TRAVEL REPORT
Minor Fieldtrip and Seminar
Public Service and Safety Command Center-Davao City
August 2012Field Trip Overview:

Very interesting and educational.

Company Visit:

A peer and I went to Public Safety and Security Command Center, while we were on our way we got lost because we were not familiar with the place plus the fact that the place was not actually visible on the street. When we reached the placed I was actually fascinated of how big the land area was and whenever you looked you can actually see a lot of CCTV cameras installed. I and my friend were actually late, lucky for us since we belong to the second group and that group was the second to enter he facility since the facility is kind of small. When it’s our turn to enter the facility they told us that we are allowed to take pictures however we are not allowed to post it to our facebook accounts or twitters or any other means of disseminating the photos we took. And we are then led to the viewing room and the speaker started to discuss a lot of stuff to us like the history of the organization, its origin, its purpose, its importance to the Davao and its people, and the role it plays in the boost of economy in Davao City. Then after some interesting discussion they showed us some videos caught by the CCTV cameras installed in the city, most of these videos were street accidents. Some died and some were lucky enough to survive. After the discussion they led us to another room, they call it the war room, it is where they discuss a lot of things whenever they need to. The place was neither big nor small; the thing that really caught my eye was the very big table inside the room with a lot of chairs surrounding it on top of the table was microphones for them to be able to discuss things clearly. Then the manager of the command center greeted us with a warm smile and invited us to sit to that very table I saw. He started showing us a video about the mayor’s goal; making Davao City a smart city. He then invited us to ask questions and tried his very best to answer each question. Funny thing was we were so naïve with the microphone in front of us. We don’t know how to use it and no one dare to turn it on, until the manager explained to us how to use it and that marks the start of our question and answer portion.

Learning’s:

I learned that their goal was not solely about the traffic management of the city but the protection of its people, because a safe place brings investors. I also learned about the connection they used with their CCTV cameras which was IP based cam. Other than these, everything was not technical at all. They just shared their future plans with IBM however they cannot guarantee me a safe storing of their data if ever the project will pursue.

I LIKE:

I really like the facility itself, the kind of safety lock they used with their doors. The warm welcome and greeting we got from the manager itself and their people. The videos they shown and the cold air-conditioned rooms we stayed in.
