As Christmas and New Year draw closer, more exciting online activities await Dabawenyos in line with the virtual Davao Pasko Fiesta (DPF), dubbed the Davao PASKOnline Fiesta.

Davao City Tourism Operations Officer (CTOO) Generose Tecson said in an interview that all the activities are done virtually for the safety of the Dabawenyos. These activities can be viewed on the DPF official Facebook page facebook.com/DavaoPaskoFiestaOfficial and other social media platforms.

This year’s Pasko Fiesta carries the theme, “Buong Pamilya, Sama-samang Magsasaya, Puno ng Pag-ibig at Pagasa!” (The whole family, celebrating together filled with love and hope). Taking center stage is the essence of the annual occasion, which is celebrating with the family.
