This year’s Davao Kawayawan Festival will be devoted to abundance and will take place in August. The new format of the Kadayawan festival has a goal to attract more tourists, both domestic and international.

Philippine Information Agency reports that the festival is a celebration for the Dabawenyos, but it will also invite others to participate.

Art Boncato, chair of the committee on publicity and media of the Kadayawan festivities this year during the Club 888 Forum of the Marco Polo Hotel on Wednesday stressed that as Davao celebrates its bounty there is a need to value the earth, the land, the natural resources and harvest.

According to Philippine Travel Blog, the country’s officials plan to put up billboards in 13 airports nationwide in key cities of the Philippines about Kadayawan Festival where Mayor Rodrigo Duterte endorses the festivities and invites tourists to celebrate with the Dabawenyos in a city that is a must see destination of the country.

Art Boncato, the chair of the committee on publicity and media of the Kadayawan festivities, is quoted commenting on this festival.

“The plans are being finalized and if they get the approval then the billboards will speak of Davao City and the Kadayawan Festival,” Boncato said.
