A HOLIDAY FESTIVE JOURNEY AT THE HEART OF DAVAO

-
Marco Polo Davao recently invited me to witness their annual Christmas lighting event 
Just  a month before Marco Polo Davao would celebrate its 21st anniversary, the hotel lit up the iconic building in their traditional Christmas Lighting Ceremony at the hotel façade. The event was attended by the hotel’s regular guests, key people from government & private sectors and members of the digitals and print media. All were warmly welcomed by the Marco Polo Davao’s management team headed by General Manager Colin Healy and the Melodies of Marco Polo, the hotel’s choir.


This year’s lighting ceremony was dedication to the earthquake victims in Central Mindanao especially in the affected areas of North Cotabato.


“We have been through a lot significantly the recent natural events, but we have risen above those challenges. Before we close 2019, it is the perfect opportunity to give thanks and celebrate the Yuletide season with family and friends. Marco Polo Davao would like to dedicate this lighting ceremony to the earthquake victims of Mindanao by opening our hotel as a channel for people who wants to share and help even in small ways,” says General Manager Colin Healy.


Thank you for having us, Marco Polo Davao?

The short ceremony was followed by a small cocktail where attendees were served with food that sampled the buffet festivity in the coming Yuletide season. This year the hotel lit up the building with white accent with the Gingerbread House as the focal point.

Who says you cant put together a delightful coffee fix, good food and art?  SPARK COFFEE+CRAFTS  is not just your ordinary cafe in the streets of Marfori. In Davao, there may be a hundred and more cafes to choose from when all you wanted to do is to release stress after a days work. During the last leg of DDI's month long Davao food crawl, i was happy to find myself sitting in this really artsy cafe and being able to try out their food offerings is heaven! While waiting for the food, I took photos of the cafe to  show you whats inside Spark Coffee + Crafts. this cafe is owned by 5 cousins who at first was into arts and crafts  and  selling it online but later on decided to venture into owning up their own cafe where people cannot  just sit and have coffee alone but to also have an artsy experience  because Spark hold art workshops once in a while. Ive heard about Spark for quite sometime already but it is only until las weekend that i was able to visit the

Mom in her kitchen. See what ’ s cooking, too!   In the kitchen, recipes are passed to the next . The heir is always that wide-eyed kid watching in awe of how fast mom can whip up a family favorite, a recipe she inherited herself from grandma.    There are secrets mom will pass on to the heir —  a secret ingredient, an unknown process and the most basic rule: a well-organized kitchen. Everything should be in its place and within easy reach, it speeds up the preparation.    As secrets are passed on from one generation to the next, the kitchen keeps evolving. Today, the busiest room in the home is filled with gadgets that make the task of cooking easier and more convenient for the user: digital appliances, multi-function machines, and space saving storage system, in which the golden rule of  “ everything should be in its place ”  can be kept as sacred as the well-guarded recipes.    “ Kitchen cabinets today are highly-efficient. A drawer or a cabinet door can be opened with little to no
