THE TASK Force Davao will have to wait until 2018 for its request for border crossing-type equipment at the critical entry points in the city.
In an earlier interview, Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio said the procurement of the walkthrough scanners for passengers and vehicle x-rays were ongoing.
However, in an interview aired over DXAB, Task Force Davao chief Col. Bernard Erwin Neri said the procurement will take longer.
“It’s because of the bidding process,” Neri said.
According to Neri, the best that the TFD could do is wait for the results of the bidding process.
Public Safety and Security Command Center chief Benito de Leon said the proposed equipment would be similar to the border crossing at the United States-Mexico border.
The request for a more sophisticated border checkpoint came after the Sept. 2 Roxas Night Market blast that killed 15 and injured 69 others.
The local government is now making preparations for the commemoration of the Sept. 2 event
The blast was blamed to the Maute Group, with at least five members already under the custody of authorities.
