About Davao: The Provinces and the City

The Provinces of Davao and the City are located in the southern second largest island of the Philippines.The island is Mindanao, and the City is the larget City in the world. This is the setting of our stories with the PME Fathers among the early seminarians and priests of the Saint Francis Xavier Seminary.
Before World War 2 and about 15 years after, the three provinces of Davao, Davao del Norte, Davao del Sur, and Davao Oriental, remained one political provincial unit, governed by one Governor. They comprised also one Diocese, run by one Diocesan Bishop, initiated by the PME Fathers. In the early years of the seminary, there was only one political Province and one Diocese. This was until the three provincial and diocesan divisions in the sixties.
