On March 15, 2025, Davao Global Township (DGT) took a huge leap forward in its transformation as a premier urban hub with the groundbreaking ceremony of the DGT Cultural Center and De La Salle University, followed by the grand opening of DGT Central Park. It was an afternoon filled with excitement, anticipation, and pride as these developments promise to bring world-class education, culture, and leisure to Davao City.
Laying the Foundation for Culture and Education
DGT Cultural Center: A Future Landmark for the Arts ðŸŽðŸŽ¶
The DGT Cultural Center is set to become a beacon for the arts, music, and cultural heritage of Davao. This future venue will provide a world-class space for performances, exhibitions, and creative expression, catering to both local and international artists. With this project, DGT is ensuring that Dabawenyos have a dedicated space to celebrate and nurture the city’s artistic soul.
De La Salle University - DGT: Elevating Education in Mindanao 🎓📚
Another highlight of the event was the groundbreaking of De La Salle University - DGT, a highly anticipated addition to Mindanao’s educational landscape.
As one of the Philippines’ top universities, DLSU’s expansion in Davao will provide students with quality education, cutting-edge research facilities, and a globally competitive curriculum. This move reinforces DGT’s commitment to becoming a hub for innovation and learning in the region.
The Opening of DGT Central Park: A Breath of Fresh Air 🌳✨
Following the groundbreaking ceremonies, DGT Central Park was officially opened to the public. This sprawling green space offers a perfect balance of nature and modernity, giving residents and visitors a much-needed retreat from the city’s fast-paced lifestyle.
The park features:
🌿 Lush greenery and open spaces for relaxation
🚶♂️ Walking, jogging paths and mini golf for fitness enthusiasts
🌼 Beautifully landscaped gardens to enjoy nature’s beauty
🎶 Community spaces for events and gatherings
As I walked through the park, I couldn’t help but appreciate the vision behind DGT—a township that seamlessly integrates culture, education, and sustainability.
The events of March 15 showcased DGT’s commitment to progress—from building a cultural hub and a top-tier university to creating a vibrant, green space for the community. These milestones are just the beginning, and I’m excited to see how DGT continues to shape the future of Davao City.

I still vividly recall the times when my mother took me to the NCCC supermarket to pick up supplies for our home-run business. I can see quite a few people waiting in line to make a purchase. To me, it seems like a joyous occasion, and I couldn't be more pleased to be with my mother while we go grocery shopping together.
I was 2 years old when the NCCC opened its 1st supermarket and department store at Ramon Magsaysay Avenue, and they named the establishment New City Commercial Center. It was geared toward offering a wide variety of high-quality goods at the lowest price possible, and it was coupled with service that was warm and friendly from the associates working there. They remain committed to their mission of providing Dabawenyos with high-quality service and products at reasonable prices.
NCCC 47th SUPERMARKET
At the moment, the corporation operates more than one hundred stores of varying formats spread out across the nation.
Helen's Farm, Great Green Earth, Inc., Pinnacle Agri-Frontiers, Inc., Dos Palmas Arreceffi Island Resort, Inc., and NCCC Cares are some of the business units that are currently part of the NCCC Group of Companies. Other business units in the group include LTS Pinnacle Holdings, Inc., LTS Retail Specialists, Inc., LTS Malls, Inc., LTS Department Stores, Inc., LTS Hardware.

NCCC and its employees are able to give back to the community through a variety of programs that benefit youth, families, communities, and the environment thanks to the company's foundation, which is known as NCCC Cares.

She is one of the NCCC Employees who greeted us with a cheerful "Good Morning" at the department store, but I failed to get her name. Thanks Ate!
Tatay and his family did not give up on their dream of making a success of their business, despite the fact that the early years of the company were fraught with a great deal of difficulty. NCCC started out as a general merchandise store before transitioning into a textile store. Since then, the company has grown into one of the most important players in the retail industry, not only in Davao City but also across the entire country.

For 44 years, now that they have many branches, I thought that it would lessen the crowd, but it isn't working out that way. I was astounded by the number of people from Mintal who came out to show their support for the opening of the NCCC supermarket and department store in Vista Mall. And I had the opportunity to talk with people who live near the mall, and they couldn't express how happy they are that the NCCC opened its supermarket and department store so close to them. They will find that going to the grocery store and department store is very simple and convenient.
