6月4日から各学校が新学期を迎えるダバオ地方。胸を躍らせて登校する学生たちの安全を守るため、ダバオ市警察地方事務所（Police Regional Office 11：以下、PRO‐Davao）は私立・公立学校に対して人員を配置し、学生の安全を監視することを発表した。
各学校には少なくとも2名の警察官が配置され、必要に応じて人数を増やすとのこと。さらに彼らは監視だけでなく学校周辺のルートの見回りも行う予定だ。
またPRO‐Davaoは、セキュリティ拡大のため、学生からの懸念や相談を受け付けるPolice Assistance Desksを校内に開設する予定であるほか、歩行者の道路横断の支援も行う。
ダバオ地方では数年前から犯罪率の減少に強く取り組んでおり、2017年9月時点の犯罪率は23.03%も減少し、ダバオ市では26.22パーセントの減少を記録している。2016年12月時点の犯罪数は10,269件に対して、2017年同月は7,576件と著しく減った。このことから、ダバオ市はフィリピンのみならず、世界で最も安全な都市の1つとされている。
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.
