Davao City (Mindanews / March 2nd) – Four days after a Pfandhaus that had been robbed of millions of Pesos here, Mayor Sebastian Duterte, the administration of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. “Ugok Taaga” (Really stupid), “encourages criminals to do such crime.”

“There is a big option Dahil Ugok Taaga (Very stupid) 'Tong Pnp boss Natin, and the president is currently very forgiving for criminals, he encourages criminals to do such crime, ”said the mayor in his Sunday podcast.”

On February 26, 2025, at 9:51 a.m., armed men robbed Hannah's Pfandhaus along the Ilustre Street, which rated jewelry between 40 million and 100 million ₱.

A suspect who was identified as Jonny Dejito Bulawan from Albuera, Leyte, was arrested by authorities in the market area. He recovered by him an M-16 rifle, a 9 mm pistol and a bag that contained the stolen jewelry. The five other suspects are still at large.

“Kahit Naman Anong Gawin Natin To secure Davao City, Pero when Yung Pnp Chief Magsasalita NA Ang Droga Pampagising, What can you expect, Kung Paano Mag behavior Ang MGA-Criminals (even if we secure Davao City if the PNP boss will say that drugs are used to keep people awake, what behavior can they expect from criminals)? “Said Duterte.

Duterte referred to Marbils in a Ballyonaryo news broadcaster in November and said that most of those who grasp them in illegal drug use “are not necessarily addictive, but forced to use forbidden substances to stay awake during long working hours or extended layers.”

Duterte added that the suspects may have been asked to rob a deposit house for a reward.

He said it was easy to pay people to do criminal acts for hunger and poverty.

The DCPO spokesman Hazel Caballero Tuazon, in an interview that was broadcast around DXDC-RMN, said that the arrested suspect would be violated, among other things, for robbing robbery and the ban on election pistols.

The DCPO director Colonel Hansel Marantan contested on social media that the robbery was “staged”.

The five other suspects still have to be arrested.

The police offered a reward of 500,000 peseters – 100,000 pesos for information that leads to the arrest of the five other suspects.

The DCPO asked the public to deliver leads or information about the suspects and their whereabouts via the hotline numbers 0998 598 7054, 0916 659 2576 and 082-227-577. (Ian Carl Espinosa / Mindanews)
