Queenslands Statue of David Park is the best place to walk


This evening, I brought my whole family at the Queensland park where the statue of king David stood up. This was the most controversial park made by a single private person in the named of Theodorico Adarna, the proprietor of Queensland Hotels in the Philippines because He was not given any permit to operate such construction along the beach or shall I say a reclamation activity. The PRA (Philippine Reclamation Association) visited the area a couple of months a go and made an occular inspection. It became more controversial because the person from the PRA was amazed because the ongoing construction was almost done even without a valid permit from their office. The owner Mr. Adarna also known as "Ticol" was investigated about it. There were rumors that the city government of Davao is going to demolished the said construction. Some councilors were saying that it should be demolished for it is illegally constructed but Mr. Adarna explained that he is willing to donate all her creations to the city government of Davao, so whats the point of demolishing it; and the people of Davao loves it so much because it contributes tourist attraction. Today, The Statue of David park is already an icon to the Dabawenyos. I can consider it as a world class park made by a very rich man of Davao. I heard interviews and reports over the radio that he (Mr. Adarna) is spending as much as 40 thousand pesos a day just for the maintenance cost.
