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.

Traffic lights

The traffic signalization project of the city has been implemented for more than a year already. The implementation of the first phase of the multi-million-peso traffic signalization project in the major thoroughfares of Davao City has made traffic flow smoother and have lessened vehicular accidents,

But still there should be traffic enforcers who would man the intersections, as there are still some drivers who beat the red light. At the first many drivers not follow or forgot to use the traffic lights and some of them they don't know how use it but in the middle of the year they learn already. Traffic lights helps us to easy cross the street especially those disable person. Its really useful because of traffic lights the Davao City make safety to walk alone.

Mayor DUterte Doing good

Davao City’s strict and good governance and with city’s prime mayor’s one-of-a-kind love and dedication to public service, this city has now in my opinion the most peaceful city in Mindanao, or perhaps, in the whole Philippines. I salute Mayor Duterte’s power and control so much!Because of Mayor DUterte the Davao CIty less crime happening in Davao City, and I even don’t fear walking alone in the city late at nights. I would even have my wallet peeping largely in the back pocket and yet the place just seems too safe to be feared of, from pickpockets, snatchers, and the like. He also publish the law of smoke-free ordinance makes it a healthy place to live in. This is one decree that every city should implement also. Smoking is stalwartly prohibited in public places and lawbreakers are immediately dealt upon once known. Smoking is only allowed in private places such as homes: when one smokes outside his home or territory, he will be penalized. Davao City has been hailed the second most livable city in Asia.

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.

Founded in 1929 and acquired by Aboitiz & Company in 1946, Davao Light and Power Company is the third largest privately-owned electric utility in the Philippines. It holds the franchise for distributing electric power to Davao City, the largest city in the world in terms of land area, as well as Panabo City and the municipalities of Carmen, Dujali, and Sto. Tomas in Davao del Norte. On September 29, 2000, the franchise was renewed for another 25 years by virtue of Republic Act 8960.
