フィリピン政府は、8月18日金曜日を特別休日にすることを発表した。その週明け月曜は、国民の休日ニノイ・アキノの日となっていることから、カダヤワン祭りの週末は４連休となる。ドゥテルテ大統領の代理として、特別秘書のメディアルディアが承認のサインを行い決定したもので、宣言書には制定理由として、「ダバオ市の人々に適切にお祭りを祝う機会を与える」と記されている。
カダヤワン祭りは、11の少数民族の連帯と豊かな収穫を祝うダバオで最も大きなお祭りで、今年で32回目となる。2017年は8月14日～20日に開催予定で、市観光局によると今年のカダヤワン祭は最大規模となることを予定しており、戒厳令下にも関わらず昨年同様の15万人か、それを上回る見学客を見込んでいるとのことである。
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
