During the last Kadayawan Festival, some Metro Manila bloggers visited our city to join the festivities. One of them was famed Filipina WP Theme designer, Gaile “Kutitots” Villanueva.
In this video interview, she talks about Davao City, the Kadayawan street kids dancers, and the food:

I went back to Cafe Andessa. But this time, we were hosted by Sue Ann Orig as part of the Davao Food Trip.

The Davao Food Trippers ordered Ceasar’s Salad, Spicy Chicken Wings, Laing, Callos, Crispy Fried Buntot ng Tuna, Rosemary Grilled Chops, and Chicken Lollipop. Among these, the Chicken Wings and the Chops were the big hits. I also loved the Callos, while Blogie finished off most of the Buntot ng Tuna. All of their food were home-cooked, and didn’t scrimp on the ingredients.
Kadayawan is dubbed as the festival of festivals. What began as a simple thanksgiving for bountiful harvests has evolved into one big party of parties, with the highlight on the diverse groups of Davaoeños. A celebration of our indigenous cultures, food, arts, hobbies, past and present cultures, Kadayawan has become the event to experience and enjoy in Davao City every year because there’s something for everybody.
Here’s a video introduction of and invitation to Kadayawan 2008:
