Emergency? What’s that?

Night life is boring in davao because it's the law . Samal is going to be davao's party place once the bridge is up. They don't have a liquor ban and curfew for minors in samal or at least not as strictly enforced.

True. Agree. Davao has way more comfortable environment.

Absolutely sir yes

Yes, I agree with you

That true I'm a Cebu native.

That's true. But, thank God the Davao-Indonesia sea route is open, and some commercial sea route like 2Go Manila to Davao and Gensan are now open, making the sea more active there. Also, Davao has direct flights internationally, and more will come. Ten years from now, I'm sure Davao will become an important international trading hub, given the fact that Indonesia will lead the economic power in sea and strategically making ties or trading with them is a good move.

Yes my place is one taxi ride away to Colon, Port Areas, to north and south terminals, to Mactan international airport or any places in Cebu including my school at University of Southern Philippines in Lahug where I graduated in 1972 and 1976 respectively.

geography? who cares about geography? what a stupid comment

To add, Davao city has better Standards of Living, and a lot of well connected highways and wider, I mean wider roads, than any place in Cebu and whole Visayas. The food is better, definitely, due to fresher ingredients and a lot cheaper. When it comes to sources of income or job opportunities, Davao is not only for white collars but also for blue collars as well. Davao has more job opportunities in provincial areas than what Cebu has. Davao city has almost twice the economy of Cebu city despite the latter being a 400year old city and the former being an 80year old. You see the difference? And Davao is far more multi ethnic and multi-lingual, with higher scores in English proficiency and better Tagalog fluency as well. Davao may be a way younger city, but it has everything you need from high quality healthcare, to good quality unis or colleges, shopping malls comparable to Manila and Cebu. It's about better living standards and lower cost of living with income comparable to Cebu and Manila.

Bisaya mostly if not many sa Davao, hence magka sinabot ra Jud ang Davao og Cebu most of the the time.

In davao we are nice if you are behaved.

Cebu locals had more Spanish blood than other parts of the country arising from first contact with Spanish in 1521, and later in 1565. Followed by Zamboanga City and Sangley, Cavite where it used to be the docking and shipbuilding activity of Spanish authorities during the Manila-Acapulco Galleon Trade.

​@@cresenteayo3638 More like chinese. Less than 2% of pinoys have spanish blood bec we were governed mostly out of mexico during the spanish period. Hence the manila-acapulco galleon trade, among others Whereas almost 30% of pinoys have chinese blood. Bec they've been here even before the spaniards came. And many of them settled in the port areas bec they came via merchant boats and ships. Iloilo, binondo, cebu etc. That's why there are a lot of lighter-skinned pinoys in these areas, primarily bec of oriental/chinese blood

Cebu is a drug infested area

Thieves are everywhere in Cebu specially public spaces: churches, malls, jeepneys, airports etc.

The fact that davao is being compared to cebu now says a lot about davao's progress. Wait until cebu is being compared to iloilo/bacolod/cdo. unfortunately cebu has produced lame insufficient and ageing policy makers for the last 20 years.

Cebu being an ancient trading hub has an advantage of having centuries of generational wealth. The fact that davao is even on the table vis a vis cebu in conversation about economic development despite the latter being way ahead in time tells us great things about which one of the two?

@@darkboard5556 Cebu has the great potential to become a world class city when all the necessesary infrastructures are in place. Davao can't even keep up with IloIlo city as far as economic development is concern!

True. People in davao are more reserved compared to cebu. Going out in a party for example davao people would tend to stick to its circle from the start til they go home.

Melting pot. Manila, cebu and davao are our 'big 3' economic centers. Hence they attract the most migrants as well

Come to davao and listen to the many languages spoken here. Kaya mag talalog nalang mi minsan kay dili mi mag kasinabot sa ubang tao na dili bisaya.

@@darkboard5556 My friend from cebu complained about that. She went to davao but people spoke to her in tagalog there instead of bisaya lol Boracay is somewhat similar. Pinoys there converse in tagalog instead of aklanon bec of others who are hilagaynon, waray, bisaya, maranao, and those from luzon etc

​​​​@@fredtacang3624 cebu is like manila people are forced to speak the local language. Not the case in davao. You speak whatever language you want as long as you are understood by the person you are speaking to. It is very common to hear someone here using bisaya speaking with another responding in tagalog. No issue no drama
