Araw ng Dabaw 2014

The people of Davao City will be marking this year’s Araw ng Dabaw festivities on March 16. The day, which falls on a Saturday, is a special non-working holiday in the city as declared by Republic Act 7551.


The law, which was enacted in 1992 during the time of then-President Corazon Aquino, says that officials of Davao City shall “lead appropriate and meaningful celebrations and activities participated in by officials and employees of the national government agencies or instrumentalities, civic, religious and nongovernment organizations, and private companies” doing business there.
