HISTORY
Davao’s rich history1 attributed to the robust development that it achieved today. It began as a
distinct geopolitical entity, where Lumads and Moros2 gained a strong foothold.
The early inhabitants played a vital role to keep Davao Gulf free from foreign dominion. With
the stalwart leadership of Davao Gulf Chief Datu Bago, the territory remained unscathed.
It was only in 1848 when the Spanish conquest started to gain a ground following the arrival of
Don Jose Cruz de Oyanguren, a native of Vergara, Guipuzcoa in Spain, along with his 70
comrades. The Oyanguren-led group partnered with Datu Daupan, chief of Samal Mandayas,
who wanted to get even with Datu Bago.
Amid Datu Bago’s strong resistance, the foreign group launched massive attacks. Oyanguren
ordered the establishment of palisade in Piapi for his defense and installation of causeway
across swamps to bring canons within range of Datu Bago’s settlement. Navy Commanding
General Don Manuel Quesada also joined in the fight against Datu Bago. Their attacks
prospered as Datu Bago and his defenders were outgunned, which eventually resulted to
Oyanguren’s possession of Davao Gulf in 1849.
Oyanguren managed to possess the territory despite the lack of support from the government
in Manila and his principals. Small progress was made to spur the economy of the gulf region.
Oyanguren also urged the different tribes like Mandayas and Manobos to live in settlements to
reach them for trade and commerce. The Moros, however, threatened those who would
collaborate with the Spaniards.
As way to indicate Spanish rule, Oyanguren named the Gulf Region “Nueva Vergara.” It was
eventually renamed to “Davao” following the strong clamor of Davaoeños. Davao was derived
from three subgroups of Bagobo indigenous peoples as the Tagabawa called the settlement
“Dabo,” the Guiangan dubbed it “Dawaw” and the Obo tagged it “Davah.” The pioneer Christian
inhabitants of the area were the proponents behind the official adoption of Davao in 1868.
The native inhabitants also became Christians when Jesuit missionaries achieved to pursue
conversion of religious faith in 1868. The Jesuit fathers were able to encourage the tribes to live
in settlements where they can learn Christian precepts and practices.

Moros here is used interchangeably with Muslims, which refers to believers of Islam. Muslim is the preferred
usage in Islamic countries in the Middle East, where Islam believers were called Moors before. Moros refer
specifically to believers of Islam in Southeastern Philippines as distinguished from the Moors of earlier century,
who were Islam believers in Southern Spain and North Africa.
1
Some Muslims were urged to become Christians upon the mandate of their leaders, Datu Timan
and Datu Porkan, while there were still Muslims who remained steadfast in their Islam faith.
Father Saturnino Urios, who labored among the Moros of Hijo in 1892, further swayed the
latter’s faith that led to the great divide. Those who wanted to live among the Christians left
Hijo. They were resettled in Tigatto and Ma-a, under the supervision of Don Francisco Bangoy
and Don Teodoro Palma Gil Sr., respectively. The separatist groups refer themselves now as
Kagans.
The Spaniards’ reign in Davao was cut short after 50 years of occupation with the continuous
resistance of the Lumads and Moros. They decided to fully abandon Davao in 1899.
In December 1898, the Americans started to colonize Davao. The American settlers, mostly
retired soldiers and investors from Zamboanga, Cebu, Manila and United States, recognized the
rich potential of Davao for agricultural venture as there were vast areas of primeval forest
lands. Noting its rich soil, the Americans started to propagate rubber, abaca and coconut in
addition to different varieties of tropical plants imported from Ceylon, India, Hawaii, Java and
Malaysia. The robust foreign agriculture investments pulled Davao up to serves as one of the
major producers of export products such as abaca, copra and lumber in the first two decades of
20th century. Davao also became a regular port of call by inter-island shipping and began direct
trade linkages abroad to markets like United States, Japan and Australia.
In 1903, Japanese began to arrive as they experienced spike in taxes after Meiji restoration in
their country. From recording 30 Japanese in 1903, their population in Davao grew to 20,000 in
1941. One of them was Ohta Kyozaburo who brought 180 Japanese workers from Benguet in
1905. He was among the notable business persons with investments including abaca plantation
and general merchandise store. Another investor, Yoshizo Furukawa arrived and began to
infuse with a starting capital of ₱100,000 that grew to ₱10 million in 1941. The Japanese
eventually managed to surpass the Americans in dominating Davao with regards on
investments in 1920.
The national government also urged the landless persons from Luzon and Visayas to reside in
Mindanao. With the growing population, vital infrastructure projects such as roads leading to
inaccessible plains were constructed. This move further bolstered the development of Davao.
The continuous influx of non-locals and investors buoyed with the economic boom made the
municipality to become a City. On October 16, 1936, under the administration of President
Manuel L. Quezon in the Commonwealth era, Davao became the chartered City. This was made
by virtue of Commonwealth Act No. 51, also known as the Charter of the City of Davao, under
the sponsorship of Assemblyman Romualdo C. Quimpo. Davao, as a City, was inaugurated on
March 1, 1937 with Interior Secretary Elpidio Quirino, who served as President Quezon’s
representative in the ceremony. The City’s territory spanned 244,000 hectares that covered the
Municipality of Davao and Municipal District of Guianga.
2
In 1937, the City’s population reached 68,000, which further grew to 98,000 in 1940. Despite
the toll and dispersion caused by Japanese invasion in December 1941, the City’s population
increased to 111,263 in 1946. The figures doubled to 227,635 in 1960. It almost hit a million-
mark when the City’s population reached to 750,000 in 1970, according to population estimates
by officials and business sector.
But during World War II, Davao suffered the impact of destruction, causing major setbacks to
the City’s economic and physical strides. The strong presence of Japanese forces made the City
become the subject of American army led by General Mac Arthur to constant bombings, long
before the American Liberation Forces landed in Leyte in October 1945.
The Japanese forces also established pillboxes and tunnels. The City became the venue where
the longest battle campaign took place in the liberation of the Philippines. It was in mid-August
1945 when the Japanese officials surrendered. Most of the Japanese inhabitants also returned
to Japan, leaving their houses and investments in Davao.
Thousands of local rebels, meanwhile, managed to infiltrate the Japanese-owned plantations.

There was also a deluge of refugees from the mountains, which added to the physical and
economic problems of Davao.
After the World War II, rehabilitation efforts were pursued with the assistance from the officials
of US Army’s PCAU-29. President Manuel Roxas also vowed to distribute properties to the war
veterans. Gradually, the City regained its status as the premier agricultural and trade center in
Mindanao. Abaca was replaced by other products such as logs, lumber, plywood, copra and
banana as the major export commodities. Fruits like mangoes and bananas were produced for
country-wide consumption. Thousands of manual miners also started to extract precious metals
in Mt. Diwata, Northern Davao and eastern side of Davao Gulf in Boringot, Pantukan.
In 1955, Davao City was finally granted to conduct elections for local government positions,
including mayor, vice mayor and 10 councilors, following the enactment of the national law.
Mayor Carmelo Porras emerged as the first chief executive of the City, who was elected in
November 1955.
Davao City was also made independent after the division of Davao province into different
provinces such as Davao del Norte, Davao del Sur and Davao Oriental. It is now also known as a
highly urbanized City with over 1.6 million populace and ₱7.3 billion income as of 2016.
Today, Davao City has become a bustling metropolis. The City’s economy spurred along with
local and foreign investments that continue to buoy up. This is a testament that Davao City’s
immense growth will incessantly rise, moving upward beyond the towering edifice.
3
ETHNICITY AND LANGUAGE
The City brewed with diversity. There was a mixture of Lumads, Moros and ethnic groups from
other parts of the country. The migration of inhabitants from Luzon and Visayas and some parts
of Mindanao make the urban center the “Melting Pot of the Philippines.”
Amid the presence of diversity, majority of the populace prefer to speak Cebuano, Tagalog and
English as way to understand with each other. The local dialects of Lumads and Moros,
meanwhile, remain alive especially in their respective communities mostly at the Second and
Third Districts.
Among the tribes, Sama, Ata, Kagan, Maguindanao, K’lata, Obu-Manuvu, Iranon, Tausug,
Tagabawa, Matigsalog and Maranao are based in Davao City. The tribes sprawled across the
City, including the Bagobos who resided from upper Bangkal to Catalunan, Ula and Biao. Of the
indigenous peoples’ tribes, the Atas were the earliest natives who inhabited in Davao. Most of
the Bagobos, on the other hand, intermarried with the Spaniards, Americans and Japanese.

GEO-PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT
2.1 Geographical Location
Tucked in the southeastern part of Mindanao, Davao City sprawls in the grid squares of 6 58' to
7 34' N latitude, and 125 14' to 125 40' E longitude. It is located at the north of Davao Province,
on the east of Davao Gulf, on the south of Davao del Sur and on the west of North Cotabato.
Davao City is approximately 946 aerial kilometers or 588 statute miles, southeast of Manila.
(Figure 2.1).
The metropolis is the sole highly urbanized City in Davao Region. With its strategic location,
Davao City developed as a robust trade center in Mindanao and Southern Pacific and island’s
prime gateway to neighboring countries like Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, Palau, Papua New
Guinea and Australia (Figure 2.2).

2.2 Political Boundaries
Davao City has a land area of 244,000 hectares, which covers eight percent (8%) of the Region
XI’s total territory size. It is divided into three Congressional Districts and 11 administrative
districts. The First District has administrative districts such as Poblacion and Talomo while the
Second District is composed of Agdao, Buhangin, Bunawan and Paquibato. The Third District
has Toril, Tugbok, Calinan, Baguio and Marilog (Figure 2.3).

2.3 Topography
A substantial part of Davao City is characterized by extensive mountain ranges with uneven
distribution of plateaus and lowlands. The mountain range, which delimits the western
boundary of the City, extends up to South Cotabato. This mountain range tends the Mt. Apo,
the country’s highest peak, located at the boundaries of North Cotabato, Davao del Sur and
Davao City. Mt. Apo has an elevation of about 10.31 feet (3,144 meters) above sea level. It is
considered as a semi-active volcano (Figure 2.4).
The large, contiguous lowland areas of Davao City are coastal plains and valleys extending
inland as gently-rising valleys. These areas are found in the eastern part of the City, particularly
in Paquibato District, which is an extension of the vast lowlands at the head of Davao Gulf. The
other substantial lowland areas are located in the southeastern part of the City along the
western coast of the Gulf, and are situated in the districts of Bunawan, Buhangin, Agdao,
Poblacion, Talomo, and Toril. These lowland areas are level to nearly land with slopes ranging
from zero to three percent. These are generally composed of recent alluvium consisting of clay,
silt and some sand and gravel (Figure 2.5).
The entire land area of Davao City is drained towards Davao Gulf. Davao River with numerous
tributaries is the main drainage system of the City. Davao River originates from Bukidnon
Province, flows towards the south meandering along the central part and finally flows eastward
emptying into the Gulf at the southern periphery of the City Proper. The secondary drainage
system of the City is the Talomo River, which is the drainage outlet of the eastern slopes of Mt.
Apo. Other major drainage system includes the Lipadas River, Matina River, Lasang River and
Sibulan River (Figure 2.6).

2.4 Land Resources
Soils
The quality of the soil in Davao City differs in terms of color, texture, depth, drainage, relief,
permeability, and fertility, depending on the location. All of these factors are attributed to the
productivity of the soil, the ease in cultivation and adaptability to agriculture. On the basis of
the foregoing soil characteristics of Davao City as determined through the Land Resource
Information System (LARIS), classifications include seven series and one miscellaneous land
type. These different soil series have been categorized into three groups depending on the
topographic position they occupy in the landscape. These three soil groups are the following:
soils of the plains and valleys; soils in the intermediate uplands; and soil of hills and mountains.
These groupings are shown in (Table 2.1) where the main characteristics of the various soil
types are tabulated for easy reference.

Flora and Fauna
Davao City is home to different flora and fauna species. In the 235-hectare Malagos Protected
Landscape, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) observed that the
(Flora) Species Evenness was high while the (Flora) Species Diversity was low as of April 2016.
For fauna, on the other hand, diversity is measured by animal classes (Table 2.2).
Latest inventory made by the City Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO) bared
that there are a total of 1,310 fauna species and 370 flora species particularly in the public
parks.

Land Use Capability and Environmental Management Classification
The terrain analysis conducted by the Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) has classified the
various land use capability units as a result of the comprehensive assessment of the geophysical
environment of the watersheds by rating the various geologic factors such as slope, lithology,
geomorphology, soils and hazards (Figure 2.7).
Agricultural Land Use Capable Areas
Agricultural land-use capable areas are divided into three classes, namely, the agricultural non-
tillage areas, agricultural tillage areas, and agricultural areas for rice, corn and/or fishpond.
Agricultural – Non-Tillage/Agroforestry:
These are areas that, due to environmental constraints and significance to adjacent areas,
should not be tilled. Such areas should at best be developed as agro-forest areas. This type of
land use is recommended for areas delineated with a moderate to high susceptibility to mass
movement and erosion.
16
Agricultural – Tillage (all types of agricultural practice):
These areas have minimal environmental constraints and therefore could be devoted for
agricultural developments that require intensive soil preparation. However, development in
such areas requires strict soil conservation and management program and best industry
practices should be applied.
Agricultural – Rice/Corn/Fishpond:
Areas identified as agricultural area for rice, corn and fishponds are the fluvio-alluvial plains
that are occasionally flooded and/or water logged, thus, compatible for said land-use as they
are tolerant of excessive water.
Figure 2.7 Land Use Capability and Environmental Map of Davao City
17
2.5 Conservation Areas
Conservation areas are delineated to maintain environmental balance. The recharge areas for
groundwater and the sites that are highly prone to mass movements are considered as
conservation areas. One example is the Mt. Apo National Park, where Republic Act No. 9237 is
strictly implemented to protect the country’s highest peak.
Resource Conservation
Resource conservation areas are delineated to human developments due to the relative
importance of the resources therein. There lies the substantial deposits of limestone, which
could be used in the production of agricultural-lime, industrial-lime, cement and/or building
blocks for agricultural, industrial, and construction industries.
2.6 Freshwater Resources
Davao City is abundant with fresh potable water supply, both underground and surface water
sources. In the terrain analysis conducted by the MGB XI, there are different types of aquifer
depending on the depth. Perched aquifers occur at 1 to 3 meters deep while those that arise at
5 to 25 meters are shallow aquifers. Moderately deep aquifers occur at 25-100 meters while
very deep aquifers lie at the depths greater than 100 meters. The very deep aquifers are
recharged along deep river channels and cracks along large river systems in Baguio, Calinan,
Tugbok and Toril Districts (Figure 2.8).
There are 7 major watersheds that traverse Davao City. The southernmost is the Sibulan River
Watershed with its headwaters in Davao City, which drains towards the municipality of Sta.
Cruz. The Lipadas River Watershed cuts across the slopes of Mt. Apo, which drains towards
Lizada. The Talomo Watershed has its headwaters in Mt. Talomo, which traverses through
some parts of Calinan and Tugbok Districts and flows down to Barangay Talomo. The smallest
major watershed is the Matina Pangi River Watershed, which runs from Biao Escuela and drains
towards Matina Aplaya. The largest is the Davao City Watershed, which has headwaters in
Bukidnon, which covers parts of Marilog and Paquibato Districts and funnels down towards the
Central Business District or the Poblacion District. The Bunawan Watershed and Lipadas River
Watershed cover rivers that flow from Paquibato District, which enter Davao del Norte and
drain back to Bunawan District. The Tuganay River Watershed is almost totally part of Davao del
Norte, except in the middle portion, which enters Paquibato District.

2.7 Climate
Davao City enjoys a mild tropical climate. Compared to other parts of the Philippines where
there is a distinct hot and wet season, Davao enjoys a climate where it is mostly sunny. It boasts
as the prime destination, bounding outside the typhoon belt.
From 1990 to 2010, the average annual temperature varied from 34.24°C (highest) in April to
21.43°C (lowest) in January. The average annual rainfall in 1990 was recorded at 140
millimeters and reached 150 millimeters in 2010 as recorded in two rain stations in Bago Oshiro
and Davao International Airport (Table 2.3).
The predominant wind direction is northward from the Davao Gulf, where the cooler air of the
sea replaces the warm air mass over the City. A surrounding chain of mountains protect the
City effectively from strong winds.

2.8 Natural Hazards/ Constraints
The dominant geomorphological processes acting per terrain mapping unit were identified and
evaluated by the MGB. This is useful in determining the potential geohazards in the City.
Flooding
Fluvial landforms are areas that are naturally prone to flooding. Detailed analysis and study,
however, are needed to further subdivide the fluvial landform into various susceptibility and
vulnerability classes. The areas delineated with high susceptibility to flooding correspond to
approximately 30-50 year floods. Flooding occurring outside the delineated flood prone areas
could be mainly man-induced resulting to excessive overland flow or runoff (Figure 2.9).
20
Mass Movement
Four (4) factors such as soil class, slope, presence of landslide and landslide potential were
considered in the delineation of the landslide susceptibility classes (Figure 2.10). Areas, which
are naturally susceptible to mass movements, are the denudational landforms. However, based
on landslide mapping and inventory, mass movements were also noted in other areas that are
moderately deep to deeply incised valleys of volcanic landform, structural-denudational
landform, and karst landform.
Erosion
The rate of erosion is controlled by slope, climate, nature of bedrock, vegetation cover and
human intervention. The delineated erosion susceptibility classes for the study area considered
the natural factors particularly the slope, soil, and underlying lithology. The present land use
and cultivation/farming practices also result to induced erosion (Figure 2.11).
Earthquake-induced hazards (seismicity, liquefaction)
Liquefaction is a geohazard that results from seismicity/earthquake. It is the granular material

in solid state, which behaves and deforms like a liquid as a consequence of increased pore-
water pressure due to earthquake shaking. Generally, areas belonging to the fluvial landforms
are the most susceptible to liquefaction being overlain by alluvial deposits, where the 4 factors
of mass movement could be present (Figure 2.12).
Volcanism
Mountains Sibulan, Talomo and Apo are located within the City’s volcanic complex. Both Mt.
Sibulan and Mt. Talomo are classified as non-active cones while Mt. Apo is considered as
potentially active, according to the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology.

POPULATION AND SOCIAL PROFILE
3.1 Social Composition and Characteristics
The population of Davao City continues to expand, making the metropolis as the third most
populous highly urbanized city in the Philippines, with 1.670 million residents next to Manila
City and Quezon City as of 2016, data from Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) bared.
In a period from 2010 to 2016, the City grew at a rate of 2.30%. Its population density is seven
persons per hectare. The City’s seven barangays also ruled in the top 10 most populous villages
in the entire Davao Region as of 2015. Ranking as top is Barangay Bucana with 83,964
inhabitants, which covers 5.14% of the total population. It is followed by Buhangin Poblacion
(65,461), Ma-a (59,803), Talomo Poblacion (59,678), Sasa (52,386), Cabantian (43,758) and
Tibungco (41,864).
The rest of the barangays in the City had a share of less than 3% each. The smallest was
Barangay 13-B in the Poblacion District, which has a population size of only 0.02% out of the
total population. Noting the rapid growth, it is projected that the City’s population would reach
to 1.971 million or an additional of 338,508 inhabitants by 2023.

3.2 HEALTH
Medical Health Facilities and Personnel
Providing utmost care for the citizens’ health is among the priorities of the City Government.
The City ensures to provide the necessary services, including medical and financial assistance,
down to the grassroots level. At present, there are 17 hospitals, including one government-run
hospital in the City. Of the private facilities, there are 6 Level I, 6 Level II and 4 Level III hospitals.
The Southern Philippines Medical Center (SPMC), sole government-run hospital with
Department of Health (DOH) Level IV retained-hospital, has been the end-referral medical
facility for Mindanao. Most of the hospitals are located in the urban area. All these medical
26
facilities have a total bed capacity of 2,699. Almost half of the total bed capacity or 1,200 beds
are in SPMC. The City-wide bed to population ratio is 1.7:1,000, which implies that there are
sufficient hospital beds as the standard ratio is 1:1,000. However, since most of these hospitals
are privately-owned, a large number of patients still continue to prefer SPMC for financial
reasons.
The 16 private hospitals have a total of 438 doctors, 1,594 nurses, 60 midwives, and 220
medical technologists. The SPMC has 174 doctors, 844 nurses, 52 midwives, 6 dentists and 81
medical technologists.
The City has 2 birthing homes (Tibungco Lying-In and Malabog Lying-In) and 1 district hospital
(Paquibato District Hospital), which are all PhilHealth-accredited for maternity care package.
Other health facilities are Dispensary, Animal Bite Center, Medico-Legal, Chest Center-PPMD,
Reproductive Health and Wellness Center, Laboratory and the Dental Unit.
As of 2017, there are 191 barangay health stations (BHS) and 11 satellite health stations. The
BHS to population ratio posted at 1:9,486 in 2015, which was below the national standard of
1:5,000. Of the health facilities, 75 health stations and units are attached in barangay halls. Only
Panaga Health Center in Barangay Colossas is the sole health station with a birthing facility.
There are also 17 district main health centers/rural health units (RHUs). The City’s RHU to
population ratio, as of 2015, was 1:106,490, which was below the national standard of
1:20,000. All RHUs are PhilHealth-accredited for primary care benefit (PCB). Toril Poblacion
Health Center is the only RHU, which is PhilHealth-accredited for tuberculosis-directly observed
treatment short course.
Only 14 barangays, mostly in Poblacion District, have no BHS nor RHUs. However, this does not
mean that the people in those barangays are deprived of health services as they are served by
its adjacent barangays and main RHUs such as the Tomas Claudio Health Center and Jacinto
Health Center.
Meanwhile, there are 298 medical personnel (20 doctors, 81 nurses, 21 dentists, 103 midwives,
16 nutritionists, 37 sanitary inspectors and 20 medical technologists) deployed in the
RHUs/BHS, Paquibato District Hospital and birthing facilities in the City. Poblacion District
(18.12%) has the most number of medical personnel, followed by Talomo District (17.44%) and
Buhangin District (13.75%).
The City Government mobilized its health workers to ensure better quality health services for
Davaoeños. The number of health workers, however, remained below the ideal ratio. Shortages
were also observed following the standard ratio set by the DOH. To augment the number of
health workers, the City employed additional human resources and volunteer health workers.
Currently, there are 350 barangay nutrition scholars (BNS) and 1,064 barangay health workers
(BHWs) who deliver basic services to their respective communities.

Birth rate is a common measure of fertility for a given population. Crude birth rate (CBR)
indicates the number of live births occurring in the year, per 1,000 population. As of 2017, the
CBR was 21.90 births per 1,000 population or an average of 102 live births a day. In 2012 to
2017, the highest live birth was observed in 2013 at 27.97 births per 1,000 population while the
lowest was in 2012 at 21.62 births per 1,000 population.
Total fertility rate is interpreted as the number of births a woman would have, on average, at
the end of her reproductive years (NSO, 2008). Total fertility rate in Davao City experienced a
continuous decline from 2012 to 2015, with 2015 having the lowest rate at 2.03%. On an
average, total fertility rate posted at 2.46%. This is below the projected total fertility rate in
five-year interval (2010-2015) in the Philippines, which registered at 2.96%.
Morbidity rate in the City showed an increasing trend over the period 2011 to 2015, which is
medical in nature. A considerable increase of 9.59% was observed between 2011 and 2015
from 625,293 to 685,269. Consultation rate is low at an average of 5.83% in the past five years.
The year 2014 registered the highest consultation rate at 7.48%. These are the people who visit
the health facilities (private and public) for medical consultation regardless of their health
conditions. The low consultation rate indicates poor health-seeking behavior among

constituents as most prefer to consult medical professionals only when their conditions have
worsened. On the other hand, hospital rate have been constantly increasing from the period
2011-2014. A slight decrease of 3.23% was observed in 2015. These are clients who got sick and
were confined to the hospitals.
Crude death rate (CDR) was within the five-level in the years 2012 to 2016. This changed in
2017 when it hit 6.05 deaths per 1,000 population or an average of 28 deaths a day. Though
this slightly increased, the CBR is considered low as it is below 10 per 1,000 population. The
City’s CBR was also lower compared to the national average of 6.77 deaths per 1,000
population.
Proportional mortality rate (PMR) refers to the number of deaths within a population due to a
specific disease or cause divided by the total number of deaths in the population during a year.
As of 2015, proportional mortality rate stood at 5.70, which declined from 5.89 in 2014.
Neonatal mortality rate (NMR) in the City shoot up in 2013. It significantly decreased by 39.32%
between 2013 and 2016. The National Targets for NMR is 10 per 1,000 live births in 2016. The
City’s performance for the five-year period, however, is below the national target.
Infant mortality rate declined from 13.14 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2012 to 6 deaths per
1,000 live births in 2017, enabling the City to meet the Millennium Development Goal (MDG)
target of 18.7 deaths per 1,000 live births and the national target of 17 deaths per 1,000 live
births. The decline of infant mortality rate from 2012 to 2017 attributed to the improvement of
maternal and child care programs at the community level.
Under-five mortality rate also significantly decreased from 19.68 deaths per 1,000 live births in
2011 to 9.18 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2017. This made the City achieved Davao Region’s
MDG target of 26 deaths per 1,000 live births. The top causes of deaths among children were
pneumonia, congenital malformation, and dengue fever.
Complications during pregnancy and childbirth topped as the main cause of death among
women of reproductive age. Maternal mortality ratio (MMR) displayed fluctuating trend from
2012 to 2016. The highest MMR was observed in 2014 at 85 deaths per 100,000 live births. In
2016, this slipped to 49.9 deaths per 100,000 live births or 22 maternal deaths, which
decreased by 9.27 percent from the previous year. This made the City attained the MDG target
of 52 deaths per 100,000 live births. District C in Poblacion District, Bunawan District and
Calinan District posted the highest number number of maternal deaths with three cases each.
According to NEDA XI, the lack of access to pre-natal, delivery and post-partum services due to
poverty, cultural belief and low awareness on the part of pregnant women attribute to the high
MMR cases.

In 2016, acute respiratory infection (ARI) topped the leading causes of morbidity in all ages with
19,002 cases, followed by pneumonia with 16,287 cases and diarrhea and gastroenteritis with
8,191 cases. Comparing in the three-year period, it is observed that ARI cases decreased by
14.53% from 22,233 in 2014 to 19,002 in 2016. Cases of pneumonia dropped by 12.49% in
2016. The cases of diarrhea and gastroenteritis slightly increased by 3.01% from 7,952 in 2014
to 8,191 in 2016. As observed, dengue has been in the top four leading causes in 2014-2015 but
it dropped to the sixth spot in 2016. Dengue cases significantly decreased by 41.15% from 7,506
cases in 2014 to 4,417 cases in 2016. It is worth noting that these diseases are preventable,
hence, the same could be addressed if appropriate interventions are done starting at the
grassroots level. The prevalence of these illnesses may be attributed to the lack of health
providers, inadequate health service facilities including medical equipment and medicines, and
poor health-seeking behavior of the patients.

Nutritional Status of Children
The City Health Office (CHO), through its Nutrition Division, conducted Operation Timbang (OPT
Plus) from January to May 2015 in the 182 barangays of the City. The three most commonly
used anthropometric indices to assess the nutritional status of children who aged 0 to 71
months old are weight-for-length/height (stunted), length/height-for-age (wasted), and weight-
for-age (underweight).
Results of the OPT Plus showed that there were 8,115 children who were underweight, while
1,832 children were too heavy for their age. Children who were underweight and severely
underweight for their age mostly reside in Talomo, Agdao, Bunawan and Paquibato Districts.
According to Director Mario Capanzana of the Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI),
children were underweight because of “unavailability of food” and “incapacity to buy food”
among many families.
The World Health Organization (WHO) considers growth stunting as among of the most
significant impediments to human development. Stunting is described as low height for age or a
height more than 2 standard deviations below the WHO Child Growth Standards median. In
Davao City, there were 14,905 children who were stunted and 4,363 children who were
severely stunted. Talomo District recorded the most number of children with stunted growth at
19.47% followed by Toril, Bunawan and Poblacion, Districts respectively. Severely stunted
children were observed in Talomo, Marilog and Paquibato Districts. According to The Future of
Children, the contributing factors to stunting include poor maternal health and nutrition before,
during and after pregnancy, as well as inadequate infant feeding practices especially in the first
1,000 days of a child’s life (borgenproject.org).
Meanwhile, the number of children who were thin for their height in Davao City reached 2,736.
Wasting is a strong predictor of mortality among children under 5. It is the result of acute
significant food shortage and/or disease. Severe acute malnutrition (severely wasted), on the
other hand, is a life threatening condition, which requires urgent treatment. SAM cases are
predominant in Paquibato District. The local government has taken a lead to combat SAM by
institutionalizing the Community Integrated Management of Malnutrition (CIMAM) Program.
Doctors, nurses, midwives, nutrition workers, BNSes and BHWs were trained on this program
particularly on the management of SAM (severely acute malnourished) children. The use of
ready-to-use food (RUTF) is among of the initiatives since 2013.
Children in Davao City are also getting obese. As of 2016, there were 1,122 obese children.
Talomo District has the most number of obese children at 33.24% in relation to their height,
followed by Buhangin and Poblacion Districts. The FNRI cites that children, nowadays, prefer to
play in their gadgets or watch television instead of engaging in physical activities.

In 2016, 8.17% of the 45,069 women of reproductive age or 3,865 teenagers have been
pregnant. There are also 209 minors below 15 years old who have been impregnated. These
numbers slightly decreased over the period of 5 years by 7.32%. Early childbearing is common
in Talomo and Buhangin Districts. According to the study conducted by Young Adult Fertility
and Sexuality Study (YAFS), the reasons of teenage pregnancy include unplanned sexual
encounters (“getting caught up in the moment”) and peer pressure, insufficient information on
safe sex, breakdown of family life and lack of good female role models in the family and
absence of accessible, adolescent-friendly clinics.

Contraceptive prevalence rate (CPR) generally declined over the four-year period but increased
in 2016. CPR rose in 2013 by 2.65% from 60.4% in 2012 but dropped by 2.10% and 29% in 2014
and 2015, respectively. It increased anew by 17.63% in 2016 against the previous year. This
shows that the City’s performance is below the National Objectives for Health (NOH) set by the
DOH where at least 65% of the women of reproductive age practice any modern family
planning (FP) methods. The decline could be attributed to the data quality check (DQC) done in
all health districts where the patient’s record or target client list (TCL) were reviewed and
updated.

flood victims that totalled 73,930, particularly in Buhangin, Marilog and Paquibato. However, in
2016 alone, a total of 58,880 individuals were affected by the long dry spell in Talomo,
Paquibato, Calinan, Toril and Tugbok that prompted the City Government to place the areas
under state of calamity per SP Resolution No. 02882-16 and Ordinance No. 0531-16.

Indigenous People, Moro People and Badjao People
The City’s main Indigenous Peoples/Indigenous Cultural Communities are the Bagobo and Ata
tribes. The Bagobo is composed of 3 sub-groups in terms of dialect spoken and geographical
locations. These are Bagobo-K’lata, who occupied the northern foot of Mt. Apo (Tugbok and
Calinan Districts); Bagobo-Obu or Obu-Manuvu, the predominant settlers in the mountain
ranges located at the west of Mt. Apo (particularly the areas of Baguio and Marilog Districts)
and Bagobo-Tagabawa, whose ancestral territory is situated in the south eastern portion of Mt.
Apo (particularly in Toril District). The Ata tribe, which includes Matigsalog, is in Paquibato and
Marilog Districts. The Moro people in Davao City consist of 6 tribes - the Maguindanao, Kagan,
Sama, Tausug, Maranao and Iranun.

The IPs and Moros have limited access to basic services due to their geographical location. A
large number of them also lack of information and inability to pay charges especially for birth
and civil registrations.
To make them undergo birth and civil registrations, caravans and mobile registrations are
conducted. These activities are highly participated by the IPs and Moros. There is also “Rehistro
Nyo, Sagot ng Gobyerno Program,” a project since 2009, which facilitates the late registration
of birth of indigents aged two years old and above especially the IPs who cannot afford to pay
the negative certificate of birth result of the PSA. Another ethnic minority present in Davao City
are the Badjaos. The Badjaos, which also mean as fisher folk, are generally sea gypsies and
50
perceived to be the most marginalized and poorest of all ethnic minorities. They reside in the
coastal villages of Barangays 23, 76, and Matina Aplaya. Their dwellings are commonly shanties
on stilts with estimated population of 1,913. They are believed to belong to the Sama tribe.
Disadvantaged Women
In 2011 to 2016, the number of disadvantaged women who availed the services bared a
downward trend from 12,721 to 10,770. Most clients served were marginalized women, those
living in poverty and have little or no access to land and other resources, basic social and
economic services such as health care, education, water and sanitation, employment and
livelihood opportunities, housing, social security, physical infrastructure, and the justice system
(Sec 4[d] Republic Act No. 9710).
On the number of cases of violence against women, the figures displayed an increasing trend.
From 2012 to 2016, the number of victims of violence against women (a violation of Republic
Act No. 9262) increased by an annual average of 16% from 795 cases in 2012 to 1,387 cases in
2016. The increase in reported VAW cases may be attributed to more women mustering the
courage to report, due to the passage of laws that address sexual and gender-based violence.
Although there is a compelling support for the victims of violence against women, there is a
need to strengthen the Barangay VAW Desks and reinforce legal and economic assistance to
VAW victims. At least 3% of those served in 2012 to 2016 are women in especially-difficult
circumstances (WEDC) or those who are victims and survivors of sexual and physical abuse,
illegal recruitment, prostitution, trafficking, armed conflict, women in detention, victims and
survivors of rape and incest (Sec. 33 of Republic Act No. 9710).

Women detained in Gawad Kalinga Ray of Hope, which has 10 duplex cottages or 20 cells,
increased by an annual average of 35% from 145 in 2012 to 398 in 2016. Each cell in the Ray of
Hope shelters 17 to 20 inmates. The standard number of inmates per cell is 7.

Disadvantaged Children
As of 2016, there are 607,495 children, which comprise largely males at 51%. Of the total
number, an average of 12,746 children, mostly males, were provided with services in 2012 to
2016. A total of 46% or 5,417 served were children needing special protection (CNSP). There
were also those who sought educational assistance programs, participation in children’s
congress, and permits to travel. The topmost recorded CNSP cases were children in conflict
with law (CICL), street children and those who were neglected, physically and sexually abused.
The local government observed the rise of CICLs, which may be attributed on the
implementation of Republic Act 9344 or an Act Establishing the Comprehensive Juvenile Justice
System that exempts children from criminal liability amid their various offenses. Majority or
85% of the CICLs were males (Fig. 3.2).
The CICLs are required to undergo programs that will allow them to become accountable and
responsible for their actions. Republic Act 10630, amending Republic Act 9344 “An Act
Strengthening the Juvenile Justice System in the Philippines,” cites that a CICL shall be
mandatorily placed at the Intensive Juvenile Intervention and Support Center (IJISC) of the
Bahay Pag-asa. The Department of Social Welfare and Development, which sets standards,
register, license, and accredit residential care services, recommends further enhancement of
the Bahay Pag-asa facilities. The Bahay Pag-asa, which only catered male CICLs, housed 73 CICLs
as of 2016. There was 1 center head, 3 registered social workers, and 14 house parents, with a
staff-client ratio that was below the standards of 1:15 social workers and 1:20 house parents.

Majority or 53% of the total were males who availed the services. Young individuals are actively
involved in public and civic affairs, promotion and protection of their physical, moral, spiritual,
intellectual, and social and economic well-being (Fig. 3.3).
Bulk of the clientele served were in-school youth. The local government extends educational
assistance and scholarship for the underprivileged students with high intellectual capacities.
This enable them to have access to college education through the Scholarship on Tertiary
Program (STEP) under the Educational Benefits Unit of the City Mayor’s Office. The program has
an annual average of 820 qualified scholars for the first semester and 680 for the second
semester in the years 2012 to 2016. The scholars’ performance in the first half of the school
year serves as the basis for the continuity of their scholarship.

Persons with Disabilities
The Household Assessment Results of the Listahanan of 2015, which was conducted by the
Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), registered 2,658 persons with
disabilities (PWDs) who were assessed as poor. These were the marginalized PWDs who lacked
means of livelihood and access to rehabilitative services and opportunities to fully participate in
socioeconomic activities.
53
The DSWD promotes the functionality of the Persons with Disability Affairs Office (PDAO) to
ensure the implementation of programs and services for the sector. The local government shall
allocate funds for PDAO through the annual plans and budget, pursuant to Republic Act No.
10070 or An Act Establishing Institutional Mechanism to Ensure the Implementation of
Programs and Services for Persons with Disabilities in Every Province, City and Municipality that
amends Magna Carta for Disabled Persons.

Early Childhood Care and Development
Early childhood education (ECE) is the first crucial stage of educational development of a child.
Pursuant to Republic Act No. 10410 or the Early Years Act (EYA) of 2013, those who aged from 0
to 4 years old shall be the responsibility of the Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCD)
Council. The council shall provide developmentally appropriate experiences to address their
needs. It shall be anchored on complementary strategies for ECCD that include service delivery
for children, educating parents and caregivers, encouraging the active involvement of parents
and communities in ECCD programs and raising awareness on the important efforts that
improve the quality of life for young children and families.
Children who aged 3 to 4 years old are served by the City Social Services and Development
Office (CSSDO). As of School Year (SY) 2015 to 2016, Davao City’s ECCD enrolment reached to
52,173. The increasing enrolment in early childhood education program can be attributed to
the policy of Department of Education (DepEd) that no children be admitted to Grade 1 unless
55
he/she has attended the pre-school education. In terms of gender parity, the distribution of
boys and girls were equal in ECCD enrolment.

ECCD Service Centers
Most of the ECCD service center structures are made of concrete materials. Inventory and
assessment of structures showed that 59 of the service centers are dilapidated. Most of the
centers have common comfort rooms. There were 24 day-care centers without comfort rooms
and 83 day-care centers with comfort room but in poor condition. Only few centers have hand-
washing facility and ramp. Playground equipment, which is essential to a child’s physical
development, is unavailable in 196 day care centers. There were no day-care centers in 13
barangays, mostly in Poblacion District. Despite the absence of the centers, these barangays
were served by private ECCD providers in close proximity in the area.
Developmentally appropriate programs are carried out by 695 day-care and home-based
centers. The home-based centers are supervised by neighborhood play workers in 2 shifts.
The CSSDO also initiates Parent-Teaching-Other-Parents (PTOP), a strategy that mobilizes

parents or couples in the community to educate other parents on the importance of early
education, where volunteers were trained on principles of child development, brain
development and various strategies in teaching parents to teach their children.

Basic Education
With the enactment of Enhanced Basic Education Act in 2013, all children are now required to
enroll from Kindergarten to Senior High School. This means that there will be an additional of 3
school years to the country’s basic education under the K to 12 Program. The program aims to
provide adequate time for mastery of concepts and skills, develop lifelong learners, and
prepare graduates for tertiary education, middle-level skills development, employment and
entrepreneurship (officialgazette.gov.ph).

As of SY 2016-2017, the number of enrollees in all levels, comprising pre-school, elementary

and secondary, reached 365,336. There were 27,304 enrollees in pre-school, 229,994 in
elementary and 108,038 in secondary. Public school enrollees accounted for 85.45% (312,168)
of the total number of enrollees. A large number of male enrollees were recorded in both pre-
school and elementary. This changed in secondary level where there were more girls (51.34%)
than boys. The trend can be observed in both private and public schools.
There were an average of 35 pupils per teacher in public elementary schools and 30 pupils per
teacher in private elementary schools. Public secondary schools have an average of 28 students
per teacher while private secondary schools have an average of 30 students per teacher, which
achieved the standard ratio for student-teacher at 1:45.
Table 3.28 bared the student-classroom ratio of both public and private schools was within the
standard ratio at 1:45, except in public secondary schools where there were 47 students for
every classroom. Additional classrooms are needed especially in public secondary schools. The
student-desk/armchair ratio in most schools is within the standard ratio at 1:1, except in public
elementary schools that posted 1:2 ratio, which implies the need for additional desks and
armchairs.

With few students, teachers are able to provide each learner with more individual attention. As
observed in Table 3.30, the net teacher-pupil ratio at the elementary and secondary level shows
an erratic trend over the past 3 school years, with SY 2015-2016 having the lowest ratio.
Both gross teacher-student ratio and net teacher-student ratio at the elementary and
secondary level were able to reach the standard teacher-student ratio of 1:45. As the figures
were below the standard ratio, this means that a teacher can give prime focus to each learner.

Participation rate at the elementary level, meanwhile, displayed a fluctuating trend from SY
2014-2015 to SY 2016-2017, with SY 2015-2016 posted the highest participation rate at 86.73%.
The indicator used in this analysis is the net participation rate, which is the percentage of
school-age children in the group who were at school at a certain level of education in
accordance with the age of the total number of children in the school age group. Majority or
86.66% of the population who aged 6 to 12 years were in public elementary school in SY 2016-
2017.
At the secondary level, the participation rate, however, continued to decrease, with SY 2016-
2017 that registered the lowest participation rate at 56.24%. Child labor and early marriage
were identified as the main cause of children being out of school in secondary level.

On a regional scale, the participation rate in elementary and secondary schools throughout
Davao Region exhibited 96.65% and 63.83%, respectively. The figures were higher compared to
Davao City’s participation rate that stood 86.73% in elementary and 54.69% in secondary level.
The City’s performance was also below the MDG goal to achieve 100% net enrolment ratio in
primary education in 2015. This indicated that the City has to catch up by pursuing projects and
programs aligned in achieving high participation rate.
In terms on subsistence, a large number of students were observed to endure schooling in

elementary in Davao City with a survival rate of 92.62%, which was higher than Davao Region’s
performance at 91.12%. On the contrary, the cohort survival rate at the secondary level in
Davao City was below Davao Region’s performance by 2.01 percentage points.
The completion rate in both elementary and secondary schools in Davao City also displayed a
better performance with 90.61% and 76.23%, respectively, compared to the entire schools that
offer basic education in Davao Region with completion rate of 88.84% in elementary and
73.44% in secondary level.
Davao City’s drop-out rate marked a little higher than those of Davao Region. The drop-out rate
in elementary and secondary schools in Davao City hinged at 1.43% and 4.94%, respectively,
which exceeded Davao Region’s drop-out rate at 1.03% in elementary and 3.11% in secondary.
Davao City and the entire Davao Region have to curb drop-outs, which usually attributed to
illness, child labor, family-related factors, lack of interest and malnutrition, to achieve the EFA
target of zero percent drop-out rate.

Alternative Learning Systems
The Alternative Learning System (ALS) is a free education program implemented by the
Department of Education under the Bureau of Alternative Learning System (BALS) that serves
those who cannot afford formal schooling. The program provides a viable alternative to the
existing formal education instruction, encompassing both non-formal and informal sources of
knowledge and skills.
Under ALS, the 3 main programs are basic literacy program (BLP), accreditation and equivalency
(AE) elementary level program and AE secondary level program. These programs are serving
out-of-school youth and adults especially in the deprived, depressed and underserved
communities.
In SY 2016-2017, the program registered 8,913 enrollees. Most or 78.12% of the total learners
were enrolled for AE secondary level program while 14.64% opted the AE elementary level
program. Only 7.24% of the total were enrolled for BLP. Majority of the enrollees were males at
50.47%.
A total of 1,740 learners were able to register for examination, mostly for AE National Test. Of
the total, 65.40% of the examinees passed the examination, which was handled by 51
facilitators for BLP and 180 instructional managers for AE Elementary and Secondary levels.

Another component of ALS is the informal education (InfED), an education activity that
addresses the special needs and interest of the marginalized and other interest groups of
learners. This makes use of the life skills approach for personal development with three to six
month-long courses.
The InfED, which has 76 facilitators that handle the 29 courses, attracted 3,109 enrollees who
are mostly females at 74%.
79
Of the courses offered, computer literacy and cooking has the most number of enrollees (23%)
followed by beads work and handicraft (10%) and basic cosmetology (nine percent).
Over half of the enrollees avail the three month-courses. Most of the enrollees in the three-
month courses are females. This differ from the six-month courses with males who
outnumbered the females in programs such as advance electronics, automotive mechanics,
basic electronics, computer technician, computer technology, electrical installation and
maintenance, plumbing and ref and air-conditioning (Table 3.41, see next page).

Figure 3.6 bared that the percentage of passers for BLP and AE elementary and secondary levels
exhibited an upward trend. As of 2015, 73.45% of the examinees passed the AE National Test
for Elementary, comparing in 2013 when there were only 46.65% who passed the exam. The
percentage of passers for AE National Test for Secondary stood 77.35% in 2015, which was
higher from 37.23% in 2013. The percentage of passers for BLP also improved from 18.42% in
2013, where there were only seven out of 38 examinees who passed the exam, to 72.73% in
2015. The figures indicated that there was an average of 42.37% BLP passers and 53.44% AE
elementary and secondary passers in the three-year period.
The passers of the AE National Test will be issued with certificates that would qualify them to
enroll in the next education level.
Indigenous People (IP) Enrolment
The national government, through the education department, boosts the implementation of
the Indigenous Peoples Education Program (IPEd). This is in line with the National Indigenous
Peoples’ Education Policy Framework under DepEd Order No. 62, Series of 2011 entitled
Adopting the National Indigenous Peoples Education Policy Framework and Republic Act No.
10533-Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013.
To ensure that IP needs for culture-based education are met, the DepEd-Davao City Division
Office strengthens skills trainings for teachers on how to integrate the IP culture, values and
belief in various subject areas. Trainings are also conducted to develop appropriate learning
materials.

The City Housing and Homesite Division (CHHD) assists 13 community associations of informal
settlers for their application on the Community Mortgage Program (CMP) of the Social Housing
Finance Corporation (SHFC). Most of these community associations occupy along riverbanks of
Davao River in Brgy. 76-A. There are also settlers in road-right-of-way (RROW), drainage and
private properties.

To address the housing needs of the informal settlers, the City Government established 11
relocation sites with 7,959 housing units as of 2017. The CHHD reported that each unit is
awarded to one household or 1:1. The number of registered families increased to 12,393 as
there were sharers or renters in the housing units. With regards on the amenities and utilities,
almost all have access to water and electricity except in Aglipayan and East Marahan Marilog
relocation sites. The CENRO also collects garbage in the relocation sites.

The CHHD reported that there are 188 households who originally reside near the riverbanks
and drainage systems, including those who were affected by the Talomo and Matina floods,
and 40 from properties affected by road-right-of-way as of 2017 in the relocation site at Los
Amigos alone. According to the CHHD, only the Los Amigos site, which was set up in 2009, is
available for the relocatees from danger zone areas. The other relocation sites were already
filled up as early as 1998.
As way to address the housing gap, the City Government is developing another relocation site
especially for households living in danger areas. At present, there are 149 families living in
danger zones who have yet to be transferred in a relocation site, according to the CHHD. The
City Government’s new relocation site is in Lasang with a project dubbed Kalayaan Homes that
can cater to about 1,400 families. The units in Lasang site will be built by Camella and SM
Development Corp. as part of the real estate developers’ compliance on the policy that require
them to establish socialized housing units.

The City Government also implements the Urban Land Reform Program, which provides loan
assistance to acquire lands for qualified homeowner associations. As of 2018, there are 62
homeowner associations that are provided with assistance. They also pursue site development
and house construction. Most of the associations also ensure that the utilities such as water
and electricity are in place in their respective sites. Garbage disposal is manned by CENRO.
Solid Waste Management
Garbage collection exhibited an upward trend in the previous years, peaking up in 2016 when
the waste collectors of CENRO gathered 638,920 kilos a day or 638.92 metric tons daily. This
changed in 2017 when the total solid waste collected dipped to 575,130 kilos a day or 575.13
metric tons daily. The decline attributed on the strict implementation of the solid waste
management policy, which penalizes those who fail to do waste segregation.

Of the public-owned facilities, majority are basketball courts that are accessible to residents as
most are located in barangays. These are also used for recreational sports, tournaments, and
assemblies. Covered courts, on the other hand, are utilized as evacuation centers. There are
also 39 gymnasiums, which are mostly in schools and barangays for sports competition,
recreational events and assemblies. On the other hand, private sports facilities largely consist of
swimming pools that are frequently used for recreational purposes. There are 41 swimming
pools mostly in resorts and hotels in the City.
Davao City Sports Complex
The establishment of the Davao City Sports Complex (DCSC) is now underway with an initial
budget of ₱450 million after the University of the Philippines (UP) signed a memorandum of
understanding with the City Government of Davao in 2015.
The project includes multi-purpose human kinetics center, artificial turf, track-and-field,
football stadium, aquatics center, and access road. The football stadium, for instance, is
expected to have 2,000 seats while the aquatics facility will have 10-lane Olympic-sized
swimming pool.
The DCSC also includes a 35,000-seater stadium, dormitory and medical building, low-rise
commercial block, power and pumping station, tennis court, sports arena, archery and practice
shooting range, indoor basketball court, adventure sports facilities, waste management and
water treatment facility, country club, and parking area.
The design for the project follows international standards, which will allow the City to host local
and international competitions and provide a safe training venue for local athletes. This will be
the first standardized sports facility in the City.
The UP Mindanao also offers Diploma in Exercise and Sports Science (DESS), which “addresses
the need for public and private school teachers in MAPEH and the K-12 Sports Track, as well as
practitioners who do not have undergraduate degrees related to Physical Education and Sports
Science.”

 Sports Science and Medicine
 School-based Sports Development
105

The government-manned parks cover total land area of 160,807.74 square meters. Most of
these are located in Poblacion District. Other public parks are located in Toril, Buhangin,
Calinan, Talomo, and Agdao. The parks with large land areas, like People’s Park and Magsaysay
Park, have amenities for active recreation such as for jogging and other activities. Some parks,
meanwhile, are built for passive recreation, mainly for sight-seeing and relaxation. Of the total
number of public parks, only Doña Carmen Marfori Soriano Park (formerly known as Fly-over
Park) and (DMC) Roadside Park were in poor physical condition, which needed to undergo
rehabilitation.

subdivisions, for parks and playgrounds. The figures can still cover the standard requirement of
500 square meter of park area per person amid the projected growth of 1.871 million
population by 2021. Meanwhile, there are no public parks yet in Bunawan, Paquibato, Baguio,
Marilog, and Tugbok nor tree parks in each barangay in the City.

Police Capabilities and Manpower
The City Government continues to boost programs and projects to secure the entire populace.
One of vital forces to help the City realize its plans and programs are the cops who monitor the
metropolis round-the-clock.
Presently, there are 12 police stations (PS) and eight sub-stations under the Davao City Police
Office (DCPO). It has also Public Safety Command Unit, Mobile Patrol Group and Traffic Group.
Of the total number of PS, 11 have internet connection for easy access of information and
efficient communication while PS Marilog has radio and mobile phone. All the stations have
women and children protection desks (WCPD) pursuant to Sec. 57 of Republic Act No. 8551.
There is also Rape Crisis Center in Southern Philippines Medical Center (SPMC) pursuant to
Republic Act No. 8505.
Table 3.63 bared that only 2 out of 22 facilities are in the properties owned by the Philippine
National Police while one is located in the private property. Majority or 19 of the total are in
the properties owned by the City Government. In terms of equipment, all PS have computers
and mobile phone use for communication. All the equipment of all police facilities are
serviceable or in good condition.

The City Government commits in extending support to the police force who maintains peace
and order throughout the City. In 2016, the local government provided 115 units of patrol
vehicles and 120 motorcycles to DCPO for better mobility of the City’s police force in addition
to the existing number of police vehicles. A total of 300,080 liters of diesel and 33,440 liters of
gasoline were given to DCPO, including maintenance servicing for the patrol vehicles every 45
days. The cops were also well-nourished with the provision of 2,057 sacks of rice and 90,750
cans of sardines as incentives in their performance.

Total 1,690,607 1,140 4,538 3,501
As of December 2016, DCPO’s total police force reached 1,140. The figures, however, are below
the ideal ratio of 1 police in every 500 person for a highly urbanized City. With a growing
population, the City will need 4,538 police enforcers to meet the ideal number or an additional
of 3,501 law enforcers.
Of the stations, the PS 1 Sta. Ana has the most number of barangays covered in their area of
responsibility (AOR) with 32 barangays compared to only 14 barangays in PS 3 Talomo.
However, Talomo requires the most number of police relative to having the most number of
population in their AOR. In contrast, PS 11 Baguio has the least additional police requirement
with only six personnel. The projected police requirement is based on the 2016 population
provided by PSA. Population in every barangay covered by PSs AORs utilized participation rate
method using ratio/percent of barangay population to the City’s total population, which
considers other factors constant such as residential development or migration.
114
To augment the number of law enforcers, establishments and other institutions seek the
services of security and detective agencies. They offer the first line of security in malls, offices,
banks and other installations to deter crime and protect their clients and assets. As of 2015, 75
security and detective agencies are operating in the City. A total of 22,142 security personnel
have been deployed since the start of their operation. The number serves as an auxiliary force
to maintain the City’s peace and order.
According to DCPO, all security and detective agencies must seek proper documentation and
register their business in their office to legally operate. Their membership in Philippine
Association of Detective and Protective Agency Operators (PADPAO) will not give them
authority to operate.
In addition, barangay units also employ the services of barangay tanods to maintain peace and
order. Most of the barangays ask the City Government’s assistance to pay for the tanod’s
monthly salary. According to Barangay and Cultural Communities Affairs Division (BCCAD), the
City Government employed a total of 3,405 barangay tanods. The DCPO-Police Community
Relations Branch (PCRB) also provided a number of community volunteers/staff by type of
service base on the AORs of PS that have underwent trainings and seminars.

DCPO institutionalized the Barangay Peacekeeping Operation (BPO) in all 182 barangays of the
City. The BPO members enforce the law, united front, disaster relief and environmental
protection as part of their mandate. The BPO conducted activities to support to internal
security operation (ISO) was also organized and trained to form as force multiplier. They are
116
composed of barangay tanods, civilian volunteer organizations (CVOs) and volunteers to
monitor and sustain peace and order at the barangay level.
Crime Statistics
Table 3.67 bared the total crime statistics in 2012-2017. As a general rule, crime incidents
reported through police blotters are the ones included in the total crime volume. The figures
showed an erratic trend due to the changes made with the parameters provided by the PNP
National Headquarters, such as the inclusion of reports from other law enforcement agencies
and under reporting of some PS in between years. This is evident in the huge differences of the
figures in between calendar years. One example was the total crime volume in 2013 that
reached 10,880. However, according to DCPO-Investigation and Detection Management Bureau
(IDMB), an evaluation was conducted by the personnel of the national headquarters and
corrected the reported crime volume, which then totalled to 27,882. Barangay blotters and
several police blotters that were not included in the preliminary report were added, thereby
sharply increased the total number of crime volume by 156.27%. Conversely, the succeeding
years excluded barangay blotters in total crime volume of the City. To help curb crime
incidence, police visibility was heightened, community involvement and participation in peace
and order were strengthened and several initiatives to deter crime incidents were implemented
that resulted to the decline in crime volume.

Source: PNP-Davao City Police Office (PNP-DCPO)
The 2017 figures dipped by 26% against the total number of crimes reported in 2016. This was
supported by the decrease in crime report of both index and non-index crimes, with a decline
of 32% and 24%, respectively from 2016 figures. The overall decrease translated to a decline
in average monthly crime rate (AMCR), from 52.74 in every 100,000 persons a month to 39,
which implied a reduction of crime incidence. The total projected population used was
117
1,622,565 for 2016 and 1,708,972 in 2017. AMCR is computed by associating the total crime
volume in every 100,000 person of the total population in the 12-month span.

In 2012, crime volume was minimal due to under reporting of PS to show that there was less
crime in their AORs. This was revised in 2013 with thorough evaluation and inclusion of
barangay blotters that resulted to the spike of crime volume that reached 27,882. However, in
2014 to 2016, barangay blotters were excluded anew and the PSs adhered to reporting all
police blotters. The measure of accomplishment gauged on the number of cases solved and
cleared was also strengthened.
Of the 4 types of violation for crime against person, physical injury had the highest figure
ranging from 56% to 91% in 2012-2016. This was followed by murder, rape and homicide. It was
alarming to note that rape and murder increased in recent years relative to the initial year,
2012, while homicide decreased. In terms of crime against property, theft was the most
common violation ranging 66% to 76% of the total figures. This was followed by robbery,
carnapping and cattle rustling. Although, there were more cases on crime against property
118
than crime against person, the number of cases of the former significantly decreased over the
years. The most notable was robbery with a decrease of 59.86%, closely followed by theft and
cattle rustling coming on third. This attributed to the increased police visibility, availability of
emergency hotline and security assets and active collaboration between DCPO and the
community. Comparing both index and non-index crime, the latter always registered with the
most number of cases where index crime constituted to about 63.63% of the total crime.
Nevertheless, it can be observed during the conduct of correction of crime statistics in 2013,
the non-index crime increased compared to index crime. This may be due to the huge number
of non-index crime if reported will sharply increase the number of crime reports in PSs.
On the number of crimes solved and cleared in the past 5 years, non-index crime recorded the
most number, with 60.24% solved and 63.29% cleared compared to only 28.62% and 32.76%,
respectively for index crimes. Crime clearance and solution efficiency also improved overtime.
Starting from the base year, index crime clearance was 21.63% and solution was 17.89%. The
figure substantially improved to 54.96% and 47.48%, respectively in 2016. A more encouraging
figure for non-index crime can also be observed, from only 71.42% in 2012 for crimes cleared to
89.91% in 2016. While 89.13% crime solution efficiency is noted in 2016 from only 69.04% in
2012, the total crime clearance efficiency (CCE) and crime solution efficiency (CSE) generally
improved, from only 46.64% and 43.6% in 2012 to 83% and 80%, respectively in 2016. This
implies that the DCPO’s efforts to improve their performance, coupled with continued support
of the local government to their capability, mobility and logistics, have proven to be effective in
solving and deterring crimes throughout the City.

In 2015, the number of crimes against person and crimes against property declined to 1,380
cases and 2,652 cases, respectively. The AOR of PS 3 (Talomo) still recorded the highest
incidents of crimes against person with 271 cases, including murder, physical injury and rape.
The PS 1 (Sta Ana), meanwhile, recorded the highest incidents of crimes against property with
651 cases. Overall, PS 3 (Talomo) registered the most number of index crime, which covers
23.53% of all the recorded cases. This may be due to the fact that population is positively
correlated with crime incidence as it has the largest AOR in terms of population spanning in 14
barangays.

Fire Protection
The Davao City Fire District (DCFD) is a major component of the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP),
comprising of 11 sub-stations in the entire metropolis. There are also one City Fire Brigade
managed by the City Government, Central 911 Fire Auxiliary Team and 48 fire
auxiliary/volunteer organizations composed of community/barangay fire volunteers, first
responders from private institutions and fire volunteers that have fire suppression, rescue and
other related emergency response capabilities. In 2015, the DCFD registered a total of 257 fire
fighters and 26 available fire trucks. There are also 1,565 auxiliary volunteers and from private
organizations. In addition, the City government has fire supplementary service through Central
911 with 95 fire auxiliary personnel, four fire trucks and three other fire assets (water pumper,
water tanker truck, bucket truck) and troop carrier. According to BFP, cases of fire emergency
are under their jurisdiction. To strictly adhere with the standard, one can only factor the
number of fire fighters in BFP to check the ratio. The number of fire auxiliary
groups/organizations cannot be considered since they are only part of the back-up or support
group depending on the level/severity of fire emergency. The standard ratio for fire fighter to
population is equivalent to 1:2,000 while standard fire truck to fire fighter ratio is 1:14 or
equivalent to one fire truck for every 28,000 persons.

The Central Fire Station has 108 fire fighters, which is more than the standard ratio. The
Buhangin Fire Station has the lowest, where there were only 1 fire fighter available for every
16,795 persons. To meet the standards, Buhangin approximately needs 89 more fire fighters. It
122
is followed by Talomo and Calinan, with a requirement of 177 and 77 fire fighters, respectively.
The same problem is observed in terms of fire truck. Overall, DCFD needs additional 40 fire
trucks to cater the additional 557 fire fighters for the actual 2015 population to achieve the
standard ratio. Based on the Comprehensive Three-Year Development Plan of the BFP, most of
the fire incidents were recorded in Talomo District with 4 barangays and 1 barangay in
Buhangin District.

Of the 26 fire trucks, the BFP assessed that 2 of the vehicles needed repair. The DCFD also
updated the list of functional fire hydrants in the City in 2015. The S.I.R Fire Station has the
most number of fire hydrants with 71 in total, which are all in good condition. Overall, the BFP
has access to 225 fire hydrants, 71 of which have low water pressure, while the remaining 154
have sufficient water pressure. Meanwhile, on land ownership where the fire stations are
located, 6 are owned by the City Government, 1 by GSIS, 1 by private, 1 by the barangay and
another by BFP.

R.A. 9514 otherwise known as “Fire Code of the Philippines” requires fire stations in piers and
water surrounded structure occupied as places of amusement, passenger terminal or used for
any purpose other than mooring of vessels and handling of cargo. Fire station at the wharf will
serve the port area to provide fire protection for ships and dockside structures. The City has
currently no fire station in piers as BFP’s recommendation to construct a fire response station in
Sta. Ana dockside remained pending for approval.
124
With the increasing housing projects in Davao City, population in the suburbs continue to grow.
The position and the distance of the locations where the firefighters have to respond to any
emergency cannot meet its six-minute or less of response time with the current 10-station
configuration (Figure 3.8). To achieve safer communities, the DCFD has to create new fire
stations centered on the response time and existence of residential subdivisions. Noting on the
need of facilities, new fire stations are proposed to be constructed in Tugbok District, Ma-a,
Cabantian, Talomo District and Ulas.

Fire Incidence Statistics
Both Talomo Fire Station and Panacan Fire Station recorded most fire incidents with 128 cases
each followed by Central Fire Station with 113 cases. In contrast, only 35 cases were recorded
in Bunawan Fire Station.
In terms of fire incidence according to cause, a large number was due to the problems in
electrical connection at 34.22%, which mostly recorded in the Central and Talomo Fire Stations.
The other main causes of fire incidents include electrical appliances that account 18.50% of the
total followed by lighted cigarette butt, open flame due to unattended cooking stove and
spontaneous combustion with 94, 66 and 58 cases, respectively.

Threat Groups
In 2016, the PNP reported that 9 barangays were categorized as influenced (Category II) by
armed groups with ideological leaning (e.g., CPP-NDF-NPA). Based on categories made by the
Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), those under Category I are barangays that are less
influenced, which are areas with sightings/visit by some members of the threat group; the
Category II areas are influenced barangays with established mass base or supporters while
Category III refers to those barangays with frequent sightings of threat groups roving or passing
through the barangay.

Through the efforts of AFP and other law enforcement units, several barangays were already
categorized as cleared of the threat. Activities related in Peace and Development Outreach
Program are also conducted in partnership with DCPO. There is also constant coordination of
both forces through the implementation of AFP–PNP Joint Letter Directive (Guidelines in
evaluating the implementation of Internal Security Operation (ISO) campaign Plan against
Communist Terrorist Movement). Although there are several reports with regards to other
threat groups such as MILF and MNLF present in outlying barangays, DCPO deemed their
presence as passive or does not pose a serious threat in the City. However, they are constantly
being monitored.
Jail Management
As of 2015, BJMP has 131 jail officers. Inmates detained in Davao City Jail (DCJ) are prisoners
either waiting for a sentence or a sentence of one day to not more than three years while
inmates sentenced for longer punishment are transferred to Davao Penal Farm in Dujali, Davao
del Norte. Ninety nine percent (99%) of inmates are from Davao City while only one percent
(1%) from other provinces in Mindanao who committed crime in the City. The prisoners’ daily
subsistence is P50 per day. The DCJ Annex is intended for older person 50 years old and above
and inmates who are TB positive and TB symptomatic. With the decongestion program, other
detainees were also transferred to DCJ Annex. The Davao City Female Dormitory, otherwise
known as Ray of Hope Village, a jail facility intended for women who committed crime, has
duplex as living quarters, multipurpose hall, nursing rooms and other amenities for children and
women. The facility received several accolades and distinctions for providing a unique initiative
treating women and their children with dignity and respect.

In 2011, Dr. Alojado donated Child Minding Center in DCJ compound, which was purposely for
the children of DCJ Officers and inmate visitors. DCJ has also acquired inmate transport bus
provided by BJMP, 1 service vehicle and 1 ambulance van to transport inmates with serious
medical conditions in hospitals. There is a total of 22 security cameras. However in DCJ Annex,
there is no emergency light that can be utilized in times of electrical outage. Its 4 security
cameras are also unserviceable. Meanwhile, the BJMP has 144 handcuffs that are all in good
condition.

Jail population in Davao City has been constantly increasing. In 2013, total inmate population
was 2,137, which further rose to 3,321 in 2015. The increase was 5.40% in just a matter of three
years (2013 to 2015) or an approximate increase of 19% annually. Davao City Female Dormitory
exhibited a considerable increase of 84.26% followed by DCJ (Main) with 56.03% and DCJ
(Annex) with 32.81%. With this scenario, DCJ will have a problem on the ratio of total number
of jail officers and the limited cell area of DCJ compound with the increasing number of
inmates. Jail officer (JO) to inmate ratio is 1:21 in 2015, more than the standard 1 jail officer in
every 7 inmates.

DCJ Main will need additional 286 JOs from its existing number of 71 to achieve the required
number of JOs (Table 3.80). The DCJ Annex and Female Dormitory (Ray of Hope), meanwhile,
need 26 and 32 additional JOs, respectively. Consequently, a total of 344 additional JOs are
needed as of 2015.
Table 3.80 also shows the minimum lot area and cell area requirement of inmates based on
Republic Act No. 10575 otherwise known as “The Bureau of Corrections Act of 2013.” The DCJ
facilities will need an additional 99,630 square meters of lot area especially in DCJ Main that
already suffered worst condition to fully comply with the standard 30 square meters per
inmate. Given the existing cell area, the DCJ will need 15,610 square meters to meet the
standard 4.7 square meters for every inmate.
With the increasing number of inmates, additional structures/cells are highly recommended.
However, given the fix land area of DCJ, construction of vertical structure/facilities is ideal to
fully utilize the limited space of the compound. There shall be also the construction of a bigger
quarter for additional JOs who will be employed to cater the number of inmates and other
amenities as required by the law.

Central 911
Central 911, a facility that operates under the Office of the City Mayor, serves as a link between
a citizen needing assistance and the City Government’s emergency resources such as police,
fire, medical, and rescue. Through a call center that operates on a 24/7 basis, emergency calls
are cascaded to respective district action centers and police mobile units.
Central 911, which started in September 2002, addresses emergency calls for criminal incidents
that need police assistance. With its state-of-the-art facilities, it has capability to respond to
almost any type of emergency. It has also emergency medical services, urban search and rescue
operations, fire auxiliary services and K-9 units. As of 2015, Central 911 is manned by 654
personnel who include call takers and dispatchers, emergency medical technicians (EMT),
rescue technicians, auxiliary fire fighters, dog handlers, center personnel and drivers. It has also
established three satellite stations (Toril, Calinan and Panacan) to reach far flung areas and
establish quicker response to emergency. A private company also established a satellite station
in Barangay Cabantian that would provide services to people living in Buhangin district and
nearby areas.
The Central 911 has a new computer dispatching system, which is the computer aided and
response emergency dispatch (CARED) system, that is capable of capturing phone numbers and
archives previous call transactions, multiple dispatching system, locating caller using DLPC
codes and coordinates on offline and GPS coordinated maps, and tracking responder vehicles
and alarms when new call/assistance are received.

The numbers of calls decreased from 83,463 in 2012 to 51,352 in 2016. These calls classified
under variance include cancelled calls, prank calls, false alarm, multiple caller incidents, calls
referred to other agency and calls that were not responded due to unavailable emergency
vehicle and personnel. This implies that the quality of calls overtime improves as the center
receives more valid emergency calls. Notably, Central 911 will be more effective and efficient to
provide faster emergency response should there be satellite stations in all administrative
133
districts of the City, given the fact that the City’s population is increasing. The cost of
establishing the stations and the means to operate and maintain, however, would incur
additional cost for the City Government. Most of the calls came from Talomo District with
19,776 recorded calls or 16.73% of the total calls received, followed by Poblacion District with
13,558 calls or 11.47% and Buhangin District with 7,620 or 6.45%. The remaining districts
composed of 11.82%. The others in Table 3.83 include unlocated callers, outside Davao City and
hang-up calls.

Public Safety and Security Command Center (PSSCC)
The Public Safety and Security Command Center (PSSCC) is created through Executive Order No.
12, Series of 2010 of the City Government of Davao and the memorandum signed by Mayor
Sara Duterte on November 22, 2010. The PSSCC implemented an adaptable and variable
coordinative structure purposely made to address the different issues of safety and security
relative to crime, terrorism, traffic, health and social services, emergency services and disaster
risk reduction. The PSSCC is the administrative/operational component for different units
composed of Civil Security Units and personnel of the City Government (City Economic
Enterprise Management Office, General Services Office, Sangguniang Panlungsod, Davao City
School Security Unit/Watchmen and City Mayor’s Office), Special CAFGU Active Auxiliaries, Task
Force Davao, police mobile operations, CCTC operators for surveillance system, traffic
monitoring operations and coordination and barangay tanods.
134
The PSSCC provides framework, which aims to encompass the range of crime suppression
initiatives currently implemented in partnership with the City Government and DCPO. Among
the initiatives are the central themes of shared responsibility and interoperability that
underpins the Safe City Framework. It also administers unique programs.
With the rice subsidy program and unit crime incentive program, rice subsidy is given to law
enforcement and martial units. Incentives are also provided to the units for every crime cleared
and solved. The surveillance of existing and impending threat is carried out by PSSCC with the
help of 16 surveillance cameras of Intelligent Operation Center (IOC). The 173 cameras of
Traffic Operation Center also help in monitoring of traffic and imposing non-contact
apprehension of traffic violators plying in the City streets. A Facebook page was also established
by the center to inform the public of the City’s traffic situation especially during peak hours.
Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (DRRMO)
The Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (DRRMO) is responsible for setting the
direction, development, implementation and coordination of disaster risk reduction and
management programs. It shall perform its functions, i.e., DRMM administration and trainings,
which include raising public awareness and providing capability building through organization
and conduct of trainings and orientations on DRRM; DRRM research and planning for the
conduct of research and development initiatives as well as formulation and implementation of
comprehensive and integrated Local DRRM Plan (LDRRMP) and; DRRM operations and warning
to develop, strengthen and operationalize mechanisms for partnership and networking with the
private sector, CSOs and volunteer groups and operationalization of multi-hazard early warning
system, response, management and monitoring in times of disaster as well as establishment of
DRMM Operations Center. The DRRMO, through the DRRM Operations Center, gives emphasis
on preparedness by way of conducting different preparedness activities.
The DRRMO strengthened disaster preparedness at the grassroots level by organizing Disaster
Action Teams (DAT) in communities/barangay, schools and private institutions. A Barangay
Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Committee (BDRRMC) was also established, which
spearheaded their barangay’s Investment Plan on disaster preparedness for review and
evaluation by the office to carefully assess the implementation of plans and ensure proper
utilization of funds by issuing certificates to barangays compliant with the submission of their
DRRM plans. Drills and exercises were also conducted to prepare the communities/institutions
in terms of coordination and response in times of emergency.

In coordination with different local and national government offices/agencies and stakeholders,
the DRRMO was able to profile the City’s vulnerable barangays according to type of
hazard/disaster. Out of 182 barangays, 94 are at risk from floods, mostly those in low lying
barangays and those located near rivers. A total of 19 barangays are at risk from sea swell
(monsoon waves), which are the City’s coastal barangays while 77 are at risk from fire, where
the areas are identified as densely populated and communities with higher concentration of
fire prone structures. In addition, 13 barangays are at risk of strong winds while three
barangays specifically in Poblacion District are at risk of earthquake. The DRRMO was also able
to identify evacuation centers that are available in times of disaster occurrence. The use of
schools as evacuation center will be the last resort to prevent disruption of classes.

LOCAL ECONOMY
4.1 The Primary Sector
Agricultural Crops
Agriculture plays a vital role in Davao City’s economy. The City’s good weather and premium
quality soil contribute to high-yield efforts. As it is located outside the typhoon belt, the City is
an ideal location with only minimal threat and weather-induced devastations. Of the City’s total
244,000-hectare land area, 30% is classified as agricultural areas.
With its vast land and high-yielding crops, Davao City boasts as one of the agricultural giants in
the country. There are presently 23 major crops that are monitored by the City government.
The total volume of production of the major crops totalled 638,068.79 metric tons in 2017,
hiking by 3 percent from 2016 figures.
Coconut plantations take up most of the land area with 32,430 hectares or 60% of the total land
area planted with major crops. As of 2017, the volume of production of coconut reached
255,819.05 metric tons, which is the highest out of all the major crops of the City. Banana came
in second with 253,995.56 metric tons followed by pineapple with 25,479.25 metric tons.
Ube is the last in ranking both in land area and production. There are only about 9 hectares of
land that are planted with ube, which produced 46.58 metric tons.
The agricultural products from the City have been globally recognized, meeting the standards of
the foreign markets. The crops such as bananas and coconuts are among the City’s top exports.
Bananas, for instance, are exported to countries like Japan, China and Middle East. Davao’s
cacao, which is of premium taste from bean to bar, also gains a global ground with Malagos
Chocolate at the forefront that achieved an accolade at the 2018 Academy of Chocolate Awards
in United Kingdom.

In Table 4.2, there was a decline on most of the major crops in 2016. The volume of production
declined due to limited supply of disease-free and high-yielding breeds/varieties, diminishing
number of pollinators, absence of steady supply of planting materials and limited methods to
effectively eradicate pest infestation and disease outbreak. There was also an increased cost of
input materials and vegetables due to outsourcing from other places. Both varieties of corn
(yellow and white) suffered a decrease in area and production volume all throughout the
138
reference period. Meanwhile, Cavendish and Lacatan varieties of banana increased in area and
production. The City also posted increases, both in production volume and area, for industrial
crops like cacao and gabi. Coffee, meanwhile, declined in area and production volume in 2015.

The City Agriculturist’s Office (CAO) reports that there are only 2 agricultural facilities in the City
that render services (Table 4.3). Additional facilities and services are needed to address the
issues on farmers’ low uptake and adoption of good agriculture practices and organic
139
production practices, limited number of common service facilities for processing fruit and
vegetable products, lack of technical support, limited access to production and market
information, lack of access to financial assistance, limited range of financially viable and
environmentally safe technologies for small and medium scale farmers, limited technical
expertise on appropriate organic farming practices, limited good manufacturing practice
compliant post-harvest facilities, limited capacity of seed farms and absence of resources to
further expand seed nut production.

As of 2016, there were only 3.41% of agricultural workers out of the 1.670 million population in
the city, based on the projection made by the PSA. The number of agricultural workers seems
small for a large city whose economy significantly relies on agriculture. Most of the workers in
the agriculture industry are in the Third District which covered 74.51% of the total. This is
followed by the Second District at 22.32% while the First District only account 3.17%. The data
signified that bulk of the workers are in the Third and Second Districts, where most of the city’s
agricultural zones are situated.
Of the total agricultural work force, orchard farmers make up 42.83% while farmers account
20.21%. Aqua-farm cultivators have the smallest number and they only make up 1.73% of the
total population. Fisher folks make up 4.26% of the total agricultural work force. Crop farmers
and ornamental and other plant growers also make up 15.27% and 15.69% of the total,
respectively.
The agricultural industry also struggled on the lack of skills among laborers in agriculture. The
skills of the workers have to be improved to bolster the quality and quantity of production. On
the other hand, there is proliferation of middlemen who hinders the farmers and laborers from
earning profit. The farmers should have direct access to the markets to curb the proliferation of
middlemen.

Other matters that need to be addressed include post-harvest losses due to meager storage
and post-harvest facilities, lack of farm to market roads (FMRs), and increased cost of
transportation. Also, there is a need for value-adding of crops because of the low income gains
from agriculture-based livelihood.
Livestock and Poultry
The livestock and poultry producers remain bullish, taking pride on their products that are free
from foot-and-mouth disease and bird flu. The growers are also beefing up good agricultural
practices to maintain having disease-free products. As of 2017, the volume of production of
livestock and poultry in the City totalled to 7.256 million heads. This increased by 8% from 2016
figures.

Fisheries
Davao City produced 450,256.12 metric tons of fish and other aquaculture products as of 2017.
This declined from 617,020.16 metric tons in 2016. A huge dip was observed specifically on
commercial fishing that declined by 40%. The decline was attributed on the strict enforcement
of commercial fishing ban, which commences every June until August of the year. The
implementation of the three-month fishing ban, which started in 2014, was spearheaded by the
Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources XI.

Forestry
The City’s forest resources are suffering from rapid degradation and depletion due to
overexploitation. Monitoring and regulation must be implemented to solve the problem. The
replanting efforts of farm forests are also moving too slow.
The national government agencies and local government units need to coordinate better and
perform their respective functions with efficiency and accuracy.
Davao City has been sourcing forestry products, like wood from other places, because of a lack
of source materials from licensed wood processing plants. The local supply of forestry products
is also independent to meet the rising demand.

Agricultural Support Facilities
To bolster the agriculture industry, the national and local governments set up agricultural
support facilities for the benefit especially of the farmers and fisher folks. The local government
also prioritized on pouring investments for the establishment of facilities for the agricultural
sector, which was among the economic growth drivers in the city.
Post-harvest facilities, including mini-warehouses, have been provided regularly by the

Department of Agriculture and other agencies to the different farmers’ groups and association.
To date, around 21 mini-warehouses were provided to farmers’ associations (Table 4.9).
Likewise, multi-purpose drying pavements (MPDP) were provided to the farmer beneficiaries of
Davao City, where there were 1 unit in Paquibato District, 2 in Baguio District, 4 in Tugbok
District, 8 in Marilog district, 8 in Calinan District, and 1 unit in Toril District.

4.2 The Secondary Sector
Manufacturing
The manufacturing industry has sub-sectors such as metal works, furniture and woodworks,
and toys, gifts, wearable and housewares.
The metal works industry gained a major boost in 2014 with the arrival of New Carcar
Manufacturing Inc., a large steel manufacturing company that declared ₱965.6 million in
investments, accounting for 71.38% of the entire capitalization amount that year. However, in
the following year, lesser companies were involved in metal works, from 124 registered
manufacturers to only 95, but had minimal effect on the total capitalization. A total of 14 new
companies were added in 2016, which helped in increasing the total amount of investments to
₱1.3 billion.
The woodworks and furniture-making industry struggled through the years. It experienced a
sudden drop in terms of investments, from ₱498.61 million in 2013 to only ₱202.6 million in
2015, cutting it to more than half. This attributed to the halt of the operations of a huge wood
manufacturing company that valued about ₱300 million and the decrease in popularity of
wooden furniture/products. The number of wood manufacturers also declined to 68 in 2016,
from 102 registered wood manufacturers in 2015.
The toys, gifts, wearable and housewares industry stood at a growth rate of 3.25% in 2014. The
industry slowly declined in investments by -25.42% and -29.67% in 2015 and 2016, respectively.
To revive the sector, the Mindanao Trade Expo Foundation Inc. (MTEFI), in partnership with
government line agencies, LGUs and private organizations, initiated the project that aims to
provide intensive training to producers that will enhance their skills, productivity and
competitiveness by introducing new techniques on handling materials and new tools and
equipment. MTEFI’s target period of implementation is from January to December 2018.

Food Processing
Food processing is the conversion of certain edible raw materials into food or other forms of
food through a series of mechanical steps and techniques and or chemical operation. This
process involves among others, activities such as chopping, marinating, juicing, mixing and/or
cooking, preservation, canning and or packaging.
In 2013, there were 854 businesses engaged in food processing. A slight increase was noted in
2014 with the addition of nine new establishments. However, in 2015, there were only 857
registered manufacturers. The number further decreased by 1.4% in 2016 with only 845
establishments left.
Total investments amounted to ₱877 million, ₱1.6 billion, ₱2.1 billion, ₱1.4 billion in 2013,
2014, 2015, and 2016 respectively. In 2013, a significant increase of 88% or ₱771 million was
observed and continued to rise by 28.65% or ₱472 million in 2015. A different trend was
exhibited in 2016 where investments significantly decreased by ₱567 million. Almost 50% of
registered bakeries stopped operations as some shifted in a different line of business.
In terms of employment, the total number of declared employees in 2013 was 5,249. Additional
1,245 workers were registered in 2014 with the opening of new businesses. In 2015, despite the
decrease in food manufacturers, laborers were still in demand, reaching 7,447 employees
involved in the food business. However, in 2016, the number workers declined to 6,664.

Construction
Davao City is experiencing a construction boom with the issuance of 8,617 building permits as
of 2017. The figures increased by 67% compared in 2016. The issued building permits also
include ancillary works such as demolition, fence, sidewalk, and excavation.
The assessment cost also increased to ₱16.2 billion in 2017 from ₱12.8 billion in 2016. The
figures were lower compared in 2013 that displayed high assessment cost of ₱20.59 billion with

Mining and Quarrying
The City Government has been adamant on banning mining activities on metallic minerals such
as gold, silver, copper and bronze. Only quarry operations on non-metallic minerals are allowed
in the City, namely limestone, cement, pozzolan, sand and gravel, and earthfill and gabbro.
Limestone mining activity is largely located in Budbud, Bunawan. It has the highest volume and
value of production recorded among all the minerals. In 2014, it registered a total of 2,246,478
metric tons with a value of ₱205.6 million, while it totalled to 2,228,431 metric tons that
amounted to ₱263.4 million. An increase in value of production has been noted at 28.12%.
However, in 2016, its value dropped at -24% due to the lesser production of the mineral.
Pozzolan, on the other hand, is extracted at Biao Escuela, Tugbok District. The total production
in 2015 reached 121,069 metric tons, which was higher than in 2014 at 91,461 metric tons. The
value of production amounted to ₱43.97 million in 2015, which increased from ₱32.4 million on
the previous year. But, in 2016, the production of the mineral decreased to 81,365.33 metric
tons, which value ₱36.6 million.
Sand and gravel are extracted at various areas within Davao City. It exhibited an increasing
trend both in production and value in 2014-2016. As of 2016, the production of sand and gravel
reached 595,685.65 metric tons with production value of ₱16.6 million, which increased by 53%
from the previous year. The increased in volume of sand and gravel complimented the boom in
real estate projects in the city.
Meanwhile, the SAG/EF and quarry operators with permits reported that the production of
earthfill reached a total volume of 194,284.50 cubic meters in 2015, which grew by 34.71%
from 2014 that only yielded 144,222 cubic meters. Total amount reached P4.1 million and P4.93
million in 2014 and 2015, respectively. In 2016, the extraction of earthfill continued to increase
by 38.36%, yielding 269,292 cubic meters that amounted to ₱5.5 million.
Gabbro mining is also being conducted in various areas of the City. The extraction of this non-
metallic mineral yielded a production of 580 cubic meters, which amounted to ₱116,000 in
2015. The figure showed an increase by 20.83% compared in 2014 figures at 480 cubic meters
that valued ₱96,000. The production of the non-metallic mineral was lesser in 2016 that
declined to 540 cubic meters, with a slight dip in total value of production at ₱109,000 (-6.03%).
This mineral, which is also called granite, is used in the construction industry (Table 4.15, see
next page).

Tourism
Tourism-oriented facilities in Davao City steadily grew through the years with the continuous
increase in tourist arrivals. The number of tourism-oriented establishments increased from
1,642 in 2014 to 2,466 in 2017.
Of the figures, data from the City Tourism Operations Office (CTOO) bared that the number of
restaurants and entertainment facilities totalled 1,647 in 2017 from 969 in 2014. There were
also additional accommodation facilities, reaching 318 in 2017 from 245 in 2014.
The number of money changers continued to increase as the figures reached to 196 in 2017
from 68 in 2014. The money changers readily assist tourists who want to exchange their foreign
bills to Philippine peso.
Only the number of shopping centers, handicraft and delicacy stores declined from 13 in 2014
to 20 in 2017. Amid the decline, the City Government established Pasalubong Center, which
served as a hub for entrepreneurs who sell Davao-made products.

Tourist arrivals reached an all-time-high level at 2.013 billion in 2017. The figures buoyed up
from 1.530 billion in 2014 despite Martial Law declaration for the entire Mindanao beginning
May 23, 2017 (Table 4.18, see next page).
Foreign tourists remained unfazed as their number grew from 111,553 in 2014 to 126,294 in
2017. The number of Balikbayans or overseas Filipino workers and local tourists also continued
to increase. Balikbayans, for instance, totalled 48,020 in 2017 from 7,012 in 2014. Local tourists,
on the other hand, continued to be the top contributor in tourist arrivals as there were 1.838
million of them who traveled to Davao City in 2017 from 1.716 million in 2016.
The influx of travelers also created a multiplier effect. In the average three and a half-day stay of
the travelers, data from the CTOO bared that each tourist was able to spend ₱4,270 daily as of
2017. This includes expenses on food, accommodation, transportation, entrance fees at tourist
attractions and ‘pasalubong.’ Noting the positive impact that the tourism industry contributed,
the City generated an economic benefit of ₱68.06 billion in 2017, which spurred by 39% from
2014.

Information and Communication Technology
Davao City is the fastest growing information and communication technology (ICT) hub in
Mindanao. Based on Tholons, a US-based strategic advisory firm for global outsourcing and
investments, Davao has consistently remained in the Top 100 outsourcing destinations in the
world since 2013, along with Cebu City and Metro Manila. With this high rate performance,
Davao is eyed to be the next big destination for ICT business locators.

4.3 The Tertiary Sector
Financial Institutions
The number of financial institutions slightly declined from 1,323 in 2014 to 1,317 in 2017. The
decline was attributed to the reduction on the number of insurance and pre-need companies,
financial/lending investors, and other financial institutions. The number of pawnshops also
dropped from 353 in 2016 to 339 in 2017.
The City Government is strictly monitoring on financial institutions especially the pre-need and
insurance companies to prevent the public from being victimized on investment scams.
Banks, meanwhile, remain to be the strongest player in the financial industry despite the
presence of cyber threats and risks of online banking. As of 2017, there are 170
commercial/industrial/development banks and 73 savings/rural/thrift banks (Table 4.21, see
next page).

Investments
The steady influx of investors positions Davao City as among the strongest economies in the
Philippines. It proves to be an ideal haven, both for local and foreign businesses, with the urban
center’s good climate, huge land size, and dynamic local government unit.
The local government also grants fiscal and non-fiscal incentives to projects in line with the
City’s plans and priorities. Among the fiscal incentives include two-year tax holiday in real
property tax and three-year tax break in business tax. The City also grants five-year business tax
and real property tax holidays in preferred districts such as Calinan, Baguio, Marilog and
Paquibato as way to spur investments in these areas.
As of 2017, the Davao City Investment Incentive Board (DCIIB) granted fiscal incentives to
₱12.98 billion worth of investments, including the bulk water project of Apo Agua Infrastructura
Inc. and Davao City Water District. This increased from P350 million worth of investments in
2013. The Board of Investments also recorded the rise of approved projects, which reached
₱5.05 billion worth of investments in 2017 from ₱2.45 billion in 2013. Overall, the Business
Bureau registered businesses with combined capitalization of ₱272 billion in 2017, which
spurred from ₱203 billion in 2013. The figures implied that the City remained the preferred
investment destination.

Trade
The top 5 import commodities remained the same in 2016 and 2017, with mineral fuels and its
by-products still topped in terms of production and value. Fertilizers, iron and steel, ceramic
products, salt, sulphur and other earth minerals are next in terms of volume produced. On the
other hand, nuclear reactors boilers, machinery, mechanical appliances and other chemical
miscellaneous products are in the top 5 in terms of value in pesos.

INFRASTRUCTURE, UTILITIES AND FACILITIES
5.1 Inventory of Roads by Classification
Road projects remain a key infrastructure for a faster delivery of goods and easy access on
different destinations. To continuously spur road network, the City Government heightened its
efforts to roll out projects in the entire metropolitan area.
From 2012 to 2013, total road network increased by 1.05%. It further hiked by 18% in 2014
from 2013 figures. With the continuous upward trend, the total road network reached 2,366.03
kilometers in the City as of 2016, combining the efforts made by the national and local
governments.
National roads are managed by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) while
the City and Barangay roads are under the City Engineer’s Office (CEO). Of these, Barangay
roads have the longest span at 54.12% in 2016, followed by the City roads at 34.30% and the
National roads at 11.58% of the total.

5.4 Flood Control and Drainage Facilities
Davao City’s Central Business District has a considerable area that is classified as flood-prone.
Flooding has become a main concern after swamps have been filled and concreted to give way to
urban development such as roads and buildings. The following observations below need to be
addressed immediately:
 Invert elevation of major storm drains outfalls to the Davao Gulf are at mean sea level or
lower and for this reason discharge capacities depend on the tide level. The ground surface
elevations range between -0.5 to 3.0 meter + MSL (mean sea level). Average high tides range
between 1.4 to 1.6m + MSL.
 Insufficient maintenance of existing drainage infrastructures resulting to clogged and
damaged drainage system.
 Only 6% of the 1998 Drainage Masterplan is completed.
189
Moreover, some developed areas are located near or adjacent to major rivers and waterways,
where ground elevations are below mean flood level of these rivers. Despite the fact that storm
water drainage systems have been improved in these areas, a number of populated areas are still
subject to flooding, which generally subside after an hour or 2 when the downpour ends.

5.5 Domestic Water Supply
Level I water system facility is a point source system referring to shallow wells, deep wells and
simple spring development without a distribution system. As of 2016, Davao City has a total of 650
units of Level I water supply facilities. The First District only accounted for 101 units, considering
most of its barangays are already served by the Davao City Water District (DCWD). Meanwhile, the
Second District has 234 units, which are mostly shallow wells in Bunawan District. The area is
relatively flat with shallow water level source. The Third District has 315 units of Level I facilities.
Most number of deep wells are in Toril District, where the areas is on top of the City’s aquifer zone.
Drilling of wells in the aquifer zone shall be monitored and regulated to ensure safe level of
underground water, whete rate of recharge is not overtaken by the rate of extraction activities. For
Level I spring source, Toril District has 42 units while Marilog District has 34 units. These 2 Districts
20
Accessibility may be described as 1) accessible all-year-round by ordinary vehicle; 2) accessible only during
dry season by ordinary vehicle; 3) accessible all-year-round by 4-wheel drive only; 4) accessible during dry
season by ordinary vehicle and by 4-wheeldrive only 4) during wet season; 5) accessible by
walking/trekking/climbing only; 6) served by regular transport services, e.g. jeepneys, tricycle, bus; 7) served
by regular boar service or by contracted boat service.
21
Surface of Access Road may be 1) paved (cement, asphalt); 2) unpaved (gravel, earth); or 3) no road access.
22
Condition of Road Surface may be 1) good, 2) fair, or 3) poor.

are mountainous, thereby, creating opportunities for forming spring from mountain run-offs. The
City encourages the use of spring water as source of water supply, instead of dug wells, which will
affect the underground aquifers.
Level II water supply is sourced from either a spring or a deep well with submersible pump, which is
directed to a water reservoir before distributing to the community normally by gravity. Level II has
stand pipes, where 6 to 10 households share a public stand pipe, and pay the monthly maintenance
fee for the common stand pipe.
There are a total of 286 units of Level II water supply facilities in the City. The Third District has the
most number with 198 units, followed by the Second District with 83 units, and the First District
with 5 units, all of which have deep well source with submersible pump. In the Second District, Level
II water supply facilities with deep well are common considering the area is relatively flat, and spring
is most likely unavailable.
In the Third District, there are 149 spring sources, representing 52.1% of the Level II water system in
the area, while 40.9% are deep-well submersible pump source and 7% are pump-driven spring
source.
For Level II water supply system, there is a need to organize Barangay Water and Sanitation
Association (BAWASA) to ensure that the water supply facility will be properly maintained and
operated by the community especially for those that operate through a pumping system, thereby,
incurring expenses in electricity and maintenance of parts.
Level III water supply involves an individual connection type of water system, which is common in
urban areas of the Philippines that are distributed through water utilities. Of the total 182
barangays, 107 barangays or 58.79% are served by the Davao City Water District (DCWD), a
government-owned water distribution utility. The remaining 76 barangays are either served by Level
I and II water supply systems particularly in remote areas. The number of customers of DCWD,
which has exclusive franchise to operate in Davao City, continuously increased by an annual average
of 2.79% in 2010 to 2017. Residential customers accounted for an annual average share of 90.71%,
followed by commercial customers (8.95%). The remaining were classified as government sector and
bulk seller. Average monthly consumption grew by an annual average of 3.61%. Average monthly
consumption during this period was distributed as follows: residential at 77.95%, commercial at
19.33%, government at 2.63%, and bulk sellers at 0.07%.
196
Water production grew by 2.43% in 2016, while consumption registered an annual average increase
of 4.37%. Approximately 75% of water produced was consumed. Daily volume of water supply
posed a 2.29% increase, while daily volume of water consumed grew by 3.61%.
Under the Comprehensive Land Use Plan 2013-2022 and Zoning Ordinance, the residential
development trend is within Cabantian to Bunawan. The residential developments have an impact
in the distribution and supply in Second District. The establishment of bulk water and surface water
development project in the Tamugan River will eventually meet the shortfall in the volume
distribution requirement.
Meanwhile, there are 8 major surface water resources in Davao City. Of these, Lipadas is classified
both as A and AA, indicating that it is suitable for drinking after the required treatment from the
National Standards for Drinking Water (NSDW) was attained. Davao and Sibulan Rivers, although
with A classification, are also classified as B, which are recommended for recreational purposes.
Tamugan River is solely classified as A that is fit for human consumption. Lasang and Talomo Rivers
are classified for recreational purpose, while Bunawan and Ilang Rivers attain C classification either
for fishery, boating/recreational, or industrial uses.

5.7 Electric Power Supply
The power supply is distributed by the Davao Light and Power Company (DLPC), a distribution
utility under Aboitiz Power Corp. The power utility is a major provider in Davao Region and the
third largest privately-owned electric utility in the Philippines, with 26 substations including 22
that are located in Davao City.
Energy supply in Davao City is generated from 8 sources. Of these, PSALM (NPC) and Therma
South, Inc. (TSI) are the major suppliers the contribute 44.36% and 32.49% share in 2016,
respectively. At least 44% of the sources are from hydroelectric plants, which are susceptible to
power supply instability in long dry spell. The establishment of a steady source of energy is
encouraged.
As of 2017, the DLPC served to 250,736 consumers. A total of 176 barangays were linked to the
grid while six barangays depended solely on solar or mini-hydro power resources.
Energy sufficiency and reliability remained to be a challenge despite the significant

development of private sector-led power generation. Power demand is expected to further
spur up with the mushrooming of real estate projects, hotels, malls, resorts and other
industries. Efforts in harnessing alternative and renewable energy sources must be explored to
meet the current and potential power demands.

Airport, is the busiest airport in the island of Mindanao. The Malay architecture-inspired
international airport is considered as Category I by the International Civil Aviation Organization
(ICAO).
The airport, which operates 24 hours a day, has a runway length of 3,000 meters. It has an
airport apron with a capacity of 9 to 11 aircraft stands, occupying an area of 74,250 square
meters.
As the busiest airport in Mindanao, the domestic air traffic volume totaled to 1,686,170 for
inbound and 1,760,152 for outbound travels as of 2016. International annual passenger traffic
reached 44,932 while outbound passengers rose to 46,150. These figures clearly point out to
the growing significance of Davao City as one of the premier gateways of the Philippines.
The expansion of the airport, including the improvement of passenger and cargo terminal
facilities and parallel taxiway, is needed to meet the future increase in passenger and cargo
traffic handling in the next 20 to 25 years with the continuous growth of local and international
routes. Currently, there are international routes from Davao to Singapore (Silk Air), Kuala
Lumpur (AirAsia), Hong Kong (Cathay Pacific), and China (Xiamen Air).
The Regional Development Council XI bared plans to set up new international airport, which
must be pursued. This is projected to serve as parallel effort with the end view of identifying
and securing 1,000 hectares of property for the new international airport until after 30 years of
F. Bangoy International Airport’s operation. The challenge of finding a suitable location will
have to be decided by stakeholders within the next 2 years, given that the gestation period for
airports take around 2 decades.

Seaport
There are 21 seaports located in Davao City, 2 of which are government-owned (Sasa Port and
Sta. Ana Wharf). The 18-hectare Sasa Port, located in Kms. 10 and 11, is tagged as the largest
and busiest seaport in Southern Mindanao. It provides interisland and international shipments
mainly for container cargo and general cargo. The port’s passenger traffic is mainly driven on
servicing travelers from Davao City to Island Garden City of Samal (Igacos).
The Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) crafted a master development plan to keep up with the
increasing volume of the sea vessels especially in Sasa Port. However, the planned
improvement of the facility, through public-private partnership scheme, did not materialize in
2016 prior to elections but there is an initiative anew to upgrade the facilities with PPA handling
the PPP project pegged now at over ₱6 billion.
Meanwhile, the 6.50-hectare Sta. Ana Wharf serves as an access point, linking the City to its
neighbouring provinces within the Davao Gulf. Due to siltation, only small sea vessels are now
using the Sta. Ana Wharf, mainly those going to and from Igacos.
The other 18 facilities are private ports, which are all located in Second District. MaeWess, a
privately owned seaport facility, is the only shipping company that ferries goods and passengers
to Igacos with an average of 30 trips a day.

Land Transportation
Public transport is the primary mode of transport in the City, which accounts for 80% of the
trips, according to the Asian Development Bank (ADB). Tricycles serve as mode of transport for
short trips while jeepneys, multi-cab vehicles, and taxis are for longer distances in the City.
Trips bound outside the City are serviced through buses from the 2-hectare Davao City
Overland Transport Terminal (DCOTT). The monthly bus trips, as reflected in Table 5.27, showed
an average of around 20,000 bus trips in and out of the facility.
With the growing population, the City’s public transport system needs to gain a boost. The ADB
cites that there shall be an enabling environment for a modern, efficient, and affordable public
transport system in the City.
Under the Comprehensive Development Plan 2018-2022, intermodal terminal facilities must be
taken in consideration with the adoption of the high priority bus system (HPBS) and Mindanao
railway system. Terminal facilities for HPBS have to be established in Bunawan, Calinan and
Toril while another terminal facilities shall be set up in Bunawan, Magtuod and Toril for the
Mindanao railway system. The City Government is also looking to have a two-terminal system
for provincial buses. Under the planned system, provincial buses shall be plying up to the
proposed terminals. This is to integrate the provincial bus terminals in the HPBS terminal
facilities in Calinan, Toril and Bunawan.

5.7 Communication Facilities
One of the City’s key economic agenda is to develop the metropolis as the new investment
haven for information and communication technology (ICT) and business process outsourcing
companies (BPOs). The readiness of the City to host ICT businesses with its current
infrastructure coupled with the friendly business environment made the City ranked 75th in the
Top 100 Outsourcing Destinations in the World by Tholons Services Globalization Index in 2018.
The country’s telecommunication sector witnessed substantial investment in infrastructure,

driven initially by the fixed-line development in the 1990s. Recently, the mobile telephone
market flourished, followed by an outpoured interest in wireless broadband services.
The 2009 Philippine-Telecommunication-Mobile and Broadband Executive Summary Report

states that fixed-line teledensity stands at less than 5% in Davao City. The number of phone line
users in Davao Region declined from 139,805 in 2005 to 96,065 in 2010, which accounted a
reduction of 73% among users in Davao City, according to the Regional Development Plan.
These decreases in fixed-line teledensity are inversely proportionate to the exponential shift to
mobile telephony and wireless broadband connections.
Meanwhile, there are 13 postal offices in the City, 6 of which are privately-owned. The Davao
City Central Post Office, which is the main station, supervises 4 extension counters, 2 of which
are privately- owned. The Philippine Postal Corporation (PPC) distributes to 1,050 mail boxes
throughout the City, representing 97.50% of its total postal facilities.

5.8 Public Cemeteries
Davao City has 9 public cemeteries located in different districts. Based on the inventory as of
2015, there are only 2,330 available spaces. However, the available spaces cannot
accommodate the total recorded deaths, which reached 9,490 in 2015.
One major concern is that the cemeteries are affected by floods whenever it rains. The City
Government is currently pursuing efforts to address the problem. The Wireless Cemetery,
which is the oldest public cemetery in the City, was rehabilitated in 2012. The bones were
exhumed and transferred to compartmentalized niches and tombs, to expand the capacity of
the cemetery.
246
LOCAL INSTITUTIONAL CAPABILITY
6.1 Local Government Structure
With the passage of the Republic Act No. 7160 or the Local Government Code in 1991, the
territorial and political subdivisions of the State, including Davao City, enjoy autonomy as self-
reliant communities.
Part of the City’s goals is the realization of the Institutional Development Plan (IDP), which
strengthens its capability in planning and managing the development of the local government
unit.
The IDP covers the sub-sectors such as organization and management, fiscal management, LGU-
NGO-PO linkages and legislative output.
Institutional Development Goal
To accelerate the City Government’s level of responsiveness in exercising its mandate, with the
convergence of competent bureaucracy, committed leadership and active citizenry capable in
generating appropriate public financial resources for rational and effective utilization in all
aspects of administration and development.
Organizational Structure of the City Government of Davao
Pursuant to Commonwealth Act No. 51, otherwise known as the City Charter of Davao, the
Davao City is mandated to provide basic services for the constituents within its territorial
jurisdiction.
The realization of the vision of the City lies on its resources. The accomplishment of this
Comprehensive Development Plan is set in motion through the day-to-day operations of the
entire government as carried out by those in authority, those elected into office, and those who
remain part of the organization over the years.
Existing Organizational Structure
The City Mayor, as chief executive, heads the local government of Davao and holds office in the
executive branch. The City Mayor’s Office where leadership and direction emanates, stirs the
departments to move towards the achievement of its goals.
The organizational structure of the City Government continues to grow to remain responsive to
the needs of its people and establish a dynamic system of governance in place. The created
divisions or units are necessary to focus on program implementation. The institutionalization of
the divsions or units will ensure the continuous operations of said programs.
247
City Executive Branch
Pursuant to Sec. 455 of Republic Act No. 7160, the City Mayor is empowered to execute the
following powers and functions:
 Exercises general supervision and control over all programs, projects, services and
activities of the City Government;
 Enforces all laws and ordinance relative to the governance of the City and
implements all approved policies, program, projects, services and activities of the
City;
 Initiates and maximizes the generation of resources and revenues and enforces the
development plan, programs, objectives and priorities particularly those resources
and revenues programmed for agro-industrial development and countryside
growth and progress;
 Ensures the delivery of basic services and provides adequate facilities.
Congressional Districts
The City is divided into 3 Legislative Districts. The Third District has the most number of
barangays (82), followed by the First District (54) and the Second District (46).
Administrative Districts
The City has 11 Administrative Districts for decentralization of administrative control and
supervision.

5.Marilog 12
248
The Administrative District operates as a quasi-municipal district. The City established district
offices in these areas to have close coordination in the delivery of basic services and bring the
government near to the people.
Barangay Government Administration
The Barangay, as the basic political unit, serves as the top organizer and implementing arm of
government policies, plan and programs, projects, and activities in the community. It also
serves as the venue where the people can express their collective views and exchange of
opinions and ideas. Disputes can also be settled amicably in the barangay.
The City government through the City Mayor, exercises general supervision over component
Barangays to ensure that the barangays function within the scope of their prescribed powers
and functions.
a.) The Punong Barangay
The Barangay is headed by the Punong Barangay, the chief executive of the Barangay
Government, exercises powers, duties and functions provided in the Local Government
Code for the efficient and economical governance. The purpose of which is the general
welfare of the barangay and its inhabitants.
b.) Sangguniang Barangay

The Sangguniang Barangay, as the legislative body of the Barangay, is composed of the
Punong Barangay as presiding officer and seven regular Sangguniang Barangay
Members, who are elected at large.
The Sangguniang Barangay enacts ordinance, as may be necessary, to discharge the

responsibilities conferred upon it by law and promote the general welfare of its
residents.
The City has a total of 1,820 elected Barangay officials.
c.) Barangay Development Council
Sec. 106 of Republic Act No. 7160 stipulates that each barangay shall have a multi-
sectoral development plan to be initiated by its development council to establish a
guideline, which shall steer to economic and social progress of the City.
In 2015, the Barangay Development Councils of 182 Barangays have been constituted
with a total membership of 2,184 coming from the government and the non-
government organization/private sector.
249
d.) LupongTagapamayapa
The Lupong Tagapamayapa was created in every Barangay to be composed of the

Punong Barangays as chair, and 10 to 20 Sangguniang Barangay Members. It will be
reconstituted once in every 3 years.
The Lupong Tagapamayapa exercises administrative supervision over the clashes and
conciliation of concerned persons/ parties and shall meet regularly to provide a forum
for exchange of ideas among its members and the public on matters relevant to settling
the disputes peacefully. As of 2015, there are 2,548 members of Lupong Tagapamayapa
in all Barangays.

Personnel Complement
The personnel in the City’s departments perform functions that are attuned to the mandate of
their respective offices. Contract of Services and Job Order personnel are employed to support
the existing structure, while some are project/program-based to help achieve the City’s targets
and priorities.
The City Government also employs personnel of various degree of educational attainment to
commensurate to the position qualification requirements. As the City prospers, the needs
relatively grow and the services required of the government evolve to adapt to the current
trends.
The organizational structure of the City Government needs to be revisited. There should be the
creation of additional positions and the reduction of positions that have been deemed to have
less relevance in the current demands for specific outputs.
