The Task Force Davao is intensifying the propagation of Davao City’s security campaign dubbed as “Culture of Security” by providing audio-visual presentations (AVPs) to elementary and high school students.
Army Captain John Louie Dema-ala, spokesperson of Task Force Davao, said on Wednesday that they are coordinating with the regional office of the Department of Education (DepEd 11), teachers, and parents in the promotion of the Culture of Security.
“Ang AVP plug and play lang. Tagaan ug copy ang mga teachers kung vacant time i-play na lang nila ug didto sa AVP makita na kung unsa ang programa na Culture of Security. Mapasalamaton usab ang Task Force davao after sa ilang courtesy call sa regional director sa DepEd. Aduna silay gi offer na media platform para mas ma-propagate pa ang Culture of Security. Aduna ta’y coordination sa mga parents and students para dili pud nato sila ma-violate based sa ilahang rights,” he said over Davao City Disaster Radio (DCDR) on Wednesday.
Dema-ala also said that there is no militarization in this campaign.
The campaign dubbed “May Nakita? Dapat Magsalita!” was rolled out in 2020 by the city government and the Task Force Davao following the issuance of former Mayor Sara Duterte’s Executive Order No. 41, an Order Encouraging Dabawenyos to Adopt the Culture of Security as Part of their Way of Life.
All Dabawenyos are urged to put into practice the four acts of the culture of security – volunteer, report, remind, and participate – as part of the effort, which aims to enhance peace and order and prevent all acts of terrorism in Davao City.
The “May Nakita? Dapat Magsalita!” campaign emphasizes vigilance and for the public to report suspicious individuals and activities immediately to the security units.
The campaign was already propagated among security and transport sectors, hotels, inns, and even in the religious sector.
