Overview

Davao is the third most populous city in the Philippines. It is located on the island of Mindanao.

History

Davao was notable for being the site of Davao Air Base, an Earth Federation Forces military facility that hosted the Man Hunters and later the Circe Unit.

On April 19, U.C. 0105, Haunzen Flight 356 out of Von Braun was forced to divert from its original destination of Hong Kong and made an emergency landing in Davao after experiencing a hijacking attempt carried out by a group of terrorists. The flight was carrying several Earth Federation ministers bound for the 25th annual meeting of the Earth Federation Cabinet in Adelaide, Australia, as well as Hundley Yeoksan, Kenneth Sleg, Gigi Andalucia, and Hathaway Noa. The flight's passengers were confined to Davao overnight while the EFF took witness statements and investigated the incident, and they were given rooms at the Tasaday Hotel & Resort.

This placed Hathaway Noa in a delicate situation, as he was secretly the leader of the anti-Federation extremist group Mafty and his cover story that he was traveling to Manado in Indonesia for biology research would not hold up for long under the investigators' scrutiny. Hathaway made contact with other Mafty members and arranged for Mafty to attack the hotel that night in an apparent assassination attempt against the Earth Federation officials staying there, which would be a diversion for Hathaway to slip out of the city. Although the attack was successful and the government officials were killed, Hathaway refrained from making his escape over his desire to protect Gigi amid the chaotic battle that ensued when EFF mobile suits responded. Hathaway later left Davao by alternate means and reunited with Mafty.
