Davao City – What More Can You Ask

What makes a place an ideal place to live would not depend on the topographic 
point where it is located nor about the festivals being celebrated but because of 
the abilities of the people dwelling on it. Individuals who strive for success and 
development are the types of persons you can meet in Davao City, headed 
by Mayor Rodrigo Duterte.

Being the largest city in the Philippines, Davao has proven much of its 
independence that size and population is never a constraint to achieve peace and 
order. “Criminals have no place in the city, except in jails, detention centers, and 
God forbid, in funeral parlors,” a statement bombed by the Mayor. 

Davao is also one of the leading tourist destinations especially for those people 
who would like to experience trekking the highest mountain in the country, 
Mt. Apo. An island known for its richness on majestic creations of beaches and 
resorts is Island Garden City of Samal, which is just 10 minutes boat ride away from 
Davao City.

Many big time investors have trusted their businesses in Davao which makes 
the city compete the National Capital Region in terms of availability of the latest 
trends in fashion, gadgets and other products of technology. Malls like Abreeza 
Mall  (Ayala Company), SM Lanang Premier, SM Davao, Gaisano Mall are the top
shopping areas where you can buy almost everything you need.

Many real estate companies have been developing the surrounding parts of the city 
to accommodate people who would like to live a very peaceful yet the most amazing 
place in the country. Large subdivisions and condominium units were built in order to 
make those people who decided to reside in the Davao can experience the luxury of 
architectural designs of the houses at very affordable prices. 

In terms of academic excellence, many globally competitive schools are in Davao and 
one of this is the University of Southeastern Philippines, which gained the 5th rank 
(Philippines) on the top 300 universities in Asia. Added to the list are Ateneo de 
Davao University  (where top-notch students are found based on results of the 2013 
nursing and accountancy examination), University of the Philippines (Mintal, Davao), 
San Pedro College of Davao and more.

Another thing that makes Davao stand out among other cities in the Philippines is 
that thousands of job opportunities can be grabbed here because of the existing
thousands of business establishments. That is the main reason why many people from
neighboring provinces chose to stay in the city in order to find a job that would sustain their living.

As Davao continues to develop to more progressive level, people who reside in this 
city are lucky enough to have the chance to attain success along with that anticipated 
overall progress. If you are looking for the perfect place to live with your family, with 
assured safety and provided with much resources, Davao could be one of the best options.

Visit Davao to experience all these things! Any time would be the best time to shoot
the breeze to this city in Mindanao. Davaoeǹos with sincerity would welcome you 
to their place like nothing but home away from home.

Punta Bulata Your home Away From Home.

Last summer we spent our vacation in Punta Bulata White Beach Resort & Spa, 

a top standard resort and hotel. It is the tropical paradise surrounds with natural 

beauty and dive spots in Cauayan, a municipality just before Sipalay City, Negros

Occidental hidden 154 kilometers and 4 hours drive off south of Bacolod City.

We went to the Southbound bus terminal and took a first trip from Bacolod

 to Cauayan. The trip was satisfactory, roads were smooth, well cemented and

 the view was lovely. It was a very long ride and thankfully there were a couple 

of passengers, who entertained passengers by singing and playing guitar.

Coming from the main highway, we got off at what seemed like the boundary 

of Cauayan and Sipalay.  Unfortunately, as soon as we arrived, it rained heavily 

and we waited at a small nipa store for more than one hour for our transportation to 

arrive. It was a rocky, up-down of more than half hour ride on unpaved road. There 

are also group of tricycles around that will take you privately for a hundred Pesos 

through the 2.5 km of winding and trampled rough road to the isolated resort.

We had booked and reserved a cottage nearby the beach but in the end we 

decided to stay in their hotel. The room is spacious, pleasant, comfortable bed, 

and well designed bathroom with complete toiletries. It has all the comforts of home 

that we exactly needed, plus the fantastic première sea view of the hotel. We had 

a balcony facing a garden with an infinity pool and on top of that the Ayu Spa

nearby our room. We availed the foot scrub and full body massage in the evening 

to relieve stress. The service was good and after the massage we had a good night sleep.

Punta Bulata Resort is known to have one of the finest and whitest beaches 
in Negros Island and its waters are teeming with marine and coral life. The beach, 
it is like a semi Boracay with one whole kilometer stretch of white sand beach. 
We enjoyed walking, snorkeling, playing in the white fine sand, swimming in privacy 
and exclusivity. It was awesome spending quality time with my family, lots of fun, 
very relaxing and great scenery.

Punta Bulata White Beach Resort is a nature’s lover’s paradise a place where you could unwind away from a stressful, busy life in the city, far from tall buildings and traffic. You can relax in peace without the noise of cars and cell phones and you can think of this wonderful resort as your own private paradise sanctuary, your home away from home.

SPICED RUBBED STEAK

INGREDIENTS

2 tsp                  chili powder
1 tsp                  ground cumin
1 tsp                  Spanish paprika
1 tsp                  garlic powder
1 Tbsp               salt
1 tsp                  pepper
4 pc                   Monterey Porterhouse Steak

FOR THE PEPPER SALAD 

1 pc                  red bell pepper, large
1 pc                  green bell pepper, large
1 pc                  yellow bell pepper, large
1/2 cup             extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp                dried thyme, toasted
                        salt and pepper to taste

STEP 1           In a bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt
                       and pepper.  Season the steaks on both sides with the spice rub.
                       Grill over moderate heat for 4 minutes per side until medium done.
                       Let steaks rest for 15 minutes.

STEP 2          To make the salad, char the skins of the bell peppers over hot  flame.
                       Place bell pepper in a bowl covered with plastic wrap to create
                       steam.  Using a small knife, scrape charred skin of the peppers then
                       remove the seeds and sliced into strips.  Toss peppers with thyme,
                       olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.

STEP 3          Serve the steaks together with the salad and deep-fried potato wedges.

TIP:               Season the steak about fifteen minutes before you put them on the
                      grill so the seasoning would be left on the steak, not all over the grill.
