OnlinePinoy.net - Rene Leandro Padilla

Because of Redhead's work opportunity in Davao, I was able to go with her and visit the place for the second time. The last time I was there was because of a colleague's wedding where we also enjoyed trekking Eden Park and feeding crocodiles. We stayed at one of her best friends, Lorelee, who also happens to be an adventure seeker. Before we set foot in Davao, Lorelee already had some places in mind for us to visit. One of the said places is the Samal Island Camp Park and Beach Resort.

“Life is Here” – This was what greeted us when we touched down the airport of Davao. The greeting did not fail us. We met a lot of people, created memories and bonded with Dabawenyos.  Life was truly in Davao.


This metropolitan is known as a source of the smelly but yummy fruit Durian and is as famous as its incumbent, fierce but good mayor, Rodrigo Duterte.  One can surely enjoy Davao in so many ways. Among them are as follows:

1.Feed crocodiles and other exotic animals
The place is located in Brgy Ma-a and is called Davao Crocodile Park. You will get to see crocs big and small. Not only that, exotic birds and rare find snakes are there to amuse you. The largest croc is called “Pangil” and was once a record-holder as the largest in the Philippines until Lolong came out. You can check out my detailed post last year.
