Welcome to Davao City – the perfect place for you! Asiaweek has consistently ranked Davao among the top 20 best Asian cities to live in – for its total quality of life.
And while Davao has a bit of cosmopolitan flair, it has a lot to offer.
Water

Security

Cost of Living
Davao City has been hailed the second most livable city in Asia. True, when you live here, you won’t be spending too much; that’s if you are living a normal life.
Peace
With Davao City’s strict and good governance and with city’s prime mayor’s one-of-a-kind love and dedication to public service, this city has now the most peaceful city in Mindanao, or perhaps, in the whole Philippines.
Smoke-free
Davao City’s smoke-free ordinance makes it a healthy place to live in. This is one decree that every city should implement also. Smoking is stalwartly prohibited in public places and lawbreakers are immediately dealt upon once known. Smoking is only allowed in private places such as homes: when one smokes outside his home or territory, he will be penalized.
Climate
Davao season is typhoon free, and enjoys a pleasant tropical climate that hovers around 27-29C. There is no distinct wet and dry season but the urban centre can be humid, so people either flock to the beaches to cool off, or hie to the cool highland resorts.
