Davao was at its best during the culmination of the Kadayawan sa Dabaw, with the beat and colors revving up during Saturday's Inkak-indak sa Dalan and Sunday's floral float parade. Shown in photo is the winner in the small float category, that of Sul Orchids. (Sun.Star Davao/Seth delos Reyes and Rene B.
