According to Cardema, Duterte, former mayor of Davao City, was very adept at organizing responses to floods, typhoons, crime and even terrorism.
“If you want an emergency, in deploying a weapon or an emergency in a situation where you can become a human being, maybe you can get manpower/tauhan in the community, that manpower/tauhan can be diverted to the pag-akay/pagprotekta me, pagpayong sa ulan, pagtulak sa bangka, and pagsigurado na hindi dumugin ng mga nakakaawang kababayan natin yung namumulitika sa panahon ng kaguluhan,” Cardema said.
“Kelangan pa antayin mag makeup is a pulitiko, handaan ng damit na isusuot pangbaha, pati mga photographer at taga video na hahanapan ng mga bangka para mahabol nila en magandang angulo yung pulitiko sa baha at pag over tulong. Hindi sanay sa ganyang traditional politics (Trapo) ang ating dating Davao City Mayor,” she added.
