If we go a little further north we can visit the seaside province of Davao Oriental, where the sleeping dinosaur resides. A good 2 hours drive from Davao City, Mati, Davao Oriental is blessed with lots of white sand beaches that could compete with Camiguin.
Davao Oriental is home of the seaweed industry that is used for making gulaman. It is also the mother location of the original Menzi Pomelo. Before Nenita came into fame, Menzi Pomelo was already making a name. Mati's City Hall is located on top of a plateau that gives you a panoramic view of the beaches surrounding it.
