Do you live in Davao city or in the province?  My fiance is from Davao.

I used to live in Davao years ago, Now I just visit the country.  Davao has lost some it charm for me.  The last few years traffic has gotten almost as bad as Manila.

My asawa is from Davao.... Where is yours from

Sorry, didn't see this question.  Yes, my fiance is from Davao.

 

Funny story, years ago before my visit, I said, "Hon, you folks had a bombing recently at the night market, is that close to Marco Polo hotel?"  She said, "No hon, far away."  I found out when I got there, it is like 400 feet away from the hotel.  Sometimes they just don't get it.

The USPS has stopped taking delivery of items to the Philippines.  Anyone know for sure Balikbayan packages are still moving?  I guess if someone sent a pkg mid to ending of March can verify.

Two left our house this week and LBC said it was pretty close to business as usual

The USPS are completely different than BB boxes.
