Pasko Fiesta (Christmas Scenes) in Davao
Text and photos by Jojie Alcantara

As a proud Dabawenya, I went around to shoot the spectacular lights and festive atmosphere in my city through the annual Pasko Fiesta sa Davao, thanks to the city government and supporting sectors. Throughout December, certain roads are blocked to accommodate makeshift stalls and eateries, for fun walks and activities in the evenings. It does cause traffic in most areas for public transports, and commuting may be a bit difficult. Then again, rain or shine, people were everywhere.

Sharing with you scenes I captured one drizzling evening from People's Park to San Pedro Street. Davao may be quieter during this season but we make up for it through bright lights and cheerful sprits.
