If there’s one thing I love about Kadayawan, it’s how it brings Davao together.
Every August, the city feels a little different. There are festivals, street activities, food trips, family gatherings, concerts, bazaars, and of course, countless moments that we want to share with the people who matter to us—even those who may not be here in Davao.And this year, staying connected is also part of the celebration.
Kadayawan is More Than Just a Festival
Kadayawan has always been a celebration of what makes Davao special—our people, our different cultures and traditions, our communities, and that strong sense of togetherness that we Davaoeños are proud of.
With this year's theme, “We Are One, KadayaONE!”, the message is pretty simple: we may come from different backgrounds and have different stories, but there are so many things that bring us together.
And honestly, with everything happening around the city during Kadayawan, connectivity has become a big part of the experience.
Think about it. We take photos and videos of the street dancing, food, events, and family moments. We post them on Facebook, send them to friends, go on video calls, stream our favorite shows after a long day, or simply stay connected with family members who are somewhere else.
That’s where PLDT Home comes in this Kadayawan season.
More Than Just Internet at Home
One of the things that caught my attention is the Fiber Unli All Plan 1499.
For ₱1,499 a month, the plan comes with fiber speeds of up to 200 Mbps, 63 Signal channels, an HBO Max Standard subscription, unlimited landline-to-landline calls, and landline-to-mobile calls to five nominated Smart or TNT numbers.
It also includes 9GB of Smart mobile data every month.
For me, that mobile data inclusion is a nice addition because connectivity doesn't really stop when we leave the house. You can share the data with up to three nominated Smart or TNT numbers, which means other members of the family can also have mobile data when they're out and about.
So whether you're working from home, studying, streaming, attending online meetings, calling family, or simply spending time watching something together, you basically have several digital needs covered in one plan.
And with HBO Max included, that's another option for those nights when you just want to stay home after a busy day of Kadayawan activities.

Kadayawan Goes Beyond the Home
But PLDT Home isn't just bringing its Kadayawan activities to our homes.
On August 15, there will also be a citywide PLDT Home motorcade going around communities in Davao City, bringing the festive atmosphere closer to Davaoeños.
Expect drumbeaters, dancers, festival hosts, games, and other activities along the way.
There will also be PLDT Home booths and satellite activations in different areas around Davao, including Magsaysay Park and Rizal Park.
So if you're already out enjoying Kadayawan, you might want to check these out. Aside from the activities, visitors can also learn more about PLDT Home's latest plans and offers, and there will be games, treats, and entertainment experiences for festival-goers.

Because Kadayawan is About Staying Connected
When you really think about it, Kadayawan isn't only about the big events.
It's the family that gets together after months of not seeing each other.
It's the barkada making plans for where to eat after watching the festivities.
It's the friends sending photos to someone who couldn't make it home this year.
It's the parents calling their children.
It's the simple moments that we capture on our phones because we know we'll want to remember them later.
And that's probably what makes the idea behind PLDT Home's Kadayawan campaign interesting to me.
“We Are Here For You” isn't just about having an internet connection at home. It's also about being connected to the people and experiences that matter, wherever life takes us.
Because whether we're celebrating Kadayawan at home, somewhere around the city, or even from miles away, being connected makes it easier to share the celebration.
So this Kadayawan, let's continue to celebrate what makes Davao special—our culture, our communities, our families, and most importantly, our connection with one another.
One celebration. One Davao. One KadayaONE. ❤️💙
And if you're looking for a reason to upgrade your home connectivity, maybe this Kadayawan season is the perfect time to take a closer look at what PLDT Home has to offer.
