Duterte assures of safe, peaceful Palaro By Lito delos Reyes PhilBoxing.com Wed, 22 Apr 2015  DAVAO CITY --- Mayor Rody Duterte assured the expected more than 1,5000 delegates and guests of the coming Palarong Pambansa 2015 of safety since there is no clear and present threat to disrupt the games on May 3-9 in Tagum City. Duterte disclosed it during the meeting of the Regional Peace and Order Council 11 held in Davao del Norte. In a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the highest threat level, Duterte revealed the threat level on the week-long Palaro is only three. However, Duterte, who is the RPOC-11 chairman, insisted on implementing maximum security measures despite the low threat level. ?The reaction of government is always the same be it 1 or 10 ang security threat. I expect nothing but I am prepared for everything,? Duterte said. He has also called on the New People?s Army and other armed groups to stay away during the duration of the games. Duterte, however, assured that if there is any threat at all, it will certainly not come from the NPAs, since it is not their character to create chaos during such kind of events. The mayor further pledged that Davao City will lend security and medical support, in addition to the P1-million financial sponsorship they provided earlier to Davao del Norte, in order to help fuel the success of the Palaro. Davao del Norte is hosting the 2015 edition of the largest school-based games supported by the Tagum Agricultural Development Company Inc. or TADECO, Damosa Land, Davao Packaging Corporation (DPC), Davao International Container Terminal, Inc. (DICT) and Pearl Farm Beach Resort. Governor Rodolfo del Rosario acknowledged Duterte for his backing and for being on top of the security and safety plan for the national games. ?I am personally at ease that we will be able to provide unparalleled safety to everyone,? he said heaving a sigh of relief. ?With the backing of the whole Davao Region, there is no reason for us to fail.?
