DAVAO CITY- The Municipality of Sta. Cruz will be holding the 12th staging of the Pista sa Kinaiyahan (Nature’s Festival) this coming April 26 to 29.
The festival will feature events which are geared towards environmental preservation and conservation. Among the activities include, an art and fashion exhibition featuring recycled materials converted to art works, Mangrove planting, and Mt. Apo clean-up.
Pista sa Kinaiyahan will also feature adventure sporting events aimed at promoting Sta. Cruz as an ideal eco-tourism site in the region.
The festival’s main event is the 2nd International Mt. Apo Boulder Face Challenge set this coming April 28 to 29. The extreme sports adventure race will combine four extreme sports disciplines: mountain biking, trekking, white water tubing, and running. This race involves teams to traverse the coastal areas of Sta. Cruz and climb up to the peak of the country’s highest mountain Mt. Apo at 10,000 feet above sea level.
About 46 teams from Australia, Vietnam and Singapore have slated their intention to participate in the race. They will have to beat the record of 22 hours 51 minutes and 42 seconds set by a team from Carmen, Davao del Norte, the inaugural champions during the initial staging of the event last year.
According to Municipal Councilor Fernando Ugdoracion, the local government has budgeted P500,000 for the 2nd Mt. Apo Boulder Face Challenge, which is being also supported by the Department of Tourism. The event has already gained acclaim as one of the toughest eco-adventure races in the country.

DAVAO CITY- Members of the Mothers for Peace Movement in Mindanao (M4P) will take the lead in a “food revolution” campaign or the fight against junk foods in city schools starting July this year.
M4P will launch the Mothers for Peace SuperFood Carts in Davao City in time for the Nutrition Month celebration in July in a bid to promote healthy foods organically produced and cooked by the city’s rural women.
Patmei Ruivivar, program officer of the Mindanao Commission on Women (MCW) that organized the M4P, disclosed this during the Kapihan sa PIA on March 30 featuring women issues in observance of the Women’s Month.
Ruivivar said the campaign will also support the city government’s ordinance that bans junk foods in schools.
“The food revolution campaign will start in schools to educate parents on healthy foods, and help them change the eating habits of their children,” she stated, mentioning that the Assumption College of Davao is one that adheres to no-to-junk foods policy inside its school campus.
She said the Mothers for Peace SuperFood Carts will be installed in different schools in the city to sell nutritious and delicious foods in food carts.
Davao City will be the pilot area for this health and at the same time economic enterprise for women in Mindanao as part of MCW’s Mothers for Peace Social Enterprise Program.
MCW launched this enterprise program during the Women’s Market that brought more than 20 women’s groups and food producers all over Mindanao in time for the women’s month celebration on March 8 this year in the city, Ruivivar said.
MCW, established in 2001 by Mindanao women leaders, is a non-government organization that advocates for Mindanao peace and development agenda from women’s perspective. The M4P is MCW’s grassroots base.
