Statement of Davao City 1st District Rep. Paolo Z. Duterte.
This so-called people’s initiatives for charter change is nothing but pure PI.
I was informed that PBA Partylist Rep. Margarita “Migs” Nograles is spearheading the PI movement in Davao City.
I am against this people’s initiative as this is not the people’s voice but the voice of a few who wanted to perpetuate themselves in power.
I also would like to inform all Dabawenyos, most especially in my district, that the House leadership has taken out P2 billion from your NEP budget for the district and left only a measly P500 million for Dabawenyos this year.
To all congressmen ganging up on us, do not give me that kind of BS because I will not starve to death if you take my budget away. Ang kawawa is yung mga Dabawenyos na bumoto kay PBBM.
I also heard from reliable sources that even the senators are explicitly requested to refrain from putting projects in my district.
Hindi ako luluhod sa inyo para mabigyan ng proyekto lalo na at may 30% pang kinukuha ang isang pekeng Panginoon…Again, ang kawawa ay ang mahal kong mga Dabawenyo.
I have kept my silence all through these months since I do not want my constituents to suffer from the dirty politics in the House of Representatives.
To all Dabawenyos, do not sell your soul for a mere P100 or 10,000 in exchange for your signature. If you want to follow the MINIONS of the person DREAMING TO BE GREAT in Congress to perdition that is your choice.
