Rock jam
A local alternative rock band jams its way through a small but attentive crowd inside an equally small and unassuming pub. Composed mostly of youthful members, they express angst and aspirations about the world they move with.

About the city
Davao City (with population of about 1.4 million) is a bustling metropolis situated in typhoon-free zone with a land area of 244,000 hectares (including forested and agricultural portions), touted as one of the world’s largest city in terms of land area.
From its fertile mountain ranges and valleys, down to the rich blue waters of the gulf, Davao City is abundant with natural wealth and wonders. Its potable water is considered second cleanest water in the world according to the World Health Organization. This city is a progressive hub of commerce, education, tourism, arts, culture and wellness in Southern Philippines.
Davao City is home to a number of national pride such as Mt. Apo, the country’s highest peak, Waling-waling, the “Queen of Orchids”, Philippine Eagle, national bird and the world’s largest, and Durian, the “King of Fruits”, and the country’s premier celebration, Kadayawan sa Dabaw, the “Festival of Festivals.”
Davao finally became a city in October 16, 1936 when President Manuel Quezon signed Commonwealth Act No. 51, also known as the Charter of the City of Davao.
