ダバオ市では市が主導する公園整備プロジェクトにて、計画にない樹木の伐採が行われたとして問題となっている。これに関し、ダバオ市長のサラ・ドゥテルテ＝カルピオ氏は市民に対し謝罪した。
伐採のあった公園は市内中心部に位置し、多くの市民が訪れるClifford Parkだ。当初の計画では樹木を伐採せず、公園の一部を子ども用の広場に整備、拡張する予定だった。
フィリピンでは許可なく木を伐採することは、大統領令第705号および改正フィリピン森林法で禁止されいる。またダバオ市は環境に配慮した都市づくりを目指して様々な施策を講じており、今回の件は市にとって大きな問題だといえる。
市議会では環境天然資源省に説明を求める声もあったが、市長の謝罪で市議会は落ち着きを取り戻した。また市長はClifford Parkに新しく木を植え、その他の様々な環境問題も素早く解決していくと説明した。

Thank you for your continued support of Davao’s portal site “Davaotchi”. “Davaotchi” is an information portal about Davao that has been running for about seven and a half years since September 2016 with the aim of conveying the charms of Davao to Japanese people in Japanese and making them more aware of Davao. Thanks to everyone’s support, we have gained a certain amount of recognition, such as being featured in a magazine, and many people have started to hear the term “Dabaotchi”. On the other hand, we have prioritized the mission of conveying the charms of Davao to as many Japanese people as possible, so there is almost no profitability, and we have allocated the profits generated from other businesses to the site management, but we have no plans for the future. As a result of careful consideration of scalability and development, Davaotchi has decided to recruit supporters who can support Davaotchi in order to better manage the site. We considered charging for the site or introducing a subscription plan, but we wanted to deliver information about Davao to as many people as possible, so we decided to simply ask for support from Davaochi fans first.
