i just find this a very poor thinking from a very pathetic person. who really admires his/her city as the best.

Even Innocent Filipinos died in the other countries. not a difference at all in any other great cities in the world. nag damgo nasad cguro ning mga taga Davao na walay ingana sa ilang lugar.

looya sad oi. puros ra man gud PEACE SECURITY CRIME RATE ang ika pang hambog. mao jud ni pinaka common word sa mga baba sa taga davao.

pathetic.
