On March 23, 2012, Globe Telecom launched their $700 million system transformation in Davao City. This translates to better mobile services along with a better customer service experience. The entire system transformation is is anchored on the tagline "A Bigger Globe for a Bigger YOU!" And the first roll-out for this new system is in... DAVAO CITY! In order to test the system, 21 bloggers and members of local and national media organizations were chosen to participate in a race around Davao City. Together with the Department of Tourism and AirPhil Express, Globe Telecom showcased their amplified services in a unique adventure around Davao City. I was chosen and grouped together with Alex Villafania of loqal.ph and Giovanni Flaviano of the People's Forum. We were Team GCash Remit Purple and I was the team's designated navigator. As navigator, I had to perform tasks and challenges separate from my team. Upon completion of my task, I'd inform my teammates where their next task is. Armed with an iPhone 4S and the Globe network, I raced around Davao City along with other navigators.

Davao Bloggers Night Walk
To celebrate the 75th Araw ng Dabaw, Davao Bloggers went out of their comfy cocoons to walk the streets of Davao and enjoy some of the simple delights that the city has to offer. Check this out... We walked around and took photos of the San Pedro Street area. We ate tonsss of street food. I loved the fresh buko (coconut) juice and the kwek kwek with unlimited fresh seaweed and cucumber salad. Then, we took a ride aboard an electric tricycle to go to our final destination for the night: the Hudyakaan Beer Festival. This is where we had our fill of chicken barbeque, pork barbeque, sisig, and rice washed down by glasses of ice cold soda. It was a fun, tummy-filling night of bonding and eating. I'm definitely looking forward to another bonding walk with the interesting guys and girls of Davao Bloggers.
Breakfast With A View
Sunday morning, after a long night of drinking and poker, the guys decided to go straight to our friend's house and stay there until the planned swimming get together in the afternoon. My friend lives in Orange Grove, Matina Pangi, some 15 minutes drive away from downtown Davao City. Upon arriving there, we ate some yummy hotcakes from McDonald's at the picnic kiosk some meters away from my friends house. The view was sooo nice and exhilarating. The breeze was a bit cool, and the air was fresh. Mount Apo is so beautiful, with mountains and forests around it. sHaaaayyyyyy... I'm gonna miss Davao!!! And I'm gonna miss my boys too. :( Orange Grove is a development project of Filinvest. This is NOT a paid post. KTHNXBAI!

Gwing on the Skyrider
Lakas no? Power lungs! I was kilometers away from them. I wasn't able to ride because I was terrorized by the stairs. Saaad.... This was during the last day of the Davao Food Appreciation Tour 2008.
Almost Over
One last dinner, and the first-ever Davao Food Appreciation Tour is over. I'm happy it has been successful and fun. Not to mention the stress will end. But I'm also sad coz Ate Aileen and Kuya Sweetie Jay are going back to Manila soon (not too soon though - YEY! :D ), and Avel and Mars are going back to Gen Santos. Hopefully, we have more participants next time. And of course... more food to enjoy. :)
