Davao City has just gained its biggest endorser so far in the person of no less than the Honorable Donald Lee, Taiwan's Ambassador to the Philippines.
Lee, who was in the city recently to join the Chinese community in the local celebration of the China centennial, said Davao City is the best and safest city in the Philippines.
"With the peace and security in the city, Davao City has a special place in my heart," said Lee, on his tenth visit to the city.
His statement was expected to echo positively on Taiwan investors eyeing the city as investment area. The city has a vibrant Chinese community -- key economic players in the city's growth years before World War II -- with their contribution institutionalized by the local government in the creation of Davao Chinatown, a 50-hectare area in Sta. Ana district, for long an enclave of Chinese businessmen.
What highly impressed Lee is that Davao City is alive 24/7.
"Unlike other cities in Mindanao, where stores and business establishments close at 6 p.m., Davao City has a lot to offer to visitors even beyond that hour, he told the local media. "You can walk, and go out even at night and you can feel that you are safe here," Lee said.
