Davao City mayor beats up sheriff in demolition row

[monroy]

---

As for the mayor having no jurisdiction on the incident, I beg to differ. Peace and order and the people's welfare is a mandate of the city government. Had the demolition caused more harm considering there was a very legitimate offer presented for a more peaceful resolution, then the sheriff could have been legally liable. No doubt she was wrong in her actions but if I were to decide on the case the circumstances alone would have mitigated much of her punishment.

What reason could make a reasonable man not accept a more peaceful resolution to the conflict if it will only make his job easier? Money. The sheriff is corrupt I bet my soul on it. That explains why he refuses to even issue a comment.

So you encourage peace and order by disrespecting an officer of the court, is that so? Hahaha.. comedian man tingale mong duha uy...

The peaceful resolution is to OBEY the rulings of the court as that is their rightful place in society to be obeyed not disrespected and not have their orders disregarded by a mere public official. Unsa may more peaceful resolution, just giving criminals what they want. If you take away the power of the sheriff to enforce court orders, you are making the courts inutile.. ganahan mo ana? Is that what you call peace and order? Do you live in twilight zone? Kai to normal people, if courts can't enforce their decisions or the rule of law that is anarchy, not peace and order.

I know nothing about them personally, but i do admire the Mayor for showing compassion to her people.It is very often to see tough and courageous woman like her specially a woman in politics.She dont depend her people but only want to show them that she is not against them and that she is trying to fix and cool down the situation.

Watching the video makes me smile.I feel sorry for the sheriff that the Mayor did not respect him as an authority especially if you are the family of that sheriff.Im not giving justice for what the Mayor did but if you were in her shoes,you will be provoked if there is someone who is inconsiderate to the so-called less fortunate.

I guess sending the sheriff to the hospital is her way of apologizing.

There is harm being done but good thing is no one is being killed or something.

Sana lang sa mga ganitong sitwasyon na kailangan ang mga lider na inihalal natin eh makita naman sila ng kababayan natin.Hinde yung kampanya lang sila nakikita.

Keep it up Duterte's.

Considerate or not, the court order must be enforced. That is the rule of law. Being poor or being on the side of the poor doesn't give us the right to mock the court, and yes by blocking an immediately executory court order you are mocking the court making it a jester's court that can issue rulings but has no power to implement its rulings.

If being on the side of the poor or being compassionate for the poor makes one right, then she should just join the NPA and fight guerrilla warfare against the government.

sa yahoo news hah

let's admit it.. may mali talaga dun sa ginawa ni Mayor Sara.. but she is willing (IMO) to trade her job and reputation just to protect the lives of the people behind the demolition.
simple instruction.. for better solution.. hindi maintindihan..

Kung tamang asal at batas ang pag-uusapan, maling-mali talaga ang ginawa ng Davao City Mayor. Sabi ng court sheriff, pinatutupad lang naman nya ang utos ng korte. Pero..parang hindi ko rin kasi masisi ang Mayor nila eh. Base daw kasi sa initial reports "Duterte had asked the court for a 2-hour extension to allow residents of Barangay Kapitan Tomas Monteverde Sr. Suliman, Agdao to leave the demolition site, but her request was ignored." Then, nakiusap pa daw ang Mayor na hintayin syang dumating bago simulan ang demolisyon, kasi kasalukuyan pa syang nasa relief operation sa isang lugar doon na apektado talaga ng baha. Sana man lang yung judge na nagbaba ng demolition order, nagkaroon man lang sana ng PUSO. Naisip man lang nya sana "teka, kasalukuyang dumadanas ngayon ng kalamidad ang lugar, maraming namatayan, kasalukuyan pang hirap ang kalooban ng mga tao, palipasin ko muna kahit ilang araw lang, saka ko na ipag-uutos yung demolisyon dun"....hindi ba pwede yun?Mahirap ba yung hayaan mo man lang sana maka-recover yung mga nasalanta?Ano bang klaseng judge yun, wala man lang puso. Sya kaya ang lumugar sa situation nung mga tao dun, na after bahain, mamatayan ng mga kaibigan o kaanak, bigla wawasakin tinitirhan mo. Hindi ka ba magwawala sa galit?Pinahupa man lang sana yung "putik-putik" nilang kondisyon. Eh palibhasa iniisip yata nung judge, "magandang ipatupad na yung demolisyon, wasak na rin lang mga bahay dun eh, mas mapapadali ang trabaho.." Haay..hindi naman sa susuwayin ng mga tao yung desisyon, kasi for sure, darating at darating talaga yung pagkakataon na mapipilitan na talaga yung mga tao na umalis sa lugar, no choice eh, pero hindi na muna sana ngayong lugmok at hirap pa sila. Hay, anong klaseng justice system meron dito sa Pilipinas?Walang puso....


Hanggang ngayon ay hindi ma-alis alis ang laking mangha ko sa napanood ko kagabi sa TV....hindi ko lubos mawari kung anong meron ang isang MAYOR SARA DUTERTE na iyan....isipin mo, nasa gitna ng tension at halos nagbakbakan na, nang dumating sya, at nang makita sya ng mga tao bigla huminto at tumabi ang mga ito habang nag-tsi-cheer ang iba na akala mo dumating na si Superman para iligtas sila sa isang monster....GANOON BA SYA talaga ka-mahal at karespito ng mga taga Davao? Dahil sa dinami-daming riot na nakita ko sa tv...pumagitna rin ang isang KAGALANG-GALANG na nilikha...pero pati sya ay binato...kaya para akong na-shock sa nakita ko kagabi....KAKA-IBA BA TALAGA ang KARISMA NG MGA DUTERTE sa taga DAVAO? Sa amin dito sa Iloilo...kailan kaya dumating ang ganitong senaryo Pag-puti ng Uwak?....wak-wak-wak-wak


Habang nanonood ako ng news di ko talaga mapigilan ang humanga kay Mayor Duterte ng Davao, may mga Mayors kasi na kinatatakutan pero hindi ginagalang, unlike kay mayor Duterte nirerespeto at sinusunod sya ng mga tao, dahil siguro sa matapat nyang sebisyo publiko, nakita nyo nman napakalma nya ang mga residente na galit na gali at nagsiyuko pa sa isang tabi..ibig sabihin nandyan na ang totoong batas..Nakakaawa rin nman yung nan----ari sa Sheriff pero sana nga lang pinag isipan din muna nya ng maiigi bago sumunod sa utos ng korte, may boses nman sya na maaring magpabago sa desisyon kahit panandalian lang, minsan kasi mahirap yung sunod ng sunod kahit mali, lahat naman tayo pwede magbigay ng opinyon kung alam mong nasa tama ka, sana ganon muna ginawa mo sheriff ng di kayo nasaktan..


i don't know mayor Sarah personaly but i can atest to the kind of leader (or at least she is trying to be). we went to davao sometime ago as a group of representative from local companies. Sarah is one of our host, she is not the mayor yet by that time. she welcomed us. take us for a stroll around the venue. even joined picture takings and personaly explaining what davao can offer? since then i became a believer of the Duterte's....it's not all about bravado but a sense of responsibility for the people of davao. hope we have more leaders like Sarah (not punching people) who has the "balls" to go against to thise people who thinks theay are above the law etc.
kudos Mayor Sarah and to the people of Davao!!!


Wow i was so impressed at what Mayor Sarah Duterte did punching a sheriff! And it hit me we Davaoenos are very lucky to have a mayor like her though im not really from Davao City, i feel proud and lucky. She have the true blood of a public servant and the valor of the ancient Joan of Arc.. and it surely run in the veins of the Duterte's. If we only have at least a president like her.. im sure our country would be able to rise up and be a country admired by the world like we admire Davao City. I hope we will have more Sarah Detertes in our country...willing to defend for what is right for humanitarian reason. May God bless u Sarah for u have the heart of the great and possess the agility and dexterity of an eagle and the fierce, daring, aggressive qualities of a tiger, * which is an admirable quality few leaders possess.* Long live Davao City!


Saludo ako sa iyo Mayor Sara! Kung ako ang nasa lugar mo, gagawin ko rin yon, not once but as many number of people who were hurt by the demolition. Isang suntok para sa bawat taong nasaktan dahil sa kawalan ng puso ng Sheriff at ng Judge. Ano ba namang yang 2 oras para maiwasan ang gulo at sakitan? Sometimes you need to do it if only to send a message to people who are heartless.Haven't they heard about the preferential option for the poor and the disadvantaged?


Good day to everyone. Many times I've witnessed demolition here in Tarlac City pero yung nalungkot talaga ako nung kaibigan ko na ang involve at isa sa mga idedemolish. Dun ko nakita ng malapitan ang demolition team na binubuo ng Sheriff, ang mga taong may hawak ng maso, martilyo na pawang nakatakip ang mga mukha at mga kapulisan na pawang animoy walang pusong gumaganap sa kanilang trabaho. Nagkaron ako ng pagkakataon kausapin ang isa sa may hawak ng maso sabi ko sa knya pano nya naaatim ang ganung klase ng trabaho kung alam nyang makaksakit sya ang sabi nya sa akin dahil sa P500.00. Nakita ko sa mga mata nya nangingilid ang mga luha ngunit alam ko na wala nalang syang magawa kundi sumunod, Kung hindi nila masisira ang bahay sa itinakdang oras hindi daw sila babayaran sabi ng Sheriff sa kanila. Maaaring yun ang dahilan kung bakit nagmadali ang demoltiion team na isagawa ang nasabing demolition. Isa lang itong patunay na ang kahirapan ang dahilan kaya napipilitan gumawa ng masama ang mga tao. Kahit labag ito sa kalooban. Sa mga oras na ginigiba ng mga demolition team ang bahay ng kaibigan ko katulad din ng nararamdaman na galit ni Mayor Duterte ang nasa puso at isip ko at kung ganun nga lang din ako kalakas ang loob ansarap upakan ng Sheriff na parang ansaya ng mukha habang unti unti ng bumabagsak ang mga bahay.

pati ang tga Commission on human right etta rosales, kita pod niya ang heart sa among mayor.......

nganung ang cebu kitid man kaayo mag huna2x?

^ read and understand

@maione
the reason ngano kitid ug utok ang uban cebuanos because they are used to nga walay disiplina and some are not reading facts or news, ila ra gi tan-aw is ang babaw nga part ug ang gus2 ipakita sa media para madaot ang reputation sa isa ka taw kahibaw na baya ka media now a days creates confusion and there are some people nga close-minded and ignorant when it comes to things like this

[maione]

para sa tga cebu

eye soar kaayo ning mga comment dinhi ba gamay ra jud kaayo ang mga haters
makabasa ka ug comment from tarlac,zamboanga,iligan,iloilo,batangas, manila,gensan,

She punched the Sheriff - Yahoo! News

[yokam888]

hay basta kami mga taga davao... lipay kaayo mi the way the dutertes are handling our city...

dili na mi mag cite ug mga "law law law" kay as long as we are happy, content and protected from the evils of society, nganong mu reklamo man mi?

kamo mga dili taga davao, ngano reklamo man mo? dili man mo affected, wala naman dira ang mga dutertes, buhi pa man inyong mga criminals ug druglords (datu pa gani kaayo). why complain?

[networkguy]

basig naka limot ka nga kung lumad ka nga taga davao kahibaw ka nga that area nga i demolish is notable for NPA, davao death squads, etc... (for short murag Pasil, excuse me Cebuanos if I have to make an example). Daghan ug isug ug dugo anang lugara.

The purpose for the 2 hour extension is for the mayor to ease the "already on going tension" between the informal settlers and the team sa sheriff. Kay her presence alone will deter the riots. Tan awa ug balik ang video para maka kita ka kung gi unsa pag tahud sa mga tawo ang ilang mayora. Nag gunit na ug puthaw ang uban yet they submitted to their leader.

Kung bright ka nga sheriff, imo nalang unta gipa abot ang mayor kaysa naay mangamatay and mas daghan maangin. Kung imong gi pinpoint ang mayor as war freak, mas angayan tawagon nga war freak ang imong sheriff.

oh i thought peaceful ang Davao og iron fist ang pagdala sa mga Duterte diha? then why man wala ka limpyo si Mayor Digong Duterte sa Agadao? or basin naapektuhan iyang mga sakop nga naa nagpuyo diha?

[monroy]

Disrespecting the court is discipline? Following court orders and making sure the rule of law is enforced is walay discipline? Hahaha.. katawanana pod aning mga taga Davao dire uy, ayaw nalang mog saway sa mga Cebuano ha kai wa moy bawut namo. Mamamatay lang mi sa katawa ani ron.. hahahahaha

wala man guro niya gi supak ang order sa court nga i demolish ang mga illegal settlers did2, what she asked is to wait for her before sugdan ang demolition para walay gubot.

iya ra gi DELAY wala niya gi BLOCK there is a difference between delaying and blocking a court order. kitams? even basic facts maglisod pa ug understand. open your minds and start thinking outside the box hahahahaahahah
