The Davao Eagle (also known as Davao Eagle Online or DEO) is an online media publication and a community blog that covers local tourism, personalities, and events concerning or related to Southern Mindanao.

History

Davao Eagle Online started as an online marketplace for Davaoeños in 2010. From there, it launched a different platform that supports Davao City. In 2011, Davao Eagle Online with its core team started writing about current events, local news, and stories it deemed inspiring. Later on, it became the hub for Davaoenos where they can find share-worthy stories in the Davao Region. In 2015, Davao Eagle Online bloggers Pat Maruhomadil and Key Manatad were nominated as Blogger of the Year by Globe Telecom Media Excellence Awards for their write ups about current events and local issues in Davao. In its 2016 Mindanao leg, DEO won the GMEA Social Media Campaign of the Year award for their Year-End Poll Awards 2015 (YEPA) campaign.[1][2]

Content

Prior to the time when Davao Eagle Online became a community blog, the website was built as an online marketplace for Davao Region.

The website delivers Davao related content and also President Rodrigo Duterte's policies when he was still a Mayor of Davao City. Davao Eagle Online also uses the Eagle as its symbol to give a "bird’s eye view" of what is happening in Davao Region.[3]

In 2015, Davao Eagle Online published a video of a singing security guard who sang Back at One by Brian McKnight in which both ABS-CBN News and GMA News featured as a Viral Video.[4][5]

Reception

By January 2017, the website has a total of 1.5 million users which Davao Eagle Online team claimed that the website has been the top blogging community in the City of Davao, surpassing the engagement metrics of local media groups in the region. The blog site, davaoeagle.com reportedly registered over 10 million hits from January 2015 – 2017.
