THE DAVAO City Police Office (DCPO) is finalizing the security measures for the 2024 Davao Regional Athletics Association (DAVRAA).
DCPO spokesperson Capt. Hazel Tuazon said during the AFP-PNP press briefing at the Royal Mandaya Hotel on March 13 that they coordinated with the Police Regional Bodies XI to secure the students participating in DAVRAA.
It can be recalled that on Feb. 12, 2024, Department of Education (DepEd) XI spokesperson Jenielito Atillo disclosed that DAVRAA will be held in Davao City from April 1 to 7, 2024.
Atillo also noted a departure from the previous practice of bidding or rotating the DAVRAA hosting. “After the pandemic, no rotation or bidding scheme has been imposed because we are still in the adjustment period,” he said.
Consequently, DepEd XI director Allan Farnazo requested Davao City to host the regional meet.
All games will be played in Davao City except for the swimming, which will be at Davao del Norte Tourism Sports Complex in Tagum City.
