OUR FIELD TRIP "HOLIDAY" IN DAVAO CITY, PHILIPINES

THE FIELD TRIP AT DAVAO CITY

A trip with our buddies

   

On September 23, 2023, is my first trip, my first trip was with our friends from UIC, Abi, Mech and Rudolf, and also my friends from ULM, UB (Hadad, Fuji, Zhulfah, Emma, Shofiya) They took us around the city of Davao. The first trip was we went to the Davao museum. The place is about 25-30 minutes from the bankerohan campus, in this museum we saw many objects and also the history related to the city of Davao. we also saw various tribes in Davao. in the museum we tried to play traditional musical instruments from the city of Davao.

        After from the museum we decided to go to magsaysay park to see the traditional tribal houses in davao city, not only enjoy the park there but we also see the ocean, ride a bicycle and buy food and fruit ice cream sold there.

After went to Magsaysay we decided to go to roxas night market, but before going there we decided to walk to china town first.

and finally we had dinner at roxas night market, we also met my friend from MSU Malaysia, ayunie there, there are many Muslim sellers there, so almost all the food there is halal. The food at roxas night market is very good and we are addicted to going back there.

Before finally going back to the main campus, we decided to walk because we wanted to go to city hall, so we walked from roxas to city hall. I would say thank you to our friend in Philipines (abi, mech, rudolf) because of them we can go walk around Davao city.

EDEN NATURE PARK AND RESORT DAVAO!

    For the next field trip, on Saturday, September 30, we went to Eden Park, which is a nature reserve located about 1 hour from Davao City, Eden Park is a highland so the air there tends to be cooler and cooler than in Davao City, we can also see the beach from Eden Park, we went there with ULM students (hadad, emma, shofiya, zhulfah) also accompanied by Mrs. lolly.

    We started our tour with a shuttle tour. We also had a tour guide in the shuttle tour car, and we learned that the Garden of Eden is very large and beautiful and still natural. During the tour, we stopped at several iconic areas in EDEN Park. Our first stop was the Amphitheater & Flower Garden. Since we first entered this area, we were presented with views of colorful flowers, including very beautiful sunflowers.

    The second place we went to was Tinubdan, where we got to see one of the traditional tribal houses including the musical instruments, and the clothes worn by the tribe, it is an education for the people to appreciate their heritage (original culture of Mindanao).

    Next stop is Lola's Garden, located in one of the most beautiful gardens in Davao City. Here we see flowers in the "well" and from here we can see Davao City and its beaches, because this is the highest point of the Garden of Eden. we also saw a lot of bamboo and eagles here.

what was quite surprising there, I could see peacocks that were just released, we also tasted "halo-halo" which was very delicious plus ube, we also didn't forget to take a photo in front of the words "I love Eden Park" and we went to enter into a small maze.

After there we returned to the starting point to prepare for lunch, there we could eat as much lunch as we like because the concept is "all you can eat".

SAMAL ISLAND 

    

    On October 8, my friends and I had another field trip, this time we went to Samal Island. we leave at 6.30 when we arrive at the beach we have to take another boat for 45 minutes to reach the first spot, here there are five spots with two snorkeling spot, one spot for snorkling and dragon boat one white beach and one island, and we return to campus at around 4.30. We went there with Sir Rene, and my friend from Myanmar Pyae.

This is me,Huda,Hadad and pyae before snorkeling 

Another interesting experience is eating on a boat with seafood that is still very fresh and tastes very good. 

This is our second destination

This is us at our third destination we rode dragon boat.  

this are our pictures at the last spot.

    I was very happy during my field trip in Davao City, especially on Samal Island because my city is quite far from the sea, and it was the first time I went snorkeling and could see such beautiful coral rocks. Don't forget, I really enjoyed seeing the islands and beaches with their beautiful views, this is an experience that I will never forget.
