That's right. This is Davao City. Actually I thought of uploading pics of my hometown since my albums are jam-packed with digital arts and themes. It would be nice If I will introduce to you the place where I lived in.
Davao is not your ordinary city. It's actually filled with mysteries. I haven't explored the whole City yet (as in, the 2,444 sq. km), but I'll just post some pictures about the city. :))))
The City of Davao: The Premier City of The South, The City in Bloom, (Tagalog: Lungsod ng Dabaw; Cebuano: Dakbayan sa Dabaw) is the largest city on the island of Mindanao in the Philippines. It is the country's largest city in terms of land area, occupying 2,444 square kilometers. Its international airport and seaport are among the busiest cargo hubs in the southern Philippines. Davao City is also one of several cities in the Philippines that are independent of any province, though it is usually grouped with Davao del Sur for statistical purposes. The city is also the regional center for Davao Region (Region XI). Davao City has a population of 1,725,355 people (2005 estimate) in 240,057 households (2000 census). Metro Davao can also be dubbed as The City of Royalties or The Royal City, because of the presence of the kings and queens of the nature present in Davao. The Queen of Philippine Orchids which is Waling-waling, the King of Exotic Fruits, which is Durian, The King and Grandfather of Philippine mountains, Mt. Apo, the Philippine Eagle which is the largest eagle in the world and the King of Philippine skies, and the City itself which is the Biggest City in the Philippines in terms of land area. The country's biggest party address-The Venue, is also located in this metro city.
In recent years, the sprawling urban METROPOLIS of Davao has emerged as the business, investment and tourism hub for the entire southern Philippines. The city boasts of some of the finest beaches and mountain resorts in the country, and proximity to the Philippines’ most captivating diving spots as well as its highest peak, Mount Apo.
Asiaweek ranked Metro Davao among the 20 most livable cities in Asia, above Metro Manila and Metro Cebu and the number one as the most livable city in the country. Foreign Direct Investment Magazine conducted a study which named Davao City as the 10th "Asian City of the Future".

It looks like sa Iloilo Airport. Modernized na, nakakahiya yung sa Manila. But you told me your airport's way bigger than Iloilo right? Gaano ba yan kalaki?
