San Pedro Cathedral
Davao City's oldest church is named for the city's patron saint.
Don Jose Uyanguren, known as the 'Spanish Conquistador of Davao',
built the San Pedro Cathedral in 1847 during the Spanish colonial
period. The original altar, carved with images of saints, has been
preserved and can be seen in the right wing of the cathedral.

Language
The official language of the Philippines is Filipino, but
English is widely spoken. Tagalog is the most predominant of the
many dialects or local languages spoken throughout the
islands.
Money
The currency of the Philippines is the Peso (PHP), which is
divided into 100 centavos. Major credit cards are widely accepted
in the cities and tourist destinations. Banks do not always accept
travellers cheques, but a receipt of purchase is useful. ATMs are
available in the major cities. US dollars are widely accepted in
Manila and other tourist areas and are the easiest currency to
exchange; otherwise Euros and Pounds Sterling can also be exchanged
in banks and hotels. Banks open from 9am to 3pm, Monday to Friday,
but their ATMs are open 24 hours. It is best to carry pesos when
travelling outside of major centres.
