終戦72年を迎えた今日、ダバオ市ミンタル地区の日本人墓地にて、日本人戦没者慰霊祭が行われました。ダバオ領事事務所百々領事をはじめ、日本人会、日系人会、日本人商工会議所などから多数の参列者が献花を致しました。
ミンタルは、戦前は日本語で『民多留』とも記載され、主にマニラ麻（アバカ）生産に従事する日本人移民が多数在住する日本人街として栄えた街です。街の名も、民が多く留まるという意味で民多留と名付けたと言われています。
ダバオ市は現在、1.2億ペソの予算でダバオ市ミンタル地区の日本人街跡地を整備する計画を進めており、ダバオ開拓の父とされる太田恭三郎記念碑や日本人墓地の整備、博物館の建設等が行われる予定です。

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
