Hi, Davao Traveler! Have been to the Shrine Hills? You should! At Shrine Hills you get a chance to see a panoramic view of downtown Davao, the Davao Gulf, the Samal Island, and the magnificent Mount Apo. It is also the home of many TV and Radio Broadcasting Studios like ABS-CBN, GMA Networks, ABC 5, etc. The popular Jack’s Ridge Restaurant is located in Shrine Hills. If you wanna play gulf on top of the hills, there is Andrew’s Golf.

And if the sound of the name makes you think of something holy, in many ways it is. The Shrine Hills is known for grounding the site of Shrine of the Holy Infant Jesus of Prague — a church, seminary and meditation center for the devout Catholic Christians in Davao. People go there for various reasons: to pray, to play with the kids, or to unwind with the whole family. You should try to go there especially on Sundays. You will see how fun and loving the Filipino family can be at the Shrine Hills.

The first blog entry for the year 2007 has to do with Davao’s ancient past.

Would you believe that Davao was once covered with bodies of water? Well, at least that’s what this photo  is trying to covey. Located at the hilltops of Jack’s Ridge Restaurant in Shrine Hill Matina, these taklobo shells tell us something about Davao historal past. The engraves text says:

Unbelievable as it may seem, the land you are standing on was under
the sea millions of years ago. These taklobo shells right here at Jack’s Ridge
are silent witness to Davao’s watery past.

True or not? You’d be the judge.
