The City Government of Davao issued Executive Order No. 31, Series of 2026, establishing an Interim Management Committee to oversee the Davao City Crisis Intervention Center – Balay Dangupan, a facility dedicated to protecting and rehabilitating abused, neglected, and vulnerable children.

Balay Dangupan is current being managed by the Davao City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO), which also oversees the operations of other residential care facilities and specialized protection centers in the city. The creation of the committee also responds to the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) requirement for a policy-making and management structure as part of accreditation standards for residential care facilities.

The committee will be chaired by the City Mayor, with the City Administrator as Co-Chairperson and the City Social Welfare and Development Officer as Vice Chairperson. Its members include the City Health Officer, City Budget Officer, Human Resource Management Officer, the Schools Division Superintendent of the Department of Education Davao City, and the Center Head of Balay Dangupan.

Under the Executive Order, the Committee is mandated to formulate and recommend measures to improve the quality of care, protection, rehabilitation, and reintegration services while monitoring and evaluating the implementation of programs and services provided to children.

Funding for the committee’s operations will be drawn from available city funds, adhering strictly to the usual accounting and auditing procedures.

The EO also emphasizes that the committee is temporary in nature, serving as an administrative mechanism pending legislative action. Once the ordinance institutionalizing Balay Dangupan and its permanent organizational structure is approved, the Committee will facilitate an orderly transition to ensure continuity of services.

Napulo ka tuig na ang milabay sukad sa pagbusikad sa 𝟐𝟎𝟏𝟔 𝐑𝐨𝐱𝐚𝐬 𝐍𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭 𝐁𝐨𝐦𝐛𝐢𝐧𝐠
📍 September 2 | Roxas St., Davao City

Gihinumdum sa syudad ang ika-10 nga tuig sa pagpamomba sa Roaxs Night Market nga mikalas og 14 ka kinabuhi ug 68 ka samaran. Usa ka pag ampo ang gihalad isip pagpahinungod sa mga biktima, nga gipangulohan ni Rev. Fr. Emmanuel Gonzaga. Pinaagi sa City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO), nanghatag og food packs ug mga simple nga regalo alang sa mga pamilya ug kabanay sa mga biktima.

Ang maong paghinumdum sa City Government of Davao, gipangunahan ni acting Mayor Sebastian Z. Duterte, anaa usab si Vice Mayor Rodrigo "Rigo" Duterte II, uban ang City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO) Department Head Julie P. Dayaday, uban pang mga kauban nga ahensya, anaa usab ang mga survivors ug pamilya sa mga biktima.

Daghan na ang nahitabo sa atong syudad, apan padayon nga lig-on ug mabinantayon ang katawhang Dabawenyo batok sa bisan unsang hulga ug hagit sa kinabuhi. 💙💛

Safeguarding children from the growing shadow of online sexual abuse and exploitation (OSAEC) and child sexual abuse or exploitation materials (CSAEM), a Davao City councilor has proposed an ordinance equipping Dabawenyo families with the knowledge and skills needed to protect their children from online risks.

Authored by Councilor Richlyn N. Justol-Baguilod, Chairperson of the Committee on Women, Children, and Family Relations, the proposed ordinance titled “Strengthening the Implementation of The Parent Effectiveness Service Program in the City of Davao Pursuant to Republic Act No. 11908, Providing for its Local Adaptation, Implementation, Monitoring, and Sustainability, and Providing Funds Therefore" seeks to establish a Parent Effectiveness Service program to address the challenges faced by Dabawenyo families and guide their children safely online.

“The internet has transformed the way our children experience the world but the same technology that gives our children opportunities can also expose them to individuals who seek to put them at risk,” Baguilod said in her privilege speech on September 1, 2026.

She emphasized that in 2021, the United Nations Children's Fund or UNICEF found that 20 percent of internet users aged 12 to 17 in the Philippines "were victims of grave instances of online sexual exploitation and abuse".

Recognizing that child safety requires a united front, the Davao City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO), in partnership with the International Justice Mission (IJM), held Multi-Disciplinary Team-Basic Internet Crimes Against Children (MDT-BICAC) on August 24 to 28, 2026, equipping local protection officers with tools to strengthen Davao’s campaign against OSAEC and CSAEM.

“It takes a village to raise a child. And that village begins at home. The family remains the basic unit of society. It forms the foundational social structure where children first learn values, behavior, and social norms,” she added.

Following the approval of City Ordinance No. 0194-26, Series of 2026, which prohibits OSAEC and CSAEM and institutionalizes programs for prevention and victim support, the city council is now moving to build on this foundation by extending these protections directly into households, affirming that stronger families mean safer children.
