The distribution will run from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on a first-come, first-served basis.

Senior citizens from the first congressional district including those residing in Poblacion A, Poblacion B, Talomo A and Talomo B are scheduled on July 22.

Around 20 groups and organizations of persons with disability (PWDs) joined the weekly flag ceremony on Monday to mark the start of the 47th National Disability Rights (NDR) Week.

Davao City Social Welfare Development Office Head Julie P. Dayaday read Davao City's Proclamation No.1, which declared July 17-23, 2025 the 47th National Disability Rights (NDR) week.

Signed by Acting Mayor Sebastian "Baste" Duterte, the proclamation states that the City Government of Davao recognizes the efforts of the national government in promoting the welfare of PWDs.

"With the theme 'Innovation for Inclusion: Building Inclusive Communities Together', NDR Week 2025 recognizes the importance of innovation in breaking barriers and providing PWDs more access to opportunities as we now move towards a more inclusive future where we may all continue to become partners in nation building," the proclamation reads.

The proclamation also declared that City Government committed to supporting PWDs and taking the lead in implementing programs, projects, and services for their welfare.

Dayaday, in an interview, said that this year's observance of the National Disability Rights (NDR) Week is bigger compared to the previous year.

"Karon medyo daghan ta'g activities nga gipahigayon para ma involve og ma aware ang mga tao unsa ka importante gyud ang paghatag nato'g importansya sa atong PWD because dili man gud ta exclusive, inclusivity mao man gyud na atong panawagan. This time naa naman taโ€™y PDAO Officer IV, [ang PDAO], isa ka division under CSWDO led by Atty. Redendo Martinez, since naa'y nakatutok naka focus mao na'ng daghan kaayo ta'g activities this year. (We are holding many activities to involve the people and to help in the awareness campaign on the value of giving importance to our PWDs, because our call is not to be exclusive, but inclusive. This time we also have a PDAO Office IV, and the PDAO is already a division under the CSWDO and is being led by Atty. Redendo Martinez)," Dayaday said.

She said that Atty. Martinez also spearheads the proposal for the annual financial subsidy for PWDs.

The proposal has already been forwarded to the Sangguniang Panlungsod after it was reviewed by the City Legal Office (CLO).

Dayaday said they were hopeful that the ordinance will be approved this year as the financial assistance could help children with special needs who needed therapy.

As of July 14, the city has more than 20,000 PWDs, young and old.

Among the incoming activities for the celebration are the paragames (July 19), and the product display to be held at NCC Victoria Plaza from July 21-23, 2025. CIO

Winners of the 2025 Destination Davao Videomaking Contest showcased what makes a Dabawenyo proud, with videos that captured the heart and soul of the city and its people.

Destination Davao is an annual videomaking contest spearheaded by the City Information Office, which seeks to highlight and promote Davao City through videos produced by local filmmakers and hobbyists.

The contest ran from May 13 to June 23, 2025 and was themed โ€œDestination Davao 2025: .โ€

Among the winners was Liwalente Films, with their entry โ€œOur Late Night Project,โ€ which won third place in the said contest.

The production team was composed of students who brought a different perspective in promoting the city with a short film-like take on the theme.

Destination Davao judges praised the groupโ€™s unique approach in promoting Davao City, and defining what makes a Dabawenyo proud.

Judge Julie AR Sibala, a Multimedia Arts Professor, said during the judging of the event that the productionโ€™s entry is also a good encouragement for students and young filmmakers to take part in such competitions.

โ€œFor the younger generation to have this kind of input or perspective, nakita nato nga they put so much effort nga wala nila ginadula-dula lang (For the younger generation to have this kind of input or perspective, we saw how they put in so much effortโ€”that they took this seriously),โ€ Judge Tio Moreno, Writer and Social Media Influencer, added.

โ€œProud and Progressing,โ€ New Sight Cinemaโ€™s entry, which bagged the second prize for the Destination Davao 2025, showed how the city grew with its people.

The video emphasized the cityโ€™s improvement and development alongside Dabawenyos who also continued to bring pride and honor to the city.

โ€œThe video depicted how Davao City is progressing not just because of the infrastructures, but most importantly because of the people,โ€ Moreno said.

Out of the nine entries, Media Creโ€™s โ€œPanahananโ€ stood out with its near perfect balance of creative and technical approach in showcasing what makes Dabawenyos proud.

Judge Ryan de los Reyes, Professional Videographer, said during the judging of the competition that Panahanan emphasized that Davao may be known for the Durian, Waling-Waling, Philippine Eagle, and the Mt. Apo, but there is much more to that.

Through carefully strung metaphors anchored beyond the symbolism of Davaoโ€™s icons, Panahan was able to highlight the cityโ€™s tourist destinations while also putting an emphasis on how Davao is not just a home for the people who grew up in the city, but also to everyone who only came to either visit or plant their roots in the city.

โ€œNice iyahang beginning because gi-point out niya nga ilado na ta sa atoang icons. He was trying to tell us na we are more than that (It was good that the video started by pointing out that Davao City is already known for its icons, and then telling us that we are more than these icons),โ€ de los Reyes said.

โ€œAng iyahang focus nga Davao is a home. Balay siya nga dawaton ka, sa bisan kinsa man ka (It focuses on how Davao City is home. It is a home that will welcome you),โ€ Sibala added.

Meanwhile, Jouveniel Phej Villanuevaโ€™s โ€œThis is How We Liveโ€ received the Special Distinction Award with its depiction of how the discipline, honesty, and integrity of Dabawenyos are just some of the things that make the city and its people proud.

It highlighted how Dabawenyos and visitors alike are free to roam around the city even at night without fear of falling victims to criminal acts such that the city is known for its peace and order, one that is achieved through the collaborative efforts of Dabawenyos and the cityโ€™s safety and security cluster.

Winners of the Destination Davao videomaking contest are entitled to cash prizes, trophies, and certificates.

The City Government of Davao, through the Public Safety and Security Office (PSSO), held on Friday a multi-sectoral security and safety forum at Grand Men Seng Hotel.

A total of 63 representatives from hospitals, pawnshops, schools, hotels, bus companies, van terminals, security services and
KTV Bars attended the forum.

PSSO Head Angel Sumagaysay told Madayaw that the event was the second leg of the multi-sectoral forums that aims to generate feedback from stakeholders, in line with the continued implementation of safety and security policies, and programs within the city.

"Platform nato siya para mapadungog nato sa atong stakeholders for the development of Davao. In fact, 63 ka nga companies nagpadala sila og mga representatives ang pinaka importante ang mga pangutana nila. (This is a platform to listen to our stakeholders for the development of Davao. In fact, there are 63 companies that sent representatives --their questions to our speakers are very important),โ€ Sumagaysay said.

During the forum, the PSSO shared its services and programs, primarily its role in the enforcement of the CCTV Ordinance and other ordinances in security and safety while the City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office representative informed the participants about the areas that can be potentially hit by tsunamis, the emergency warning systems and disaster preparedness measures. The City Transport and Traffic Management Office also briefed the participants about general road rules and the corresponding fines and penalties for common traffic violations.

The Philippine Drug and Enforcement Agency, according to Sumagaysay, also provided an update on the status of illegal drugs in Davao City. Speakers from other safety and security offices were also invited.

"In this forum naa tanan tanan nga gusto mahibaloan sa atong mga stakehodlers (In this forum, everything that the stakeholders would like to know are given)," Sumagsaysay said, adding that they are planning another multi-sectoral security and safety forum for the youth.

Sumagaysay said that the stakeholders in the forum were informed that the city is the second safest city in the whole Philippines based on the World Travel Index.

He added that this would not have been possible without the stakeholders' help. He also said that the fast propagation of the culture of security and the compliance of Dabawenyos with the safety and security protocols in Davao City also helped attain the said feat.

Sumagaysay added that Dabawenyos' adherence to local safety and security policies is a precursor to the city's rising development and continued progress.

"Nakita nato nga very obedient ang mga taga Davao City, so dili gyud imposible nga makab-ot nato ang atong gipangandoy nga tuloy-tuloy nga development and progress sa Davao City (We saw that Dabawenyos are very obedient, so it is not remote that we can attain our dreams of continued development and progress in Davao City)," he said.

The Davao City Investment Promotion Center (DCIPC) amplified its promotions initiatives to further attract domestic and international investors.

With over P3.4 billion-worth of actual investments in 2024, the DCIPC is set to enhance the existing Investor Incentive Code of the city to make investing in Davao City faster and more rewarding.

The 21st Davao City Council on Tuesday approved on its first reading the proposed amendments to the incentive code.

These amendments aim to align the cityโ€™s investment policies with sustainable development priorities while enhancing their relevance and responsiveness.

Currently, investors may avail of several fiscal and non-fiscal incentives based on the existing incentive code.

Fiscal incentives include three years of business tax exemption; two years of real property tax exemption; and three years of mayorโ€™s permit, fees, and licenses exemption.

Should the business decide to invest in preferred districts like Calinan, Paquibato, Marilog, and Baguio, they are entitled to five years of business tax exemption; five years of real property tax exemption; and five years of mayorโ€™s permit, fees, and licenses exemption.

Non-fiscal incentives include the programs and services offered by the DCIPC to investors which include business information data-banking, and investment counselling and business matching.

The DCIPC will also facilitate processing of local permits and licenses, as well as arrange site visits.

On top of these, the DCIPC also assists investors in finding ideal locations for certain projects based on the cityโ€™s approved zoning ordinance.

โ€œWe at DCIPC are committed to guiding investors every step of the way, providing seamless processes and personalized support so they can thrive in the city we proudly call the prime investment destination in the Philippines,โ€ Christian Cambaya, Acting Head of the DCIPC, said in an interview.

โ€œDavao City is not just open for business, it is ready for the future. Our top investment sectors reflect the cityโ€™s commitment to inclusive, sustainable, and innovation-driven development. Whether youโ€™re in real estate, agri-enterprise, clean energy, or tech-enabled services, thereโ€™s a place and a promise for you in Davao,โ€ he added.

Interested investors may reach the DCIPC through its email at [email protected] or call them at (082) 285-5750 to know more about location availability, logistics hubs, and investment perks. CIO

The City Government of Davao on Thursday convened the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) that will monitor public utility vehicles (PUVs) and end incidents of overcharging and contracting of passengers.

Atty. Eduardo Perez IV, Acting Head of the City Transport and Traffic Management Office (CTTMO), during the ISpeak Media Forum said the IATF was convened to discuss updates and reports as well as monitor complaints related to PUVs.

The IATF is composed of members from the transport sector including the CTTMO, Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board-XI (LTFRB-XI), Land Transportation Office (LTO) XI, Philippine National Police-Traffic Enforcement Unit (PNP-TEU), City Planning and Development Office (CPDO), Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP), City Information Office (CIO)-Davao City Reports (DCR), Davao City Overland Transport Terminal (DCOTT), Sanggunian Panlungsodโ€™s Committee on Transportation and Communications.

The majority of the reports presented during the meeting were complaints sent to the DCR, the official grievance platform of the City Government of Davao.

Perez explained that since transport and traffic management has wider scope, different natures of issues are catered to by different agencies.

He also clarified that the CTTMOโ€™s regulatory capacity is limited to other PUVs including motorized tricycle for hire and pedal-pushed ones, while fare regulation of taxis is under the LTFRB.

The IATF will handle PUV-related passenger complaints such as overcharging, contracting, refusal to render service or convey passengers to destination, and abusive or reckless driver behavior.

It shall also oversee and ensure that PUV drivers and operators are compliant to laws and policies on road safety and transport operations.

Dabawenyos who have encountered PUV-related incidents such as overcharging, contracting of passengers, and refusal or failure to convey passengers may file their complaints through the DCR Web App: https://reports.davaocity.gov.ph/ or by sending the complaints through email: [email protected].

The public may also send their reports to these DCR numbers: 0917 131 2333 or 0919 072 2222; or message its Official page: https://www.facebook.com/davaocityreports. CIO

Byaheng DO30

Byaheng DO30 is a 3-year initiative of at least 30 doable and meaningful projects starting 2016. These projects would contribute to the security and sustainable development of Davao City. We can achieve security and development if we are able to reduce poverty incidence, create a skilled and educated workforce and support globally competitive businesses.

The City Government of Davao envisions a future for Davao City where families can provide sufficient food for themselves, their children are skilled or college graduates and they live in decent housing.

The administration has identified ten priority areas to build Davao City around this vision. These priorities are Poverty Alleviation, Infrastructure Development, Solid Waste Management, Education, Health, Agriculture, Tourism, Transportation Planning and Traffic Management, Peace and Order, and Disaster Risk Reduction and Mitigation.
