I am from Davao. It's the safest city in the Philippines. You can leave your bag at the morning in a public place, and you can expect it to be still there at night. Or try the nearest police station, in the lost & found.

Look at the recent comments. It's election time and the paid trolls are trying their best to bring down Sara Duterte and Davao City. I am a traveler and I have traveled across different cities and provinces in the Philippines and Davao City is definitely the safest cities I have ever been to. Friendly police are everywhere and cctvs are everywhere.

the store gifts of Davao from karla stephen singson secretly uses it to sell drugs

Hey anon @march 23, 2021 comment, you really have no idea that it was due to that someone that Davao gained its title as the safest city in the past? Don't open your mouth if you don't even have a clue on the history of Davao. You are probably some kind of youngster or student who thinks they are too edgy against that someone.

prolly somethin or someone left davao that gave us the #4 safest city to live in the world title i dunno

In 2016 before Philippine election I saw Davao City in #4 safest city to live in the world. Why I don't see Davao now out of 226 cities.

-According to the Philippine National Police, Davao City is number 1 for rapes and number one for murders in the Philippines.
This is propaganda based on way-too-proud people who live here in Davao, who want people to think their city is safe, so they all come here to vote.
In my fancy subdivision, a woman was raped about two months ago. -

-my reply to you..walk at night everywhere, you have unreliable source.. you're just jealous just like dilawans.. i agree murderers are getting murdered here in davao.. we are talking about the law abiding citizen and their safety..

Weeel.. I mean if everyone says its the safest. I mean, If you really didnt think so, wouldnt this have rolled on its own a long time ago? I have never been personally, but it looks like the hype has some back to it. Considering the numbers, without fail, one of the safest cities here in the website.

Remember folks, this is the same website based in Serbia that said Davao was the safest city in Asia. Also keep in mind that when Numbeo claimed Davao the the safest city less than 1,000 people voted it the safest city.

People who don't live or even visit Davao, can have a say on how safe Davao is. Some comments here only saw the bombing incident when it's very rare to happen.
