Davao de Oro Province--- Self-responsibility is the key in slowing down rates of Covid-19 transmission and is the most reliable way to fight this pandemic.
With the government’s effort in reminding everyone of the basic health protocols to ward-off the Covid-19 virus, people still gather in large in groups despite health warnings and may cause to elevate cases of local transmission.
To further remind and instill in the minds of every Dabawenyo, PLGU-Davao de Oro in partnership with Globe Telecommunications strengthens its anti-COVID campaign through various means. One of these is the traditional way of promotion through billboards, lamp post banner, and tarpaulins installed in places such as the center island lamp post, waiting sheds, and other strategic areas where the locals can easily get informed.
Among the materials posted were the digital innovations of the provincial government to continue serving its constituents through the use of technology such as the Serbisyo Oro Mismo, Call DdOc, One DdO Helpline System and DdO Bagsakan. Through these initiatives, Dabawenyos can access essential government services without risking lives by physically going outside to offices.
Every Dabawenyo’s self-leadership must go hand-in-hand with the government’s action. The more the people bind themselves with the rules imposed by the government the more chances they get to win against the unseen enemy. Still, it is through self-responsibility with consistent practice of proper hygiene that could save communities from the virus. (Jasteen P. Abella, Information Division, Davao de Oro)
