Davaoenos in Dubai finally had their wish come true – to have their own version of Kadayawan Festival, a week-long major annual celebration held every third week of August in Davao City. Held in Little Manila Restaurant, the event was attended by 300 people including dignitaries like Consul General Paul Raymund Cortes and community leaders. Derived from Davao’s Mandaya tribe’s traditional greeting “madayaw”, Kadayawan Festival depicts goodness and abundance. (Photo credit: Alpha Media)
