DAVAO ARTISTIC, CULTURAL and HISTORICAL HERITAGE

Davao was created as a city when Assemblyman Romualdo C. Quimpo of Davao sponsored a bill in Congress in March 16, 1936, making Davao a chartered city.  The said bill was signed into law by President Manuel L. Quezon on October 16, 1936.  The formal inauguration was held on March 1, 1937.

But before that Davao was known to be the melting pot of cultures.  The traditions, the history, the socio-economic, demographic surroundings that makes Davao so unique compared to other places here in the Philippines.  Consist of 10 tribes and soon to be 11 tribes:

  
  1. CLATA(BAGOBO TRIBES)
  2. MAGUINDANAON
  3. OVU MANOVO
  4. MATIGSALUG
  5. ATA
  6. KAGAN
  7. TAGABAWA
  8. TAUSOG
  9. MARANAO
  10. SAMA
  11. the new tribe: IRA-NUN
Though diverse in different cultures and beliefs they have one thing in common:  They offer thanksgiving, dancing and singing for the bountiful blessings they called it PAHIDUNGOG.

They are also RICH in their ARTS & CRAFTS.  Very beautiful and artistry made.  So elegant that even today's generation can appreciate their works.












  

Preserved works of arts from our TRIBES.  Restore their traditions and cultures for the next generation to see and admire , though we are sweep from the urbanization.  It is proper for all DABAWENYOS, natives or migrants, to be proud of Davao City as one of the fastest growing cities in the Philippines.

    Oh, so Romualdo Quimpo sponsored our cityhood, Quimpo Boulevard must have been named after him.

    It's my first time to hear of Ira-nun. So I guess our next Kadayawan celebration would now be "11 tribes 1 vibe."

    I have to say, I really envy you guys down there in Davao, and admire you guys at the same time. You really have such a strong sense of pride towards your cultural heritage. Really wish that somehow the same thing can happen here up north as well.
