DAVAO CITY – Mayor Rodrigo Duterte, of Davao City, and Maria Isabelle Salazar, mayor of Zamboanga City, have signed an agreement that would forge a sisterhood pact between the two cities in southern Philippines.
Salazar led an official delegation to Davao recently and both mayors signed a memorandum of agreement which serves as the initial step towards the forging of the sisterhood pact.
The visiting officials were also briefed on Davao City’s governance and ordinances, and the local business and economy here, including its emergency facility and security.
“We thank Mayor Rodrigo Duterte for hosting us and the members of the City Council in the initiation of a Sisterhood Agreement between the cities of Zamboanga and Davao. This is a first step towards a shared progress and development of both cities,” Salazar said in a statement sent to the regional newspaper Mindanao Examiner.
She said the proposed new Central Command Center in Zamboanga will be patterned after Davao’s 911 integrated operation centers. The training of the personnel in Davao, which was sponsored by Duterte’s office, was led by Zamboangueno Manuel Jaldon, who heads the Central 911.
Salazar also met with some investors in Davao.
The proposed sisterhood agreement between Zamboanga and Davao City is pursuant to a resolution approved by the Zamboanga City Council. (Mindanao Examiner)
