  • Kadayawan Festival in Davao may be over but the fresh harvest of durian fruit is still coming in, hence this vendor's offer of an "Eat all you can Durian" from his location outside the Pasalubong Center beside People's Park. At only a cost of P89, grab the chance to feast yourself of its heavenly taste and smell right after lunch time until the evening. When asked when this promo will last, the stall owner merely smiled and said, "Until supply lasts."  (Photo by Jojie Alcantara)
