I condemn Mayor Duterte's actions against the sheriff. She's extremely wrong. If she did that to my brother or my father, I will hit her back. The sheriff had legitimate reason to do that to her but he's a nice guy. Regardless of her reason, she just cannot inflict physical harm on anyone. She should not remain in power. Her behavior was wrong and it's not acceptable.

The Philippines is the way it is, recognized around the world as is and lost the respect of other countries because of the people running the country. They are all selfish, self centered, uneducated criminals. This is very embarrassing to hear all the bad comments of other countries re: our culture. It is time the People of the Philippines do something about these abusive Govt. officials. Duterte should be removed from office and tried for assault.

I used to deal with these kinds of people when I was a young lieutenant in the Phil. Constabulary. The government should remove their PNP, AFP, and civilian securities, then we'll see how they'll react. The reason why they act so tough is because of these armed bodyguards.

Philippine leaders are arrogant? Not only arrogant but they are idiots not knowing how to lead. We need to tell these idiots enough is enough and if they don't behave, we Filipinos who live overseas will go back out there and take over the whole stupid place. Filipinos overseas are smarter and more reliable than those in our country. We need change folks; we have enough brain power and resources to kick these bastards out if we are united.

Because our counterparts in the Philippines are intimidated by Rodrigo Duterte, who has that reputation as a "vigilante", and a daughter who has an anger management issue, we should ramp up the criticisms about the family. We must increase the pressure until Sara is suspended or relieved. We should raise the issue also if Rodrigo could stay as acting mayor since he had already maxed his term as mayor.

Katulad ng bayang naming Tayug, Pangasinan. Ang mga ABUSADO ngayon doon ay ang mga classmates and batchmates ang kasalukuyang Mayor. They shoot the street lights, they maul people, they do drive-by shooting at houses and even kill the people who are against the Mayor's corruption. People are afraid to talk, scared to speak of what they really know about what is the truth that happening in our town Tayug, Pangasinan. Improvement is their front but, CRIME AND VIOLENCE IS RAMPANT.

This Duterte hullaballoo is really moronic in the first place the land that is the subject of the eviction notice was acquired by a Chinoy thru a tax delinquency auction. If the government of this "Robin Hood" Dutertes were really for the poor how come the City of Davao did not buy the property then distribute the property to the poor?

Maraming sumoporta sa mga Duterte ng Davao, talaga namang takot sila dahil kahit bastos ang leader nila okay pa rin sa kanila. Tandaan nila na ano man ang tinulong sa kanila yon ay pera ng bayan at hindi sa mga duterte. mahirap talaga ang takot, kung sabagay maykatwiran silang matakot dahil kung manalita ang vice mayor mukhang sya lang ang kinikilala ng davao. Kaya hindi ako magpunta ng davao ayaw kong itapon ang pera ko sa kanilang lugar, since wala akong sosyo sa mga negosyo nila okay lang mag dirty finger sya oras-oras hangat sa gusto nya at hangat maputol ang kang mga kamay.

RE: Mayor Sara Duterte-- The Vice Mayor is Rodrigo Duterte.. The Judge who issued the Order of Demolition is another Duterte said to be a relative...There is a headline which says Judge Duterte sides with the Mayor because he states there is Rep. Act 7279 which says that when the people subject of the demolition Order are under privilege they are given a 30 day Notice... Judge You should have given that Order to the Sheriff.. "Order .. Subject to the provisions of RA 7279 the Sheriff is hereby Ordered to Execute Demolition Procedures subject to a 30 day Notice. Judge you were responsible for the mistake not the sheriff. Under what law was Sara authorized to beat up the sheriff?

If the demolition order was in fact illegal, according to Regional Trial Court, then why wasn't the Judge who issued the order instructed the sheriff or made him be aware of the 30-day notice to have avoided such commotion? How stupid can these public servants be for missing such basic provision of the law? This is an unacceptable demonstration of negligence? They all need to be fired and pay punitive damages for the consequence they brought to the community. There is no room for this kind of stupidity!

Judge Isaac Rubillo is a big kiss-a*s to the Dutertes. Those people who demonstrated at Rizal park were at the urging of baranggay lt. de Dutertes and sheriff Abe Andres and his families were already warned of the consequences. Hey, the majority of the people of Davao are just plain scared because the Dutertes control the DDS and the NPA's. I think Duterte is an honorary commander of the NPA... if Aquino is truly serious in getting rid of corruptions he should start with this kind of government official

Where else can you find such horrible acts but in P.I. It is about time that Phil implement a new law for Mayoral term. Make it one (3 or 4yrs) term for a mayor. Like for president only one ( 6yrs) term. No more dynastic system like Ampatuans, Dutertes etc. These families monopolize the political system in their provinces so much so that people are scared to challenge them. They act in the guise of being pro-poor, but actually these people are arrogant, abusive, lawless. Poor Filipino people, really pathetic the poor Filipinos coz they're so gullible to believe that these politicians are concerned about them.

Sabi ni vice mayor Duterte ang dirty finger daw ay freedom of expression. sabi nya ibigsabihin nito talagang galit sya at dismayado sa nangyari. Ang masabi ko kay former mayor and currently vice mayor ng Davao wala syang respito sa ibang tao, gusto mo lang ikaw ang hari. Alam namin na may nagawa kang maganda, pero may nagawa karing pangit. Remember pera ng bayan ang ginagastos mo dapat respito naman sa kapwa. Kung gusto mong maging hari umalis ka pwesto mo at ipagyabang mo ang saliri mong pera para masabi nating totoong tao ka. (Pagamit ng dirty finger sa isang vice mayor ay nakakasuka). Yak, nakakahiya ka.

The Duterte clan has no class & no conscience whatsoever. If they are truly & faithfully discharging their duties as leaders of that city, then they should also be accountable for their actions. The arrogant & defiant statements & the use of the middle finger by the father & his son for all to see worldwide was inappropriate & indecent for any public official. Instead of being role models for other Filipinos, they act like goons & bullies. Others are trying & striving to set good examples for sincerity, honesty, & compassion in public service but not the Dutertes who are crude, rude, & rural.

Abused people in the Philippines are often times left without any recourse for justice because they don't have anybody to rely upon to help them push justice. How can you sue when the threat of being killed by abusive authorities is very real? The killings in Davao are not figments of imagination yet the Philippine Justice system, if there ever is really one, has not even done anything about it. Do you think any poor person in Davao would have the courage to go against the mayor, vice mayor who have been known by the Davao people to be behind the killings? Of course he does not want to file a complaint, He does not want to be killed! What is the government doing about it??? Why can't the government itself file a case against the abusers?

The Judge was her relative... There was no remorse.. as if she hadn't done anything wrong. What a country.. only in the P.I.

The aggressive behavior of Sara is reflective of the father and other siblings of Rodrigo (the father). The daughter Sara punches, the father pulls the finger (either with a gun or simply points the forefinger) and the son raises the middle finger. Their behaviors are caught in video while talking or while being interviewed in the media. There is a parallel here with the Ampatuans of Maguindanao. As citizens of a civil society, we must condemn these behaviors. They are disgusting. The family sets terrible examples of public service and therefore they should be "fired."

This is embarrassing. I'm ashamed to say I'm from Davao and be associated with this kind of behavior, not to mention from the Mayor of Davao city itself. I was there 2 weeks ago with the big flood. Maybe she got irritated with all the blame given to her after the disaster, with the local government lack of disaster plan. Still, there's no reason to hit somebody in public or private setting.

Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte should be penalized by the DILG and by the Court for her criminal attack against the Court Sheriff, Abe Andres, who was simply implementing the court order to demolish the squatter colony in Barangay Soliman in Agdao district. There is no need for a tedious investigation of this case because everything is “res ipsa loquitur” or speaks for itself; she’s guilty. She and her vice mayor father, former mayor Rodrigo Duterte) who publicly supported his daughter’s illegal act behave in the way of a gangster boss that has no place in public administration. This is good only for the Mafia.

The police escorts of Mayor Atty. Sara Duterte must be dismissed from service because they failed to prevent the mayor from hitting the sheriff. They appeared even to have held the hands of the sheriff so that the mayor may accurately hit her target. But even if we assumed that they did not participate or they were caught off-guard, the fact is that they failed to arrest her right after she hit the sheriff. These police officers must have known that any person committing a felony in their presence may be arrested even without a warrant and the rules are not held inoperative simply because it was the mayor who did the assault.

Sarah Duterte has a serious anger management issue. She should be suspended if not relieved of her position as mayor of Davao City. She must serve time or undergo probation of which one of the conditions is attending anger management classes. Abe Andres, on the other hand, must receive protection from the NBI or national police otherwise he ends becoming another statistics in the bloody murders of that city.
