The hosting comes in time for the province's renaming through a plebiscite held last December 7 and will be one of the biggest event for the province to hold. This is the time for Davao de Oro, a province of great endowments to prove its capabilities reflected on the theme “Our Golden Moment”.
The Provincial Local Government Unit (PLGU) together with the DepEd Division of Davao de Oro, LGUs and other stakeholders fully exerted efforts to concretize plans in preparation for the big event.
On January 28, 2020 a Stakeholder’s Forum was held, aiming to raise funds for the prestigious gold medals which will be infused with pure gold. A total of P3.5 million pesos was raised coming from the stakeholders comprised with small-scale miners from Mt. Diwalwal, barangay Bukal of Nabunturan, Sitio Napnapan, Diat and Kingking of Pantukan together with the Municipal Mayors, Sangguniang Panlalawigan Members, Executive Committees and other private personnel.
“It will be the first grand event of our province as Davao de Oro and it is the time to showcase who we are.” said Governor Uy during the forum. "The idea of infusing gold to the medals was inspired from the tradition of Mt. Diwalwal in rewarding their honor students with pure gold medals. "This proposal was made para mainspire nato atuang mga atleta ug sigurado ko nga maningkamot gyud sila ug maayo, sa tanang atleta sa DAVRAA 2020, we have prepared a special treat for all of you.” Governor Uy added.
The big event will take place this coming March 15 to 22, a week-long activity and will be hosted in the municipality of Montevista with 11 divisions who will be competing in various games and thousands of guests expected to witness every event.
Davao de Oro will spread it’s dynamism towards other neighboring provinces proving that the land doesn’t solely possess gold reserves, but with people of golden hearts which truly are the treasure of the province.
