Once again, Davao Bloggers in partnership with Avatar Media had conducted its fourth Davao Food Appreciation Tour. The tour was participated by travel and food bloggers all over the country. Some were from Metro Manila, Iloilo, Iligan while a few from the host city.
The Davao Food Appreciation Tour (DFAT) is an annual event organized by Avatar Media and some officers of Davao Bloggers, Inc. This year, the team is composed of:
- Renz Bulseco of The Geek Travels;
- Mark Cabrera of Markable;
- Anj Nacorda of Davaoisms;
- Andrew dela Serna of Davao Foodie;
- Ria Jose of Kusina Maria; and
- Dulce Lada of Davao Talk
This year’s DFAT doesn’t just highlight the top food destination of the region, the event also allows the participants to taste the ‘adventure’ side of the region. They had a first-hand experience with the exotic animals of Crocodile Park, had relaxed at Mount Apo Highlands Resort of Brgy. Kapatagan, Digos City and had toured Samal Island.
And to quote Kuya Orman’s famous quote for this event,“It’s the only time of the year when gluttons rise and diets fail.”
