City of Mati offers more than it's delicious foods and clear water beaches. It doesn't stop there. Tour around the city and witness it's one of a kind beauty,, it's coastline and the Sleeping Dragon shape island,

The two-story Subangan Museum stands on a 1000 sqm land. It’s a modern looking building surrounded with greenery and a cafe outside. But looking closely, one would notice the native patterns incorporated on the metal fences and the beautifully carved doors inside the museum. These are the native patterns from Davao Oriental’s indigenous people, the Mandaya and Kaagan. I was able to converse with Lyrna Padohinog, the Museum Administrator, who also warmly welcomed me as a guest. She explained that the word Subang is a bisaya term which means “east” or “sunrise”. So apt because Pusan point, which is part of Davao Oriental is where the sunlight of the new millennium happened. Lyrna also told me the museum just opened this January 2014 and it the brainchild of Governor Corazon Nuñez-Malanyaon.
