The Philippine Festival like Kadayawan is a cultural events that happens every month of August. This is a one week celebration for Davawenyos to thank the nature for their bountiful harvest of fruits.
The Kadayawan word is derived from the Mandaya word "madayaw" a nice, warm and friendly greeting of Davawenyos.
Long time ago, Davao's ethnic tribes residing at the foot of the Mt. Apo would converge during a bountiful harvest. The ritual serves as their thanksgiving to gods particularly to "Manama"
This August. Its an exciting and enjoyable place in the Philippines where the tourist is updating and going to Davao to watch and experience the beauty of Kadayawan and the warm welcome of the Davawenyos to other..
