Hi Marloue, Slightly off-topic question. Since you're from Davao City, are residents of the city adamant about insisting that Davao City is separate from Davao del Sur? *Some* people from Zamboanga City are positively vocal (and sometimes actually hostile!) whenever people say they are part of Zamboanga del Sur[1].
Many maps of the Philippines simplify the country's administrative situation by making ALL cities (except those in Metro Manila) be "part" of a province. The National Statistical Coordination Board actually groups Davao City under Davao del Sur[2], but only for statistical purposes.
