The constructi­on of the park was funded by Nanning City but the design of the park came from the Davao City Engineer's Office and the Davao City Planning Developmen­t Office featuring the icons of the city such as the durian and the Philippine Eagle.

“Ito po ang pinaka- magandang impact ng whatever relationsh­ip that we do and after we build the relationsh­ip, we build trust sa isa’t-isa. Our main objective here is to help the local government and to make sure that these

programs will be really felt by the people to improve the lives of the people because of our good relationsh­ip by the local government,” Al-ag said.

Once the project is completed, the local government of Nanning will invite the city government officials to their city to grace the inaugurati­on of the Davao City Park.

Saraum came from the church before he went to the bank to withdraw cash. Saraum just want to return the money to the owner without expecting any in return.
