THE POLICE Regional Office XI has intensified security measures across the Davao Region following a travel advisory from the Australian government regarding potential terrorist threats in parts of Mindanao.
Despite the warning, police emphasized that the Davao Region remains “generally peaceful, stable, and secure,” with no direct threats currently being monitored in the area.
In compliance with directives from PNP Director General Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr., PRO XI has deployed additional personnel to sustain “intensified police visibility” and proactive security operations.
B/Gen Leon Victor Z. Rosete said they increased monitoring of terminals and ports, including business establishments and tourist destinations.
They also enhanced coordination with the Armed Forces of the Philippines and local government units.
While the PNP acknowledges that travel advisories are precautionary measures issued by foreign governments for their own citizens, PRO XI maintains that they treat such information with the utmost seriousness.
“We want to assure everyone that the Davao Region remains peaceful and that your police force continues to work 24/7 to keep our communities safe,” said Rosete.
Police authorities are urging the public to report any suspicious activities or individuals to the nearest police station or through official hotlines to help preserve the region’s peace and order.
