Taking advantage of the good weather and fresh air, the first day of the 33rd Kadayawan Festival begins with a lot of openings - from SUBANG SINUGDANAN and PANAGTAGPO to the PANANAM FOOD HALL opening at Magsaysay Park, there was lots to see. In the evening, the Talent Presentation of the HIYAS SA KADAYAWAN set the highlights of the event for day 1.




SUBANG SINUGDANAN (Tribal Fluvial Parade) and PANAGTAGPO (Tribal Convergence) a yearly reenactment on how the 11 tribes of Davao City make a living, where they traded or bartering goods in PADIAN or the market place in the earlier.

They presented cultural dances and music, living in harmony. And presenting each tribes Deputy Mayor with their Hiyas sa Kadayawan candidates.




This should be held at the Bankerohan river because it basically started there, this time the event was not focus in cruising but in the convergence of the 11 tribes, that is why there is a change of venue instead of the river they choose Magsaysay Park.




#Kadayawan MISA PASASALAMAT officiated by Archbishop Romulo Geolina Valles, D.D followed after Subang Sinugdanan.
