| General Note |
- General note - Standing some, 18m. high, the Japanese obelisk at Mintal is said to have been erected by Kyosaburo S. Ohta, a Kobe merchant who came to Davao in 1903. He exemplified the Japanese who came here and made fortunes through patience and industry. He organized the Ohta Development Co. in 1904, planted his 1,015 plantation with coconut and abaca trees and employed Japanese as well as native laborer in his enterprise. He introduced the spindle method of stripping abaca fibers and was a factor in making abaca a chief export product at that time.
