We will not lower our guards despite our many tasks including scanning the Safe Davao Quick Response (DQR), denying the entry of non-essential travelers and intercepting Locally Stranded Individuals (LSIs) in support to Davao City’s Task Force Covid. I also admired the professionalism and discipline of TF Davao personnel who accomplished these with zero fatality (all suspects are alive) and no allegation of Human Rights Violation.”
