Davao Metro Shuttle is set to purchase up to 50 buses for Go Mindanao Bus Tour program but will initially start with 20 buses. These are expensive buses that will ply tourists to areas that will lead to tourism destinations in the Davao Region.

Duterte suportado ang media killing?

'Do not misinterpret the statement of the President. Ang sinabi lang naman ng President we have freedom of the press, but we also have to be responsible in exercising it.'

ito ang pahayag ni Sen. Koko Pimentel matapos magkagulo ang publiko sa pahayag ni President-elect Duterte tungkol sa Meda Killing. "Just because you're a journalist you are not exempted from assassination, if you're a son of a bitch," ito naman ang naging pahayag ni Duterte noong May 31 na nagsimula ng galit ng publiko.

dagdag ni Duterte "Most of those killed, to be frank, have done something. You won't be killed if you don't do anything wrong...That can't be just freedom of speech. The Constitution can no longer help you if you disrespect a person,"

“Given the nature of the Filipino, sometimes they resort to violence. And the Constitution cannot protect you from violence. What has not been stated (by Duterte) is that these people who violated the law by employing violence must be brought to justice,” ito naman ang dagdag na pahayag ni Pimentel patungkol sa issue.

Ayon kay Pimentel na ang gusto lang namang sabihin ng President-elect ay maging sino ka man, kung gumamit ka ng dahas ay di ka ma proprotektahan ng kontistusyon.
