Southern Voice KTV


Videoke afficionados would be glad to hear of a new "tambayan" at the heart of Davao. Introducing the Southern Voice KTV, located across the People's Park at the corner of Legazpi and Palma Gil streets.



Unlike most "videoke bars" in Davao, the Southern Voice KTV has a cozy lounging area, complete with a sofa and a flat screen TV, where customers can wait in line.



Their slightly sound-proofed air-conditioned rooms are quite spacious and can easily accomodate up to atleast eight to nine people. Inside you can sit comfortably on their couch (or the plastic chairs provided) while browsing through their lists of classic and modern songs. And by modern, I really mean the newest collection of songs not found on most singing hubs.


What sets this new place apart from its competition perhaps is their videoke machines. Consists of a flat screen TV and high end speakers, any other videoke place would certainly pale in comparison.



Southern KTV also serves food and liquor, including the most common pulutans, and even (believe it or not) pizza pie. All their service and accomodations for only P120!
