DAVAO CITY, July 8 (PIA)- The Kadayawan Village which showcases the houses and the culture of the 11 indigenous tribes of Davao City is expected to draw in crowds in this year's Kadayawan Festival.
" The difference from last year's Kadayawan Village is that there will be a month long of activities which we will be holding in the village and we encourage the IPS, the indigenous political structure, the tribal council that they themselves would oversee the construction of their houses which will be as authentic as possible," William Banzali, the community-based eco-cultural officer of the City Tourism Operations Office said.
Created in 2017, the Kadayawan Village located inside Magsaysay Park aims to show the culture of 11 indigenous peoples of Davao City (Ata, Klata, Ubo-Manuvo, Matigsalog, Tagabawa, Maguindanaoan, Kagan, Iranun, Tausug, Sama and Maranao).
Featured in the village are indigenous cuisine, songs, dances, rituals, arts, games, handicrafts and architecture.
In 2017, during the initial staging of the village about 10,000 visitors were recorded in the village.
Banzali said through the years that the IPs had increasingly participated in the building and the running of the village. "Their creative ideas are coming out and these are reflected in the architecture of their houses."
The CTOO is expecting more visitors for this year's tribal village due to the month-long festivities and activities held in the village. Also increasing tourist arrivals in Kadayawan will also contribute to a hike in visitor traffic to the village. (PIA/RG Alama)
