INCOMING vice president Sara Duterte thanked local government employees after the flag-raising ceremony on Monday, June 20, at City Hall grounds.
She expressed her gratitude to the employees for their support throughout her term as the mayor.
“Because we have all done and achieved in Davao City, so before I leave today for a new set of challenges I would like to take this opportunity to face all of you for the last time as the city mayor,” she said.
“Daghan salamat sa pagkuyog kanako (Thank you so much for joining me) in Byaheng Do30, the city experienced triumphs and hard times and we did it all because of your hard work,” she added.
In a press conference following the ceremony, the outgoing mayor advised her brother, mayor-elect Sebastian “Baste” Duterte, that he should always think about the general welfare clause of the local government code.
“This will not be my last day but next Monday there will be a department head meeting in City Hall,” she said.
On Saturday, she will visit Manila and Cebu then back to Davao again. By June 29, she will be going again to Manila to meet with officials of Japan and China who will attend the inauguration of President-elect Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos.
