MGA BUS, I-DEPLOY ARON MAGHATOD OG MGA TEACHERS GIKAN DOWNTOWN PAINGON MARILOG, DAVAO CITY
The Davao City government will deploy two buses donated by the city's sister city Nanning of the People's Republic of China - one to shuttle public school teachers to and from the downtown area to Marilog and the second for tourism purposes.
The deployment of one bus for teachers assigned in the Marilog District will ease their travel. The teachers had been facing difficulty in traveling to Marilog due to a lack of public transport plying the area.
April Marie Dayap, the head of the Davao City Investment and Promotion Center (DCIPC), said the two buses, which arrived on Monday, are part of the good gesture of Nanning, the capital of Guangxi Province in Southern China.
“One of the buses will be used to shuttle the teachers who are assigned in Marilog while the other one will be used for tourism and investment purposes,” she said.
Dayap said the other bus will serve as transport for visiting foreign investors who would like to explore Davao City.
She said that the buses symbolize the strong relationship and friendship between the two cities. Davao City and Nanning are sister cities since 2007.
“This is a manifestation of the help that they want to extend to Davao City but not just buses because they also offer scholarships for Dabawenyos in Nanning,” she said.
The two buses were first promised by Nanning officials during the visit of Mayor Inday Sara Duterte in May 2017.
According to Dayap, buses will have "byaheng do30" logo which symbolizes the 30 priority agenda of Mayor Inday for Davao City.
