Birdwatching as defined is the practice of observing birds in their natural environment as a hobby. A big potential of Birdwatching in Sitio Limentuog due to the protection and conservation being done by the community on their remaining forest area of the Mt. Kampalili range. It was noted that people of the sitio protected the nest sites of the Philippine eagle. The workshop features potential birdwatch guides and porters that will become the tourism workforce of the sitio as soon as the place will be opened for birdwatchers.

The trainors also noted the variety of exotic mid and high elevation specie of birds that can be seen in the area. Sitio Limentuog is considered to be the transition area of elevation which range from upper dipterocarp to lower montane forest as observed in the specie of trees found in these areas. Various potential birdwatching sites were pointed ranging from a 15-minute walk to an hour of hike depending on the kinds of birds birdwatchers wanted to observe.

DAGMAY
The traditional handwoven textile of Mandaya, is made of lanot (abaca fibers, Musa textilis) using the abl'lun (backstrap loom).
Weaving the "dagmay" has been passed on from one generation to another. Children, during their free time, help their mothers to segregate and knot the abaca fibers. When their feet can reach the siknan (foot brace) of the loom, the young girls are allowed to continue what their mothers and grandmothers have started to weave. Those who are willing to learn would stay by their mothers' side to observe and copy what their mothers are doing.
Motifs and designs of the dagmay are mostly anthropomorphic and zoomorphic. The reptile is respected as shown by the regularity with which it appears in their design. Dagmay is not just an ordinary cloth; every design is considered sacred and a gift by the Tagamaling (spirit). Weavers would offer rituals to the Magbabaya (deity) to give them clear visions of the designs and concentration when laying the patterns. They would usually chew on betel nuts and burn ashes near them as part of their ritual.
At present, the Mandaya weavers in Davao Oriental would mix commercial cotton with abaca to save time in preparing the materials and in weaving. At times, they also mix the commercial and natural dyes to make the colors look brighter and prevent the colors from fading away/fast.
