Hi there! From Davao eh? Cool! I heard women from Davao are the sweet, sexy, smart, charming, faithful... etc etc... lol (all good ones though)

Bansalan is not that far from the city proper... you'll like it there.

[Tawi2]

Bansalan is near makilala and Digos,not very interesting to be honest,its at the foot of Mt Apo on the way to Kidapawan,women from Davao are sweet,beautiful and irresistable just like a venus fly trap to a langaw :ARsurrender::icon_lol: and they are equally as deadly :cwm24::icon_lol: Hope you enjoy your trip :xxgrinning--00xx3:

It's good to read about your line of work and, not least, your fascinating hobbies ... both of which are bound to bring you into regular contact with lots of interesting people.

:Erm: Never been to Florida,:NoNo: I'm afraid. But I HAVE visited the Phils twice in the past twelve months. And indeed I married my Filipina sweetheart in Tagum ... capital city of Davao del Norte ... just last December.

I note your girlfriend is from Davao del Sur Province ... on the southern side of Davao City, and wish you well on your forthcoming trip to meet her. :xxgrinning--00xx3: What time of year do you plan to go?

[D&G]

women from Davao are sweet,beautiful and irresistable

and sweet smelling like Durian? :Erm::icon_lol:

[Tawi2]

Humot kaayo ang durian :xxgrinning--00xx3:
