I went foruming kaniha doon sa PEX (Pinoy Exchange Forums), the last time I logged in there was like a month ago or so. Anyway, una kong binisitahan yung forum nila para sa mga News & Current Affairs. I went from thread to thread, actually, it was fun. I even landed on a thread about the punching incident involving the Mayor of Davao & a court sheriff which took place last July 1. (pasensya na lang if I'm talking about politics here for those readers who didn't expect it to be one of my posts) Anyway, eto nga yung take ko sa issue na yun eh, generally, mali silang dalawa, first off, doon sa sheriff, he didn't follow the mayor's orders which were done for humanitarian reasons and he even violated the 30-day grace period (this is the time where the residents who are asked to leave the area are given time to move out of the place or something before demolition comes) 'coz he served the order before the 30-day grace period ended. The only thing wrong w/ what the mayor did though was dahil nanapak siya. Going deeper to this issue, I don't think Mayor Duterte should be kicked out of office, get suspended or be disbarred. Siguro, her sanction should just be a reprimandation from DILG. Bakit? Hindi naman masyadong malaki yung kasalanan n'ya eh, sure she punched the sheriff but guess what? Instead of leaving him behind to suffer in pain due to the injuries, she had him sent to the hospital upang ma.gamot yung mga sugat na natamo n'ya which were just minor injuries so not much of a big deal naman eh. Second, yung pag.dirty finger ng Vice Mayor ng Davao, (who is also the Mayor's father) CHR made a big deal about it as if it was just as worse as Maguindanao Massacre or those other cases of extrajudicial killings. Dirty Finger lang yun, not much of a big deal at pasalamat nga kayo at na blurred yun sa TV. If DILG were to sanction the Vice Mayor of Davao because of this, sana reprimandation lang rin yung maging sanction n'ya. Yung ibang OA kasi na mga tao diyan, they keep on looking at the negative side of the Dutertes, may positive side naman sila eh, kung hindi dahil sa kanila, multinational companies might not open offices in Davao pero see, they had the confidence to open offices in Davao which is in Mindanao even though some people think Mindanao is dangerous and this is also one of the things which made Philippines more progressive. Yung disbarment, I think IBP shouldn't file that case on the Mayor of Davao since she wasn't practicing law at that time the incident happened. In conclusion, if the Mayor & Vice Mayor of Davao were to be sanctioned, reprimandation is the most appropriate sanction for them and at least their mayor cares about the people unlike those other TRAPOs there who practice "pakitang-tao" to win people's votes during the elections and in the middle of their term, they seem to do nothing.
Note: Hindi ako taga Davao but I am still from Mindanao. (hindi ko na sasabihin kung saan mismo basta nasa Mindanao) Hindi naman bawal mag.support sa kakapwa mo, diba? Sorry kung medyo late na ako nag-post about this issue. Busy kasi ako for the past few days.
Anyway, on the other side, PEX related pa rin ha. I dropped by the Britney Spears Official Thread on PEX and yup, may over 10+ official threads na si Britney doon. Talk about how famous Britney is. In fact, her thread is so trending that it's always on the front page of the Fanpage Fiesta threads and it's part of the top 10 most visited threads in Fanpage Fiesta. BTW, nakapagboto na ba kayo for Britney sa VMAs at TCAs? Kung hindi pa, start voting na! Ngayong July 26 na pala ang Repurchase Week ng Blackout kaya buy your copies of Blackout and lets make it #1 on Billboard Top 200! Britney Spears FTW! Blackout FTW!
