Propel for Davao City

As we see now the Davao City is one of the most beautiful place in this country because of the people how they handle the city to make the city remain beautiful not only in the resources but also the culture what we have and attitude of every people live in this city, even though some foreigner here ask many questions davaoñoe’s neither understand the question or not they find a way to understand the questions they use the sign language so look how davaoñeo’s very hospitable that’s why a lot of foreigners here stay and live for their whole life and find the person they love and to care for them. Davao city have many beautiful site or view, some foreigner go here to the place in personal. Where Davao City came from the region's name is derived from its Bagobo origins. The word davao came from the phonetic blending of three Bagobosubgroups' names for the Davao River, a major waterway emptying into the Davao Gulf near the city. The aboriginal Obos, who inhabit the hinterlands of the region, called the river Davah (with a gentle vowel ending, although later pronunciation is with a hardv or b); the Clatta (or Giangan/Diangan) called it Dawaw, and the Tagabawa called it Dabo. To the Obos, davah also means "a place beyond the high grounds" (alluding to settlements at the mouth of the river surrounded by high, rolling hills). When asked where they were going, the usual reply was davah (pointing towards the town). Dawaw also refers to a trading settlement, where forest goods are bartered for salt and other commodities. Meanwhile, a city is a large town or a populated urban area where the busiest people can be found. It is ruled by a Mayor (the highest position in a local government unit), a Vice Mayor, and City Councilors. The mayor serves as the “Chairman of the City Council”. The City Council is responsible for the proposal of bills and city ordinances; they do voting every time there is a proposed bill. Only the Mayor can reject any decision made by the City Council. In a certain region, most business deals are done in the city. In addition, different buildings in different sizes can also be found in the city. On the other hand, higher cost of living, pollution, traffic, higher rates of crimes and over populated areas can be experience in the city.

They said Davao City is a very safe place just like the quote “Davao ,Life is here” so for that very simple quotation given, other country will it say the foreigner they think first which part of the Philippines they want to stay to make their self-secured so here in the Davao City our authority here is very active and also the government that’s why when the entrepreneurs starts fast growing the Davao city also wants it too, look now in the streets and outside in your home they have many difference to the other city in our country. Our very own Davao City is very nice place that everyone can live here in a secured place that you need to mind to the some people who want a go to jail. Davao City's land, totalling about 2,443.61 square kilometres (943.48 sq mi), is hilly in the west (the Marilog district) and slopes down to the southeastern shore. Mount Apo, the highest peak in the Philippines, is located at the city's southwestern tip. Mount Apo National Park (the mountain and its surrounding vicinity), was inaugurated by President Manuel Quezon (in Proclamation 59 of May 8, 1936) to protect the flora and fauna of the surrounding mountain range. The Davao River is the city's primary drainage channel. Draining an area of over 1,700 km2 (660 sq mi), the 160-kilometre (99 mi) river begins in the town of San Fernando, Bukidnon. Almost half of the total land area is classified as timberland or forest. Agriculture remains the largest economic sector comprising banana, pineapple, coffee and coconut plantations. So in our place the Davao city is very a lot of resources that can we get a money, get a money and handle with care the resources to help our Mother Earth. Everyone has the capability to help for the economy, economy means is what makes city keep going and going, it keeps the city stand, and it is the one that picture if the city is a city or a city is not a city. Economy is what the world keep living, it is the reason a country is working, it is the reason the city is still alive, economy is very important, the government should keep on watch about the economy, and I think not just the government should do that but also people who are involve, even it is a public official, a private official, an employee or even just a normal person that you see on the streets, and every people have an ability or an unique idea to help the economy in a certain place, you should not make yourself a flower in your place, you need to be a human that is strong and know how to think. Our facilitator told us about his dream and goals for Davao City, also his dreams and goals to his students, he said that he wanted to do something for the city, he wanted this city to be progressive as the other city in the country or more progressive than the other city, he wanted to produce a lot of job in the city, he wanted to innovate something for the city progression of economy, he wanted the city to be perfect for living and working. As for his students, our facilitator told us that his past students who are really good were not able to find jobs here in the city, and because of that reason his best students look for job not in the city but in the other city, he said that it seems we are feeding other city good graduates and make their city more better, and what we have here are just the remaining. I think some reason why they go to other places is to tell them that they came from the land of durian the precious on city in the Mindanao the Davao city to prove them that they proud being a Davaoñeo and to help other places to change their mindset to make that every person have a special to an amazing idea and the things to help their economy so I think that is some reason why the go outside the city. But in my path I think I need more study or to think what is the best ideas to make our city stay and clean beautiful city in the country and not also here and also for the whole wide world that’s Davao city is amazing that we only think that idea for the whole city to make more improved us well to the technology. I’m a third year college students of University of Southeastern Philippines taking up Bachelor Science of Information Technology (BSIT) and taking the technopreneurship 1 subject, all of my perceptions and beliefs were changed into something positive.  I would suggest to strengthen the IT opportunities here in Davao City. So that it would help grow the economy here in Davao City. It would also help to promote the business partners to invite their business friend to invest here in Davao City. For now only I can do is to promote the technopreneurship 1 subject and made them realize that there are still ways to earn money. Mostly of my classmates already earning because Business Process Outsourcing. Mostly companies offer this kind of job because they know that it is one of the choices especially those who are still studying and they want to earn. It is another type of technopreneurship that sells a product to their customers. I realized that I should have set my mind into alternative mindset. Because of the lessons shared by our facilitator, I am inspired to own a company, be the boss and hire employees. So with this mindset, I will use it as an instrument to help my fellow citizen and be able to grow the economy of Davao City through my innovative ideas. And thanks to subject Technopreneurship 1 and I want to make some new technologies that are not yet implemented. But before doing it, I want to create an organization of technopreneurs that the primary goal is to develop something that will of help in boosting the economy of Davao City and will surely benefit the mankind. After that, I want to gather all influential leaders of different IT related organizations here in Davao City and propose to them to create something which could be used by technopreneurs or by simple entrepreneurs to be able to cope up with the competition in the business world, here and outside the city. Also, through this, their organizations will be known for their creations and they could make a big impact to the society. I’ve a lot want to do just like to innovate our jeepney our Public Utility Jeepney (PUJ), I want that every driver save money and to make less use money instead of buying the gasoline every day and I hope every jeepney on the top have a “solar power device” that can generate electricity to move the jeepney to less the air pollution and more save to the gasoline we all know that gasoline now is very expensive and for  the sake of owners or drivers of that PUJ and I wanna to propose this and I hope it will approve by the government to support it for the City sake and environment protection less air pollution to the whole world this kind of technopreneurships of thinking of innovation of this city. It is not just about popularity, but it is more on how you made a change to the society and mankind and what have contributed to boost the economy of the city. And if given me a chance to ask what next to do I want to make a lot of seminars that some people here in our city that they didn’t make to graduates I will give free seminars that can know how to build a device that marketable to help our economy so if that kind of system I think here in Davao that some people here said that they “poor? ” now I think if the join that project they never say that because they have an idea to produce a money to help their selves not only their selves but also the economy of the city will get improve because of that project. On the seminars, they will be taught about the help and advantages of technopreneurship in the business industry of Davao City, on how Davao City progress because of technology. They will be lectured on what these technology can do in the improvements and progress of their individual aspects of living. They will be given some trainings on how to use those technologies for them to be backed-up with knowledge, learnings and experiences when they will do apply jobs in any IT companies in the city. For those who are not really blessed to be accepted on the job that they will be applying, the city government will have to offer jobs that uses technology, whether it is for business or for the city’s welfare. We know as I said Davao City is one of the largest cities in the world, and I was amazed how the government of Davao especially the mayor handle this kind of a big city, he helps people and people help him. There will be no problems in helping the city’s economy, as long as the people how to help the city there will be no problems at all. All we need is to produce quality graduates, invite investors to put their businesses here, offer them our best students, in that way our best graduates will no longer work in other places or city they will be working in the businesses that standing in Davao city, in that way too, they will help propel the economy of Davao city. Business that’s word is now very important we know if you don’t have that kind of word or don’t have a business in this world you can’t able to live it’s you don’t have any source of income. And if they mastered the taught from the seminar and they apply to the company they will be paid up and it will have a double advantages at the same time, the individual will earn while learning and the city will gaining both the progress and the unemployment rate that will pull down the economy of the city will be lessen. Now the Davao city is a lot of investors and many malls and many more business are in the Davao city have so its means Davao city is candidates of being most rich and abundant in business. It is good to hear that our city is advanced as compared to other places in terms of technology and its economy is propelling because a lot of investors are now coming in to Davao. Making something good in our society makes us proud of ourselves because through our simple efforts, we make a history in our city that is worth to treasure and be proud of. It feels fulfilling whenever you know that you change something for the betterment of mankind and people here in Davao is the answer with this situation and they must unite for the sake of the city as well as for their lives. I believe that as the people of Davao accept the changes and embrace the modernity which is the today’s technology, Davao’s economy will be on its zenith and even could be the great city not only in the country but in the whole world. To reach an achievement Davao city is one of the most fast growing place in the country and the only city in the Philippines which has reach the top 100 which was also make possible by the Mayor of Davao City. This is the place where I am living and is aware of the things that are happening. Only few things to be change to this place and this place would be known to its natural beauty. We should always think outside the box never put limits onto your ideas which you think could help not just here in Davao City but also to the Country and to the World. As a student which is studying or enrolled to the subject Technopreneurship I should always think of all the possible ways or ideas which are also possible to become into reality.

And for last if we take a path always we remember that in every step we take the God is in our plans that what we want to do in our life and to be success and we need to strive hard for our plans to the city just like the quote “Don’t be afraid to follow your dream”. God Bless Us!
