you are not here in davao nor been here to understand things on the ground. you are really like a general who directs his people in the battle field, a general whose nearest experience of a battle field are computer games.
before you lambaste the tough lady mayor, please set your perspective right first.
JLS i agree with you, perhaps what happened to the sheriff was the tipping point. Mayor Sarah simply went over the top of her game considering the tremendous pressure and sheer disaster that befell our city. I was there during the moment of the disastrous flood because I live in Barangay Matina Crossing. I was part of the rescue effort organized by concerned individuals.
To give you an insight the demolition should have happened the day before, or June 29. The area were the demolition was to be done is just a block away from our office.
The people there are hardcore and the mayor knows that there would be bloodshed (literally) if the demolition were carried out the way the sheriff planned and wanted it.
The area to be demolished is the area where the sparrow units (NPA hit squads) live. This is common knowledge in Davao that the area is a red area before thus the heat is still there. The mayor asked for a two-hour extension, and not a stay of the execution.
Why two hours?
1. So that she could oversee the process itself
2. so she could avert the bloodshed.
3. her presence alone can act as a deterrent to the possible powder keg ready to erupt.
But the cocky sheriff thought that he had a longer dick and a bigger ball so he went ahead after assuring the mayor over a phone conversation just prior to the actual demolition.
Whose fault is this?
No one
