    Gusto ko sa kanya may palabra de honor, maasahan na gagawin mga binitiwan niyang salita. The rest of the politicians are empty promises, pangakong napapako.

    Duterte’s safe city

    Duterte’s safe city

    I visited Davao City last week and I was impressed. We’ve all heard of the “kill them” mayor; well, I met that mayor. A more down-to-earth person would be hard to find, and a more sincere person equally hard. Whether you agree with his ruthless approach to criminality or not, you can only be impressed with what he’s done for the city.

    We toured his emergency response station. I couldn’t believe I was in the Philippines. I mentioned how impressed (that word kept cropping up) I am with his new fire trucks. “Not new,” he said, “properly maintained.” Not only were they well-maintained, they were also well-equipped. Even helmets and fireproof clothing were on the seats waiting to be put on instantly for rapid response to a fire call.

    There was a pediatric ambulance just for mothers giving birth, which they can do in the ambulance if time runs out. It had an incubator, even cartoon paintings on the wall for a little comfort. It was a maternity hospital on wheels. The other ambulances were similarly well-equipped, and in perfect condition, not like the decrepit vans, inadequately converted and never maintained but emblazoned with the mayor’s name, you see elsewhere. Mayor Rodrigo Duterte’s name was nowhere to be seen, just the functions of the ambulance or emergency vehicle.

    There were rubber boats, fiberglass boats, even two amphibious vehicles, all carefully stored in working condition, ready for any emergency. Everything stored in a purpose-designed building. And throughout that building, everything was organized, tidily stored, ready for instant use. The only other place I’ve seen like it is my own workshop.

    We headed to the CCTV control center next door; it’s a world first jointly developed with IBM. I thought I was in one of those “CSI” series. There were two rooms full of screens depicting scenes on the roads of Davao from 1,300 CCTV cameras. These were cameras able to circle and zoom down to read a car’s plate number, cameras able to pick up an accident or a crime in full detail, even peek through the window into McDonalds to see what people are eating. “Impressive” is not a sufficient word—but be careful what you do in McDonalds.

    The emergency call center in the same building, like the CCTV monitoring, runs 24 hours. A call to 911 gets instant response. I tried it: Within three rings a girl answered, inquiring about the emergency. This at 1 a.m.

    The mayor says his central theme is “discipline”; everything revolves around that. He stands for no nonsense. Which brings us to the “Dirty Harry” (as this newspaper’s editorial referenced him) image. Certainly he doesn’t hesitate to talk tough. Does he do it, or at the least sanction it? I don’t know. Maybe it’s just a scare tactic, but Human Rights Watch accuses him of full complicity.

    In a civilized society, such action is reprehensible. But in a civilized society, the system of law works. In the Philippines, it very provably does not—as I’ve argued in many columns, to no effect, although the Chief Justice has promised reform. But she’s up against monumental problems and resistance. Criminals, even if they’re caught in the Philippines, get away with it. According to the International Freedom of Expression Exchange, 171 journalists have been killed since 1986, with only 16 convictions so far.

    It’s a difficult one, in a society where crime goes mostly unpunished. Duterte’s solution is drastic in the extreme and, in the wrong hands, could be massively abused, as we saw during martial law. But if you rely on an inutile legal system the society remains at risk from ruthless criminals. So what do you do? Do you stick to the democratic ideal, or accept that the reality calls for a different solution?

    And the reality is that crime flourishes in the Philippines, but doesn’t in Davao. It is now listed as the 12th safest city in the world, even outranking Tokyo, Dubai, Ottawa, Copenhagen and Reykjavik. Davao was given a crime index of 20.13. According to the Internet site Numbeo, which compiles crime statistics from more than 400 cities worldwide, “crime levels lower than 20 are very low, crime levels between 20 and 40 are low, crime levels between 40 and 60 are moderate and crime levels between 60 and 80 are considered high.” The next Philippine city is Cebu, ranked 236th, with a crime index of 48.88. Manila is ranked 359th, with a crime index of 67.78.

    In a letter to the editor, a visiting German rightly says: “You can’t apply Western ideas in the Philippines.” He adds: “Duterte makes no secret about what he thinks should be done with murderers and rapists. So every criminal knows what will happen if they cross the red line; they have been properly warned, and they have been given a fair chance to think twice before they make their choice.” Could this be the justification? Warning has been given.

    Aside from its impressive peace and order situation, Davao is also among the country’s most competitive local government units. The National Competitiveness Council (NCC) ranks Davao as the fourth most competitive city in the country, only behind Makati, Cagayan de Oro and Naga.

    Davao topped NCC’s Cities and Municipalities Competitiveness survey in terms of infrastructure (which covers subsectors such as health and education infrastructure and ICT connection); ranked 11th in economic dynamism (which includes jobs generated and the cost of doing business); and placed 13th in terms of government efficiency. The survey noted that Davao is the most transparent LGU in the country and the most active in terms of promoting investments. The NCC also recognized the city for its compliance to national directives to LGUs and efficient tax collection.

    I used to run a factory in Davao back in the late 1970s. It’s a different city today, one that works—in safety.

    DUTERTE SAYS HE WOULD REVIVE DEATH PENALTY
    June 06, 2015 04:39am

    DAVAO CITY---Mayor Rodrigo Duterte, being touted as a presidential candidate next year, batted for a return of the death penalty for heinous crimes, saying executing hardened criminals can be an effective deterrent to criminality.
    According to the tough-talking mayor, if he would become President, he would also enforce a nationwide smoking ban and a ban on serving alcoholic drinks in bars or restaurants after midnight.
    Defending the need for death penalty Duterte said extreme measures are needed against heinous crimes, which have been on the rise in the country.
    "If I were President, I would bring back the death penalty for crimes like drugs, rape, and kidnapping," he said.
    Duterte has been batting for the re-imposition of the death penalty for years now.
    Senator Vicente Sotto III recently filed a bill that aims to bring back the death penalty for heinous crimes.

    Sotto's bill remains pending at the Senate.

    Duterte said he agrees with the execution of hardened criminals because "crime makes life miserable for law-abiding citizens."
    Aside from bringing back the capital punishment, Duterte said he would duplicate the successful smoking ban in this city nationwide.
    While alcoholic drinks would be permitted, establishments would be barred from serving these after midnight, he said.

    No overspeeding

    Also if he becomes President, Duterte said there would be no more overspeeding.
    In this city, vehicles are not allowed to travel past 30 kilometers per hour in the downtown area.
    But Duterte refuse to be categorical about whether he is running for President.
    "I am still talking to some people about this. You will know soon," he said.

    'Dollar for the presidency'

    Duterte supporters in the United States have started raising funds for his possible campaign, according to former North Cotabato Governor Emmanuel Pinol.
    Pinol said Filipino-Americans started a group and launched the "dollar for the presidency" campaign for Duterte.
    He said Manny Pacquiao's Los Angeles-based publicist and sportswriter, Winchell Campos, acts as coordinator of the movement in the United States.
    "Many Filipinos in the US believe that the style of leadership and incorruptibility of Rody Duterte is what our country needs to bring back the days of glory," Pinol quoted Campos as saying.
    "We hope that under his presidency, all bright and talented Filipinos now working overseas would be given the opportunity to come home and help rebuild the Philippines," he quoted Campos as saying.
    Pinol said Campos' group will go around Filipino communities in the US to solicit support and financial donations.
    Pinol said real estate businesswoman Charlotte Macasarte has also gathered the Filipino-American business community in the Bay Area to help support the movement. Allan Nawal and Karlos Manlupig, Inquirer Mindanao

    COA QUESTIONS DUTERTE'S 11,000 CONTRACTUAL WORKERS

    MANILA, Philippines – State auditors are questioning Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte’s hiring of 11,246 contractual workers in 2014, which cost the city government P708 million.

    Doubting the necessity and regularity of 4,754 job orders – all for the city mayor’s office – the Commission on Audit (COA) pointed out that Davao’s lack of clear policy in hiring people fosters patronage.

    “The city has no written policy or manual on the hiring of employees particularly under contract of services and job orders. Identification of persons to be hired for such nature rests directly upon the recommendation of the department heads and other officials of the city,” COA noted.

    Auditors found that of the 14,499 person on the city government’s payroll, only 3,253 hold regular positions. They get their salaries from the city’s personal services budget.

    The 6,081 contractual employees and 5,165 job orders were paid from the maintenance and other operating expenses budget.

    COA was also concerned that there were no documents to prove that the non-regulars were actually rendering work. Those assigned to Barangay Cultural Communities and Affairs Division, the city councilors’ offices, and those reporting to barangay chairpersons didn’t have daily time records or attendance logs when doing filed work. Their functions and duties were not specified in their contracts.

    “These conditions cast doubt that entries in the daily time record of these employees…are manipulated, thus regularity and validity of the related expenditures could not be ascertained,” the COA report said.

    Auditors also noted that some of the contractual employees had been working in the city government for more than a decade, but had not been offered regular posts.

    In response to the COA report, Davao City’s Human Resource Management Office said it will formulate a set of guidelines for the hiring of contractual and job order personnel. – Rappler.com

    Duterte backs subsidies for mass transit systems - Inquirer
    June 16th, 2015

    DAVAO CITY, Philippines. Mayor Rodrigo Duterte said subsidizing mass transport would greatly help the country's bleeding economy.

    He made the statement a day after the Metro Railway Transit bogged down anew, forcing passengers to walk on the railway on Monday night.

    "We would like our workers to be productive, but how could they be productive when they come to work late and tired because of the jostling to get a ride, not to mention the fact that a huge chunk of their daily earnings go to their transportation fare," Duterte, in a press release, said.

    The tough-talking mayor said that providing subsidized mass transport system would catalyze national economic growth as it would increase productivity among the working force.
    "Government must really shoulder part of the transport cost of ordinary wage earners and office workers to ensure equitable and inclusive human development in the city," Duterte said.
    I disagree. The government should increase train fares so the money can be spent on better trains and raising the salaries of the MRT employees.

    Meron na pala F-16s ang Philippine more air than force?

    Buying F-16 fighter jets a mistake, says Duterte

    DAVAO CITY, Philippines—Mayor Rodrigo Duterte said the government committed a “blunder” when it bought two used F-16 fighter jets because these would not be of much help in securing the country against aggressors like China.

    “The decision to buy two F-16s is really a blunder. How would it help?” he said.

    He said the F-16s were multirole jet fighters built in 1976 and were no match for China’s air power.

    He said the government should have bought gunboats instead because these “are fast and mobile and can be deployed everywhere.”

    “Gunboats have firepower too,” he added.

    The Armed Forces of the Philippines has said it has acquired two F-16Vs as part of its modernization plans.

    Philippine Air Force pilots who trained on the Korean-made FA-50s will be able to fly the F-16s, described as the latest in its class, beginning next year.

    Even with the effort to modernize the military, Duterte said the Philippines cannot go to war with China over disputed territories in the South China Sea.

    “We cannot go to war, we cannot fight China,” he said.

    He said there was a better chance of resolving the escalating conflict through diplomacy.

    He reiterated his earlier statement that the United States could not be relied upon to defend the Philippines if an armed confrontation developed with China.

    “America will not die for us,” Duterte said, pointing out the US did not lift a finger when China was building structures recently on the disputed islands.

    “Now they’re there. [The US] allowed them to be finished,” he said.

    Many modern developed countries subsidize mass transportation to fuel economic growth.
