DAVAO
CITY, Dec. 4 (PNA) – Members of the British Parliament who visited this
city recently praised Mayor Rodrigo R. Duterte for his “clear visions
for the city”.
In
a dinner hosted by the city mayor Monday evening, the All Party British
Parliamentary Group to the Philippines led by Mark Pritchard, Elliot
Morley and Graham Stuart engaged Duterte in conversation on various
topics, including peace and order, politics and even corruption in the
government.
Duterte
told the group he is supporting President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo up to
the end of her term in 2010, adding he does not support any extension
of her term or that of other elected officials.
Pritchard commended the mayor’s foresight and clear visions for the city.
“He is somebody with ability, intellect and a strong sense of what is right and wrong,” he said.
The
All Party Parliamentary Group to the Philippines is a voluntary
association of members of both the Houses of Lords and Commons who are
interested in promoting Philippine-British relations.
Also
present during the dinner were Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA)
Mindanao Assistant Secretary Kadatuan Usop, International Relations
Committee chair Rachel Zozobrado and deputy chief of mission of the
Philippine Embassy in London Rey Catapang. (PNA)
