Davao Region, Administrative region in southeastern Mindanao, Philippines
The Davao Region spans five provinces surrounding the Davao Gulf, with Davao City serving as its primary administrative and commercial center.
The area transformed from small tribal settlements of Manobos, Mandayas, and Bagobos into a Spanish-controlled territory during the mid-nineteenth century.
Indigenous communities maintain their traditions alongside modern developments, with the name Davao derived from the Bagobo word for fire.
The regional government operates specialized departments for economic development, infrastructure projects, and public services across its five constituent provinces.
Mount Apo, located within the region's boundaries, stands as the highest mountain peak in the Philippine archipelago at 2,954 meters.
