MAYOR Sebastian Duterte warned suspected criminals and corrupt local officials that their days are numbered, during his speech at the 87th Araw ng Dabaw on March 1.
“Kay ako ma’y nabutang diri ron, kamong mga kriminal kung phedopile ka, rapist ka, patyon taka. Kung kidnapper, holdaper ka, patyon taka. Kung korap ka, unya naa ka sa gobyerno, kalabanon gyud taka,” the mayor said.
He said some of these issues were already prevailing not just in Davao City, but in the whole country.
The mayor also stressed that he would come after those who recklessly drive and might cause accidents in congested and populated areas in the city.
“Ang mga trabahante magbaktas na, mutabok na’g dalan, unya kusog inyong dagan, maligsan ninyo ug mamatay na, kausa ra nang kinabuhi sa tao. Kanang mga driver nga dili kapuyo sa dalan, kung kamo gani makaligis, gukdon gyud tamo. Ang pamilya tagaan nako’g abogado, ipa-priso tamo kung sad-an gyud mo,” he said.
He also urged motorists to respect one another while sharing the road.
“Kini man gung Davao, tungod sa iyahang progreso, sagol man gyud ta diri. Everyone is welcome. Wala ta’y ginadili sugtan diri, basta musunod lang ka sa gusto sa kadaghanang Dabawenyo na disiplinado ‘ta diri sa atoang dakbayan,” the City Mayor added.
He also commended Central 911 for being awarded as a Hall of Famer for Best Government Emergency Management and Response Teams category under the 22 Gawad Kalasag Special Awards.
