Our 11 Tribes was recognized on 2010 by our President Rodrigo Roa Duterte, when he was still a Mayor in Davao City. He appointed deputy mayors for each tribe to represent the Muslim and Lumads in the city of Davao.

Davao City is the only city that takes pride the unique and diversified culture of tribes, that is why we celebrate with the United Nation -- the International Day of the World's Indigenous People every 9th of August as we take honor, respect and protect their cultures and traditions.

And as we celebrate Kadayawan this coming August 15 (OPENING happened at People's Park, 5PM), we must also take pride of our tribal and ethnic roots. And to give thanks for a bountiful harvest. Indeed DAVAO LIFE IS HERE.
