The Task Force Davao (TFD) and various government agencies held the 6th Kulturavan: Seguridad at Kaalaman in six villages here Friday to enhance the security forces’ relationship with the communities.
Col. Darren Comia, commander of TFD, said they would reach out to the communities through the caravan, particularly the Indigenous Peoples (IP) and the Muslim communities, by providing various government services, such as health and medical consultations.
“Overall, we conducted this to enhance the relationship with the military and security forces to the community. Through the Kulturavan, I believe Davao City will be more safe and secure,” Comia said in an interview.
The Maguindanao tribe, in cooperation with Barangays 76-A, 23-C, 76-D, 9-A, Talomo, and Maa, hosted the event with an expected 1,500 attendees.
“We always ask the leaders (for assistance), and this time, we need to reach out the services from the government to the communities that we serve,” he added.
The city comprises 11 tribal communities, six of which are Muslim, and five are IPs. (PNA)
