The entrance of 2017 has been a busy yet great for the Philippines and even Davao City. It was last September 8, 2016 in Laos when President Rodrigo Roa Duterte received the chairmanship of the next ASEAN Summit. With this milestone, Philippines is going to show the world what we can offer and our contribution to the betterment of the ASEAN Community.

Davao City is one of the cities wherein ASEAN meetings and gatherings will be held. Welcoming VIPs and dignitaries in the city places the local government into a high security alert. City ports are all alert for the many possibilities that may affect this major event.

Various government agencies are working hand in hand to keep the city peaceful and in order. In line with this, the Philippine Coast Guard worked really hard for the protection of all.
