ANNOUNCEMENT 📢 r/Davao Community Reminder: Events, Meetups & Relationship Posts

20 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

As our community continues to grow, we'd like to clarify a few rules to keep r/Davao useful and relevant for everyone.

🚫 No R4R, Dating, or Disguised Relationship Posts

Posts looking for dates, hookups, friends-with-benefits, "looking for someone to hang out 😉", or any similar R4R-style content will be removed immediately.

This subreddit is not a place to find romantic or personal relationships. There are other communities better suited for that purpose.

Also posts requesting information about NSFW or Illegal activities will automatically be deleted.

✅ Activity & Meetup Posts Are Still Welcome

We do encourage posts looking for people to join you for activities, such as:

Sports (pickleball, badminton, running, etc.)
Concerts and festivals
Board games
Hiking
Community events
Hobby groups

The intent should be the activity itself, not finding a date.

Speaking of Events
🎟️ Event Posts Must Include Pricing

If you're posting about an event, whether you're organizing it or simply sharing it, you must clearly state whether it is:

Free; or
Paid (and include the ticket price or registration fee)

No hidden costs or vague "DM for more info" posts. Full disclosure helps everyone decide whether an event is right for them.

Posts that omit this information will be removed until updated.

Thanks for helping keep r/Davao a helpful resource for locals and visitors alike. If you're ever unsure whether your post fits the subreddit, feel free to message the mod team before posting.

Happy posting! 🌴

ANNOUNCEMENT [Mod Announcement] Stricter Enforcement of Reddiquette + New Flair System

28 Upvotes

Hi r/Davao, mod team here. 👋 We’re rolling out a flair tagging system for rule violators, with stricter enforcement specifically for Reddiquette violations (personal attacks, harassment, hate speech, bad-faith trolling, etc.). This is to keep discussions productive, respectful, and welcoming for everyone in the community.

Here’s how the strike system will work moving forward:

S1 (Strike 1): 15-day ban from the subreddit

S2 (Strike 2): 30-day ban from the subreddit

S3 and beyond: Permanent ban

Users who receive strikes will be flair-tagged accordingly, and to be clear and transparent: we will provide receipts (screenshots/links to the violating comments or posts) before issuing any strike or flair. No vague warnings, no mystery bans.

This isn’t about being overly strict, it’s about drawing a clear line, especially when it comes to Reddiquette. You’re free to disagree, debate, and criticize ideas, but attacking people or derailing discussions won’t fly anymore.

As always, if you think a strike was issued in error, you may reach out via modmail calmly and respectfully. We’re happy to review.

Salamat, and let’s keep r/Davao a solid space for real conversations.

Hello. I’m from Cebu and have been driving there for a few years na. Transferred here sa Davao last August for the PLE review and have been driving here for 2 months na. All I can say sa ako na observe so far kay grabe ka reckless sa mga driver diri? Apil ang Grab car reckless magpa dagan. Ako lang ba kay dili ko taga diri or kamo sad naka bantay? Haha

Got diagnosed way back pandemic era pa but teleconsult lang to sya sa New Hope kay Dr. Conde and gusto ko mutry ug face to face para sad makapareseta kog tambal and naay mastoryahan inig dili na kaya. Naa nakoy idea tagpila ang for initial consultation sa mga psychiatrists and psychologists pero nalibog ko if required ba jud ang testing for diagnosis? Kay sauna one call lang na-diagnose nako.

Willing man ko mugasto basta for my mental health pero if naay mas barato for testing na tarung, ddto ko. And sa mga nakaexperience na, musta sya? Like naay oral and written parts? Naa man gud koy tendency mag-overthink about tests and my performance mao gusto nako isure na ready ko 😅

Last night an lakas ho ng ulan around Matina. Kuya manong taxi driver? Anong point ng side mirror mo kung bigla kang liliko sa lane ko?! Kalinya na ng hoodko yung rear right door mo. Naka stop na yung nasa unahan mo dahil sa stop light ako paabante dahil maikli pila sa lane ko tas bigla kang liliko and di ka pa nag signal light.

Ohhh baka sasabihin mong “nanginabuhi ra man ko sir” same kuya where on the same boat. Papunta akong work dahil graveyard shift ako.

Tangina nyong mga kamote sa daan!! Scatter pa yung iba while driving.

Photo context: this photo was taken later on sa second stop light near sabungan.

FOOD outraegous grab delivery fees

I was auditing and doing my finances just earlier this afternoon, that which includes how much I spend on Grab. Out of curiosity, gitry nako ug check kung tigpila delivery gikan sako apartment ug sa favourite nako samo neighborhood and in.ani ka ridiculous bayad karon sa delivery. Mind you, 350 meters lang siya gikan sako apartment. Simbako.

If you're looking for a sign to stop using Grab and other delivery apps, this is it. Kana na presyo nakapalit na ka ug 1-2 ka meals sa karenderya. Sa kalala sa panahon karon ug naa pud padulongay na Super El Niño, maayong panahon na jud ni mag control2 ug disiplina sato mga lifestyle. Kung malakaw, ilakaw nalang sa karenderya 🥹 di naman tawn ni maayo

HELP / RECOMMEND Recommend a tailor [20 Characters]

I've got a few oversized shirts that I really want to turn into muscle tees. I really like the color and the designs for some of them kasi, and I really don't want them collecting dust

Does anyone know a tailor for the job?

I'm afraid with trying tailors near schools/streets kasi the last time I had a few fits adjusted, they didn't really follow my instructions well. :/

TRANSPORTATION Davao City Mall Overnight Parking: Allowed or Just a Penalty?

Post image
24 Upvotes

CTTO of the photo.

Saw this on the blue app.

Just wanted to clarify the overnight parking rates indicated here.

Are these considered penalty charges for vehicles left overnight, or can we actually arrange for overnight parking at these malls?

For example, can we intentionally leave our vehicle overnight, pay the corresponding fee, and pick it up the following day or whenever we return?
Has anyone tried this, particularly at SM Lanang or Gaisano Mall Davao?

Thanks in advance!
