In Davao City, Freedom Park consists of two parks: the Millennium Park and the Clifford Park. The Millennium Park is located in the center island along the stretch of Roxas Avenue across Ateneo de Davao University, while Clifford Park is the wide and spacious intersection of Claro M. Recto Street (old Claveria Street) and Roxas Avenue, fronting Ateneo de Davao and Marco Polo Hotel. Clifford Park was named in honor of a United States Army commander who was killed in action during the liberation of Davao in World War II.

Gap farm is one of the oldest mountain resorts in Davao city, when I first came to Davao in early 1990s to attend college, Gap farm was still the most-talked-about holiday getaway in the city because of its soothing environment plus the countryside feel within the city.

Gap farm is located near the superhighway in the diversion road of Maa, Davao City, just less than an hour drive from the city proper. Its thick rainforest and rolling hills provide visitors with a unique relaxation haven. Read More: http://traveladventurejl.blogspot.com/2012/05/travel-advisory-board.html

If you are planning to explore Samal Island, you should not miss the Giant Clam Sanctuary. It’s located at the white sand islet across from Barangay Adecor, the fishing village beside Pearl Farm Resort. I had no idea about this tourist spot until our habal-habal driver informed us during our three-day Samal getaway last March.

“You will never regret visiting the Giant Clam Sanctuary; you will find clams of different sizes and colors there,” assured our boatman. I’m glad we listened to him and trusted his words, as the underwater creatures didn’t disappoint us. As we snorkeled in awe, we saw 15 to 40-inch neatly-arranged endangered clams; the young ones close to the beach and the huge ones at the deeper part of the sea.
