Vice Mayor of Davao City, Sara Duterte is officially declared winner after defeating House Speaker Prospero Nograles for the mayoralty post of Davao City, and becoming the first woman to occupy the post in the city’s history. A lot of people voted for her, aspiring her to follow her fathers footsteps, being a good example to the people and doing a lot for Davao City.
Last July 1, 2011, violence erupted during a demolition operation. Sara Duterte repeatedly punched the sheriff of the Davao Regional Trial Court, Abe Andres, during the demolition because Duterte had asked for a 2-hour extension of the deadline to demolish shanties but demolition teams pushed through with their operation. This incident could be a reason to disbar Sara Duterte as a lawyer. Do you think what she did to the sheriff was right? Should the Department of Justice push through in disbarring her?
no!thats not right,hindi porket mayor sya ay kaya na nbya yun gawin!marami naman paraan para makiusap. yun ginawa nya ay hindi karapat dapat..parang ipinapakita nya na walang karapatan si abe at pwede lamang abusuhin. yun ginwa nya ay isang violation of human rights!..dapat syang kasuhan kasi 100% sure ako na mali ang ginawa nya!
ReplyDeleteBase naman sa aking nabasa. ay hindi tinupad ni Abe Andres amg hiling sakanya na bigyan ng 2-hour extension ang mga tao doon.Kaya nagawa iyon ni Mayor Duterte, ngunit hindi naman un tamana suntukin nya ang sheriff. Parang pinapakita nya na porket sya ang mayor ng Davao sya na ang masususnod o di kaya, kaya nya gawin lahat ng gusto nyang gawin.Alam nmn natin na gusto nya tulugnan ang mga taong madadamay sa demolisyon. Para sa akin ay dapat siyang patawan ng nararapat na kaparusahan sa kanayang ginawa.
ReplyDeletePara sa akin mali yung pag suntok nya sa kapwang alagad ng batas. May mga lawyer na nagsabi na "unprofessional" ang kanyang behavior that time. Kahit siya na isa ding lawyer, isang Mayor ay walang karapatan para mang api ng iba kasi may right/s ang taong sinaktan or maaari mong saktan na mag file ng kaso sayo.
ReplyDeletei think what she did was wrong in every way. when she punched the sheriff, she displayed violence to the eyes of her people which i think is very fallacious because she, as the mayor of their city, is and must be the role model of her people and for the next possible leader. when she punched the sheriff, it only showed people from outside of their city what kind of people there are in their cplace.
ReplyDeletePara sakin, both of them ang may kasalanan!
ReplyDeleteHindi nakinig ang sheriff at hindi rin tama ang actions na ipinakita ng mayora. Bilang isang mayor ng isang lungsod, dapat tayo maging maingat at maging responsable sa ating mga kinikilos. Dapat siyang maging isang mabuting halimbawa sa kanyang nga kababayan lalo na sa mga batang nakasaksi sa nangyari. Hindi naman tama na porket nasa mataas na posisyon ka ay pwede mo ng maliitin at kalimutan ang rights ng tao! Paano ka rerespetuhin ng mga tao kung hindi maganda ang ugali mo. Hindi porket tanyag ang tatay mo sa pagiging mayor noon ay umaasal ka ng mali o mataas ang iyong tingin sa iyong sarili. Sana pinag-usapan nalang nila ito sa mabuting paraan nang sa ganon ay makaiwas na sa iskandalo. Nakaiwas ka na nga, hindi pa nasira o nadumihan ang iyong apelido MO. o diba?
PS: Opinyon ko lang po ito. Wag personalin :)
It doesnt mean na mayor siya, ay pwede na nyang gawin kung ano gusto nyang gawin. Haller,kalerkei. Parang iniisip nya na siya na talaga ang powerful over sa lahat. Oo man siguro, pero still, she needs to respect the people under her. Tsk hindi pa rin tama ang ginawa niya. Swear.. In disbarring her? I guess...
ReplyDeleteMali ang both side, si mayor Duterte sa pagbubugbog sa sheriff at ang sheriff din sa hnd pagtupad sa hiling ni Mayor na bigyan siya ng extension. Nagkamali sa paraan na binugbog ni Mayor ang sheriff dahil hindi dapat pairalin ang galit dahil hindi naman un nakatulong at ang sheriff din sana binigyan na ng extension para mas naging maayos ang pagdemolish at walang nasaktang mga residente at nagkaroon sana ng mapayapang situasyon doon.
ReplyDeletewala siya karapatan gawin yun sa sherriff dahil isa syang respetadong mayor. at dapat model siya sa iba. gingawa lng ng sheriff work nya.sana ung knausap ng mayor ay ung sa taas ng sheriff/.
ReplyDeleteDisbarring her? I think so...
what she did was wrong. she should be a good example to the people because she's the mayor, just because they did not give her an extension it doesn't mean that she has the right to beat up Andres. she should be punished for her actions.
ReplyDeleteno..hindi yun tama..lalo na nasa posisyon siya..lahat yn ng tao nakatingin sa galaw niya..ung mga gnun bagay dpat hindi palampasin.dpat parusahan siya..alam ntin n takot ung sheriff na magsampa ng kaso kc mayor ung binabangga niya..government should do what is right..
ReplyDeleteI think that both parties have each of their right and wrong. I think that it was OK for the mayor to reprimand the sheriff for not granting her request, but it was really wrong for her to physically hurt the sheriff for that reason. On the other hand, it was kind of right for the sheriff to push through with the demolition, because he said that if he did not continue the demolition, then he may be the one who will be imprisoned. What was wrong though is that he did not gave in to the request of the mayor for just a small 2-hour extension for her to distribute relief goods.
ReplyDeleteFor me, I think it is just fair for the mayor to receive a punishment from the SC.
I have read many forums regarding this topic and many from Davao are not against with what Mayor Duterte did to the sheriff. Accordingly, di lahat ng pangyayari pinakita sa tv. They said, that what Mayor did is just right. In addition, Mayor Duterte wanted to extend the demolition because she wants to give goods to the squatters. :) But still, Sara Duterte being a mayor must act accordingly, considering that she is a public person and must act as a good leader to everyone. Further, everybody deserves to be respected. Maybe, Mayor Sara deserves to be punished to learn.. :)
ReplyDeleteIt’s definitely not the right decision to raise her fist to sheriff because what she did is absolutely immaturity and inconsiderate among her viewers and love ones. Although what she did is for the good of the people of that particular barangay, but still not a way to show her fellow official the right to do for those who disobey her request or decision. She misbehave in public, she abuse her power, and she reveal who she is makes her not the right person to be in that position. If the Department of Justice debarred her from her position, for me it’s not a good idea because what she did is something like an act of patriotic person. I believe that time she don’t realize it and no one stop her to do it because no one expect it, let us not make any harsh decision like to debarred her instead help her realize because she is not a perfect person just like us.
ReplyDeleteEven though Sarah is a Mayor,it doesnt mean na pwede nya nang suntukin ang kahit na sino, pwede nyang kausapin ang sherif muna bago siya gumawa ng isang violent reaction. on the other hand sana binigay nung sherif ang extension para hindi na sila mgkagulo.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely what she did was wrong, but we all know that she is a woman. Madali lang siyang madala ng emotions niya. Sa sobrang galit niya siguro sa mga grupo ng police kaya nia nagawa yon, may mawawala ba kapag binigyan ng kahit 2 oras ang mga tao na mkapag handa before the demolition? Over din talaga mga pulis na yan!. And the fact na e disbar siya? NO! as what I’ve said nadala lang talaga siya ng emotions nia, sa kagustuhan niang makatulong sa tao kaya nagawa niya un, nainis lang talaga siya. Yun un! And I think the DOJ should give her a second chance, everybody deserves it.
ReplyDeleteWait, let me correct you first, Sara Duterte is not a vice-mayor. She is the mayor of Davao City.
ReplyDeleteThe thing that she did is somehow right and wrong. Right because sometimes, the government officials like the sheriff is very pasaway or let us say, bossy. Sara told the sheriff to wait for her but because the sheriff I think is very aburado, that's why he abolished the place. Sara is wrong because she should punch the sheriff, yes, we are living in a democratic country wherein, even the bad guys do have the human rights.
Absolutely wrong. Doesn't mean she's the new mayor she could do anything. She has no right to punch that sheriff. It can be dealt with with a nice way.

ReplyDeleteI think what she did was wrong, but the sheriff sure deserved it. He should have been more sensitive to the crisis the city was experiencing. He should have waited for 2 hours for the Mayor. Obviously, the demolition order was done without due diligence as there were raised issues of inconsistencies.
ReplyDeleteHe should have waited for the Mayor and respected her plea to wait for the TRO.
I will always have high respects for the Duterte’s and I salute you Mayor Sara for showing us how you value your people. Mas mabuti nang isang tao lang ang masapak nya kesa libo libong mamamayan ng DAVAO ang masugatan at mamatay.
pero i think if titignan at iintindihin mo tlg iyon pareho silang nagkamali at may ksalanan, so i think i still dont have the right to judge them...
The photo here shows her angelic side. I think it was fun to watch a woman punching a man in the face. I enjoyed the scene, but I think it was wrong. She should have controlled her temper. On the other side, the sheriff should have waited since the mayor is superior to him. It's up to the DoJ whether they would disbar her or not.
ReplyDeletethe thing she did was not right because it was a violation against the law. Sheriff Abe Andres was just doing his job. for as far as i know before people demolish a site the warn the people around it. it means the people in that area were already given the chance to evacuate. thats why Mayor Duterte did not have the right resist of to ask for an extension for the demolition.
ReplyDeleteI don't think na tama ang ginawa niya. Whatever her reason is(may it be good or bad), punching someone is a terrible and barbaric act. She must be careful with the way she acts because she's a vice mayor and she must be a good example to her people. All wrongdoings deserves to get a consequence in return. That is why I think, it's just right to disbar her. That would teach her a lesson. Think before you act, ika nga nila. :)
ReplyDeletePunching the sheriff, was wrong; no matter what the reason was. She should have just done something else to him, like yelling or something. She has a position in the government, and should be careful with her actions. If they are going to disbar her, then go ahead. The public doesn't need the service of people who don't have control over their emotions or actions.
ReplyDeletecant also blame the mayor, she was just trying to protect the people..as a mayor maybe she felt disrespected by the sheriff, remember she just simply ask for 2 hour extension to evacuate the people.
ReplyDeleteon the other side, the mistake of the mayor is that she shouldn't gave the sheriff a punch, she has to remember that she is a govt official and serve as a leader and model of a good and a right conduct.

for me what the mayor did was wrong because its like that she disrespect the sheriff pero dpat intindihin dn ng mayor ang side ng sheriff hnd ung susuntukin niya nlng ito... so i think dapat pagisipan lahat bago gumawa ng action...
ReplyDeleteIt was wrong by nature, punching the sheriff in public. A mayor should portray maximum patience and being calm in any situation. What happened was the mayor did it the other way around, instead of talking things out 'calmly' to end up in a peaceful resolve, she kept on punching the sheriff. Bad example in a government official.
ReplyDeletea mayor needs to set as an example to the people, because they voted and trusted her. punching a sheriff is very wrong, obviously. the department of justice should push through on disbarring her as a lawyer. she doesn't deserve being one.
ReplyDelete.for me..,the DOJ must push through in disbarring Mayor Duterte, since the act was absolutely not righteous..Basta nd tomo un!!!power must not win over righteousness.!!xD..anu daw???
ReplyDeleteWhat she did was not right, obviously. Because at times when people commit mistakes they are not immediately punished, and she did it in a very physical (non-professional) manner. Hurting others is really not right even our enemies we should love as God commands..nah
ReplyDeleteAbout disbarring her, i really do not know. But if lawyers take such an oath that they are not to harm physically people(because of certain reasons like this) or maintain good moral character so that they may not be disbarred then it is just just that she be disbarred.
Do you think what she did to the sheriff was right? Should the Department of Justice push through in disbarring her?
ReplyDeleteDo I think that what she did to the sheriff was right? My answer is No, but it is reasonable in my own opinion. No, Because it is not right to hurt any thing that breaths, especially that the sheriff is a human being and they have feelings and intellects, intellects that they both have especially they are both lawyers, I'm sure she has the intelligence to talk things through and settle it in diplomacy. As Secretary of the DILG Jesse M. Robredo said "She is both right and wrong..." Right, in the sense that she did protect that rights of the informal settlers and stood up for them, an act that few politicians do and wrong in the sense that she had lost her temper as a professional and a leader. She already stated that she is ready to face any case that will filed against her and that means she knows that punching a sheriff is wrong but at the end of the day it still her constituents who will cling up to her and support her all the way.
Yes, mali nga si mayor sara pero come to think of it, busy ka sa relief operations para sa mga kababayan mong nasalanta ng bagyo tapos mababalitaan mo na lang na may nasaktan sa demolition, in which naiwasan sana kung medyo inantay nya si mayor sara para mapakiusapan nya muna mga kababayan nya. Sana nadaan sa magandang usapan para hinde nasuntok si manong ni mayor hehehe.
ReplyDeletei think both of the parties ay may mali, siguro nga nadala lng si mayor sara sa kanyang emosyon, dahil nainsulto siya sa ginawa ng sherif but kahit gnun hindi parin dapat sya nanakit, ok na na nanalo ung mayor sa court, pero siguro ay dapat magbgay din sila ng considerasyon kng tatangalin man sya sa pagiging lawyer.. i hope sana both sides ay mghingi nlng ng kapatawaran
ReplyDeleteWhat she did was not right because she has no right to hurt anybody just because she's the mayor. In my own opinion, ang ginawa niya ay labag sa karapatan-pangtao.
ReplyDeleteSo I think, the Department of Justice can push through in disbarring her para hinde gayahin ng mga taong nasa mataas na posisyon, madali na lang sa kanilang manapak ng tao. Whatever the reason is, hindi ito sapat na dahilan to hurt a person especially in public places.
What she did was wrong, it doesn’t mean she’s a mayor she can do what she wants. I heard that she acknowledge that she was wrong. She was not able to control her temper. In my opinion she should be given a disciplinary action so that others will not do the same and should follow the law.
