Digos

The coastal metropolis of Digos extends across 287 square kilometers along the western shores of Davao Gulf, near Mount Apo's southern slopes.

Digos originated from the term 'Padigus' during Spanish colonial times and later developed through American entrepreneur N.E. Crumb's establishment of an Abaca plantation.

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

Transportation networks connect Digos to major cities through buses, public utility vans, and jeepneys, with regular routes to Davao City and General Santos.

The city implements a program to plant one million trees, contributing to environmental preservation while maintaining its position as an agricultural center.
