DAVAO’S NEW PUNCH LINE

Davao City has a new treat for visitors as soon as they arrive in the airport.

From August 11 down to August 21, tourists will be treated to the Davao Punch, a new concoction of non-alcoholic drink with a combination of guava, calamansi and pomelo, which was created by a chef of Center for Culinary Studies Davao (CACS Davao).

This new fruit mix was created in line with the city’s campaign published in selected national dailies which highlights the bountiful harvest of fruits and flora during the month of August, hence its celebration of Kadayawan Festival. It also showcases ten of the most vibrant tribes in the city with a tagline of Ten Tribes, One Vibe.

In a full page ad, a young lass in colorful authentic tribal costume holds a drink in her hand with the caption: “FLY TO DAVAO AND WE WILL WELCOME YOU WITH A GOOD PUNCH. At the Davao International Airport, experience our welcome drink, DAVAO PUNCH, a concoction especially made for the guests of Davao City.”

Get a taste of the city’s new “punchline” and visit Davao during Kadayawan Festival!

    DISGUSTING DAVAO. Making light of a human rights abuse by their fascist queen.

      To an impostor named, Aaliyah.. I’m sure you’re just using that name to create a connotation that a Muslim bad mouthing Davao. We have a good relationship with our Christian brothers and sisters here. As Muslims, we stand by the principle of Mayor Inday and Vice Mayor Rody. We love them more than they love us. =)

      oh yeah? our city was listed as one of the most livable city in Asia. that said, how would your city compare to that?

      Our mayor done what a fine mayor would, be a servant of the people. i bet you are living in a city governed by a sissy “trapo”.

      Hey Aaliyah,

      Enough of the hatred. What we are standing by is the thought that one wrong move doesn’t undo the great things this Queen of ours has done to the city.

      And, I guess (where ever you may be from), you have never experienced this kind of public service where the majority of its populace stand by and fight “against all odds” for their leader(s).

          aaliyah… do you have some sort of a habit that you weren’t able to practice while you were in davao?

          i think that explains it.

      guess what, you’re totally wrong, Davao is nowhere near disguisting. May kasabihan nga “When someone is adored so dearly, their detractors would be so jealous they’ll do anything to bring her down”

    @aaliyah: You are hilarious. Let’s see if that happens to you. How would you even react? PLUS! ths blog post isn’t even about that. Its about our tourism ads. Get over it. If youd really want a Davao Punch, youll probably get one. Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it from Santa Claus as an early Christmas gift.

    I was suppose to rant and ****… but No. Sometimes I do not want to share Davao to everyone else. 🙂 That way we can preserve the wonderful things we have. They do not know that we have it all… shhhh…

    To @Aaliyah,
    What kind of mouth do you have? I’m not a Filipino, but I do love the places here in the Philippines especially,Davao. If you are not a Filipino, then just shut your mouth.
