'Davao Gulf' is a
gulf found in
Mindanao in the
Philippines. Davao Gulf cuts into the island of Mindanao from
Celebes Sea. It is surrounded by all four
provinces in the
Davao Region. The largest island in the gulf is
Samal Island.
Davao City, on the gulf's west coast, is the largest and busiest port on the gulf. The bagobos, a tribe known in Davao, are living in the Davao Gulf. With the thrust of Davao City towards
Information Technology and IT-Enabled Services (
ITES), Davao City and the Davao Gulf area have also earned the monicker
Silicon Gulf.
