In view of the recent incidents of violence involving schools and learners in different parts of the country, this Office emphasizes the importance of taking appropriate preventive measures to protect the safety, security, and welfare of learners in the Davao Region.

In this regard, parents and guardians are encouraged, where practicable and according to their own capacity and preference, to consider the use of transparent or clear school bags for their children as an additional preventive school security measure.

The use of transparent or clear school bags is purely encouraged and shall not be construed as a mandatory requirement or an obligation for parents and guardians to purchase new school bags. Schools are encouraged to communicate this appropriately to parents and avoid imposing any financial burden on learners and their families.

School Heads are encouraged to strengthen existing school security measures and coordinate with parents, local authorities, and other concerned stakeholders, as appropriate.
