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

22 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

30 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 Warning: Grab Drivers Adding Toll Fees

Post image
• Upvotes

ALWAYS double-check your fare breakdowns and receipts after every ride, especially if you use cashless payments!

I was confused at first kay ngano naay additional charge. I gave the driver the benefit of the doubt kay basin Grab ang nasayop. I raised it with Grab, pero giingnan ra ko og sorry for the confusion and that the additional charge was for a toll fee.

Girl, asa man ang expressway diri sa Davao? 😭

Ma-refund ra siguro ni, but this is more of an awareness post for people nga usually nagdali and might not notice these extra charges. Check your receipts, especially if cashless mo kay dali ra kaayo ni ma-overlook.

NEWS Rac*sm against Bisaya, specifically against people from Davao.

125 Upvotes

Ako lang ba, or daghan naka pansin na mas nagalala ang pag disrespect sa mga bisaya-- stereotyping us as a group of people nga lisod makasabot, low iq, low comprehension etc. In every post and comments, hadlok kaayo hunahunaon nga dali ra para sa ilaha mu conclude always nga pag inani ka, inana, bisaya na dayun. In a way, mahunahunaan nako nga same na ni sa America in the near future.

Mahitabo kaya ni? Unsaon nato ni paghandle? Pasagdan ra ba nato sila?

I don't mean any harmful, physical retaliation. Pero how should we defend ourselves from this type of disrespectful statements?

Where do these hates coming from?

HELP / RECOMMEND Manghuhula sa San Pedro

• Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I came across this fortune teller stall beside San Pedro church. If I’m not mistaken his name is Tatay Rudy Bangoy.

Out of curiosity, nagpareading ako sa kanya. He was reading my palm and doing card reading on the side. He was accurate naman in reading my past. He also “predicted” some negative circumstances in the future. He asked me if gusto ba nako magpa “kudlit”, I said yes anyways.

I just want to know if naa’y nakapa reading sa iyaha and if accurate sad.

Thank you!

PLACES No lights in UM overpass

11 Upvotes

So, nangyari na nga yung kinatatakutan kong matapilok/ma-misstep sa overpass. I had a bad fall kanina dahil hindi ko nakita ang isang step before landing. I didn't have my flashlight (phone) kasi may mga dala din ako. Thank goodness there are students who helped me there. I hope malagyan na nila ng mga ilaw, lalo na't madaming gumagamit, especially students.

Sorry if mukhang kasalanan ko na di ko nilabas ang phone ko to light my way, but this is neglected public infrastructure. It is lgu's civic duty to maintain safe public spaces.

HELP / RECOMMEND Gcash Card Delivery Time in Davao

3 Upvotes

Hi, maayong gabii. I'm planning to order Gcash Visa card, and I'll be staying around Abreeza Mall. Dili ko from Davao but we will stay there for awhile and worried kay 1 month lang mi mag-stay sa address that I'm planning to use.

For those who ordered card before and naa sa Davao, how long did it take for your card to arrive? Pila ka days pa ang gihulat, and did the delivery rider had problems locating your address? Lalo na if sa condo mo ga-stay?

I'd appreciate hearing your experiences or suggestions. Thank you kaayo
