Casualties of the deadly night market blast here are still confined in different hospitals in the city, 12 days after the incident.
The authorities are now preparing to file charges against the prime suspect of the Davao bombing.
The Public Safety and Security Command Center here has partnered with the Interpol or the International Criminal Police Organization to intensify security measures in the city.
During the regular session of the city council, Col. Erwin Bernard Neri presented the security plans of the Task Force here to local officials, more than a week after the bombing killed at least 15 people and wounded 69 others at the night market in Roxas Avenue. Neri assumed the command on Thursday, September 8.
A pregnant woman who was among the injured in the Davao bombing died Monday, evening.
Ironically, one of the suspects in the bombing here covered his face with a mask bearing a peace sign, police authorities said Wednesday, September 7.
Davao City Police Office spokesperson Senior Inspector Catherine Dela Rey said this is the fifth school to receive a bomb scare this week.
The assistance would be given on Tuesday. Each family of the 14 fatalities will receive P40,000, while the 70 injured will be given P30,000 each.
Three other city councilors were not able to undergo drug testing because of prior engagement and emergency leave.
Two days after declaring a state of lawless violence, President Rodrigo Duterte signed Proclamation No.55 declaring a “State of National Emergency on Account of Lawless Violence,” Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea said Monday, September 5.
