In the heart of Davao City is a hotel, conference venue and art gallery all rolled out into one.
Ponce suites, aptly called "The Unconvention Center", features the work of vibrant artist Kublai Millan, well known for his infusion of larger-that -life sculptures in and around Davao City.
Tucked within a residential village, the family-run ponce suites is just one in the long list accomplishments of Millan, a graduate of Fine Arts from the University of Philippines (UP) in Diliman.
His sculpture of a family emerging from a durian right outside the Davao international airport is one of the first slights of the city. His monuments of heroes stand in front of the Sangguniang Panglungsod Building and San Pedro Cathedral, while a massive eagle and carvings of LUMAD people decorate the people's Park, with its fruit-shaped dome and pine trees. Millan's sculptures spread all over mindanao, from a 75-foot buddha guarding the border between Bukidnon and Davao, reaching as far as Sultan Kudarat, Maguindanao, Lanao Del Norte and Camiguin. The Cotabato-born artist draws inspiration from a variety of subjects, including folklore, the environment, urban myths, Mindanawon culture and current events, creating his own distinct style.
