Filed under: Events, Kidapawan City — simplyb0r3d @ 3:22 am

Kidapawan City. Known to be the City of fruits and highland springs is celebrating its 6th yr Timpupo Festival. It started from a fruit float parade last Saturday Aug 18, One of the highlights to start the weeklong fest and will end August 24.

Also, one of the highlights of the Timpupo Fruit Fest is the eat-all-you-can of fruits at the city plaza. It is the place where the exotic fruits like durian are found (one of my favorite :) ), the street dancing participated by 17 barangays, the fruit show contest, fruit eating contest, film showing, cultural shows and etc..

Other highlights include also the search for Lakambini for Timpupo 2007, which was held last night at the City gym.., Miss Fruity Gay, Mount Apo Adventure race and wall climbing.. Yeah, the tallest peak in Phils is also found in Kidapawan, The Mt. Apo, One of the major attraction which has 10,311 feet above sea level. :)

And tomorrow will be the fruit gallore hosted by Journalist Marc Logan.. One of my fave part.. It is where visitors and locals can eat those fruits for free.. A 3 kilometers table of diff fruits like Durian, mangosteen, banana, rambutan, lanzones and etc., in the middle of national highway.. Again, its for free.. :) Twas prepared by the government. Hmmm.. Eating fruits first thing in the morning while walking in a long table of fruits in the middle of the highway aren’t bad i guess.. Kita kits… :)

Kadayawan sa Dabaw

Filed under: Davao, Events — simplyb0r3d @ 2:02 am

One of the highlights in Davao’s social calendar , the kadayawan sa Dabaw festival. A wonderful worklong celebration every August. A festival in thanksgiving for natures bounty and Davao’s cultural wealth. Think about the lovely and vibrant parade of costumes and traditional dances. wow.. :)

A lot of hotspots and outdoor activities too. For those who love beaches, head to the exotic Pearl farm beach resort in Samal Island (if u can afford the luxurious villas). If not head to Talikod beach in Samal Island too where you can rent a hut or cottages for a very affordable price. Twas Nov. ‘95 when i last went there with friends.. Its fun and adventure. We hit the road late at night and we descended 80% before we arrived at our destination.. fixed our tents and couple of drinks.. hmmm… and when the sun rises? wow.. a beautiful white sand beach! :)

Another must-visit is the venue. For those who love the nightlife.. bars you can hop right over Jacinto street. For more after dinner fun head to Matina Town Square (MTS) along McArthur highway. Its a hotspot of diff bars populated with younger crowd who enjoy live music (am 1 of them.. ;) ). A night w/ a trip to the hilltop sprawls of bars and restaurants that includes the Jack’ s Ridge. Its over viewing Davao City more like Mr.A in Cebu.
