On My Third Attempt, I Finally Got To Visit Davao
It was a case of try and try until you succeed. The first time I attempted to visit Davao was in 2016. I had bought the flight tickets, but I suddenly got hired by a company where I applied. In 2020 I tried again; booked the flight, talked to a friend who agreed to host me, and planned a side-trip to Bukidnon (even paid for accommodation there), but then the pandemic happened. I was beginning to think that the universe didn’t want me to visit Davao.
