SOCIAL media and traditional media circles are abuzz with talks that Davao City Councilor Danilo C. Dayanghirang is being eyed as the next commissioner of the Bureau of Customs.
Dr. Dayanghirang himself confirmed yesterday that surprisingly he had received many text messages and calls congratulating him or verifying the truth of the talks.
Speaking before newsmen attending the weekly Kapehan sa Dabaw media forum at the SM Annex yesterday morning, the veteran city lawmaker said in jest that “the talks come from either people who hate incumbent BOC Commissioner Nick Faeldon that they want him fired, or people who want to make my life complicated by throwing me into a veritable snake pit, or a lion’s den such as the customs bureau.”
“The truth is that is there is no offer for me to take the job,” he said.
Turning serious, Dayanghirang said “however, if it’s a call of duty for the country, it’s okay for me.”
“I am amused yet humbled by the queries especially by media members if the talks are true,” he said, adding that “maybe there are people who want to float my name in order to measure the reactions of the public.”
“Really, I am an elected councilor and I am focused on this mandate, however if there is a serious offer I would not run away from any national position if it is for the best interest of the country,” Dayanghirang said.
He said that he was at the disposal of the Duterte Team, meaning the President, Mayor Inday Sara Carpio and Vice Mayor Pulong Duterte .
Being with the team for a long time now, Dayanghirang said he knows by heart the philosophy and values behind the Duterte brand of governance which are hard work, discipline and result-oriented.
