フィリピンの首都、メトロマニラのマンダルヨン市内で発生した警察追跡の不手際、不慮の事故により社員38人が死亡したダバオ市のNCCCモールの大火災など、2017年には相次いで大きな問題・災害が発生した。
この事態を重く受け止めたロドリゴ・ドゥテルテ大統領は1月3日、ダバオ市内の大統領ゲストハウスにて警察および消防に対し説教を行ったことを、大統領特別補佐のBong Go氏が明らかにした。
また同氏は、大統領は消防に向けて「911の非常事態対応」の講義を行なったことも明らかにしている。同会場にはフィリピン消防庁、ダバオ市警察署、フィリピン国家警察・交通管理グループ（PNP-HPG）の幹部、ならびにEduardo Año内務次官らも参加していた。
緊急時における政府の対応能力の甘さが浮き彫りとなった一連の出来事を受けドゥテルテ大統領は、演説で集まった警察・消防の関係者らに現状の深刻さを再認識するよう求めた。
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. You can support us using PayPal or credit card (debit card) below. We look forward to your cooperation. See more news articles
