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.
