THE Davao City Police Office (DCPO) assures the public of the strict security implementation for the commemoration of the 38th Edsa People Power Revolution this Sunday, February 25, 2024, as around 290 police personnel will be deployed in several areas where rallies are staged.
Philippine police have refuted social media posts that warned certain public landmarks in the southern Philippine city of Davao would be bombed in early February 2024 as "retaliation" for a rally held there by supporters of former president Rodrigo Duterte. There were no official reports of any bombings in the city on the date cited in the posts. A similar false claim about a bomb threat for Davao has been circulating online since at least 2016.
CONTRARY to initial reports, the Davao City Police Office (DCPO) clarified that the case involving the two-year-old infant reported missing on February 17 will not be labeled as a "kidnapping" incident.
There is no truth to the text message regarding a bomb threat during the People's Initiative (PI) “Unity for One Nation, One Prayer” rally at San Pedro Square in San Pedro Street, Davao City. The information received by the Davao City Police Office (DCPO) on Sunday afternoon, January 28, hours before the start of the rally was refuted by the city police spokesperson, Captain Hazel Tuazon.
DCPO successfully ensures safety and peace at 'Unity for One Nation, One Prayer' rally. Over 53,000 Filipinos gather to oppose Charter change. Despite bomb scare, event concludes peacefully with strong collaboration between security forces and attendees.
