Davao Region
Davao Region or formerly called Southern Mindanao (Filipino: ''Kadabawan'') is one of the regions of the Philippines, designated as Region XI.〔(List of Regions ), (Statistical Coordination Board ).〕 It is located on the southeastern portion of Mindanao, and consists of five provinces, namely: Compostela Valley, Davao del Norte, Davao del Sur, Davao Oriental, and the newly created, Davao Occidental. The region encloses the Davao Gulf and its regional center is Davao City. Davao is the Hispanicized pronunciation of ''daba-daba'', the Bagobo word for "fire" (the Cebuano translation is "kalayo").
== Etymology ==
Many historians believe that the name "Davao" is actually the mixture of the three names that three different tribes, the earliest settlers in the region, had for the Davao River. The Manobos, an aboriginal tribe, referred to the Davao River as ''Davohoho''. Another tribe, the Bagobos, referred to the river as ''Davohaha'', which means "fire", while another tribe, the Guiangan tribe, called the river as Duhwow.
