i am bob Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 Just now, Dr. Shiva said: If the other side of Davao what's about Carmen? It lies between Davao and Tagum City. Tagum would actually be the better choice... A couple malls, a pretty good public market, and the place is made to get people out and about..! Short bus ride into town - and a van isn't much more for cost... Hmm.. have to check the van terminal in Davao... Victoria Mall? Not sure... The problem with Carmen is lack of facilities... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Shiva Posted October 7, 2017 Posted October 7, 2017 There is also Panabo City. Nearer to Tagum City than to Davao but still just one bus ride away from both cities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway you live in the Davao region. Can I ask you some questions about the region please? Edited October 8, 2017 by Dr. Shiva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm (apparently ) nowhere near as knowledgeable about the area as the other members that have been helping you but I'll answer what I can, sure.

What did changed since then in Davao? Is it still clean? (But some areas in streetview looks somewhat messy.) A document from year 2011 shows planned improvements till 2017 or 2018. These are a bridge between Samal and Sasa, reorganizing the jeepney routes and using route numbers and coloring on them, inventing a bus rapid transport or an LRT, some more malls and improved waste management (water and garbage.) What is realized of these all? I believe only the malls. 6 hours ago, JDDavao said: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is realized of these all? I believe only the malls. Davao is still clean. I see people sweeping along the main thoroughfares. Off the mains, there has been some improvement in my area with added centralized garbage/recycling bins but littering is ingrained and has not abated. From your list, I believe only the new malls have been realized but I stick to just three or four and so can't tell you where the new ones might be. I will say that there has been a citywide push for widening roads and adding new drainage/sidewalks. This results in new water mains being added under the pavement and utility poles being replaced and relocated. Coming home in a downpour along some newly installed drainage on McCarthur, however, showed that a lot of the new drainage is nearly useless against flooding. At least as it is now. Maybe there's a final connection that needs to be made yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frozenmystic28 Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 (edited) Samal is also a good choice if you want a place near the beach. I would love to suggest Marilog district, but since you're are foreigner, hmm nevermind. Edited October 10, 2017 by frozenmystic28 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real estate prices started to climb very fast in the last few years. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
