President Rodrigo Duterte said today he doesn’t need another Davao Death Squad or DDS because anyway, he already has the Philippine National Police.
Below is an excerpt of his interview today.
Notice that he did not deny what retired Senior Police Officer 3 Arturo Lascañas said in the Senate hearing.
Let’s all wait for the Department of Interpretation and Clarification to step in and smooth over the President’s words once again.
UPDATE: @Khaikee suggests the new department be renamed – the Department of Interpretation, Clarification and Knowledge or DICK, for short. What do you think, mga hindi ka-DDS?
Meanwhile, you gotta read this:
Q: Sir, you mentioned the DDS earlier, so sir in your knowledge of it, sino ‘yung creator ng DDS?
PRESIDENT DUTERTE: You should ask Jun Ledesma. He’s a journalist in Davao. He would give you the history of ‘yung… well… Ayaw ko ‘yung to sound apologetic. You just ask him. He’s a kolumnista sa Sun Star Davao. He would give the right person because he was part of it actually.
Q: Sir, sabi ni Lascañas that you were the one who created the DDS?
PRESIDENT DUTERTE: I need not do that. Hindi na kailangan. I did not create an air force, I have an Air Force. I will not create a DDS, may police department ako.
Q: Sir, si Lascañas ang sabi nagbigay daw kayo para sa [ano ‘yun?] pang-dialysis, pang kidney transplant?
PRESIDENT DUTERTE: I don’t know, I don’t know. But we have a Lingap sa Mahirap sa Davao.

PACQUIAO-AMIR KHAN BOXING BOUT CANCELLED!
Bad news for Pacquiao whose legal bills is mounting on the on-going Pacquiao-Mayweather class action lawsuit.
Amir Khan spelled backward sounds karma for Pacquiao.
And it’s only the beginning.
The passage of the death penalty is nothing but a blatant attempt of the Duterte administration to sanitize the widespread extra-judicial killings.
It should be noted that the newly passed death penalty law applies only to drug-related crimes, and does not include any of the other heinous crimes like murder, rape, kidnapping, plunder and the likes.
Now Duterte can effectively suppress the strong opposition to the EJK by pointing out that drug criminals will be sentenced to death anyway so there would be nothing wrong to short-circuiting the criminal justice system.
at one stage, I really think the object of the death penalty is de lima. with her trumped up drug charges, she would be made 1st to taste the death penalty. but citizens of our country will save her. god will save her. we will save her.
A source who has had first hand contact with De Lima told me that a simple lifestyle on her will disprove that she has any involvement, directly or indirectly, with any kind of drug dealing.
The drug charges against her is nothing but political payback for her persistent investigations into allegations of EJK and criticisms of Duterte .
Correction: ‘a simple lifestyle’ should read as ‘a simple lifestyle check’
payback…yes.
and that is intensified by ate glow.
her support to bduts is glaring.
her acquittal and de5’s arrest.
it is the last laugh for her.
what a turn of events.
Thank you very much Raïssa for giving prominence to my first comment on Cyber Plaza Miranda about the despicable dickheads in government. I’ve been reading your blog religiously for so many years already but it is only now that I am coming out so I can vent my anger over how our murderous and savage president, together with his minions, is running our government.
As a namer and brander, I like your suggestion. Allow me to add that whoever is appointed as head of the DICK must be call SICK which is the acronym of Secretary of Interpretation, Clarification and Knowledge. The word KNOWLEDGE can be changed to KNOWINGNESS which is less positive than the former. It is defined as “shrewdness demonstrated by knowledge”. The ‘shrewdness’ for me has the negativity congruent with Interpretation and Clarification.
Big thumbs up!
For sure Paquiao is the correct person for that position……He is wearing a smart watch…… :-)
i nominate paquiao as SICK.
It was so clear that House Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez stated that those who will vote against the death penalty will be strip of their respective position.
One of those who voted against is Con. Gloria Arroyo. But it seems speaker Alvarez has eat his words
ang bark ni alvarez is worst than his bite, all words and no action yata siya. there were around 44 contra death penalty, he would have to fire them all, and then replace them. the 44 would just have to re-apply for their jobs, methink.
pantaleon alvarez is not wearing pantalon, he’s wearing grass skirts! dancing to digong’s tune.
aha! just as I thought: magkaruon ng 2nd life ang dance instructor baga. he resurrected from the dead, take up his bed and walk out of laud quarry. really, there is life after death, he, he, he. thank the lord!
now, dance instructor had to pole dance to show na he still have what it takes and shake his booties and hooties!
Mark Castro is the name of thedance instructor that get killed. From matina village ph2 davao. The DI that appeared in FB is not Mark but a certain Baguio
thanks , liv. usurper pala itong si baguio.
Ang baho ng amoy ng senado.
ang sabi: “utot mo!” hahaha
Lol
He is fooling most of the fiiipinos. The senate like lacson, sottyo ,gordon, pacqiao, cayetano are blind of duterte dds
Minana lang nya? During the early 80’s the Urban Guerilla Unit of the NPA or the ABB Sparrow Unit was the death squad which killed at least one policemen everyday in Davao City. They were repelled by another anti-communist death squad called Alsa Masa which was organized by police chief Franco Calida (yes, brother of the SolGen) and Jun Pala. Then there was a lull until Digong’s Davao Death Squad was born more than 20 years ago and has since then become a killing epidemic affecting the country.
Brother ba talaga si Franco Calida ni SolGen Calida?
Yes Raïssa. Franco became mayor of a municipality somewhere in Davao Del Sur.
Former Davao Police Chief Col. Franco M. Calida became mayor of Hagonoy, Davao del Sur.
Franco and Jose are brothers?
i was told they’re half brothers.
I see.
Thanks.
magkaiba ang kanilang middlename. maybe iba ang kanilang ina sa iisang tatay
Jose “Jun” Callangan Calida
Mayor Franco Magno Calida of Hagonoy town, Davao del Sur
More on Franco Calida on this article from way back in 1987:

Yes, they are brothers.
Gloria, Vilma, Imelda vote against death penalty
Noong matunugan na gustong ipabago at isama ni Du30 ang PLUNDER, eh biglang natakot ang mga ito.
Gloria and Imelda are known plunderers and have been battling cases for many now.
Pero si Ate Vi eh alam na plunderer din sila ni Kuya Ralphy aya takot silang mabitat kapag hindi sila naging friendly sa sinumang administrasyon.
Self-preservation lang yan!
Parekoy

si ate glow ang magaling.
alam naman niyang matatalo ang mga cons.
kaya no siya sa drugs death bill.
para hindi halatang gustung-gusto niya ang yes.
bumulong pa ito: akin ang huling halakhak de5.
tapos ka na.
I love the Department of Interpretation and Clarification. I would suggest we add “Knowledge” they being the only ones who know what they mean. Department of Interpretation, Clarification and Knowledge (DICK). With Abella and Panelo as HEADs.
dick the dept should also have a reference book so people can check and be on the same page as them dickers. dyahi naman kung ipauubaya natin sa kanila ang lahat na interpretations like they have monopoly.
tauhan ni digong love creating lists, narco list, tokhang list, drug list, now they can make another list enumerating all what the crazy man from dabaw rants. let it be point of reference so there can be no confusion, and our understanding of his talk is universal. mao tse tong has a red book, digong should have one similar too.
suggest ko sa color ng book.
duguan book.
hindi naman pwedeng dilawan book di ba?
fentanyl book, the book of sayings by digong. cover of the book is picture of laud quarry, he, he, he. eclipsing miriam’s book stupid is forever something.
Don’t forget to mention DICK Gordon for the inspiration and for being a DICK in the Senate.
Right!
Thanks, Khaikee.
Welcome to Cyber Plaza Miranda.
paano ba i-pronounce ang name mo khaikee?
nagtatanong lang.
hindi naman malikot ang isip ko.
Khai is pronounced like Bali Hái or High and Die and Bye and Why. Does that appease your troubled mind?
a ok, copy. thanks
Sana nmn wag nyang gawing killing machine ang PNP, masisira ang kanilang pangako sa taong bayan.
ahem, that is what pnp do best: killing those nanlaban kuno, else killing those already in jail. yong iba, nag-riding in tandem. at saka, yong iba pa rin are waiting for their chance to dip their fingers in the pie.
anyhow, there are around 300 more polis in basilan ngayon, all tainted and awaiting redemption. pakyaw maybe able to give them spiritual awakening.
sana palabanin na lang ni fakyaw.
tulad ng naisagot ni bato sa isang tanong na kung hindi mapapatay dahil ayaw lumaban, ang isinagot niya ay “pag di lumaban, palalabanin!”
Yes, he has the police then and now. Lascanas was a police officer, he made Bato his chief PNP who worked with him in Davao. DDS gone national.
