The second week of August is the month of the Kadayawan Festival celebration in Davao City, Philippines with Ulticon Builders Davao. The city also known as ” The Fruit Basket of Mindanao” and its Kadayawan Festival is known throughout the Philippines as the “King of Festivals”. It is a weeklong celebration of thanksgiving for the gifts of nature, and a bountiful harvest. Our honorable Mayor Rodrigo Duterte once said that Kadayawan is also a celebration for the indigenous people of Mindanao.
Ulticon Builders Inc. has an enormous vision for the city’s progress along with many others. Carlos Gonzalez of Davao has supported this vision by facilitating the creation of farm to market roads for the indigenous people to have more access and convenience in bringing their farm products to the market. It was also created to help them have the right advantage in using the government’s programs in education, health, hospitalization amongst others. That is why, when they were asked for a sponsorship, Ulticon accepted the opportunity to become one of the donors for the festival and pledged to be a Silver Sponsor.
Kadayawan has three famous events with the locals and tourists from all around the globe, primarily the Floral Float (Pamulak) Competition Parade, Indak-Indak sa Kadalanan and the Hiyas ng Kadayawan.

On November 26, 2014, the Ateneo de Davao University (ADDU), SOS-Sakya Football Club (FC) and D’Davao Survivors (DDS) conquered their respective opponents as they improved in their standings in the 11th Acosta Cup ladies’ football tournament held at the Tiongko field. The tournament was organized through the initiative of the City Government of Davao and sponsored by Ulticon Builders Incorporated through the Sports Development Division of the City Mayor’s Office (SDD-CMO), and Davao Football Association (DFA.
The tournament ended with the blue-blooded spirit of Ateneo showcasing a convincing win, scoring 10-1, emerging victorious over the University of the Philippines Mindanao (UP). Meanwhile, the SOS-Sakya FC crushed the Philippine College of Technology (PCT) with a score of 14-1.
The objective of the tournament was to enhance and hone the skills of the young athletes, encourage sportsmanship and to provide a decent venue for the young people. In the avenue of sports, Ulticon Builders Inc., with Carlos or “Charlie” Gonzalez of Davao, shows its support through simple cash assistance.

Hot Summer! Once again it’s Fire prevention month, a critical time of the year that is taken seriously by our firefighters. Summer always has the highest fire incidents so our dear firefighters believe in the need to educate the residents of Davao about fire prevention and proper response in case of fire incident.
The fire prevention role of a fire department mainly includes ensuring the safety of its people and their properties (homes, hotels, offices, factories, and so on) and to assure that in case of fire the inhabitants can safely evacuate the premises unharmed.
One of Ulticon’s supported NGO’s is the Filipino Chinese Firefighters Foundation of Davao. It is a non-profit organization Founded as an Emergency Fire and Rescue Operations Base. With Ulticon’s donation that support the department’s operations in terms of equipment like fire jackets and maintenance amongst others, the FIlipino Chinese Firefighters have a better chance in helping more people in case of fire.
Ulticon, with Carlos Charlie S. Gonzalez of Davao believes it is a must to provide assistance through a simple donation to some of many significant organizations that help protect and render service to the community. After all, the fact that our firefighters risk their lives for their fellowmen can never be compensated with any monetary value. Residents of Davao City can rest more comfortably at night knowing that the people who stay up in case of emergencies are also supported to be at their most conditioned state.
The Philippine Commission on Women is a governing association that aids women and envisions itself as the “government authority that champions women’s empowerment and gender equality”. They seek to let the more opportunities for women to contribute to the city and to share their talents and abilities. One of its major functions is to “Undertake continuing advocacy to promote economic, social and political empowerment of women and provide technical assistance in the setting-up and strengthening of mechanisms on gender mainstreaming”. Women nowadays are more than capable to contribute and strengthen society.
It is no longer surprising for us to hear people, organizations and companies help support the cause of others since it is a small price to pay for the lives that are touched and changed. That is why Ulticon makes sure to always support the advocacy of other organizations. This is most especially true if it is for the women and children who are in need of our great assistance. Thus, when PCW invited Ulticon Builders Inc. to be one of its donors, UBI has seen this as a wonderful chance of helping the women and children of Davao though PCW.
Its vision and mission which is to engage in projects that benefit the people in line with its Corporate Social Responsibility or CSR reach greater heights every time it works hand in hand with organizations and agencies committed to nation-building like the The Philippine Commission on Women.
