Kadayawan is a celebration of the life and culture of the indigenous people link to the land.
The theme for this year is:
“Nahiusang Katawhan Nakigdait sa Kalibutan”
(“One People in Communion with the Earth”)
The life and culture of the indigenous peoples have always been linked to the land. Since time immemorial, Davao has been the homeland of the Indigenous People and land has become the core of their existence. If their land is lost, so is their culture and traditions. Thus, there is a need to defend the indigenous peoples’ ancestral lands for them to continually live and practice their way of life- consulting the spirits, working with nature and sharing with others. This is the main reason of celebrating the Kadayawan sa Dabaw 2009.
This year’s celebration has two main components: Lumadnong Kasaulogan(Indigenous Peoples Festival) - the core of the Kadayawan Festival showcasing our indigenous peoples’ culture and arts.
Subay sa Lumadnong Kagikan (Contemporary Indigenous-motivated Celebrations) - showcases the impact of the indigenous culture and traditions to contemporary artists and communities.

Officially Official: Ferrari 458 Italia announced!
Months of speculations and spy shots while Ferrari tests their new car, Maranello has finally revealed the mid-engined V8 replacement for the already amazing Ferrari F430. The all-new Ferrari 458 Italia. It won't be shown in public until September's Frankfurt Motor Show, but the official details were released. A new direct-injected 4.5-liter V8 ups the ante under-hood, pumping out 562 horsepower and 398 lb-ft of torque. Did you ask for the rev limit? 9,000 rpm!!!
As with last year's Ferrari California, the Ferrari 458 Italia gets an F1 style seven-speed dual clutch gearbox that directs power to the rear axle. Much has been done to reduce internal friction within the new V8, in addition aerodynamic drag improvements. As a result, the Ferrari 458 Italia's gas mileage improves to a combined 17.1 mpg (US) on the EU test cycle. As this is a Ferrari, talk of fuel consumption really does seem somewhat pointless, anyway. No mention of incorporating any type of KERS hybrid system has been made thus far. TheKERS idea, you'll remember, had taken several spins around the rumor-mill over the last year or so; maybe that'll materialize at a later date.
Like its predecessor, the Ferrari 458 Italia's aluminum structure helps keep weight under control -- it tips the scales at just 3,042 pounds dry. So, we know you're wondering: How quick is it? Based on specs at least, this new coupe does't disappoint. Acceleration to 100 km/h (62 mph) takes just 3.4 seconds, and this will be the first volume production Ferrari V8 to top the 200 mph barrier, with a top whack of 202 mph.
