Bankerohan Public Market

Reviewed By FilAmBear

If you want to experience a place to see variety of tropical fruits, this is the place. But make sure to go deeper in the market since the price was higher in the front area. Try to bargain, it's fun ????We felt like we won the lottery buying sugar sweet POMELO for a cheap price. Also, make sure to ask them if you can sample a piece or a slice. We tried buying fruits from a sidewalk, and not in the market on our first day, turned out the fruits were not as good.

Beware! when you plan to light a candle in the right corner of the church. if an old woman approached you and put a pin with a cross and image of christ in your clothes,., "dont ever accept it!!" she will ask you to pay for 20 pesos forcefully! I believe that christ and other catholic matter should not be used to earn money!!! "budol budol!" beware

Reviewed By christadanicaj - Caloocan, Philippines

Visit the new temporary location and get amazed by how rich Mindanao culture and heritage is. Get the guided tour and ask for Sir Randy. He is very knowledgeable and informative. I am looking forward to the new 5 storey building that is being constructed in cooperation with the National Museum. I am sure that the museum will be so huge and beautiful! This is a must visit when you go to Davao. Admission is free.
