3. Information on Destination
Davao Region, formerly called Southern
Mindanao (Cebuano: Habagatang
Mindanao; Filipino: Timog Mindanao), is
an administrative region in the Philippines, designated
as Region XI.[2] It is situated at the southeastern
portion of Mindanao, comprising
five provinces: Compostela Valley, Davao del
Norte, Davao del Sur, Davao Oriental and Davao
Occidental, the newly created province.
The region encloses the Davao Gulf, and its regional
center is Davao City. Dávao is the Hispanicized
pronunciation of daba-daba, the Bagobo word for
"fire" (the Cebuano translation is kalayo).

4. Many historians believe that the name Davao is
the mixture of the three names that three
different tribes, the earliest settlers in the
region, had for the Davao River. The Manobos,
an aboriginal tribe, referred to the Davao River
as Davohoho. Another tribe, the Bagobos,
referred to the river as Davohaha, which means
"fire", while another tribe, the Guiangan tribe,
called the river as Duhwow.

6. The history of the region dates back to the times when
various tribes occupied the region. It is believed that
the Manobos, Mandayas and the Bagobos occupied the
area. These are the same tribes that created the small
settlements and communities that eventually became
Mindanao.

the agricultural basin of the Philippines. As such,
crops, fruits, fish, and chicken are plentiful. This has

creative with the cuisine.
