Digos

Digos is a coastal city in Davao del Sur that stretches along the western shores of Davao Gulf. It functions as a trading hub connecting agricultural areas to larger urban centers in the region.

The city grew from the Spanish colonial term 'Padigus' and was later shaped by plantation development. Agricultural ventures formed the foundation of its local economy and settlement patterns.

The city celebrates multiple festivals throughout the year, including Sinulog sa Digos in January and Padigosan Festival in July, representing local traditions.

The city connects to larger centers through bus routes, shared vans, and jeepneys. Visitors will find straightforward transport options to nearby regions.

The city has launched a tree-planting program that has distributed thousands of seedlings across the region. This initiative ties environmental care to the area's agricultural identity.
