The Davao City Police Office (DCPO) bared that security measures are already in place for the inauguration of incoming Davao City Mayor Sebastian “Baste” Duterte on Monday, June 27, 2022.
The security will be intensified due to the expected attendance of President Rodrigo Duterte at his son’s oath taking.
The Mayor Baste’s oath taking will be administered by Judge Loida Posadas-Kahulugan at the Sangguniang Panlungsod (SP) session hall at 2:55 p.m. and will proceed to give his speech outside the City Hall Building.
DCPO spokesperson Police Major Maria Teresita Gaspan, in an interview with the Davao City Disaster Radio on Friday, same security operations during the oath taking of Vice President-elect Sara Duterte on June 19, 2022, will be implemented for the incoming mayor’s inauguration.
She said 941 security personnel from the security cluster will be dedicated to providing full-security coverage during the oath taking. This will be composed of the security cluster from the Davao City Police Office, the city government of Davao, Davao City Public Safety and Security Command Center (PSSCC), Central 911, Task Force Davao, and the Philippine Army.
She also reminded the public that pointed objects as well as jackets, backpacks, and alcoholic drinks are prohibited.
“Magpadayon gihapon atong mga restrictions, tong atoang mga ginabawal. Naa’y entry points masinati pa nato dinha sa San Pedro. Naa gihapon atong pag-inspection sa kada tao og unsa ilang mga dala. Ang concept nato sa operation ani three-tiered layer gihapon ‘no. Didto sa inner layer didto sa sulod mismo sa event kung asa pagahimuon ang oath-taking. Tapos sa middle layer aduna tay nakalatag na kapulisan and other counterparts, and sa outer layer naa ta’y mag-manage sa traffic og mag-conduct sa checkpoints,” she said.
