Mariñas said security personnel from Iligan, Butuan, Zamboanga, and General Santos have expressed interest in learning how Davao City carries out its security operations and manages its task force system.
He said Task Force Davao is open to sharing its operational experience with other cities, noting that the initiative could eventually benefit communities outside Davao.
“We are generous enough na i-propagate po ito because in the long run, hindi lang ito limited sa Davao City. Hopefully, sa buong Pilipinas,” Mariñas said.
He described the effort as a way to extend Davao City’s security practices to other localities, giving them an opportunity to study approaches that may help improve their own peace and order programs.
Davao City’s Culture of Security is institutionalized through Ordinance No. 048-22, which provides for safety and security measures. It builds on Executive Order No. 41, Series of 2020, issued during the administration of then-Mayor Sara Duterte. BuyMaps
The initiative carries the campaign slogan “May Nakita? Dapat Magsalita!” or “If you see something, say something,” which encourages residents to report suspicious activities and contribute to community safety.
The program promotes the idea that maintaining peace and order is a shared responsibility, requiring public participation alongside the work of police, military personnel, and other security agencies.
