A Close Encounter With Davao's Indigenous Tribes

The Kadayawan sa Davao is one festival that most Dabawenyos look forward to, myself included (although I'm not really a full-fledged Dabawenya just a self-proclaimed adopted one). There are many reasons to be excited about this mother of festivals and these include the various events lined up by the city government and its partners every year.

This year, I made sure to visit the Kadayawan Village at Magsaysay Park. What made my trip there more exciting was the presence of my two children whom I brought along last Wednesday. From the entrance, the festive mood at the cultural village  was already felt. There was a long line of people, young and old, wanting to get inside and see up close the tribal houses of Davao's 11 indigenous tribes and the tribesmen as well.

Mom's Day Out: A Breather for Davao Moms & Mommy Bloggers

It is always a welcome respite to spend time with like-minded people especially moms like me amidst our busy schedule. Thankfully, such respite happened last Saturday afternoon at Radisson Park Inn Hotel during "Mom's Day Out" organized by Sun Life Financial Philippines.

That afternoon was filled with moments of relaxation (thanks to the free back massage courtesy of Elysia Wellness Spa), laughter (thanks to our bubbly family life and financial management speakers) and learning about motherhood and preparing for a child's education. There were a lot of giggles and nods as the attendees got to relate to what the speakers were sharing.

Pino Tropika: Loving This Davao-Made Soap Enriched with Vitamins

With numerous brands of beauty soap now available on the market, it pays to choose wisely. One should not compromise quality over price.

In my younger years, I was not very particular about the soap I used. With no allergies to worry about, whatever was available in the house was fine with me. But not anymore as I need to protect my skin these days from harmful chemicals and the sun. As much as possible, I want soaps that have a mild scent and contain natural ingredients. In short, I go for the organics.

I recently found the right soap I can rely on and I know this is going to be for the long term. Its name is Pino Tropika and it's proudly made in Davao City. A product of My Skin Origins, it contains various fruit and plant extracts that are sure to nourish the skin.
