Davao's Sara Duterte finally apologizes to sheriff

> Davao City mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio finally apologized to Regional Trial Court branch 16 sheriff Abe Andres whom she punched in July last year.


It can be recalled that the lady mayor had hit Andres who refused to grant her request to delay for 2 hours the demolition of squatters’ shanties at Barangay Soliman in Agdao district.

She extended her apology to Andres for the first time on Thursday, June 28.

“Gusto lang nako ipa-abot kay Abe Andres ug sa iyang pamilya bisag wala sila didto, apektado sila sa nahitabo,” Duterte-Carpio said, according to reports.

Andres, reports said, was detailed to the Supreme Court in Manila a few weeks after the incident.

The mayor’s move received negative reactions from netizens, with some saying that she only said sorry because the local election is getting near.

Duterte-Carpio, apparently, will not seek re-election in 2013.
