It
pisses me off when someone says that Davao city is not a safe place
to be, well, if that someone will go to Davao city it will no longer
be safe. :p Some people quickly make a sweeping assumption from everything they hear in the news. Can you please do a research first?
A bomb that explodes in Maguindanao or Basilan doesn't reach Davao,
even the tiniest particles of its debris won't make its way there.
The city is a law and order place. The city's current mayor and her
father who is now the vice mayor (the city's ex-mayor) rule the city with
iron fist. As they say, less crime doesn't mean no crime, but Davao
has the least crime rate in all the cities in the Philippines. You
can even walk along the busiest streets in Davao without worrying
that someone might snatch your bag.
I've
read some news in the internet that among the cities in the
Philippines, Davao city has the most advanced and state-of-the-art
Traffic Monitoring Center which is patterned after Los Angeles,
California. IBM and the local government helped the city improve its
existing Public Safety and Security Command Center (PSSCC) by
integrating city operations into a single system to enhance the
public safety operations in the city. It serves as the center for
a balanced and harmonious coordination regarding public safety with Davao city police office,
city health office and city social services and devlopment offices,
central 911, fire bureau, and many more. In addition, it is equipped
with a Weather Monitoring and Flood Alert System which aids
communication of all obtained information with the responders and
concerned officials. Davao has a 911 emergency response unit that
responds to any emergency situation quickly. If you are worrying about the nearby cities, don't be because there are regular checkpoints in
Davao city and its boundaries as safeguard against terrorism or any
illegal activities that want to get in.
Just
a piece of advice, if you are an illegal drug user/dealer or a
criminal, don't ever set a foot on Davao city's ground, otherwise,
you'll end up sleeping forever 6 feet below the ground. We have this
so-called DDS (Davao Death Squad) who rides a motorcycle and shoots
illegal drug users, dealers, and criminals. It is even rumored
that some illegal drug addicts prefer to get themselves locked behind
bars than be killed by the DDS on the streets. Thus,
don't do your monkey business in Davao if you don't want to go
bankrupt or, worse, get killed by the vigilants.
