+ March 12, 2021 MANY seem to be confused about the change of the Araw ng Dabaw celebration from March 16 to March 1. Given there is still a pandemic, and there’s no more local ABS-CBN station to announce the changes, the events held online had a limited reach.
But the city government can be credited for course correcting the Araw ng Dabaw to the original date of Davao’s cityhood. But it could not be said of the Davao City history they presented through the video that needs more corrections.
I may be fussing over details, but history is important. It’s not just important about knowing names and dates, but also equally important is the narrative, who we are, and how we move along the struggles and tides of the times.
