DAVAO CITY Central 911 Bus Ambulance



Davao City Central 911 is a highly computerized, fully integrated emergency and rescue dispatch system that links the residents of Davao to the entire emergency resources of Davao City. It provides residents of Davao City immediate response to emergencies by simply dialing 911 on any land line or mobile phone.

Patterned after the 911 system of the United States and Canada, Davao City Central 911 uses a modified version of its Geographic and Information System (GIS), called, the Emergency Computer Aided Dispatch (ECAD), a computerized mapping system that allows authorities locate the origin of a distress call and even tracks police response time to emergency calls. It utilizes GIS maps plotted with grid lines to triangulate location of the caller. It also captures stores and recalls data in an electronic database. The system uses color-coded icons which monitor movement and location of police mobile units: Blue for mobile units at rest; Red for on the move response, and Green for onsite.

Part of Davao City's continued expansion and enhancement of its public safety program is the recent acquisition of a brand new state-of-the-art bus ambulance. It can hold 15 patients at a time and reported to be the first of its kind in the country. It is equipped with fundamental medical facilities found in a hospital. Earlier, the city has invested in a P128-million “Intelligent Operations Center” (IOC) designed to further enhance the city government’s response mechanism. IBM Philippines dubbed the IOC as the “first in the world" that integrates all the services and data from the city’s different offices and intends to better manage crime, terrorism, traffic and emergency responses and public safety in the city. The city has now shifted from responding to critical events to anticipating and preventing them, when and where possible.

AMONG MANY FIRSTS IN DAVAO'S PUBLIC SAFETY PROGRAM.

The Glory Mountain of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ


THE GLORY MOUNTAIN is a 21-hectare property of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ located further up the Prayer Mountain in Tamayong, Calinan, Davao City at 3,000 feet above sea level and connected to 2,000 hectares of forest land just below the protected area attributed to Mt. Apo. The said area has been entrusted by the DENR to the KJC for protection and is now planted with 250,000 Benguet pine trees. As work in progress, natural waterways are being enhanced, flowers sown, free range chickens grown and log cabins crafted (we suggested a meeting/activity hall to boot). We await the opening of its glorious doors to the public
