DAVAO CITY, Philippines - Like father, like son.
A son of Davao City Vice-Mayor Rodrigo Duterte defied criticisms aimed at his sister, Mayor Sara Duterte, for punching a court sheriff last Friday.
Councilor Paul Duterte, president of the city's league of barangays, also flashed a dirty finger in front of journalists when asked about his reactions to his father's stand on the issue.
"Nia pa oh (Here's more)," he said.
He immediately walked away after flashing the dirty finger.
His father on Monday flashed the dirty finger and cussed at critics of his daughter Sara.
"Ano? Mga columnist? Oh! (shows dirty finger) ta#@n*a (expletive), hindi lang sampal ang inabot noon. (Expletive), you wage a battle against your own people using policemen?" he said.
The city's 30 barangay captains went to Councilor Duterte's office to express support for the mayor.
"We take the side of the poor and oppressed. We are always at her side. Expect the worst," said Barangay 28-C chief Sheena Duazo.
Meanwhile, the Davao chapter of the Sheriffs Confederation of the Philippines expressed dismay at the decision of court sheriff Abe Andres on not filing a case against Mayor Duterte.
"Hurt kami sa nangyari kay Andres, pero nirerespeto namin disisyon ni Andres. Hihintayin nalang namin ang hakbang ng national," said chapter president Sergio Tupaz. - Report from Francis Magbanua, ABS-CBN News Southern Mindanao
