Mayor Rodrigo Duterte gave this assurance in a speech read on his behalf by Vice Mayor Luis Bonguyan during the Media in Society Conference here last Saturday.


"While some of your colleagues have discreetly pointed a finger at me on the current controversial issue that took place three weeks ago, let me, once and for all, assure you that Davao City is safe for journalists," he said.

                    [Summary] => DAVAO CITY — The distributor of the expired imported chocolate bars and fruit jellies that downed close to 500 schoolchildren here last Wednesday is facing investigation following reports that the damaged products were actually found in a garbage dump near his warehouse.


Jude Gotamco, proprietor of Composite Enterprises Inc., surfaced at the office of Vice Mayor Luis Bonguyan last Friday, and admitted he was the distributor of the expired imported sweets.


Gotamco, according to Bonguyan, expressed his willingness to be investigated on the incident.

A fuming Mayor Rodrigo Duterte issued this order upon returning from a trip to Manila Wednesday night when he learned that over 500 schoolchildren were downed by expired imported candies sold by enterprising garbage collectors.


"Those caught (selling expired candies) will be charged, prosecuted and shot dead if they insist on doing so," he said.


Duterte, however, later clarified that his "shoot-to-kill" order was just a figure of speech to emphasize the seriousness of the problem.

Vice Mayor Luis Bonguyan said the children apparently could not resist the candies because the garbage collectors sold them at P2 apiece.


The affected pupils come from schools in Barangays Sasa, Bunawan, Buhangin, Ma-a, Mintal, Tugbok and Magallanes. — Edith Regalado
