Pulong to update ‘old’ legislations

By NEILWIN JOSEPH L. BRAVO
Re-elected Vice Mayor Paolo Duterte yesterday said he will update local ordinances in order to meet the growing needs of Davao City attuned with the demands of contemporary times.
The younger Duterte, son of President-in-waiting Rodrigo Duterte, was elected to a second term as Vice Mayor. He ran unopposed.
“I have come to my second term as Vice Mayor of Davao City and I thank all of you for putting your trust in me to lead the Legislative Body of our City,” Paolo said in a statement sent to EDGE Davao.
Paolo said his major concern is to review legislations and make them responsive and relevant.
“I am resolved to update legislations which are outdated and make sure that new ordinances will meet the growing needs of the City,” he said.
Paolo’s younger sister Inday Sara Duterte, her father’s replacement after the latter decided to run for President, was also elected Mayor by a landslide.
Paolo paid tribute to the electorate for the fresh mandate.
“I am deeply indebted to all of you in the fresh mandate you have given and I will repay you with more determination and hardwork in the years to come. We will do this together,” Paolo said.
