Two things I noticed was how clean it was compared to other cities and the dedicated bike lane-- that's a huge plus for me as I ride everyday.

I like Davao it's clean, no one is smoking in the public, drugs and crime problems is under control. Traffic is not heavy, too many fruits. Overall it's peaceful. Number one livable city in the Philippines. 👍👍👍

Filipinos in Davao are really well mannered, they are into education and employment.

I've been spending time in Davao City for the first time setting up a second office here and really love it. Very different from Cebu City. The people definitely seem more serious here about life, and as an employer, with work.

I am a 66 year old british expat living in Davao with a filipina partner. I am a world traveller, if you are not the Philippines will be a shock for you. There are many types of women in the world it is up to you who you date. My thoughts if you find a partner that you have lived with for a long period of time and that you love your partner then find a place that you can live happily together. The world is a big place. Visit places in the world together for a long period of time. Then live where you are happy together.

this city is on my top 3 cities to move to... Iloilo, Bacolod and Cebu. however I like Davao the most because of lack of typhons. I guest I can deal the earthquakes.

DAVAO is so clean and very peaceful place to live.I ❤️ it!

I have lived here in Davao for almost 3 years now and Ne for 28 years so she definitely knows her way around, A couple of things I also like are they have a decent 911 system & the ambulances have paramedics on them. Trash burning is illegal so there is less pollution. Also, traffic laws are enforced. I rarely see other expats here other than at the pool at our condo.

The last time i was in DAvao City where i was born and lived until the age of 18 after i left for good for Switzerland. I must admit im proud dabawenyan woman by heart. I hope to go to visit again nxt yr. Keep safe,GIO and GOd BLess. Thanks for sharing.

It’s very clean there.The pace of life seems really laid back.

I am a british man living in Davao with a filipina partner. Where I live shopping malls, Banks, markets are close by just a few minutes ride away on our Aerox scooter. As to ferries they go to Samal island. The immigration department is in the city. The airport is the best place to use to travel to other islands and if booked ahead they are cheap.

Hi Gio ,for me I regard Davao the very best city in the Philippines ,if I was gonna retire there it most certainly would be in Davao City ,thanks Gio looking forward to your next adventure .

Love these walk and talk videos so much. Thank you Gio Safe travels

The infrastructure also seems a little better in Davao than Cebu/Lapu Lapu…reminds me more of Thailand in that respect.

good review on davao.. also mention safety, clean air and sense of organization.. well run city

As always a great video with simple and honest information. Hope you have a better internet there than me in Bantayan 😜

Thanks for the Davao videos. I am planning on retiring there August 2022.

Nice Gio you have a walk at SM..u know early at 5am most walkers are doing a walk around the area of SM..i see foriegners.

I lived in Davao for 3 years and it is a beautiful city .

Thanks for this video. I’m state side planning on selling my stuff in spring. After a lot of internet research Davao sounds like my kind of retirement destination.

I prefer Davao and my favorite mail is Abreza which is a short walk from our condo in Camella's Northpoint development.The saying, 'it is more fun in the Philippines' is wrong. It is more fun in Davao, in my opinion.

Great walk and talk! Think I liked the part where you moved like a frog to get through traffic lol 😂 I actually liked that game back in the day! Well still waiting to hear the big news! Hope you tell us soon before the Philippines 🇵🇭 opens up in the next 4-8 weeks. Stay safe brother

Been to Davao twice. Stayed at Morco Polo first time and took a tour with a friend. We hired a van that took at to Samal island. The second time we stayed at the Pearl Farm and saw the giant clams. This was pre-pandemic.

Very good TY!!

Frogger....love it!

Looks good and much cleaner

The infrastructure seems to be very nice in Davao. I would like to visit Davao. Looks very clean as well.

its so clean!

Love the nature aspect

Intelligent blogging.Congrats !

Cool! Be there in few days from north kakalaki 😂 Been to Cebu too (where I got mogged lol). Baguio is nice but limited places to go to. I'm looking forward to this.

Davao looks much cleaner, better infrastructure.

Hi! Thanks for featuring Davao❤ my home town. God bless you Sir😇

Mostly Local Chinese, Spanish, Taiwanese owned some businesses in Dipolog. Now there are some foreigners living in Dipolog. You can a lot of hotels that it is near the sea.. you can just walk from the center of the City to the longest boulevard in mindanao. Its a peaceful place with a Roman Catholic relegion...

Love the bike path! Is that just an isolated one or does Davao have a network of them? I’d love to buy or rent a bicycle to get around

❤️ed it! 👍

Interesting video, Davao seems to be clean and traffic more easy than Cebu. But ti walk around maybe Too much spread. You need a scooter. No ferry is a negative. I am curious to see in the future what city you will settle as a home base.

I miss Davao,,happy to see your vedio

It's my city Davao City the Philippines. My home sweet home. 💖🇵🇭🇪🇬 Anywhere u will find the friendliness since it is our culture. Watching u from Cairo, Egypt originally from Davao City the Philippines. Enjoy your time guys in my city and it's a great place to visit and everything is easy and available. It's quiet, clean and beautiful everywhere.

4 years ago i was in davao , i like that place more, i'm not a city minded person, but towards other big city's i seen, like cebu or manilla, atleast it's more relaxed, and on traffic hour you can still ride, and not get stuck in traffic,

Great video and information! For a big and a spread out city appears to Look more like a medium city! Cool! Do the buses Allow or Take bicycles!! My mountain bike is a cross-country racing bike Very light! single suspension, that I could use for road-racing 30 to 35 MPH no problem on flat roads! Scary faster on steep downhills, but have good enough brakes! And yes it is a pedal bike ,easily can pickup with two fingers!

Great job welcome to Davao city

hey GIO!! I ll be in Davao (for the third time) in a few weeks

I will visit Davao if I will return Philippines someday. 🇵🇭 Be safe and take care.

Where are you headed to next ? Thanks for the walk n talk. Looking forward to your next locale

great vid

They have a ferry system in Sasa/Lanang area. It takes 3 days I think to go to Manila. Stops in Cebu and Puerto princesa too

Great!!! Welcome to Davao.

Its better the Mall are spreadout to avoid congestion in the city.You have to think economically.

Thank u.. this is very helpful for me and hubby deciding whether we should live in Davao or Tagaytay

I will be there for 3 months starting nov 23rd. Wish me luck. 😊

Mate, I live in Davao for yrs ! One Oasis Ecoland, right beside SM ! I have many friends here. Mountain Biking is wonderful here ! I ride with local mtb group here Baysikols

Good info I plan to move there soon. I have also met more traditional filipino women from there online it seems.

I love Davao City, I visited for two weeks and I want to go back ASAP.

Great video Gio. Just got out of the hospital due to getting Covid and because I am a Renal Kidney Transplant patient so no chances can be taken with my health condition. Hope you enjoy your next move and looking forward to the next videos!

Hi Gio. My wifes family comes from Davo and normaly we go twice a year to visit them and stay on our small resort on Samal, as you can a bit imagine from my icon. Davao is becomming more and more feel like home in the Philippines. It's a good city, i love it, but is is not a very beautifull one. Nevertehless, Davao offers you erverything you need and has a geat nigthlife if you love music. It's perhaps the savest city in PH. What i miss in Davao, is a nice boulevard longside the ocean. But perhaps the new costalroad bring this feature. And when you go with the farry to Samal, there are plenty of beautifull resyorts and some white beach sites. My concusion is, Davo is not one of the top, but a very good place to live. Greetings from Germany, Peter PS. Next stay in Davo 12.03.2020

good job i like Davao but you are right its so spread out just doing an aron can be a task

Davao is in the backend of Mindanao. There are Ferries/cargo ships that go to Manila with a stop in Zamboanga City Weekly.

I miss Davao my home town feels like I want to go home now 😊 thanks for this vedeo

I think I'd like to live in Davao Gio looks and sounds like a great place to live

Salamat Gio, funny, I’ve just started chatting with a Davao woman, literally an hour later I come across this video of yours. Coincidence? Maybe not.👍😊

I agree to your comment about girls in davao are working exactly correct ,mostly people in davao are working

im in davao since 2008 - best city, best area - mindanao rocks

The reason why Davao doesn't have ferries is because its too far to travel by water than by air or land If you can see the Map of where Dsvao is situated then you will understand Port of Davao is also mostly for international cargo not much for domestic cargo and travel because of the location where a ship from Davao will have to make a giant U turn to go other islands like Cebu Bohol etc. Whereas you can ride a Bus to Cagayan de Oro and hop a boat to go the islands I've just mentioned in less time Its practical

Hello, im one of your new subscribers. I just want to react regarding ferry, its bec of the location. Cdo is right at the top of mindanao so it is so much practical going to cebu by boat but davao city is on the bottom part of mindanao, it will take 3 days by boat going to manila. Second because of malls right on the same street, look how horrible the traffic in cdo. By the way, i was born in cdo then went to college in davao that is why i was able to see the difference of the two cities. Cheers mate!

What does Gio think about Talomo? Do you think Davao could build an IT parl like Cebu there? The city is built up in Davao, but further out, more green to concrete into suburbia?

Sending my support here

Thanks I feel like I’m getting a free tour. Think of all the money I saved.

A very peaceful city

Good to know I'm in Manila right now waiting on my last flight to Davao

Hello sir im your subscribers whaching From Davao city keep safe All ways

I loved this video & I'm from Davao.

If you go to Bajada 3 malls are a walking distance, Gaisano, Victoria and Abreeza

thank you for viewing davao city and honest though; am from davao city as well but i live in holland very long and my partner is from poland; my man loves davao people ;;;food;;; outgang;;;; hospitality and safe and celan

Geographically, it would be silly for Davao to try and run a ferry, or to expect such. It sits on the southern shore of the southern most isalnd. A ferry would have to circle the entire island in order to go anywhere else. Just drive to Cagayan De Oro and take a ferry across. Davao, despite bein a MUCH larger population than I care for, is HIGH on my list of potential expatriation destinations.

My girlfriend lives in Mati so I land Davao and spend time there before I go to Mati. It’s the safest city in the Philippines

Good morning from tacloban leyte

Hey Davao looks like an ideal place to own a car. It appears as normal as any U.S. city for driving

yeah nice to live there.

I been a few times. Found some fun clubs and excellent golf.

Thanks for your liking in Davao city

Hey bro..my brother bought a condo at Verdon parc. I think his unit is done.

I know this is other side of Philippines La Union great coast line surfing

Davao is changing the landscape in Mindanao! There number of Central business district going on construction. Real Estate is much cheaper than Cebu.

Gio can you go to the beach like Tagum near Davao? Cheers!

Where you heading after Davao bud? We've been in Imus Cavite since the typhoon and are heading back home to Basak on Wednesday.

If they ever open up to travel again I'll be flying in to davao then on to kidapawan. That's just my start off point. Until I find my final destination

there is a boat/ship/super ferries from Davao to Cebu, Cagayan, Iloilo to Manila for your Information. Its in Sasa wharf. There is also ex pat night every thursday night along Rizal street before the Pandemic.

I guess you didn’t like it that much? So where you think about going? I hear it’s open in February to tourists? Thanks keep up the great info.

I will take davao. My wifes family lives in back of abreeza mall. By the way. Abreeza mall destroyed the whole field that the barangay used for gardens. I also like the spread out city because it reminds me of cities in the u.s.

I agree with you on some things. However the new condos have stop being built. There all ober the city with no workers. Working with them. I came 15 years ago. There was 2 Condos here. It was so much more beautiful. And the only malls we on Jp laural.

Hello Sir Gio nice to watch your video hope you notice me I'm here in Davao and hope to meet you in person 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

I live in the subdivision here in davao city it is quite and mostly people living here have a job.... But kinda traffic during morning,noontime and going home after work.. I don't like here most of the food like veggies need to buy..

What happened to your plan of moving to the more developed Malaysia? It's really nice in certain suburbs of K.L.

I'm hoping to be in Davao City, March 2022.

I love davao. My partner lives in matina and im going to see her soon again the Philippines is reopening..

How does weather compare to Cebu? I read that Davao gets hotter, and more humid. If that's even possible...lol.
