A content creator was arrested for flying a drone without a permit in Davao City.

Police said the drone was flown over Rizal Park open grounds while the activities for the Pasko Fiesta 2024 are ongoing.

Flying a drone without a permit is prohibited in Davao City under the Drone Regulation Ordinance.

“Wala siya kabalo nga duna tay City Ordinance, pero dili mana siya rason nga dili nato siya file-an og kaso and yes, so karon, naa na sa public safety and security office ang iyahang drone,” Davao City Police Office (DCPO) Spokesperson, Captain Hazel Tuazon, said.

Those who wish to fly a drone must secure a permit first from the Public Safety and Security Office.

“Ang Davao City, naa tay City Ordinance para na seguridad nato. Mao ng gihimo sa atoNG LGU para pud pagtabang sa atoang kapulisan and other security clusters nga safe gyud ang atong syudad sa Davao and mamaintain nato ang atong peace and order diri,” Tuazon added.

Authorities confiscated the drone and the vlogger was issued a citation ticket.
