No railway discussions during her term as RDC chair- Sara

DAVAO CITY, Sept 4 (PIA) Former Davao City Mayor Sara  Duterte-Carpio  clarified that there was no clear discussion yet with regards to the plan to rationalize the transport system in the city by coming up a railway system for passenger trains that will cater to the residents from Toril to Lasang and Vice Versa.

She issued the statement during the Kapehan sa NCCC Mall Davao.

“There was no discussion about the railway system even before and during my term as chair of the Regional Development Council 11,” Duterte-Carpio said.

The railways system is looked forward by development planners in preparation to avoid traffic congestion as the city progresses in the future.

Duterte-Carpio also welcomed the support expressed by residents for her to take the city leadership during the national and local elections in 2016.

She called the expression heart-warming and a big boost to her enthusiasm to serve the people again.

“They showed me their love and support and it will boost my interest to serve the community because of their trust and confidence in me,” Duterte-Carpio said.

She revealed that she has a lot of development concerns for the city.

However, Duterte-Carpio clarified that the direction of her leadership will depend on the issues, concerns and projects left by her predecessor.

She also formally announced her assumption as ambassadress of the NCCC Mall Davao.

Duterte-Carpio said the mall shares with her the values of being close to the people.

“I look forward to working with the NCCC and working with the community by delivering both the shared-values of the mall and its products to the residents,” she said. (PIA 11-Joey Sem G. Dalumpines)
