It’s Duterte-Duterte in Davao City

March 28th, 2007 at 9:00 pm (Davao City, General)

Yesterday, Atty. Sarah Duterte, daughter of incumbent Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte, finally ended months of speculation when she filed her candidacy for vice-mayor of the city. She brought with her the certificate of candidacy of her father. So it’s really going to be a Duterte-Duterte bid. This is highly significant because, if re-elected, this will probably be the elder Duterte’s last term as mayor of Davao City. And who else would be the strongest contender for mayor, but the vice-mayor who would most likely be the younger Duterte. Thus, the Duterte reign over Davao City shall continue.

    Its now up to the people of Davao to vote for these family who
    lost the sense of Delicadeza.They thought that running the city
    is just a family matter.Its time for the people of Davao to wake
    up.

    [...] Another interesting thing to note is that the younger Nograles has been sponsoring beauty pageants, talent shows, public works, charity works and other such ventures with his name and face splashed all over Davao City. Moreover, he shamelessly broadcasts these over a local cable channel. I wonder who really paid for such things??? Is he that successful to be able to afford sponsorships and airtime? All these, most of Davao City assumed, are his early moves to position himself as a winnable candidate in the upcoming elections. He and his father have been reported to have lobbied for him to become Mayor Rodrigo Duterte’s vice-mayoralty candidate. Unfortunately for the Nograleses, Duterte opted to have his own daughter Atty. Sara Duterte run with him. When this was finalized, I thought that the Nograleses have somehow laid the younger Nograles’s political career to rest. [...]

    I am glad Duterte and daughter team-up . Since Duterte became a Davao city mayor a lot of changes in the city improvement wise,drug pusher has has been minimized , others crimes have minimized . American friend who had v isited the city, he was so impressed the cleanliness of the city. when Duterte ends his last term as a mayor ,young duterte will assume his father ’s post it she win,the older duterte will help guide her daughter what is the best interest of the city..more power to them!…..
