Province of Davao Oriental:

Philippine Standard Geographical Code # 112500000

Davao Oriental is a vibrant province located in the southeastern part of Mindanao in the Philippines, its provincial capital is Mati City.

Known for its lush landscapes, rich biodiversity, and beautiful coastlines, it is part of the Davao Region and is bordered by the Philippine Sea to the east, the provinces of Compostela Valley to the west and Agusan del Sur and Surigao del Sur to the north.

Natural Attractions

Davao Oriental is blessed with natural attractions that draw visitors from around the globe. One of the province’s most famous landmarks is the Mount Hamiguitan Range Wildlife Sanctuary, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is renowned for its unique pygmy forest, where trees are much smaller than their usual size due to the high altitude and metal-rich soil. The sanctuary is also home to a rich variety of flora and fauna, some of which are endemic and rare, like the Philippine eagle and the Philippine cockatoo.

Beaches and Islands

Another significant draw is the province’s lengthy coastline which boasts pristine white-sand beaches and crystal-clear waters. Dahican Beach is one of the most popular in the area, offering an ideal spot for swimming, surfing, and skimming. The Pujada Bay, with its stunning bay walk, is an idyllic location for those who seek a peaceful environment, perfect for picnics and leisurely walks.

Culture and Heritage

Davao Oriental’s culture is a blend of indigenous customs and modern Filipino traditions. The province hosts vibrant festivals, like the Kadayawan, which is a celebration of life, a thanksgiving for the gifts of nature, and a showcase of the region’s culture. The Mandaya and Mansaka tribes, among others, are indigenous groups that add to the rich tapestry of cultures within the province, offering unique crafts, music, and dances.

Economy

The province’s economy is primarily agricultural with coconut, banana, and rice as its major crops. Fishing is also an essential industry due to its extensive coastal region, and the area is beginning to explore its potential for eco-tourism to increase provincial revenues and provide more employment opportunities for locals.

The Road to Development

Davao Oriental is also focused on improving infrastructure to support its tourism industry and provide better connectivity for its residents. With improvements in road networks, ports, and airports, the province aims to become more accessible and open to business opportunities and trade.

Davao Oriental, with its wealth of natural resources, rich heritage, and warm people, is a region looking forward to growth while maintaining the balance between development and nature preservation. It’s a destination where one can not only see the raw beauty of the Philippines but also experience the genuine hospitality for which Filipinos are known worldwide.
