Araw ng Dabaw holiday – March 16 2013

The people of Davao City will be marking this year’s Araw ng Dabaw festivities on March 16. The day, which falls on a Saturday, is a special non-working holiday in the city as declared by Republic Act 7551.

The law, which was enacted in 1992 during the time of then-President Corazon Aquino, says that officials of Davao City shall “lead appropriate and meaningful celebrations and activities participated in by officials and employees of the national government agencies or instrumentalities, civic, religious and nongovernment organizations, and private companies” doing business there. Read the full text of RA 7551 here.

Davao City came into being in 1936 when Romualdo Quimpo, a congressman from the region at that time, filed Bill Number 609 which created the City of Davao from the Town of Davao (Mayo) and the Guianga District. Davao was inaugurated as a chartered city by President Manuel Quezon on October 16, 1936.

  1. Hello Web Admin, I noticed that your On-Page SEO is is missing a few factors, for one you do not use all three H tags in your post, also I notice that you are not using bold or italics properly in your SEO optimization. On-Page SEO means more now than ever since the new Google update: Panda. No longer are backlinks and simply pinging or sending out a RSS feed the key to getting Google PageRank or Alexa Rankings, You now NEED On-Page SEO. So what is good On-Page SEO?First your keyword must appear in the title.Then it must appear in the URL.You have to optimize your keyword and make sure that it has a nice keyword density of 3-5% in your article with relevant LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing). Then you should spread all H1,H2,H3 tags in your article.Your Keyword should appear in your first paragraph and in the last sentence of the page. You should have relevant usage of Bold and italics of your keyword.There should be one internal link to a page on your blog and you should have one image with an alt tag that has your keyword….wait there’s even more Now what if i told you there was a simple WordPress plugin that does all the On-Page SEO, and automatically for you? That’s right AUTOMATICALLY, just watch this 4minute video for more information at. Seo Plugin
