National Camp Young, aspiring cagers from Davao and Cagayan De Oro shone from among 50 hopefuls after dazzling the judges during the Alaxan FR Galing Mo Camp held at the Unilab gymnasium in Mandaluyong City, Metro Manila. Proudly occupying two out of the ten podium spots were Davao's Gabriel Dagangon and Miguel Plata after the three-day camp culminated in Mandaluyong City, Metro Manila. Hard work paid off for the group, who each won a P100,000 infrastructure project for their respective barangays, on top of a P20,000 cash incentive (P25,000 for MVP Flores). Their stellar performance got the nod of the camp directors, led by no less than basketball legends Alvin Patrimonio, Jerry Codiñera, Benjie Paras, Jojo Lastimosa, Johnny Abarrientos, and Ronnie Magsanoc.

Eden Nature Park is Davao City's own little Baguio and Tagaytay. It's about an hour and a half drive from downtown and is located 3,000 feet above sea level. This mountain resort is home to man-made nature grounds meant to rebuild a lost environment. It's home to fresh air and cool breeze, fruits and greens, plus a whole lot of adventures such as Indiana Jones, Skyrider, Mountain Trails, Campsites, Playgrounds specifically made for Pinoy Games, and what not.
