THE word war rages on and this time, Davao City First District Rep. Prospero C. Nograles is taking to task Mayor Rodrigo R. Duterte for failing to submit an annual performance report so that Dabawenyos would know where their P3 billion annual budget went.
Mayor Duterte replied by saying that such an annual performance reports is not needed anymore as the people of Davao could pretty well see where their money goes.
"No need for a paper report. You can see it everywhere. Anyway I will send you one," was Duterte's reply to Nograles.
Nograles, however, insisted that Republic Act 6713, Code of Conduct & Ethical Standards for Public Officials, states that "every year a performance report should be made in writing and made public."
"Question, Davao City has P3 billion per year income. Has there ever been a yearly performance report on this? Congress has yearly report in its website and each congressman, including me, gives everyone a copy of his yearly performance report published," Nograles said.
Last Sunday, Duterte accused Nograles of not doing anything for Dabawenyos.
"Sa tinuod lang (the truth is) Boy, you never stood for the interest of Davao City. Kadtong dunay krisis dinhi, hain man ka (when there was crisis here, where were you)?" Duterte said.
Nograles, however, advised the mayor to ask barangay officials what help he had given them.
"Issue about helping Davao people? Ask, interview all barangay officials what help we have given to their people? Livelihood projects, Philhealth insurance, garbage environment vehicles, medicines and hospitalization at the Davao Medical Center, college scholarships with 3,000 college scholars in Usep and Ched, just to name a few. It's all in my yearly published performance report," Nograles said.
The Duterte-Nograles word war is now on its second week and Dabawenyos are already expressing their worry that the conflict might affect delivery of basic services. Mayor Duterte, however, assured Dabawenyos that for as long as he is the one running the City Government of Davao, services will continue as usual.
He said Nograles has nothing to do with running the city since the lawmaker is based in Metro Manila, in Congress, where his job is crafting laws and not running Davao City.

Mayor waives permit for Yuletide carolers
By Ben O. Tesiorna, Reporter
DAVAO is an open city for carolers, Mayor Rodrigo R. Duterte, as he scoffed at a law that requires carolers to get a permit from the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).
Duterte said that he would not impose such a 'stupid law.'
"We should celebrate Christmas as we conceived it to be. I will not impose that kind of stupid law. Let us celebrate Christmas with compassion for others," Duterte said.
The mayor said that just like in past Christmases, the city is open to all including the indigenous peoples who constantly troop to Davao City every holiday season.
Duterte also assured everybody that no one would go hungry this Christmas as the City Government of Davao will be feeding everyone.
That caroling cannot be done without a permit is an interpretation of the Solicitation Permit Law or Presidential Decree 1564, which provides that any person, corporation, organization or association desiring to solicit or receive contributions for charitable or public welfare purposes shall first secure a permit from the concerned regional offices of the DSWD.
The Solicitation Permit Law provides the penalty of imprisonment of not more than one year or a fine of not more than P1,000, or both, at the discretion of the court for soliciting donations or conducting fund drives without the proper permits.

Rody snaps back at NAPC for 'tomato seeds' aid
By Ben O. Tesiorna
AFTER being blamed by the National Anti-Poverty Commission over the suicide of 12-year-old Mariannet Amper, Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte snapped back, saying it is the national government that has failed to address poverty in the country.
In his "Gikan sa Masa, Para sa Masa" show Sunday, Duterte said the national government "does not really address poverty" contrary to its claims.
"Muhatag og seedling pero wala may yuta na katamnan (They give out seeds yet there's no land where they could be planted)," Duterte said.
The mayor said that NAPC, in response to news about Mariannet's suicide, sent over tomato seeds as their help for the family.
The mayor admitted being pissed by the NAPC's statement blaming the City Government of Davao for its failure to address poverty that allegedly contributed to Mariannet's suicide.
Latest development on the case showed though that Mariannet could have committed suicide not just because of poverty. Autopsy on the child's cadaver showed that she could have been raped.
Police authorities said they are looking into "incestuous rape".
Mayor Duterte meanwhile assured the public that "there would not be a closure on the case until the City Government is satisfied that it's really suicide."

No more cussing on Sunday tv
By Ben O. Tesiorna
ONE week after his tongue-lashing and cussing on his "Gikan sa Masa, Para sa Masa" program, a tamed Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte appeared on television Sunday with not a single cuss heard from him, save for the word "yawa" he uttered just once.
Even before the start of their taping of the show Saturday evening, Duterte already told his guest co-host, Leilani Alagcan, that they will "try to be decent."
Decent, indeed, the only time Duterte cussed by saying "yawa" is when he talked about Rep. Prospero Nograles. Other than that, the mayor readily censored himself whenever he feels like cussing.
The Duterte seen on TV last Sunday was entirely different from the Duterte two Sundays ago.
His assurance that he will be decent this time made the officials of ABS-CBN Davao who were present during the taping heave a sigh of relief.
The MTRCB earlier said that they would look into the culpability of the TV station that allowed the controversial segment of the block-time program sponsored by the City Government of Davao.
ABS-CBN also apologized to the viewers and promised to look into the matter.
Duterte, however, defended his actions by invoking his right to freedom of expression. The mayor said no amount of regulatory board could prevent him from exercising his right to free speech.
In the same program, Duterte dared Nograles to sit with him in his television program on Sunday so as to settle their conflict once and for all.
Duterte said Nograles could come early before their taping and discuss their problem.
"Kung gusto niya, anhi siya dinhi (If he wants to, he can come here)," Duterte said.
When asked if he is open for reconciliation with Nograles, Duterte, however, said reconciliation with the lawmaker would not be good for the city and the Dabawenyos.
"I could be civil to him but reconciliation on a personal basis, I think politically it is not good. Kasi if I reconcile with Nograles, wala nang magbabantay sa kanya. Mabuti na yung ganito kami, at least alam niya may nakatingin sa kanyang mga ginagawa," Duterte said. (No one will be watching him. At least this way, I'm here to watch over his activities.)
The mayor then denied that he is bullying the Dabawenyos as Nograles claimed. Duterte said the only people that he bullies are those that are doing nothing good for the people like drug pushers, kidnappers, murderers, and abusive people.
The mayor alleged Nograles has long been abusing his power and claiming projects that are not his. He revealed that the lawmaker has about P150 million from his countrywide development fund that could not be traced.
"Hain naman ang kwarta? Boy, hibaw-an nimo (Where's that money? Boy, you know very well), you never stood for the interest of Davao City. Kadtong duna tay mga crisis dinhi ciudad, asa man ka (When the city was in crisis, where were you)?" the mayor said.

‘Suicide’ of girl probed
By Romeo R. Braceros Jr.
MAYOR Rodrigo Duterte ordered authorities to conduct a deeper investigation on other possible reasons aside from poverty that may have driven 12-year-old Mariannet Amper to commit suicide.
Duterte made the order as he took note that the father of the girl, Isabelo, reported the death to barangay officials only on November 6, or four days after the incident, was suspicious.
The mayor also said instead of reporting it to the police, the family decided to go to the girl’s teacher first.
He said there was a big possibility that the victim killed herself not only because of poverty but other reasons as well.
This developed as an official of the Department of Education confirmed that some classmates claimed the girl revealed to them that she had a huge problem.
Jenelito Atillo, spokesperson of the agency, said the girl even told a classmate not to mention to her teacher that she had a problem that was hard to solve.
The P100 school fee that the girl was supposed to have asked her father, Atillo said, was for a project of the Parents Teachers Association for a television set. The school was not behind the project, he added.
Atillo explained that the girl’s father, Isabelo, who was the vice president of the organization of parents and teachers, was exempted from paying the contribution in exchange for his carpentry skills.
Duterte also questioned the refusal of the father of the victim to subject the body of the girl undergo autopsy to determine whether there was foul play.
Despite the refusal of the father, Duterte still ordered the police to conduct an autopsy on the corpse.
But the father explained that he refused to have the body of his child be subjected to autopsy because it was already buried and that it was improper to have it exhumed.
The girl’s death got media attention after it was reported that she left behind a diary and a letter to a television reality show about her “wishes.
It also prompted the Department of Social Welfare and Development national office to investigate the circumstances behind the incident.
