2018年1月、総額4000万ペソを投じて建設が行わる4階建ての大型市立図書館の起工式がダバオ市内で行われた。
建設予定の同図書館について、館長となるペドリタ・バダール氏はインタビューにおいて、ダウンタウンエリア内のC. Bangoy通り脇にあるCentral 911の旧施設の取り壊しを行い、そこに新たに図書館を建設することを明らかにした。
1階は障害者や子供たち、高齢者向けの造りになっているほか、利便性の高いエレベーターも設置される。また、PCエリアも予定されており、30台のパソコンが利用できるようになるという。
また同氏は新たなスタッフの雇用も視野に入れていると述べ、まずは運営開始から6ヶ月間にわたって状況を観察した上で、その必要性を検討すると述べた。
同プロジェクトはPhilippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR)が資金援助を行っており、市立図書館の建設は2019年内に完了する見込みである。
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. You can support us using PayPal or credit card (debit card) below. We look forward to your cooperation. See more news articles
