Well, here is one warning that Davaoenos must heed.
And we mean this policy adopted by the City government of Davao, possibly as part of its effort to help implement Republic Act 10586 or the Anti-Drunk and Drugged Driving Law in the city. The policy which is now inscribed in huge streamers posted in strategic locations of the city is: “Drive drunk, met accident, no Lingap.” Meaning, if a motorist meets an accident on the road and is found under the influence of liquor or other toxic substance while driving, his family cannot expect any medical and other related assistance. This really is a chilling warning especially for those who belong to the marginalized sector of the city’s population.
