Angel's Hide-Away in Davao

Angel's Hide-Away in Davao

Last Friday there was a big birthday party and we were invited to the "Angel's Hide-Away" near SEAGUL Beach Resort in Dumalag / Matina / Davao.

The roads until Matina  are all in good condition and when we reached  the crossing you  must turn left and driving on a narrow road towards the sea. The road gets narrower. However, one has the feeling  that people  - and especially children – are becoming more and more and huddle on the small area.

But you have to move forward in a walking speed,then  you have  to turn left and you think that there is  no way anymore, so narrow it is. But the road goes on and then  - in a sudden -  there is  ANGEL'S HIDE-AWAY with a wonderful  view over the Golf of Davao.

.

The water is quite clear - just watch out for some coral blocks that can scratch one's legs at low tide. A part of the beach is reserved - so in the direction SEAGUL BEACH RESORT - because that  area is granted to the Philippine sea turtles for breeding.

The birthday party was nice and long. And  plenty to eat and drink. So, until the next time that we shall meet again in this windy, hidden, nice  Beach Resort.

Best regards,

1,2 km long bridge from Davao to Samal Island

A new -old  project in Davao

October 31, 2014

It's been already 10 years that a connecting bridge from Davao to the island of Samal was discussed  and planned . But then, it had been stopped.

Now a new attempt has been made. The initiator is a Japanese company that is engaged in planning and made a feasibility study on the said endeavor. And now in 2016 the construction should start  - yes, if all parties will join and the financing of approximately 10 billion pesos is secured.

Until now Samal is a dreamy spot that you can only reach by the car ferry or by boats . And quite many  individuals are living there, the real estate prices are still comfortably low and there is still a lot of unspoilt nature - if one disregards the coastal strip with many touristic beach resorts.

The whole island will take an upturn, because Samal has a lot to offer: At least two waterfalls with clear water, a sparse population, the largest bat colony (important for the banana plantations around Davao), no industry, crystal clear water at the beaches on the ocean side - just to name the most important facts.

And those who want to catch up with the next real estate boom in Davao, should enter now. By the way, in April this year the costs were said to be about 6 billion pesos !

With best regards,

Ludwig from Davao
