Marilog: The Perfect Escape from the City
At least 60 kilometers away from the heart of Davao City is a part of the city which is pollution-free, noise-free and fuss-free. Marilog District is part of Davao City’s Third District. It is about 1 hour away from downtown. It is essentially a forest which a few resorts and rest houses here and there. It is perfect for rest and relaxation. The air the refreshing and the view is breath-taking.
Here are a few glimpses at its splendor:
Formula Pete’s: Brews, Scoops and so Much More
Formula Pete’s. Sounds like the name of an auto shop, right? But it’s not. It’s a café and ice cream parlor located in the Wheels ‘n More strip. Unlike other cafés, this one is much less formal and much more like your friendly neighborhood barkada’s tambayan. The café’s bright interiors are embellished with news articles and posters that are proof of the proprietor’s love for cars. It gives an inviting and fun aura that is quite unusual for a café that takes its coffee concoctions seriously.

One of the things people do when vacationing in Metro Manila is shop at Greenhills where the clothes are stylish but cheap. But of course, not everbody has the luxury of vacationing and shopping in Metro Manila. Now, Davaoeños need not vacation in Metro Manila. You get almost the same experience over at Gaisano Mall’s Fashion Walk (2nd Floor). The boutiques in the strip sell almost the same stuff that are sold over at Greenhills. And, they better news is the clothes sell for almost the same price.
