MANILA, Philippines  – The Davao City Police Office (DCPO) on Saturday committed its “full security coverage” to the  inauguration of Vice President-elect Sara Duterte-Carpio on June 19 after several explosions rocked other parts of Mindanao last week.

“At this point in time, continuous ‘yong planning and coordinating conference sa lahat ng security clusters na magpro-provide ng security coverage,” DCPO spokesperson Police Major Maria Teresita Gaspan said at the Laging Handa PH briefing.
