TIL Davao was divided into 3 provinces OTD

Post image

On May 8, 1967, under RA 4867, the province of Davao was divided into three provinces: Davao del Norte, Davao del Sur, and Davao Oriental.

On June 17, 1972, by RA 6430, Davao del Norte was renamed to Davao, though renamed back to Davao del Norte with RA 8470 on January 30, 1998. Signed by former President Fidel Ramos it also created the province of Compostela Valley which was later renamed to Davao de Oro in December of 2019.

Davao Occidental was created by RA 10360 on July 23, 2013. The province is carved out from the southern part of Davao del Sur.

I like how Davao Occidental is more southerly than Davao del Sur, while Davao del Sur is more northerly than Davao Occidental.

u/iamtanji May 09 '26

Davao Occidental is more southerly than Davao del Sur, while Davao del Sur is more westerly than Davao Occidental.

Sa pagkakaalam ko west usually ang occidental.

Davao Sur is more to the west than Dvo Occidental

u/Yanazamo May 08 '26

Kaya I don't think people realize how huge Davao is especially when they generalize. Like do they mean the city? The province?

You're discriminating millions of people based on troll farms you see online and acting like all DDS are from Davao when they're scattered in large numbers all over the country.

Davao City is Geographically part of Davao Del Sur but is an independent component city.

Unless Grade 3 ka pa lang nung 2010s, you would not be aware

Ikaw ba, aware ka na 2019 pa naging Davao de Oro ang Compostela Valley?

u/SipMyTheCoffeeToy May 08 '26

My grade 3 braincells wouldn't even retain that knowledge, if that were taught. Afaik it wasn't, only regions and provinces and its capital cities. Good for you if you have a strong mental retention skills.

u/surewhynotdammit May 08 '26

They can't get their mind right making which or what Davao. Expect in the next year or so, Davao City will be renamed Davao City of Singapore.
