How can we contribute Davao-based photos such as the city scenes and the like?
i tried to add some pics of pearl farm, but it didn't work. I think wiki have increased security so you can't add new pages. i have pics of the wet markets, eagle centre, jones beach, mergrande, general scenes etc...
I guess wiki dont want things turning into a tourist guide (as opposed to encylopedia)
Pictures would be great but Pearl Farm is not in Davao City but in the Island Garden City of Samal and that picture would be most appropriate there. Cemby ( talk) 13:29, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
The section below was moved from the main article. It reads like a tourist guide and also has a strong POV. Claims should be referenced and prose should be rewritten in a more encylopedic style.
Davao City is no stranger to superlatives. It is one of the world’s largest cities, one of the most livable cities in Asia, and one of the cleanest and greenest cities in the Philippines. It even holds the claim to the second best potable water in the world!
The superlatives extend as well to tourism. Davao City has the best access to the country’s highest peak, Mt Apo. It is home too to the second largest eagle in the world, the Philippine Eagle, and the most important Philippine orchid specie, the waling waling or vanda anderiana.
And as its slogan ‘Island to Highland’ claims, Davao City easily covers the entire spectrum of holiday options. Its landscape is such that it can offer coral islands and white-sand beaches along with virgin forests, fruit plantations, and volcano-fed hills and valleys.
The Davao Gulf is peppered with white-sand beaches and coral gardens. Beach resorts, each with their own personal charm, are aplenty in the Island Garden City of Samal. A vast expanse of fine white sand and glistening crystal blue waters awaits the most fervent beach lover at the sprawling Paradise Island Resort. The charming setups of Costa Marina Resort and Chema’s Beach Resort are sure to please sun-and-sand worshippers. Over at Isla Reta, a back-to-basics encounter beckons. For an exclusive and private getaway, tourists can own Buenavista Island for a day. Then, of course, there is the Pearl Farm Beach Resort, which has won raves the world over.
The waters of the Davao Gulf make for excellent snorkeling and diving. The underwater vistas at Mushroom Rock, Ligid Island, Talicud Island are among the best the country has to offer.
At higher altitudes lie fruit plantations, the majestic peaks of Mt Talomo and Mt Apo, and nature resorts. Nestled in cool climes, Eden Nature Park and Malagos Garden Resort come complete with resort accommodation, outdoor activities, flora and fauna sanctuaries, and organic farms, among others. Also in the highlands is the Philippine Eagle Nature Centre, which breeds and urtures the country’s national bird. It presently houses some 30 Philippine Eagles.
In between the islands and the highlands rest many cultural, historical, nature and adventure attractions. The Dabaw Museum at the Insular Village in the north showcases Davao City’s colourful heritage. On display are various authentic costumes, accessories, and implements of the different tribes of Davao. The nearby T’boli Weaving Centre allows a closer look at the making of the tinalak fabric for which Davao is famous.
The city’s oldest church, San Pedro Cathedral, was built in 1847. The original altar can still be found at the cathedral’s right wing. The Shrine of the Infant Jesus of Prague has replicas of its namesake and of Our Lady of Fatima. The open-air chapel offers spectacular views of fruit plantations. Over at J.P. Cabaguio Street is the Lon Wa Buddhist Temple, the biggest Buddhist temple in Mindanao.
Since Davao City also has a thriving orchid and cut-flower industry, orchid farms and flower plantations abound. Floral havens such as the Malagos Garden Resort and the Puentespina Orchid Gardens are well worth a visit.
And aside from the Philippine Eagle, Davao City’s list of famous wildlife residents also includes Pangil, the Philippines’ second largest crocodile at 18 feet. Pangil shares the Davao Crocodile Farm with pythons, rodents, exotic birds, and other locally bred crocodiles. The adventurous would delight in the Davao Wild Water Adventure, a 13-kilometre whitewater rafting passage on 25 rapids on the Davao River.
"It is currently known as a center of BPO operations in the Philippines".
--is this true?
Even I wouldn't agree with this statement. I know Manila is the BPO centre in the PHilippines though Davao City also hosts several companies doing this kind of business. That line is no longer visible in the article now that edits have been done.
I won't agree to this. Davao doesn't even have a decent PEZA Zone.
Yup, OK, my first statement could be correct. BPO operations in Davao City are the most low-key in the country, no offense, so while the article will say that "Davao City is a center of BPO operations in the Philippines," this will further mislead people. Let us not be myopic here please; we are writing articles, not dream narratives. 61.9.117.213 18:04, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
The most recent set of edits appear to be using large amounts of text taken verbatim from various pages of the official city website. In addition to possible copyright issues, there is the problem of the text being written with a strong point of view. -- Polaron | Talk 22:33, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
Can you elaborate where the strong points are written in the article? If some lines prove to be so strong, e.g. titles, recognitions, etc. they are validated by actually mentioning the agencies that gave the city those titles.

Obviously advertisement. This article needs a good cleanup. It should be neutral and the based news reports are not that balanced. Ady001 15:13, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
Yes I agree with Ady001 and others. It would appear that the writter of this article cannot hear the sound of his own advertisements. Davaoguy
Balance the articles. And avoid superlatives, avoid blurbs, avoid tourist attraction stuff and get to the hard-key, well-researched facts. 61.9.117.213 18:06, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

This article does not have information regarding the sister cities of Davao. Someone do something because I would really want to know.
Davao has a sister city in the form of Manado in Indonesia and Naha in Okinawa, although I'm not sure if its official. Ady001 15:23, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
There are not too many pictures in the website. Who created the article? Can I submit some pictures?
OK, I submitted some of my pictures. Please reprimand me if I made weird things about the copyright. Thank you. Ady001 15:35, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
I have to remove the Seal of the university of Immaculate conception . I think it would be more appropriate that the seal be placed in an Article about the University of the Immaculate conception than in Davao city.

No hard feelings friends, but Silicon Gulf is way too overestimated. Davao news reports have no news as to whether this is really working. Cut out the IT ambitions Silicon Gulf please and stick with the Encyclopedic content because this article will easily muddle the readers. What is lacking here are the pictures, the current projects (working projects that the people knew) and others.
Yes please change the theme of this article. Shame on you who posted that Silicon Gulf Stuff. You must be dreaming.
I agree with this one. I have never heard of this term until I saw it in Davao City article. Topic on IT industry of Davao City will be okay as long as we keep it to a limit and it will not dominate the topic about Davao City as what it is right now. Silicon Gulf already appears on a separate Wikipedia entry. Ewc21 06:37, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
Not really, it's the 33rd (see List of cities by surface area). I'm removing any mention of that in the article, as it perpetuates the myth further. Davao City is definitely the largest city by area in the Philippines (Puerto Princesa comes a close second), but not in the world. --- Dakilang Isagani 05:44, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Here you go. It is true. This is an article mentioning the effect of the ban on fireworks in Davao City. I think you should google stuff first before posting comments. Rubberkid ( talk) 10:00, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
Yup it was banned somewhere between the 90's by rodrigo duterte after defective fireworks from street bendors blew up killing and injuring nearby people then followed by other firework mishap incidents in the 90's. Try lighting a firework in davao city and you'll have police cars going after you.
P.S smoking in public areas such as malls and parks have been banned as well as the implementation of all motorists to wear helmets. If you are caught violating these laws in davao city then good luck! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.145.82.107 ( talk) 13:11, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

Here you go. It's not widely known to some people here in the Philippines. However, upon arrival at the Davao International Airport, the flight attendants usually advise passengers about this. Rubberkid ( talk) 09:50, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
Also Smoking in Davao City extends to even Electronic cigarettes. 1st offence is a 1000 peso fine AND a month in jail. 2nd offence is 2000 peso and two months in jail... etc.. Guess the mayor thinks it will be good for international investment.. but hasnt disbanded the DDS squads.. Extremist measures. No wonder all warn about travel to Mindanao.. I agree but to a point, considering how many travellers are smokers, this is city to avoid. The way the whole law reads, there is no place that is legal to smoke. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Babalongrins ( talk • contribs) 00:01, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

I am currently trying to enhance this section in terms of grammar and sentence structure. Let me know what you think:
In recent years, Davao City has maintained its competitiveness and now attracts big business and investments. Today, negotiations and constructions are on going to put up a project here in the city. The Ayala Land and Anflocor are currently constructing <to keep it consistent with the shopping centers and malls section> Abreeza, a P3.5 billion mall. It will have a 3-storey shopping mall ,2 Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) firms, residential and commercial lots, and a future hotel.
On the other hand, Four BPOs eye Davao for expansion. Four business process outsourcing (BPO) companies have also trained their sights on this city for their expansion programs. The companies are the Canada-based Infotech Outsourcing Services, Mustang Technologies, Antech Solutions, and GenTech Software, according to Lizabel Holganza, president of ICT Inc.
More projects are planned in the city. The Davao-Samal Bridge, which will start its construction in 2017. The concept of this bridge will be like the San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge, connecting Davao City and Island Garden City of Samal. Another project also put into consideration is the Davao Light Rail Transit, the LRT system will serve the coastal builtup area of Davao City, as well as neighboring areas in Davao del Sur (Sta. Cruz), and Davao del Norte (Panabo City). The project cost was estimated to be P240 billion in 1997 when it was first proposed. It will be 60 kilometers in length and will be a BOT (build, operate, transfer) project.

Where is the Bajada and Uyanguren in the district list? AAsa man and downtown? And Sasa is under Buhangin? o_O How come I didn't know that when I actually live in Sasa, D.C.? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonica c ( talk • contribs) 12:18, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
-buhangin district encompasses the barangays of sasa, indangan, mandug, buhangin proper,vicente hizon, sr., Waan , cabantian, communal, pampanga, lanang, and tigatto. The recognized districts of Davao City according to Congress is: District 1, Talomo and Poblacion, District II-Buhangin, Bunawan, Paquibato, and the newly created Agdao district District III-Toril, Tugbok, Calinan, Marilog
Sasa by the way is a barangay, not a district and in Davao city, the organization is barangay then District...
Downtown is composed of several barangays and here is a trickier part because Downtown is neatly divided into 4 "districts" again... . the "districts" are divided into A, B, C, D and the 40 barangays of the Downtown area (also known as Poblacion) are divided by 10's.. (A- barangay 1 to 10, B, barangay 11 to 20, C-Barangay 21 to 30, D-Barangay 31 to 40) So it is a common practice to put barangay 1-A, Barangay 15-B, etc etc,etc. District A includes the Bankerohan area down to DAvao Doctors and partly central Bank, district B is at the area of Magsaysay ave etc. etc....
I am sure about this.. try checking Sasa Barangay Hall at the Highway to know more about your barangay and District, It is just near the Davao Port Gate. Get a Bankerohan to Panabo jeep. It usually stops there.

There is a discussion regarding the removal of the word "city" from the article titles of Philippine cities. For city names which are not unique, disambiguation alternatives are also being presented. Formal request for page move may follow after a reasonable time of discussion. If you wish to participate, please post your comments here. -- JinJian ( talk) 05:13, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
City in this Article is very important because Davao alone can make a reader or researcher get confused by either the province, the region, the City or even the gulf. I would say that the word "City" should be retained to remove disambiguation. Cemby ( talk) 13:33, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
A huge part of the article reads like a tourist brochure. I'd like to remind all contributors that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. Anything that sounds promotional does not belong here. Using peacock words and superlatives like 'biggest', 'grandest', 'best' is not encyclopedic, particularly when they are describing commercial aspects of the city. Please keep the tone of the article neutral. Reword what can be reworded or they will be removed. Thank you.

Roads and bridges
Construction of more roads and bridges are also underway. The construction of the City's third major road - the Buhangin Underpass - was completed in the 1st quarter of 2003. The Traffic Management and Computerization Scheme was also implemented and now considered as one of the most modern in Asia.[12] Davao City is ranked no. 5 among cities in Asia with better traffic flow based on vehicles per kilometer of city road. The DPWH is also preparing the Master plan for the Expressway Tagum City - Davao City - General Santos City.
Within downtown area, the roads are getting smaller because it's not only the vehicles that use the road but the pedestrians as well. This is due to the small and obstructed sidewalks. People including children have to walk on the streets because the sidewalks are occupied by vendors or used as a parking spaces. Some vendors are even occupying the streets. They can be seen in Bolton Street at the gate of the San Pedro Cathedral and in Bonifacio Street. The local government doesn't want to implement the laws about sidewalk vendors because of HUMANITARIAN CONSIDERATION.
the boldfaced section is not encyclopedic, but i'll check on the DPWH master plan to see if there is fact behind it, if it's true, dapat may citation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stevenadriannechua ( talk • contribs) 02:47, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

Can somebody know why the article about this city had some encyclopaedic explanations and some photos that do not even belong to Jaysalva? There is not even a picture of the city's skyline that reflects the city's economic status, which some articles about other Philippine cities do. Could I request anyone that somebody restore some photos and sections that is explanatory for the article about the city itself? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Choy4311 ( talk • contribs) 12:44, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: No consensus to move. Some of those who favored a move made arguments that were hard to follow. It is unclear what 'political propaganda' could be referring to. The name 'Davao' is used to refer to a number of different things in WP and there needs to be a system in place to deal with the ambiguity. The issues about that were well explained by BHG and Niamh. Some of the same issues were raised in a move discussion at Talk:Zamboanga City that recently ended with no consensus. I'm also changing the Davao redirect to point to Davao (disambiguation) since that's the usual place for such a redirect to go given that the move proposal didn't succeed.

Davao City →
Davao – Rename as per
WP:MOSPHIL. As a general rule, Philippine cities are only titled with "City" when they share the same name with a province, regardless if they are independent or HUC's. For example: the cities of
Zamboanga and
Surigao whose provinces are now divided into north and south, hence not anymore sharing the same name as their former province.
Davao is currently redirected to this article, unnecessarily.

I would like to start regarding the quality of this article. It seems that other people is degrading the Davao City page by posting CRAPPY photos. YES! Crappy photos, starting with the infobox of the city. Compare the page of Cebu City and Davao City, look at the differences. Cebu City seems to be promoting tourism by posting so much photos, they even have their own gallery section. Is this encyclopedic? or pure promotion of tourism and dominance in regard to the number of editor. Talk about sisterhood huh? Look at the Davao City page, full of crappy photos and half-baked information regarding the city. I despise those who tried to damage the Davao City page with their ulterior motives of making Davao City as "dangerous, ugly and low class city" to the general public.

How can we contribute Davao-based photos such as the city scenes and the like?
i tried to add some pics of pearl farm, but it didn't work. I think wiki have increased security so you can't add new pages. i have pics of the wet markets, eagle centre, jones beach, mergrande, general scenes etc...
I guess wiki dont want things turning into a tourist guide (as opposed to encylopedia)
Pictures would be great but Pearl Farm is not in Davao City but in the Island Garden City of Samal and that picture would be most appropriate there. Cemby ( talk) 13:29, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
The section below was moved from the main article. It reads like a tourist guide and also has a strong POV. Claims should be referenced and prose should be rewritten in a more encylopedic style.
Davao City is no stranger to superlatives. It is one of the world’s largest cities, one of the most livable cities in Asia, and one of the cleanest and greenest cities in the Philippines. It even holds the claim to the second best potable water in the world!
The superlatives extend as well to tourism. Davao City has the best access to the country’s highest peak, Mt Apo. It is home too to the second largest eagle in the world, the Philippine Eagle, and the most important Philippine orchid specie, the waling waling or vanda anderiana.
And as its slogan ‘Island to Highland’ claims, Davao City easily covers the entire spectrum of holiday options. Its landscape is such that it can offer coral islands and white-sand beaches along with virgin forests, fruit plantations, and volcano-fed hills and valleys.
The Davao Gulf is peppered with white-sand beaches and coral gardens. Beach resorts, each with their own personal charm, are aplenty in the Island Garden City of Samal. A vast expanse of fine white sand and glistening crystal blue waters awaits the most fervent beach lover at the sprawling Paradise Island Resort. The charming setups of Costa Marina Resort and Chema’s Beach Resort are sure to please sun-and-sand worshippers. Over at Isla Reta, a back-to-basics encounter beckons. For an exclusive and private getaway, tourists can own Buenavista Island for a day. Then, of course, there is the Pearl Farm Beach Resort, which has won raves the world over.
The waters of the Davao Gulf make for excellent snorkeling and diving. The underwater vistas at Mushroom Rock, Ligid Island, Talicud Island are among the best the country has to offer.
At higher altitudes lie fruit plantations, the majestic peaks of Mt Talomo and Mt Apo, and nature resorts. Nestled in cool climes, Eden Nature Park and Malagos Garden Resort come complete with resort accommodation, outdoor activities, flora and fauna sanctuaries, and organic farms, among others. Also in the highlands is the Philippine Eagle Nature Centre, which breeds and urtures the country’s national bird. It presently houses some 30 Philippine Eagles.
In between the islands and the highlands rest many cultural, historical, nature and adventure attractions. The Dabaw Museum at the Insular Village in the north showcases Davao City’s colourful heritage. On display are various authentic costumes, accessories, and implements of the different tribes of Davao. The nearby T’boli Weaving Centre allows a closer look at the making of the tinalak fabric for which Davao is famous.
The city’s oldest church, San Pedro Cathedral, was built in 1847. The original altar can still be found at the cathedral’s right wing. The Shrine of the Infant Jesus of Prague has replicas of its namesake and of Our Lady of Fatima. The open-air chapel offers spectacular views of fruit plantations. Over at J.P. Cabaguio Street is the Lon Wa Buddhist Temple, the biggest Buddhist temple in Mindanao.
Since Davao City also has a thriving orchid and cut-flower industry, orchid farms and flower plantations abound. Floral havens such as the Malagos Garden Resort and the Puentespina Orchid Gardens are well worth a visit.
And aside from the Philippine Eagle, Davao City’s list of famous wildlife residents also includes Pangil, the Philippines’ second largest crocodile at 18 feet. Pangil shares the Davao Crocodile Farm with pythons, rodents, exotic birds, and other locally bred crocodiles. The adventurous would delight in the Davao Wild Water Adventure, a 13-kilometre whitewater rafting passage on 25 rapids on the Davao River.
"It is currently known as a center of BPO operations in the Philippines".
--is this true?
Even I wouldn't agree with this statement. I know Manila is the BPO centre in the PHilippines though Davao City also hosts several companies doing this kind of business. That line is no longer visible in the article now that edits have been done.
I won't agree to this. Davao doesn't even have a decent PEZA Zone.
Yup, OK, my first statement could be correct. BPO operations in Davao City are the most low-key in the country, no offense, so while the article will say that "Davao City is a center of BPO operations in the Philippines," this will further mislead people. Let us not be myopic here please; we are writing articles, not dream narratives. 61.9.117.213 18:04, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
The most recent set of edits appear to be using large amounts of text taken verbatim from various pages of the official city website. In addition to possible copyright issues, there is the problem of the text being written with a strong point of view. -- Polaron | Talk 22:33, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
Can you elaborate where the strong points are written in the article? If some lines prove to be so strong, e.g. titles, recognitions, etc. they are validated by actually mentioning the agencies that gave the city those titles.

No hard feelings friends, but Silicon Gulf is way too overestimated. Davao news reports have no news as to whether this is really working. Cut out the IT ambitions Silicon Gulf please and stick with the Encyclopedic content because this article will easily muddle the readers. What is lacking here are the pictures, the current projects (working projects that the people knew) and others.
Yes please change the theme of this article. Shame on you who posted that Silicon Gulf Stuff. You must be dreaming.
I agree with this one. I have never heard of this term until I saw it in Davao City article. Topic on IT industry of Davao City will be okay as long as we keep it to a limit and it will not dominate the topic about Davao City as what it is right now. Silicon Gulf already appears on a separate Wikipedia entry. Ewc21 06:37, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
Not really, it's the 33rd (see List of cities by surface area). I'm removing any mention of that in the article, as it perpetuates the myth further.

Guess the mayor thinks it will be good for international investment.. but hasnt disbanded the DDS squads.. Extremist measures. No wonder all warn about travel to Mindanao..

I am currently trying to enhance this section in terms of grammar and sentence structure. Let me know what you think:
In recent years, Davao City has maintained its competitiveness and now attracts big business and investments. Today, negotiations and constructions are on going to put up a project here in the city. The Ayala Land and Anflocor are currently constructing <to keep it consistent with the shopping centers and malls section> Abreeza, a P3.5 billion mall. It will have a 3-storey shopping mall ,2 Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) firms, residential and commercial lots, and a future hotel.
On the other hand, Four BPOs eye Davao for expansion. Four business process outsourcing (BPO) companies have also trained their sights on this city for their expansion programs. The companies are the Canada-based Infotech Outsourcing Services, Mustang Technologies, Antech Solutions, and GenTech Software, according to Lizabel Holganza, president of ICT Inc.
More projects are planned in the city. The Davao-Samal Bridge, which will start its construction in 2017. The concept of this bridge will be like the San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge, connecting Davao City and Island Garden City of Samal. Another project also put into consideration is the Davao Light Rail Transit, the LRT system will serve the coastal builtup area of Davao City, as well as neighboring areas in Davao del Sur (Sta. Cruz), and Davao del Norte (Panabo City). The project cost was estimated to be P240 billion in 1997 when it was first proposed. It will be 60 kilometers in length and will be a BOT (build, operate, transfer) project.

Where is the Bajada and Uyanguren in the district list? AAsa man and downtown? And Sasa is under Buhangin? o_O How come I didn't know that when I actually live in Sasa, D.C.? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonica c ( talk • contribs) 12:18, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
-buhangin district encompasses the barangays of sasa, indangan, mandug, buhangin proper,vicente hizon, sr., Waan , cabantian, communal, pampanga, lanang, and tigatto. The recognized districts of Davao City according to Congress is: District 1, Talomo and Poblacion, District II-Buhangin, Bunawan, Paquibato, and the newly created Agdao district District III-Toril, Tugbok, Calinan, Marilog
Sasa by the way is a barangay, not a district and in Davao city, the organization is barangay then District...
Downtown is composed of several barangays and here is a trickier part because Downtown is neatly divided into 4 "districts" again... . the "districts" are divided into A, B, C, D and the 40 barangays of the Downtown area (also known as Poblacion) are divided by 10's.. (A- barangay 1 to 10, B, barangay 11 to 20, C-Barangay 21 to 30, D-Barangay 31 to 40) So it is a common practice to put barangay 1-A, Barangay 15-B, etc etc,etc. District A includes the Bankerohan area down to DAvao Doctors and partly central Bank, district B is at the area of Magsaysay ave etc. etc....
I am sure about this.. try checking Sasa Barangay Hall at the Highway to know more about your barangay and District, It is just near the Davao Port Gate. Get a Bankerohan to Panabo jeep. It usually stops there.

The page Davao City should be protected because I see from the history,that anonymous users are editing the article Davao City.
Please state the edit request and repost the edit request template. Bejinhan Talk 11:36, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
Not done: As Leujohn points out above, you need to make this request at
Wikipedia:Request for page protection. I'm not an admin, but I think it is unlikely that they will semiprotect the page. The only recent edits are yours and the most recent IP edits do not appear to be obvious vandalism.

"It is the capital of the Mindanao and is the biggest urban market in the growth polygon called BIMP-EAGA (Brunei-Indonesia-Malaysia-Philippines East Asian Growth Area)", I removed this portion because it is not true. Mindanao is not a political entity thus it don't have a capital. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.146.211.6 ( talk) 01:42, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
I very much agree on this. There is no such thing as a Capital of Mindanao (well, unless Mindanao decides to secede...) Probably it would be more appropriate that Davao is an important city in Mindanao since most of the regional offices of companies are often located there... Cemby ( talk) 05:43, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

There is a discussion regarding the removal of the word "city" from the article titles of Philippine cities. For city names which are not unique, disambiguation alternatives are also being presented. Formal request for page move may follow after a reasonable time of discussion. If you wish to participate, please post your comments here. -- JinJian ( talk) 05:13, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
City in this Article is very important because Davao alone can make a reader or researcher get confused by either the province, the region, the City or even the gulf. I would say that the word "City" should be retained to remove disambiguation. Cemby ( talk) 13:33, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
A huge part of the article reads like a tourist brochure. I'd like to remind all contributors that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. Anything that sounds promotional does not belong here. Using peacock words and superlatives like 'biggest', 'grandest', 'best' is not encyclopedic, particularly when they are describing commercial aspects of the city. Please keep the tone of the article neutral. Reword what can be reworded or they will be removed. Thank you.

Is the large list of barangays needed, or can we simply link to Districts of Davao City? I think that linking is just fine.— C45207 | Talk 05:51, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

Roads and bridges
Construction of more roads and bridges are also underway. The construction of the City's third major road - the Buhangin Underpass - was completed in the 1st quarter of 2003. The Traffic Management and Computerization Scheme was also implemented and now considered as one of the most modern in Asia.[12] Davao City is ranked no. 5 among cities in Asia with better traffic flow based on vehicles per kilometer of city road. The DPWH is also preparing the Master plan for the Expressway Tagum City - Davao City - General Santos City.
Within downtown area, the roads are getting smaller because it's not only the vehicles that use the road but the pedestrians as well. This is due to the small and obstructed sidewalks. People including children have to walk on the streets because the sidewalks are occupied by vendors or used as a parking spaces. Some vendors are even occupying the streets. They can be seen in Bolton Street at the gate of the San Pedro Cathedral and in Bonifacio Street. The local government doesn't want to implement the laws about sidewalk vendors because of HUMANITARIAN CONSIDERATION.
the boldfaced section is not encyclopedic, but i'll check on the DPWH master plan to see if there is fact behind it, if it's true, dapat may citation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stevenadriannechua ( talk • contribs) 02:47, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
The city os famous as Durian Capital of the World, and there is no mention about durian in the article, not a single word? WTF? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.200.65.115 ( talk) 21:43, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
I started rechecking the article. Please, Duterte is not Davao City and vice Versa, It would help if someone just make an article about this family. and then Link that article to this one. Also, I have noticed Cagayan de Oro is all over mindanao articles. Please link Cagayan de oro if there are important relationships that are happening. If not, don't link it in. or.. if such link prevails, add also Zamboanga, general Santos, cotabato and butuan being regional centers of the island.
I have removed nicknames. These nicknames are media advertising, unless there is an ordinance adopting the said nickname. islands to Highlands are the Department of tourism XI motto for the WHOLE REGION XI Davao Region. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cemby ( talk • contribs) 06:02, 7 November 2011 (UTC) Cemby ( talk) 06:29, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
I think this cagayan de oro link, which is now in every major city in the island is maliciously placed. There is already a link/list below for other people to check out their place. I recommend a speedy removal of such links. I do hope forumers from other sites like Skyscrapercity etc respect Wikipedia and not promote a City vs. city thing here.

Can somebody know why the article about this city had some encyclopaedic explanations and some photos that do not even belong to Jaysalva? There is not even a picture of the city's skyline that reflects the city's economic status, which some articles about other Philippine cities do. Could I request anyone that somebody restore some photos and sections that is explanatory for the article about the city itself? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Choy4311 ( talk • contribs) 12:44, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: No consensus to move. Some of those who favored a move made arguments that were hard to follow. It is unclear what 'political propaganda' could be referring to. The name 'Davao' is used to refer to a number of different things in WP and there needs to be a system in place to deal with the ambiguity. The issues about that were well explained by BHG and Niamh. Some of the same issues were raised in a move discussion at Talk:Zamboanga City that recently ended with no consensus. I'm also changing the Davao redirect to point to Davao (disambiguation) since that's the usual place for such a redirect to go given that the move proposal didn't succeed.

Davao City →
Davao – Rename as per
WP:MOSPHIL. As a general rule, Philippine cities are only titled with "City" when they share the same name with a province, regardless if they are independent or HUC's. For example: the cities of
Zamboanga and
Surigao whose provinces are now divided into north and south, hence not anymore sharing the same name as their former province.
Davao is currently redirected to this article, unnecessarily.

I would like to start regarding the quality of this article. It seems that other people is degrading the Davao City page by posting CRAPPY photos. YES! Crappy photos, starting with the infobox of the city. Compare the page of Cebu City and Davao City, look at the differences. Cebu City seems to be promoting tourism by posting so much photos, they even have their own gallery section. Is this encyclopedic? or pure promotion of tourism and dominance in regard to the number of editor. Talk about sisterhood huh? Look at the Davao City page, full of crappy photos and half-baked information regarding the city. I despise those who tried to damage the Davao City page with their ulterior motives of making Davao City as "dangerous, ugly and low class city" to the general public.
