Davao Not of Brochures and Travel Mags

Abstract / Excerpt:

Baguio of the sunflowers and green pines, Cebu of the Sto Nino shrine and the Carbon Market, Zamboanga of the Pasonanca Park and the flaring minarets, even the Bicol with its soaring Mayon, and Tawi-Tawi with its colorful vintas register - Oh so beautiful- in travel journals and tourist brochure. These beauty spots are surprisingly photogenic, all glossy and picture-pretty, seeming too good to be true. And the writers who write about them - my, they seem rather breathless with all those ah-so-lovely places. But Davao City, my nature-blessed, fecund ever changing city, looks so drab in those brochures and travel magazines, it seems so unfair.
