Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio: Not Sorry for the Punching Incident

-

The punching incident shown on national television on Friday sent conflicting reactions among viewers.

The sheriff looks pitiful for his fate in the hands of the tough lady executive of Davao City. But, Mayor Duterte's actions were said to have been necessitated by the lack of consideration on her request to delay for two hours the enforcement of the order for her to ensure that no violence will ensue in the demolition.

It is best to note that prior to the arrival of Mayor Duterte, a policeman and three civilians were already hurt in the incident.

While the action seemed unladlylike and dishonorable, (a single punch would have been enough, if I were in her place), I find her action justified. After all, the sheriff wasn't barred from implementing the order but simply requested to delay in order to ensure that no one will be hurt.

Law is law. But it should be implemented with reason, consideration and common sense. The sheriff was only ordered to demolish structures...not risk the lives of many, which is not improbable to happen given the heated confrontation.

While some call it politicking, really, if people had died, the Mayor will be blamed for not putting order, for not giving the necessary assistance in the implementation of a court order.

It can be gleamed how the people easily behaved upon the direction of Mayor Duterte, a scenario you'll not likely see in a demolition in Manila.

Next time Sheriffs, give your government officials a little respect, after all, they are the ones responsible for the general welfare of their constituents.

A little consideration goes a long way...


Just for the record, the lady in the hot seat today is the first woman ever to serve as chief executive in Davao City, who defeated former House Speaker Prospero Nograles. A lawyer and a former Vice Mayor of the city prior to her election as mayor.

Janet Jamora: Jinkee Pacquiao's Twin Sister

Married ex PBB Housemate Steve "Tibo" Jumalon last February 10, 2016 A look back at their respective wedding pictures.  Their most recent photos.   Original Post: Jinkee? No. This is Janet, her identical twin sister. This picture may confuse you, as their faces really look strikingly similar. But as years pass by, Jinkee becomes easily identifiable. Thanks to all the enhancements she probably had undergone with.  Good thing about Jinkee is - she is not a selfish twin. Look how they are looking much the same again. It seems like they go together for cosmetic enhancements - a logical option for Jinkee to avoid a glaring difference in their looks. But in the end, Jinkee will always be more beautiful than twin sister Janet, although the latter looks sexier :)
