ダバオ市では11月末からクリスマスシーズンの終わりまで、パスコフィエスタという長期の祭りを毎年恒例で開催している。ダバオ市観光事務所（City Tourism Operations Office）が取り仕切り、市が主催するこのお祭りは、近年は、「子どもたちのクリスマス」をイメージの一つとしている。
今年のテーマはズバリ「サンタのおもちゃ工場」だ。サラ・ドゥテルテ＝カルピオ市長の考案したこのテーマは、子どもたちがクリスマスプレゼントを受け取る時の笑顔がモチーフだという。開会式が行われた市役所には、カラフルなライトや装飾など、クラシックなクリスマスのイメージがきらびやかに広がっている。開会式当日は雨が降っていたものの、ダバオ市民の熱気はやむことはなかった。
12月の間、市の公園などでは、子どもたちに無料でアイスクリームなどを配るという。そんなクリスマスムードは、子どもたちだけではなく、子ども心を胸に秘める大人たちにも笑顔をとどけるだろう。

Thank you for your continued support of Davao’s portal site “Davaotchi”. “Davaotchi” is an information portal about Davao that has been running for about seven and a half years since September 2016 with the aim of conveying the charms of Davao to Japanese people in Japanese and making them more aware of Davao. Thanks to everyone’s support, we have gained a certain amount of recognition, such as being featured in a magazine, and many people have started to hear the term “Dabaotchi”. On the other hand, we have prioritized the mission of conveying the charms of Davao to as many Japanese people as possible, so there is almost no profitability, and we have allocated the profits generated from other businesses to the site management, but we have no plans for the future. As a result of careful consideration of scalability and development, Davaotchi has decided to recruit supporters who can support Davaotchi in order to better manage the site. We considered charging for the site or introducing a subscription plan, but we wanted to deliver information about Davao to as many people as possible, so we decided to simply ask for support from Davaochi fans first. You can support us using PayPal or credit card (debit card) below. We look forward to your cooperation. See more news articles
