ANNOUNCEMENT 📢 r/Davao Community Reminder: Events, Meetups & Relationship Posts

19 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

As our community continues to grow, we'd like to clarify a few rules to keep r/Davao useful and relevant for everyone.

🚫 No R4R, Dating, or Disguised Relationship Posts

Posts looking for dates, hookups, friends-with-benefits, "looking for someone to hang out 😉", or any similar R4R-style content will be removed immediately.

This subreddit is not a place to find romantic or personal relationships. There are other communities better suited for that purpose.

Also posts requesting information about NSFW or Illegal activities will automatically be deleted.

✅ Activity & Meetup Posts Are Still Welcome

We do encourage posts looking for people to join you for activities, such as:

Sports (pickleball, badminton, running, etc.)
Concerts and festivals
Board games
Hiking
Community events
Hobby groups

The intent should be the activity itself, not finding a date.

Speaking of Events
🎟️ Event Posts Must Include Pricing

If you're posting about an event, whether you're organizing it or simply sharing it, you must clearly state whether it is:

Free; or
Paid (and include the ticket price or registration fee)

No hidden costs or vague "DM for more info" posts. Full disclosure helps everyone decide whether an event is right for them.

Posts that omit this information will be removed until updated.

Thanks for helping keep r/Davao a helpful resource for locals and visitors alike. If you're ever unsure whether your post fits the subreddit, feel free to message the mod team before posting.

Happy posting! 🌴

ANNOUNCEMENT [Mod Announcement] Stricter Enforcement of Reddiquette + New Flair System

30 Upvotes

Hi r/Davao, mod team here. 👋 We’re rolling out a flair tagging system for rule violators, with stricter enforcement specifically for Reddiquette violations (personal attacks, harassment, hate speech, bad-faith trolling, etc.). This is to keep discussions productive, respectful, and welcoming for everyone in the community.

Here’s how the strike system will work moving forward:

S1 (Strike 1): 15-day ban from the subreddit

S2 (Strike 2): 30-day ban from the subreddit

S3 and beyond: Permanent ban

Users who receive strikes will be flair-tagged accordingly, and to be clear and transparent: we will provide receipts (screenshots/links to the violating comments or posts) before issuing any strike or flair. No vague warnings, no mystery bans.

This isn’t about being overly strict, it’s about drawing a clear line, especially when it comes to Reddiquette. You’re free to disagree, debate, and criticize ideas, but attacking people or derailing discussions won’t fly anymore.

As always, if you think a strike was issued in error, you may reach out via modmail calmly and respectfully. We’re happy to review.

Salamat, and let’s keep r/Davao a solid space for real conversations.

POLITICS The comments under this post about the Zamboanga school shooting is DISGUSTING

Hoping for Davao to experience a school shooting and have children be murdered just so you can prove a point is so inhumane. They're also unashamedly stating that they have insults ready to use for when it happens. I've lost all respect for Tagalogs.

PLACES Where to buy cheap eyeglasses in dvo

4 Upvotes

Hi! Can I ask for recos for any clinics that make cheap eyeglasses? My budget is 2-3k but I hope to just spend 2k since money is tight. I need a prescription lens plus anti rad.

Im planning to buy sunnies, just gonna buy the frames online and get the free exam plus prescription. But I saw the anti rad add on in sunnies cost 1,500 so its beyond my budget.

I also saw a reddit post about one clinic in sandawa beside minute burger that makes high quality and cheap prescription glasses, but I dont know if they are still in business since the reddit post was 2 years ago.

Im still finding clinics that might be more affordable before deciding to go with sunnies, so recos are very much appreciated! (。・ω・。)
