Tagum City is more than a city known for its paved roads. With 14 Festivals a year, it is surely becoming famous for its events and festivities. Davao Bloggers was fortunate enough to be invited in the 1st Official Tagum Photo Safari last January 16-17. I was excited to be with other Tagum photographers as the City's PIO Edwin L. toured us around the precious nooks and spots of Tagum City.

Upon entering Tagum, you will notice palm trees
magnificently planted on the side of the road.
Tagum has been crowned Palm City of the Philippines.
Not far, you will see a wooden dock where boats are
available to take you on a 30km cruise to see the
river stretch and the wildlife it carries. On this stretch,
soft-shell crab hatcheries and restaurants are available
to provide meals and rest huts.
Soft Shell Crab Hatcheries harvest every 14-18 days
the river is clean and full of life.
But Tagum has more to offer than a river ride
Their City hall boasts of grandeur in size and design
magnificently erected to
encourage and promote a happy
working place
Tagum also has an energy park- a 3000sqm camping site with
an area for agriculture bearing facilities such as plant
nursery, hydrophonics, and soil &leaf laboratory.
Three offices are operating inside Energy Park, these are
BFAD Satellite Lab for Mindanao, DepED Tagum City Division
and TESDA Provincial Training Center
Soon Satellite Offices of Pag-big, GSIS, SSS, and PhilHealth
will operate in the area.
The beaches are not to be frowned at in Tagum
Environment Friendly with their

Tagum also has the only Beach Volleyball Court in Mindanao.
Say hello to the DavaoBloggers

When traveling, research on the places you want to visit and look for ideal ways to get there. Budget your vacation allowance and look for discounts and promos with airfare and hotel accommodations.
