King of Fruits is the Furit for All Season

If Durian were a local artista it would have been Fernando Poe, Jr. and Vilma Santos combined.

Durian is called the King of Fruits but recently technology has made it the Fruit for All Season. Before, Durian season is around August to September but nowadays it's a fruit the whole year-round.

On our way to Caraga Region, we passed by this fruit stand in Panabo City laden with the Durian of various variety.

Sold to Durian.

Davao City: Ilaw ng Kalinaw

San Pedro St. is an iconic and historic street in Davao City. It has seen the city's major transformation from the old to the new. The city's seat of government power, City Hall, and the seat of religious Catholic power, San Pedro Cathedral are anchored on its soil. Though I live in this city I seldom visit San Pedro St. When I happen to walk this old street, recently, few dots of changes and landmark surprised me. Here stand, between the City hall and the cathedral, the fitting totemic tower of Ilaw ng Kanilaw.

I don't have idea who the artist was/were but I want to congratulate him/her/them for a job well done: artsy-craftsy piece. I wonder how many beautiful things are there in this city that remained unnoticed, if only we look close and appreciate. -----
