Duterte, magre-resign!
NAGBANTA ANG PANGULONG Duterte na magbibitiw sa puwesto kung itutuloy ng anak nitong si Congressman-elect Paolo ‘Pulong’ Duterte na tumakbo bilang House Speaker.
Nakarating sa Pangulo ang balitang may naguudyok sa kanyang anak na puntiryahin ang posisyon ng pagiging Speaker of the House of Representatives kung kaya’t agad itong nababala kay Paolo.
“Itong si Paolo, sabihin ko sa kanya, if you run for speakership let me know. Kasi kung tatakbo ka, magre-resign ako kasi marami na tayo, nandiyan yun kapatid mong mayor (Sara Duterte) tapos ah, what if someone is also uneasy about it.”
“I believe in democratic practice…but then again the Vice Mayor(-elect) (Sebastian) anak ko yun; and Pulong as Speaker, ako ang Presidente eh hindi na maganda yun, so if you will insist…that’s your own life to live. If you insist on running, maniwala ka sa mga advisers mo, go ahead let me know three days in advance before you make the announcement and I will tender my resignation,” ani Duterte.
Itinanggi naman ni Paolo na may balak itong maging House Speaker at sa kanyang Facebook page ay ito ang kanyang isinulat: Puede ba tubag ani?: PULONG TO PRESIDENT DUTERTE: I DID NOT SAY I WANT TO BE SPEAKER....may nagkamali na naman bulong sa tenga mo Mr. President.”
Noon ay pinalagan rin umano ni Duterte ang suhestiyon na pagtakbo ni Paolo bilang mayor sa Davao at ang nakakatandang kapatid nito na si Sara ang siyang kumandidato at nagwagi.
Si Sara ay nagsilbing vice mayor ni Duterte noong 2007 hanggang 2010 at mayor hanggang sa kasalukuyan. May ambisyon rin diumano si Sara na maging Pangulo sa pagtatapos ng termino ng kanyang ama. (Mindanao Examiner)

Duterte son Paolo calls for an investigation into ‘Bikoy’ confession
DAVAO CITY – Presidential son Paolo Duterte has called for an investigation into the admission of self-confessed member of a drug syndicate, Peter Joemel Advincula, who linked the opposition to a plot to unseat his father and install Vice President Leni Robredo as president and Senator Antonio Trillanes as vice president.
Advincula, who claimed to be “Bikoy,” the hooded man in the viral videos “Ang Totoong Narcolist,” surrendered to the police Thursday and said all the accusations in the videos were all lies and that he was promised P500,000 by his recruiter to malign Duterte and his family, but he had not been paid.
He now accused Trillanes and Senator Risa Hontiveros and the Liberal Party, among others, as allegedly behind the videos as part of a campaign to oust Duterte.
Paolo, in his Facebook page, said: “From the very start, it was clear that the Bikoy videos were fabricated with a narrative taken straight from the playbook of people whose desire is to destroy our name and our reputation. All the lies presented were also meant to crush the trust of the Filipino people in the authorities and inspire public disgust against the government — truly the handiwork of people who want to undermine the Duterte administration.”
“Without a doubt, as I have said before, Senator Antonio Trillanes was behind it. And now that many names have also surfaced, to include Sen. Risa Hontiveros and several lawyers, I believe a proper investigation is in order,” said Paolo, who was elected congressman in Davao City in the recently concluded midterm elections.
Prior to his surrendered on May 23, Advincula issued a statement at the office of the Integrated Bar of the Philippines reiterating his accusations against Duterte, including Paolo and close aide Bong Go, who denied all the allegations against them.
Trillanes strongly denied Advincula’s allegations and said he would file charges against Advincula. “I deny the allegations made by this Bikoy character. This could be another ploy to harass the opposition. For now, I will be consulting with my lawyers so that we could also file the appropriate charges against him,” Trillanes said.
The Liberal Party also denied Advincula’s accusations. (Mindanao Examiner)

Mayor Sara hails Dabawenyos for favoring 12 HNP Senate bets
DAVAO CITY -- Mayor Sara Z. Duterte has hailed Dabawenyos for their straight vote for 12 Senate candidates backed by her political party, the Hugpong ng Pagbabago (HNP), a first in this city’s history. “I have said that I feel alone every day, stressing over making sure Davao City is okay but when I am in distress, Dabawenyos carry me on their backs,” she said in her Instagram message on Wednesday.
“Sa tanan kalisod, baha, bagyo ug kani nga election sa senador wala gyud ko ninyo gibiyaan (In all the challenges, flooding, storm and this election for senators, you never left me),” Sara said, admitting she was emotional when writing her message.
Sara was the campaign manager of HNP, the regional party she formed along with the four Davao Region governors – Claude Bautista of Davao Occidental, Jayvee Tyron Uy of Compostela Valley, Anthony del Rosario of Davao del Norte, and Nelson Dayanghirang of Davao Oriental. She went campaigning with the HNP-backed candidates all throughout the 90-day election period.
The mayor said she is humbled by the results of the May 13 elections as she quoted Luke 12:48: “For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required”. She admitted to have cried when she learned that Davao City delivered a 12-0 vote for the senatorial candidates of the HNP. “The tears flowed and the sobbing followed,” she said. “Daghang salamat sa inyong tanan (Thank you very much to all of you),” the mayor said, vowing to work harder “until I break.”
In the final election count in Davao City, Dabawenyos voted for Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go (533,550); Ronald dela Rosa (518,778); Pia Cayetano (448,599); Cynthia Villar (445,757); Francis Tolentino (400,297); Sonny Angara (384,773); Imee Marcos (367,008); JV Ejercito (322,773); Koko Pimentel (297,452); Dong Mangudadatu (297,338); Bong Revilla (239,899); and Jinggoy Estrada (225,217). In the 13th, 14th and 15th ranks are Grace Poe (207,861); Lito Lapid (172,055); and Jiggy Manicad (166,454), respectively.
Meanwhile, the three Dutertes – Sara for mayor, Sebastian “Baste” for vice mayor, and Paolo for first district congressional representative, were proclaimed poll winners around 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday along with the first district city councilors. All three were not around and were represented by HNP lawyers Eduardo Legaspina and Warren Leong. Sara garnered 580,440 votes against independent candidate Marcelino Marcellones' 4,270. Unopposed for vice mayor, Sebastian got 558,128 votes. Paolo won with total votes of 197,370 over Susan Uyanguren with 5,135 votes and Rex Labis with 2,124 votes.
In a statement, Paolo thanked the people of the first district for choosing him to be their representative in Congress. “I am truly humbled and at the same time, honored by your trust and support to me,” he said. He also thanked the volunteers, friends, and family for their dedication and hard work during the campaign.
Paolo vowed to be not only the voice and strength of his constituents in the House of Representatives but also a strong supporter of President Rodrigo Duterte in achieving his vision for the country. On the other hand, the Top 10 party-list groups that received the most votes from Dabawenyos are: PBA (123,211); Dumper PTDA (66,756); Marino (52,242); ACT-CIS (48,962); Duterte Youth (18,526); RAM (12,072); Bayan Muna (9,767); Coop NATCCO (8,858); Senior Citizens (8,845); and 1Pacman (7,040).

Respected Sulu leader to run for governor, others join midterm polls
A PHILANTHROPIST and respected political leader in Sulu province, Dr. Sakur Tan - also known as Datu Shahbandar – has returned from a hiatus to run as governor in the midterm elections.
Tan, who served as governor several times and vice governor of Sulu, after winning elections impressively, now takes on a new role to lead the province into a more progressive and peaceful place for his constituents.
The Tan patriarch, a strong ally of President Rodrigo Duterte, filed his certificate of candidacy on October 17 along with his sons - incumbent governor Toto Tan who is running for vice governor, and Samier Tan, who is seeking a congressional seat and be able - if he wins - to craft laws that would be beneficial to both Muslims and Christians, and other indigenous groups in the country as well.
A large crowd of supporters gathered outside the Commission on Elections in Patikul town just to see Tan and his group - his official line up for the elections - and wished them the best in the polls. Team Tan and his slate are expected - like in previous elections - to win because of their untarnished records, dedication to serve the public and the respect and strong support they get from the locals.
Tan vowed to continue the programs and projects and many accomplishments of the incumbent governor. “I will continue the many provincial government programs and projects such as in the field of education, health and livelihood, infrastructure, fisheries and agriculture and more support structures to ensure the success of all these,” he said.
Under the present administration of his son, peace and order has further improved as compared to the last two decades and business activities have drastically increased and hasten the flow of trade between Sulu and other provinces resulting to better economy.
The Tan patriarch had set a strong foundation of good governance and “true public service” during his time compared to the past administrations of Benjamin Loong and Yusop Jikiri. And both politicians had tried to make a comeback in previous elections, but had been rejected by the people many times over, and so with other politicians who have only personal and vested interests.
In Davao City, incumbent Mayor Sara Duterte is also seeking re-election with brother Sebastian as her vice mayor, and another sibling, Paolo, running for a seat in the House of Representatives.
Governor Mujiv Hataman, of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, is running for Congress to represent his province, Basilan; and his wife, Djalia, who was former Anak Mindanao party-list representative, is also seeking the mayoralty post in Isabela City, also in Basilan.
In Zamboanga City, Mayor Beng Climaco, is also seeking re-election with Council member Rommel Agan as her vice mayor. Agan’s father, Vitaliano, also served as mayor of Zamboanga. (Mindanao Examiner)
