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

19 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

26 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.

TRANSPORTATION Mintal Jeepney maybe the reason why I say yes to phase out

26 Upvotes

Neutral lang ako niyang Jeepney phase out, I sympathise with them but I can see also benefits of buses. Pero may scenario talaga na hindi ko ma-gets.

Saan ba nagabase ang Mintal jeeps sa rates nila? From Catalunan Pequeno to Matina crossing is 6.2km(basehan ko ang gmaps) which is sa new rate ngayon is 14.50php(student) 18.00php(regular) pero sisingil sila ng 20php.

And may nangyari pa sakin nung nagbayad ako ng 15php(since student ako), nagreklamo siya at pinaandar ang jeep kahit hindi pa ako nakababa ng maayos.

Sa mintal jeeps ko lang siya na experience, and mas malala pa if may konduktor. Hindi ka na talaga bibigyan ng sukli.

NEWS Are there any protests sa city?

12 Upvotes

I’ve lived here my whole life and rare lang ako makakita nang mga taong nagpoprotesta. I see a lot of people in Luzon protesting against the government and such, so I also thought na meron here sa Davao.

Or is it because I don’t live sa City proper? I live sa north and an hour drive papunta sa downtown so maybe may mga protests na nangyayari pero di ko lang ma-timing when it happens.

TRANSPORTATION Just who is responsible: City urban planning of sidewalks in Davao City.

7 Upvotes

I can see that all throughout Macarthur highway from Matina crossing even up to the city center there is very poor planning and even sloppy design for the city's walkability. From tight and even non-existent sidewalks, Uneven and literal slopes, Cracked damaged pavements and a Post blocked path its all observable around. How did this get budgeted and planned for?

Looking at things deeper I am asking people with related experiences or knowledge on how this kind of development came to be about? and who are mainly responsible?

Highlight
Is there no standard size for how wide and what a sidewalk design is?

Are there no agencies/organizations that checks for proper execution of these projects?

Im a student and I pay my taxes too.
