The same 911 service as America’s and Canada’s! 

By dialing 911, residents needing assistance can immediatelysummon responders to the scene of emergency !

The Central 911 was officially launched in September 2002 to addressemergency calls for criminal incidents needing police assistance andnow it also caters to emergency medical services, urban search andrescue operations, fire auxiliary services, and K-9 units.

Davao’s 911 service simplified the emergency process by integratingall the government’s emergency response resources (ambulance,rescue technicians, firefighters, K-9, and the police) into one.

A Filipino holding a cigarette while walking past a child?You cannot see the guy like him in Davao city!

Davao’s original Comprehensive Anti-Smoking Ordinance which was enactedin 2002 has been implemented until now.

Davao was named the 1st 100% smoke-free metropolitan in Asean countryby the Southeast Asia Tobacco Control Alliance in 2013.

The case study for Davao ciry’s smoke-free agendas was published by WHO.(http://www.who.int/kobe_centre/publications/smokefree_case_study_davao_city/en/)

If you really need to smoke, you will have to do it in your place of residenceor a designated smoking area. 

Davao’s 7 Eleven doesn’t sell cigarettes!

Speeding, overtaking, and racing have been rarely seen on thestreets of Davao

since drivers in Davao can only go as fast as 30 kph downtown,and a maximum of 60 kph in the city borders because of the speed limit ordinance.

About 20 percent decrease in the minor road accidentsand 60 percent decrease in fatal road accidents was reporteda year after the implementation of the ordinance,

and the city has been much safer now. 

In Davao city, taxi drivers are prohibited from doing contract fares.

Instead, fares are based on meters which gives passengers more security.

Drivers who violate this are to be penalized with fines amounting to P5,000.

In fact, the city is know for having the friendliest, most honest, and most courteoustaxi drivers

and Davao City’s government and local police awarded 19 taxi drivers for returningvaluable items left behind by their passengers.

The curfew in selling and serving alcoholic beverages(from 1:00 AM to 8:00 AM) took effect in 2013.

This ordinance was designed to reduce accidents and crimes caused byalcohol intoxication.

As a result, the ordinance has reduced the number of drunkards walking in thestreets in the wee hours, which is why walking in Davao city streets at night is

significantly safer than in other cities!

Firecracker is totally banned in Davao.

So you can enjoy safe New year’s Eve, or have agood night sleep instead, not being disturbed bythe noise like firecracker.

Here in Davao, you can join the annual DavaoTorotot Festival, with the sound of hundreds ofblazing trumpets being a worthy successor offirecrackers.
