On August 30, 2024, I went to the Euro Xtreme Circus at
Davao Global Township, and it brought back so many childhood memories. I hadn't
seen a circus in years, so my excitement was through the roof. But this wasn’t
just any circus, it was a thrilling one, with over 25 amazing performers from
Europe and Latin America.
During one of my late-night Pinterest scrolls, I stumbled
upon a delightful DIY Minion bookmark that instantly caught my eye. I searched for the perfect bookmark design to present at the Davao BloggersSociety Corporate Social Responsibility Program last July 29 at the Field of Dreams Children Charity Foundation, and this charming Minion idea seemed
perfect. Not only is it a fun craft, but it's also a fantastic way to bond with
your kids. Crafting together encourages creativity and, in this case, can also
promote a love for reading. Whether you’re making it for yourself or with your
little ones, this DIY Minion bookmark is a simple yet delightful project that
will bring joy to your reading sessions.
As someone who has always found comfort and joy in arts and
crafts, being able to share this passion with others is a dream come true.
Recently, I had the incredible opportunity to volunteer with the Davao BloggersSociety during their community drive at the Field of Dreams Children’s CharityFoundation. This experience was not only a chance to give back but also a
deeply personal milestone for me.
The 39th Kadayawan Festival, presented by PLDT
Home, is going to be an amazing sensory experience for tourists and content
creators alike. It offers a rare opportunity to immerse oneself in the rich
local culture during Davao City’s “King of Festivals.”
From August 7 to 18, the Kadayawan Festival gives local and
international visitors the chance to experience the beautiful colors, sounds,
and tastes of the region. Kadayawan features the 11 tribes or indigenous people
of Davao, namely Bagobo-Tagabawa, Sama, Ata, Tausug, Bagobo, Itanun, Kagan,
Maranao, Matigsalug, Obu Manuvu, and Maguindanaon. It is the modern, urban
adaptation of their celebration of a bountiful harvest.
PLDT Home, a proud partner of this year’s Kadayawan
Festival, hosting several exciting events in the city, including the
much-anticipated Hiyas ng Kadayawan pageant.
On August 16, PLDT Home awards the title “Hiyas ng PLDT” to
Jane Rose Miones representing the Bagobo-Plata tribe at the Hiyas ng Kadayawan,
a unique beauty pageant in search of the modern Davaoeña who embodies the qualities of a perfect role model. Young and
accomplished women representing the 11 communities of Davao compete for the
title while showcasing their own tribe. The talent contest, for instance,
includes performing arts such as singkil, a colorful ethnic dance originating
from the Maranao people.
