Earlier, the City Government of Davao officially lit its 30-foot giant Christmas tree during the Dan-ag Davao ug Pag-abli sa Pasko on November 27, 2025, at Rizal Park.
This year’s theme, “Paskong Dabawenyo, Paskong Pilipino,” highlights how the city celebrates Christmas by blending Filipino traditions, community spirit, and Davao’s unique brand of festivity.
To recall, the Davao City Tourism Operations Office (CTOO) said this year’s Pasko Fiesta budget is ₱44 million, down from ₱52 million in 2024. The office initially sought ₱32 million but later requested an additional ₱12 million, bringing the total to ₱44 million—₱8 million less than last year.
The office said that the reduced budget would result in the removal of several events, including the Year-End Party. However, they noted that the cuts will not dampen the festivities, emphasizing that there are still plenty of activities for visitors to enjoy. RGP
