A Sneak peek for Kadayawan 2008

This years Kadayawan Festival falls on August 14-17, 2008. Better make yourself available on this dates as this years Kadayawan organizers and Davao Tourism Office promises this year will be the best Kadayawan ever.

Below is a rough television ad courtesy of Bong Aportadera and his bro Mikee for the 2008 Kadayawan Festivities in Davao City, Philippines. What’s unique about this is that the main cast are all Deputy mayors of the 10 Tribes in Davao City.

Madayaw, Kadayawan!

BALIK means to come back.

BAYAN means hometown or homeland.

So if you put the words together,

BALIKBAYAN means someone who is coming back home.

Balikbayan Box is filled with various gifts and goodies that range from cds, shoes, lotions, canned goods etc sent or brought by Filipinos leaving abroad to be given to relatives and friends back in their homeland, the Philippines
