Floral float parade briefing on Thursday
BRIEFING of the Floral Float Parade, also known as Pamulak Kadayawan, is set on Thursday, at 2 p.m., at the Conference Room, 3rd Floor of the City Council building.

The Pamulak Kadayawan is scheduled on August 24.

It starts at exactly 8 a.m.

Route starts at Ramon Magsaysay Avenue to C.M. Recto turns right to San Pedro Street down to Legaspi Street and ends up at the Peoples' Park for the public viewing.

James A. Zimmerman, parade committee chair, said that aside from the traditional float entries, participants are encouraged to join in the alternative category, which is open to indigenous or extraordinary small vehicles.

The vehicles this year may include Minica-size cars, golf carts, mini tractors, push carts, motorela, karo, kalesa and even pedicabs.

The traditional float entries, he said, are expensive compared to the alternative category but a bigger prize is offered.

Prizes at stake are P300,000 for the first prize, P200,000 for the second placer and P100,000 for the third placer.

Two consolation prizes of P25,000 each will also be given.

^^normally abs cbn has its own tv ad being shown here in manila. they have been airing festival ads here kahit walang national coverage. they did that do kalilangan, dinagyang, sinulog, pamulinawen, panagbenga. so i wont be surprised if ill be seeing this kind of ad soon.
 
#210 ·
so far ala pa ako nakikitang new festival ad. but very likely theyll do it again. usually mga 15-30sec ad spots lang. last time nga may isang festival silang naka ad na.. kahit ako nagulat kasi di ko familiar ang event.
 
#212 ·
i guess so. many have already heard about it. peo not as familiar as sinulog or masskara maybe.

though when you say "kadayawan" here, people can easily connect it with dvo.
 
#213 ·
^^
yeah...ilang beses kasing napalitan ang name ng festival dito sa davao, before naging kadayawan festival talaga ang name...pero i tell you, for me this festival is the most colourful festival of all...at grabe ang saya...kaya nga tinatawag itong "Festival of Festivals"...

madami din ang nagkakamali, kahit taga davao, kasi dalawa ang malaking festival sa davao, Araw ng Davao at Kadayawan...minsan ang kadayawan npagkamalang Araw ng Davao minsa naman the other way around...

pero id be very glad kung makita nako na may ads ang kadayawan sa tv. para daghan magka interes mu-adto sa davao sa aug.
 
#220 ·
^^ bakit september? :D i think Tourism director Sonya Garcia gave a clip to ABS-CBN and i heard from Bong Aportadera( City Tourism head) they will put ads on airports around the country dunno if it's already installed .

yup Tagum currently running the Durian Festival right now , mas maaga kasi maaga ding nag si bungahan ang mga durian .
 
#221 ·
diba we own the monicker "home of the King of Philippine Fruits"? bakit napunta sa Tagum ang Durian Festival? No offense sa atong lil bro city Tagum pero Ive heard from ABS news, na Tagum is still looking for a nice moniker which will represent Tagum.. diba "Music Capital of Mindanao", then later they coined "palm capital of mindanao" pero i dunno what they retained.

and Durian is synonymous to Davao, alongside mangosteen and sweet pomelo.

AKAIK inasal is a ilonggo/visayan term for grilled, sugba, or barbecque... and since time immemorial, the term inasal has always been associated with the ilonggos especially bacolod and the process of grilling chicken.

though, it is an undeniable fact that there are also other varieties of food that can be asalled. ie, pork, or fish,
 
#231 ·
In my view grilled food is Sinugba in cebuano as sugba in "sutukil" and not inasal... the latter generally means lechon IMHO lang pero in other dialects di ko na alam. Pero any third opinion is welcome... help! :lol:

34 schools, firms set to join culinary fest

TWENTY-two schools and 12 establishments from all over Mindanao have already confirmed their participation in this year's Kadayawan Mindanao Culinary Festival (MCF).

Slated on August 18 to 21, the event is the biggest and the most prestigious culinary event in Mindanao.

Ruby Ochoa, of the Konkordans, the organizer of the event, said in Wednesday's edition of the Club 888 press forum at the Marco Polo Davao that the school participants came from General Santos City, Midsayap, Panabo City, Davao City and other areas in Mindanao.

"There are also at least 12 establishments that have already registered," Ochoa said, adding that the number of participants is only for the Kadayawan MCF.

"We expect that the number of school participants will reach to 30 and more than 20 for the establishments," Ochoa said.

Mary Ann Montemayor, managing director of the Konkordans also said the MFC this year will have two parts.

The first part, she said, will be the eliminations during the Kadayawan Festival, while the second part will be the summit.

The MCF Summit will highlight seminars, demos, valuable learning sessions and trainings to be conducted by experts from Manila.

"This year's MCF theme is 'Indigenous Flavors, Global Tastes'. The bigger challenge to the theme is learning on how to position our indigenous foods in the global market," she added.

Montemayor said Mindanao has so much to brag about in terms of culinary. Last year, she said they were able to elevate durian not just an ordinary fruit, but they were able to introduce it as main course, salad, and soup.

"We cannot promote destination without promoting our food. MCF is also a venue where we can encourage our SMEs to really continue to go into food business," Montemayor said.

MCF is initiated by the Davao Tourism Association (Data). (JGRS)
