ANNOUNCEMENT šŸ“¢ r/Davao Community Reminder: Events, Meetups & Relationship Posts

20 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

As our community continues to grow, we'd like to clarify a few rules to keep r/Davao useful and relevant for everyone.

🚫 No R4R, Dating, or Disguised Relationship Posts

Posts looking for dates, hookups, friends-with-benefits, "looking for someone to hang out šŸ˜‰", or any similar R4R-style content will be removed immediately.

This subreddit is not a place to find romantic or personal relationships. There are other communities better suited for that purpose.

Also posts requesting information about NSFW or Illegal activities will automatically be deleted.

āœ… Activity & Meetup Posts Are Still Welcome

We do encourage posts looking for people to join you for activities, such as:

Sports (pickleball, badminton, running, etc.)
Concerts and festivals
Board games
Hiking
Community events
Hobby groups

The intent should be the activity itself, not finding a date.

Speaking of Events
šŸŽŸļø Event Posts Must Include Pricing

If you're posting about an event, whether you're organizing it or simply sharing it, you must clearly state whether it is:

Free; or
Paid (and include the ticket price or registration fee)

No hidden costs or vague "DM for more info" posts. Full disclosure helps everyone decide whether an event is right for them.

Posts that omit this information will be removed until updated.

Thanks for helping keep r/Davao a helpful resource for locals and visitors alike. If you're ever unsure whether your post fits the subreddit, feel free to message the mod team before posting.

Happy posting! 🌓

ANNOUNCEMENT [Mod Announcement] Stricter Enforcement of Reddiquette + New Flair System

28 Upvotes

Hi r/Davao, mod team here. šŸ‘‹ We’re rolling out a flair tagging system for rule violators, with stricter enforcement specifically for Reddiquette violations (personal attacks, harassment, hate speech, bad-faith trolling, etc.). This is to keep discussions productive, respectful, and welcoming for everyone in the community.

Here’s how the strike system will work moving forward:

S1 (Strike 1): 15-day ban from the subreddit

S2 (Strike 2): 30-day ban from the subreddit

S3 and beyond: Permanent ban

Users who receive strikes will be flair-tagged accordingly, and to be clear and transparent: we will provide receipts (screenshots/links to the violating comments or posts) before issuing any strike or flair. No vague warnings, no mystery bans.

This isn’t about being overly strict, it’s about drawing a clear line, especially when it comes to Reddiquette. You’re free to disagree, debate, and criticize ideas, but attacking people or derailing discussions won’t fly anymore.

As always, if you think a strike was issued in error, you may reach out via modmail calmly and respectfully. We’re happy to review.

Salamat, and let’s keep r/Davao a solid space for real conversations.

FOOD outraegous grab delivery fees

41 Upvotes

I was auditing and doing my finances just earlier this afternoon, that which includes how much I spend on Grab. Out of curiosity, gitry nako ug check kung tigpila delivery gikan sako apartment ug sa favourite nako samo neighborhood and in.ani ka ridiculous bayad karon sa delivery. Mind you, 350 meters lang siya gikan sako apartment. Simbako.

If you're looking for a sign to stop using Grab and other delivery apps, this is it. Kana na presyo nakapalit na ka ug 1-2 ka meals sa karenderya. Sa kalala sa panahon karon ug naa pud padulongay na Super El Niño, maayong panahon na jud ni mag control2 ug disiplina sato mga lifestyle. Kung malakaw, ilakaw nalang sa karenderya 🄹 di naman tawn ni maayo

TRANSPORTATION Davao City Mall Overnight Parking: Allowed or Just a Penalty?

Post image
14 Upvotes

CTTO of the photo.

Saw this on the blue app.

Just wanted to clarify the overnight parking rates indicated here.

Are these considered penalty charges for vehicles left overnight, or can we actually arrange for overnight parking at these malls?

For example, can we intentionally leave our vehicle overnight, pay the corresponding fee, and pick it up the following day or whenever we return?
Has anyone tried this, particularly at SM Lanang or Gaisano Mall Davao?

Thanks in advance!

• Upvotes

Last night an lakas ho ng ulan around Matina. Kuya manong taxi driver? Anong point ng side mirror mo kung bigla kang liliko sa lane ko?! Kalinya na ng hoodko yung rear right door mo. Naka stop na yung nasa unahan mo dahil sa stop light ako paabante dahil maikli pila sa lane ko tas bigla kang liliko and di ka pa nag signal light.

Ohhh baka sasabihin mong ā€œnanginabuhi ra man ko sirā€ same kuya where on the same boat. Papunta akong work dahil graveyard shift ako.

Tangina nyong mga kamote sa daan!! Scatter pa yung iba while driving.

Photo context: this photo was taken later on sa second stop light near sabungan.

HELP / RECOMMEND Rectal/Colon Check-up

4 Upvotes

Hello po. I wanna ask some advices and possible hear your experiences too. I am planning to consult sa SPMC. I've been worrying this clump (bukol) thing between my backdoor entrance and eggplant imnida huhu. It's been 4 months na. At first I experienced bleeding but later on wala naman ga-bleed but yun nga hindi nawawala ang clump. Sometimes lumiliit siya.

I just want to get checked lang muna since I'm still studying (20 y.o ang taong ito) and though I have funds naman pero below 10k pa kasi to baka kulangin if I will be admitted or have a surgery. What do you think po kaya? Any recommendations? I wanna hear your experience po similar to mine, and how did you fix this kinda problem. Thank you kaayo!

NEWS LOOK | Davao City is Set To Open the Largest Veterinary Hospital in the Philippines, and it will be Open 24/7!

Thumbnail

214 Upvotes

Davao City will soon be home to the Philippines’ largest veterinary hospital, the Philippine Emergency Veterinary Hospital, which is set to open on October 18, 2026. Located at 1041 Mt. Apo Street, beside Rogen Inn in the Poblacion District, the facility will operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, specializing in emergency veterinary care while providing access to advanced diagnostics and specialized treatments for pets across Davao City and Mindanao.

Designed to address critical and urgent animal health needs, the hospital will feature specialized facilities and treatments, including CT scanning, endoscopy, acupuncture, and a physiotherapy center equipped for hydrotherapy. These capabilities will support the hospital’s focus on handling emergency cases while expanding access to specialized veterinary services that remain uncommon in the region. First envisioned in 2021 by founder and CEO Dr. Ronald Lunar, the project aims to address the growing demand for veterinary health care and animal welfare services in Davao City.

With construction now in its final stages, the hospital’s ground-floor storefront and signage are already in place ahead of its scheduled opening. Beyond expanding the city’s veterinary infrastructure, the facility is expected to help address the challenges faced by pet owners seeking urgent medical attention, advanced diagnostics, and specialized treatment, which have often required travel to Metro Manila.

As Davao City continues to strengthen its position as a regional hub, the opening of a 24/7 veterinary hospital specializing in emergency cases marks a significant addition to the city’s health care services for animals. It also reflects the growing demand for accessible, comprehensive, and advanced pet care in Davao City and the wider Mindanao region.

POLITICS Baranggay Matina Crossing 74-A

12 Upvotes

Idk if this is true but someone I knew works in the baranggay jud mismo. The thought of it makes me mad because wala'y respeto. We all know Kapitan Santes has died na, RIP Kap. I was told na the day after pagkabalo na wala na siya, gipulihan dayon iyang office ni Cindy Colina. Excited ra kaayo? Respeto unta bisan gamay. Pwde man guro lihukon ang pagbalhin paghuman sa haya, given nagluksa pa ang mga tao na under kay Kap Santes ug naa pa na i-plastar na mga papeles or gamit na ilaha. Pulihan jud dayon? Murag taas ra man to ang one week gikan sa pagkawala ni Kap. Santes hangtod sa gilubong siya. Dili jud kahulat?

Wala ko kaila sa ila both personally pero the fact na si Kap. Santes dugay na nag serbisyo sa Matina Crossing, murag gikwaan ra ug dignidad, dayon2.

Unta tarung pamamalakad ni Colina ron kay aron worth it pud iyang pagpuli dayon.

Wa ra jud ganahi sa thought na gipulihan dayon ang office sa namatay human sa isa ka adlaw na pagkawala. For me, rude jud kaayo siya.

PLACES Hotel with good buffet breakfast

1 Upvotes

Hi! Planning an overnight stay in Davao and currently contemplating where to stay. We're mainly looking for a good buffet breakfast, although a pool would be a solid plus.

Budget: 7k

I'm currently torn between Aria and Seda, but it doesn't seem like Seda has the best breakfast in the city, plus I can barely find any reviews about Aria. My other option is Waterfront, although I hear the facilities are a bit old.

Has anybody stayed in these hotels this year? What did you think of their breakfast? Any other suggestions?

TIA!
