kadayawan Festival is an annual festival in Davao city. Its name derives from the friendly greeting "Madayaw", from the Dabawenyo word "dayaw", meaning good, valuable, superior or beautiful. The festival is a celebration of life, a thanksgiving for the gifts of nature, the wealth of culture, the bounties of harvest and serenity of living.
A celebration that interfaces the three aspects: tribal; industrial and; arts and entertainment. The festivities are highlighted with floral floats, street-dancing competitions and exhibits that showcases the island's tourism products and services.
The full cooperation of the Dabawenyos makes the festival successful. It’s very amazing that everywhere there are many people love to witness all the events. August 22 when I decided to go to the mall to see an artists like Coco Martin, Gerald Anderson and Enchong Dee, but sad to say I fail to see them. The presence of the people in the mall decided me to go home immediately because even in distance in far away distance all Ican see was the head of the people. Maybe it’s not really my lucky day to see the artists that I admire.
I’m glad that there’s no accident happens. God really spare the Dabawenyos. Let’s continue cooperate each other for the development of this city. Pray for the leaders to that God gave them enough knowledge for every decision they made. And most of all let’s thank God for the abundant blessings that He gave for this city. HAPPY 24th KADAYAWAN TO ALL!
