@friech123

you don't know what you're talking about unless your a davaoeno! The power Dutertes have is autocratic but they protect the interest of the people. PERIOD.

haha the anchor woman looks tired as fuck!

siguro e dahil nga talaga sa pagod at stress kaya nabigla din siguro si Mayor Duterte. But all swells ends well.. at least they made to forgive each other.

The whole island of Mindanao is a big misconception of a blemished image, a war-stricken land inhabited by savages, more like a whole different country joining the ranks of mogadishu, darfur, kosovo and chechnya. But all the promises that this land upholds and its glorious riches are blinded by irresponsible and cheap journalism of the media. The propagation of this lame stereotype leads to complete social ignorance of the national and international community.

@russelg000 you are zeroing the punching of the sheriff? how about the severely wounded policeman and people who were injured due to the insurgent violence that occured. Aren't you concerned about the human rights of these individuals? If it was just a Juan dela Cruz who was punched will the reaction of society be the same?

@russelg0 State-of-the-art traffic system, Central 911, free healthcare for the finacially unable indigents, People's Park, Multi-million calamity fund handed out as financial aid to other local governments, Smoking-ban, Firecracker ban, thousands of functional garbage bins.... are only few of the many local-government sponsored projects without any external help from the national government... now tell me which Philippine City enjoys the privileges that we have?

@russelg000 For the lack of infrastructure....How can we progress if the imperialist National Capital Region gets the lion's share of the people's money and ends up to the filthy-hands of politicians with no moral fiber. I wish that we move to a federal government. Sadly the malignant social stigma is being inherited like an heirloom from one generation to the next. If Jose Rizal is still alive today, i bet with all conviction, he'll punch the sheriff too.

@russelg000 Davao is not Melbourne or Vancouver, if that is your subjective image of a first world city. It's unique in its own way and stands proud for what it is right now. But beyond that, isn't it good that we are enjoying a good quality of life that was built and maintained by thinking Filipinos. First world status is defined by a country's wealth, GNP in particular. But we have more than what money can offer just look around.

@bisayangdako100 Not arguing with you. You're content because you're there and you have leaders that might not care about what this incident says. When I worked for DWOB - Davao is hardly a 1st world city. It lacks the infrastructure that you need to be considered to be one. It's kind of a shame that people are praising a politician for resorting to violence, but in all truth when you're fed up and got nothing else to loose - people look to dictators for some sort of leadership so I understand.

@russelg000 I opt to be an optimist not a cynic. Davao is no utopian world not even close, but i am happy and so are the million individuals around it.

[russelg000]

@bisayangdako100 been to Davao. Still a bit off. Blind loyalty is blind.

This is when democracy becomes full of s***. Frequently, the law only goes to the people who have the money and power! If the the capitalists are self-sufficient, who will defend the masses? The Philippines needs one good leader to change the whole system. Our society needs an AUTOCRAT with a HEART (nothing like Marcos). When that time comes then a strong nation shall rise!
