3月16日から開催されていた1年に一度のダバオのフェスティバル「第81回 Araw ng Dabaw」。初日の16日にはParada Dabawenyoがダウンタウンエリアで行われ、多くの地元民や観光客が見守る中、滞りなくプログラムが行われた。
パレードが安全に開催することができたのは、多くの人出を予想し、治安部隊や様々な関係者により準備されたセキュリティ対策が功を奏したといえるだろう。ダバオ市警察署(Davao City Police Office:以下、DCPO)のアレクサンダー・タガム氏は、相当な数の観客が押し寄せた今回のパレードも、パレードルートに十分な人員を配備したことで、全てをコントロールすることができたと語っている。
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
