Coconut Wine
Sunday morning my Uncle prepared a coconut wine because we have a visitors after lunch. He so busy to prepared the food and drinks that he can offer to our coming visitors, he prepared I think 2 gallons of coconut wines and fish kinilaw. The traditional coconut wine is one of the most popular drinks among Filipinos because even it is a alcohol, but it's organic!his coconut wine is not for sale.
At exactly 12:05 at the afternoon the visitors are coming, they start to prepared the foods outside the house and the coconut wine. Then they start to drinks and talk about the taste of coconut wine. My uncle said that he really like coconut wine than the other wines because it is a herbal and not only that he also believe that coconut wine can kills germs in the stomach.
His friends agree for that, most of his friend they visit here because they want to drinks fresh , pure and clean coconut wine. Some of sari-sari store here Davao they sell a coconut wine but it is not pure because they mix a little water to increase the volume of the coconut wine because of that the taste will change and sometimes their coconut wine they put it into a dirty gallon.

MOst Outstanding good Services in Davao City, Philippines
Davao City Water District
A long time ago, the old DavaoeƱos relied on mother nature - the Davao river and the rain for their water needs. Since these were not enough, the first waterworks system came about in 1921. Called the Sales waterworks System, it tapped the Malagos creek to serve about 10,000 consumers. As the populace grew, studies for improvement were made and so in 1968, the water system was placed under the National Waterworks and Sewerage Authority (NAWASA). This signaled the construction of better water facilities. Demand for more potable water proportionately grew with the increasing population.
Davao Light & Power Company
More commonly known as “Davao Light” is the company that supplies electricity to the whole of Davao City. This is one of the subsidiaries of Aboitiz - the known shipping company.
