Comment lang ko ani ha, I wanted to keep my mouth shut on this issue but I think I should speak up. Not to brag about it but Ramonito is a relative of mine, mogawas nga auntie nako si Mayor Sarah. And I know how the family members are disciplined and brought up. I remember nga adto ko pa puy-on sa akong mom sa ilang Ramonito sa Davao para mag tarong daw ko ug skwela (paningot ko ug popcorn ato kay ive heard disciplenarian gyud daw na siya). Though we are not as close, our clan has respected them in various levels. They are not perfect, they are human beings and are prone to make mistakes as well. I cannot blame Mayor Sarah for her actions. Though I can say that doing such act makes her vulnerable to cruel criticism from people who do not even understand the Duterte's and Davao City.
A lot of candidates tried to replace them in position, but wala gyud naka daug kay kahibaw ang mga taga Davao nga si Ramon Duterte ra ang maka pa hapsay sa ilang cuidad. On and off nako sa davao I know the BIG difference in terms of the peace and order situation. Ang mga snatcher, holdaper, kidnapper, gangs, drug lords mahadlok magkalat didto. If you talk about Mindanao, Davao always stands out as the key city, mas ilado pa man gani ang Davao City compared to Cagayan de oro. And in other countries, davao is considered as safer than other cities in Mindanao.
Ok going back sa issue with Sarah Duterte. Na focus ang attention anhi ni Mayor Sara. kay ngano
tungod kay nanumbag siya? I-rewind daw nato ang incident and lets try to understand what caused her to do such act. She requested for a two hour extension sa Sheriff para ma hapsay ang evacuation sa mga informal settlers. What that means is she is avoiding further trouble, bisag asa pa sa pilipinas molaban man gyud ang mga taga squatters kay di mo pahawa or na harrass sa mga demolition team?
Now si Sheriff, true that it is his job to make sure the courts mandate is implemented. But that does not give him the excuse to harshly refuse such request for the sake of just saying NO! Unsa may mawala sa Sheriff ug sa korte kung mo hatag sila ug 2 hours nga extension para ma hapsay lang ang tanan? Would it make any difference if they waited for two hours? If the Sheriff insisted on the demolition, would the informal settlers take it lightly? What do you think is the result if it was brutally enforced?
We must have failed to understand that in this situation, we need to look at what is for the greater good. It's not like the mayor refused the Sheriff to do the demolition, she simply asked for an extension to make things smoother for EVERYONE. And since gahi man sad ug ulo (or should I say insensitive) si Sheriff, then it resulted to him getting punches and humiliation from the mayor.
Yes nasayop si Mayor kay she lost her temper, but that doesn't mean the Sheriff is not human enough not to understand the situation. And not see what could have happened if he insisted.
