00:00When you became mayor, you said that Davao became safe. Is that correct?
00:07That should be answered by a third person. I would not be answering that. It would be presumptuous of me to conclude.
00:27I would never say that Davao City was safe. Not publicly.
00:34Mr. Chair, as mayor, can you say that Davao City became safe during your time?
00:42Of course.
00:45Because there were no criminals on the streets?
00:48Of course.
00:49No snatchers?
00:50No snatchers.
00:52No robbers?
00:53No robbers.
00:54No robbers?
00:55No robbers.
00:57No murderers?
00:58No murderers.
01:01So, all of those? Yes.
01:03Yes.
01:05So, there were no criminals or incidents of criminality? Why?
01:11There were incidents. Not totally. It would be a dream of a city not to have any criminal incidents or violence.
01:23But overall, Davao City was safe.
01:28The test or standard would be that a citizen of the city can walk all over the city and men and children can go home safely, unmolested, undisturbed.
01:46That was the standard that I gave to the police of Davao City.
