“AN ORDER RECREATING
THE STEERING COMMITTEE OF THE 2015 KADAYAWAN SA DABAW FESTIVAL AND FOR OTHER
PURPOSES”
Big events should have big
preparations. In order to ensure success of this year’s celebration of Kadayawan
sa Dabaw Festival, the Office of the City Mayor released this Executive Order to
mobilize the local government and other concerned parties. This aims to
effectively balance the concerns of the tourism industry and the protection of
the rights of the city’s indigenous peoples in the city’s celebration of the
festival.
Leading the committees for Davao’s
biggest festival, the office of Mayor Rodrigo Duterte ordered to create the
2015 Kadayawan sa Dabaw Festival Executive Committee as well as specifying
their functions. In this EO, official events were also declared.
Be informed. Be excited. Madayaw
Dabaw!
Funfacts: Did you know that the
first title of the feast "Kadayawan sa Dabaw" was "Apo Duwaling Festival"? It was a contraction from the things the city was known
for: Mt. Apo, Durian and Waling-Waling. The first festival
was done in 1986 which
was aimed at promoting Davao as a peaceful
city. In 1988, "Apo Duwaling" was renamed "Kadayawan
sa Dabaw" which is Dabawnon expression for anything that is good, excellent and brings great fortune. It was derived from the aboriginal word "dayaw" meaning
good or "madayaw" referring to things of great value,
profitable, superior or beneficial.
