DAVAO CITY - July 1, 2011 in the midst of the calamity came in the City, Sara Duterte, Mayor of Davao City, got frustrated to a sheriff.

Mayor Duterte says that "everything's gonna go smoothly" because the day after that incident happened, Mayor Duterte together with the City Housing, the residents of the property and the owner of the property sat down and talked. But the day after it, Mayor Duterte called the Sheriff-in-charge of the demolition to please wait for at least two hours because she was on the relief operations and she cant manage to go to the demolition site and ask the residents to calm down. Thus, the sheriff didn't comply and instead, he did the demolition. So when she arrived in the area, a riot has been started and one police has been sent to the hospital due to the incident. As cited on a video coverage of a TV Network, a police stated that "everything's gonna go smoothly, but the sheriff's stubborn and succeeded the demolition." that's when Mayor Sara got frustrated and started to look for the sheriff, after a minute, policemen approached Mayor Sara with them is the sheriff. Then out of frustration, Mayor Sara punched the sheriff two times and started to confront him.

After the incident, she sent the sheriff to the hospital, that serves as sorry for Mayor Sara's part. Instead, she apologized to the people who was hurt in the riot. Afterwhich, the sheriff says that he's okay despite of what Mayor Duterte did to him. He didn't even get himself an admission to the hospital as recommended by Mayor Duterte. Thus, he even stated that he's okay despite of his injury.

My stand on this incident is that, I am in the side of Mayor Duterte, it is because what she did is for the people, though, she acted barbaric, yet it is justifiable. I am not saying that her act is good, but my point is, why did the sheriff disobey or granted that request of the mayor? Did he wanted to be approached violently just like what happened to him? He is to blame for the riot. Well, that's a fact.
