Mayor Inday Sara Duterte thanked and praised the men behind Task Force Davao for their sacrifices to ensure that the city is peaceful and safe.
Speaking during the TF Davao’s 14th founding anniversary, Mayor Inday took note of the anti-terror unit’s vital role in maintaining the city’s peace and order.
“The ultimate challenge is to mark years of living peacefully and freely and that is something that we should always strive to attain,” Mayor Inday said.
Speaking with the media, the mayor noted that she expected only the best from the anti-terror group.
“Keep Davao City peaceful and terror-free,” she said, referring to her order to TF Davao. “We do not seek perfection, but we do expect them to do their best.”
TF Davao was created on April 16, 2003 in response to the series of bombings in the city.
“I’d like to personally extend my gratitude to the men on the ground, kanang mga naga-painit, naga-paulan, all-weather naa mo dinha alang-alang sa pag bantay sa atoang siyudad ug katawhan nga malinawon ang ilahang pagpuyo dinhi sa atong siyudad,” Mayor Inday said.
She said her trust with the TF Davao remained and she always expected it to perform its task — to maintain peace in the city by preventing terrorists from coming in.
She also distributed gift certificates to TF Davao members as a simple token of the city government for their hard work for the city.
Task Force Davao Commander Col. Erwin Bernard Neri also thanked Mayor Inday for her continued support and trust to the anti-terror unit.
“Everything that is happening right now, the peace and order that we have is because of the support of our city mayor,” Neri said. CIO
