    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 and they are equally as deadly Hope you enjoy your trip



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    Welcome, Derek. Thankyou for your kind words of introduction. We're very pleased to learn that you find our friendly forum helpful and informative.

    Derek..
    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.

    Never been to Florida, 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. What time of year do you plan to go?

    If I read this correctly....

    ... You've only ever departed these shores for Florida in the past..

    ... and now you've travelling to Mindanao !

    I don't think you could get a greater contrast if you tried.

    BE PREPARED TO HAVE YOUR EYES OPENED !

    Enjoy your time

    Welcome welcome
    It's good to have money and the things that money can buy, but it's good to check up once in a while to make sure you haven't lost the things that money can't buy.
