Davao Oriental, Administrative division in southeastern Mindanao, Philippines.
The province extends across 5,679 square kilometers, featuring mountain ranges, coastal areas, and agricultural lands along the Philippine Sea and Davao Gulf.
The territory became part of Spanish Nueva Guipozcoa in 1849, followed by American administration in 1903, before establishing independence as a province in 1967.
The Mandaya and Kalagan tribes maintain their traditions in the region, while Cebuano speakers constitute the majority of the current population.
The capital city of Mati serves as the main transportation hub, connecting visitors to beaches, mountains, and agricultural sites throughout the province.
Davao Oriental leads Philippine coconut production, with extensive plantations creating a landscape of palm trees stretching toward the coastline.
