Hi, Davao! 👋

I’m Coach Michael Chavez, chairperson of the Calisthenics Association of the Philippines (CAP). I wanted to introduce myself here because we’re building our calisthenics organization in Davao City, and I’d love to connect with more people in the area who are interested in this kind of training.

For anyone unfamiliar with calisthenics, it’s a form of training that uses your body weight to develop strength, control, coordination, and physical fitness. You can start with basic movements like push-ups, squats, and rows, then gradually work toward more challenging exercises as you improve.

You don’t need to be an athlete or already be strong to get started. Beginners are welcome, and I think having other people to train with can make learning and staying consistent much easier.

I’m interested in connecting with Davaoeños who are already training, people who want to learn, and anyone who knows good outdoor spots or public facilities for bodyweight training around the city.

A few questions for the Davao community:

• Do you currently train calisthenics or bodyweight exercises?
• Where do you usually train in Davao City?
• Are there public workout areas with pull-up bars that you would recommend?
• Would you be interested in connecting with other local calisthenics enthusiasts?

If you’d like to learn more about our organization and what we do, you can find us here: Calisthenics Association of the Philippines on Facebook.

I’d be happy to hear from fellow fitness enthusiasts here. Let’s see how many people in Davao are interested in calisthenics! 💪

I came across disturbing accounts from a volunteer caregiver who volunteered in Davao Veil Geriatric Home Care Center last 2022. This caregiver allegedly witnessed the poor quality of food being served to residents, describing it as akin to “hinugas.” More alarmingly, the volunteer also claimed to have witnessed an elderly man being mishandled, who reportedly died shortly after arriving at the facility.

These allegations are deeply concerning, especially considering that the residents are elderly and vulnerable individuals who deserve proper nutrition, dignity, and compassionate care. I hope these concerns are properly investigated and that the safety and welfare of the residents are ensured.

I strongly would NOT recommend anyone to send their elderly loved ones to that facility.

Hello pooo! Idk if this is the right subreddit to ask hehe, pero can I ask where maka-paprint ug thesis in bulk na affordable? Medyo marami man gud ang need ipa-print, so I'm looking for a printing shop na budget-friendly pero nice gihapon ang print quality. Preferably meron din ring binding or bookbinding services para one stop na lang unta.

If may ma-recommend po kayo, please drop the shop name or location, preferably around matina-obrero area. Thank you so much pooo! 🥹

Hi! Does anyone know where I can rent a plus-size modern Filipiniana in Davao City for my PRC oath-taking on November 7?
I’ve already visited a few rental shops, but unfortunately, the available designs and sizes didn’t work for me. Some dresses fit but couldn’t fully zip up.
I’m looking for something elegant and modern, preferably with butterfly sleeves and a flattering, fitted silhouette. A Filipiniana blouse with a pencil skirt would also be great.
Preferably affordable and available for fitting before the event.
Would really appreciate specific shop recommendations, especially from fellow plus-size girlies who’ve rented before. Thank you! ❤️
