In a stunning display of irony, Davao City Mayor Baste Duterte has called for President Bongbong Marcos to resign, perhaps unaware of the reflection in his own political mirror.

While pointing fingers, Mayor Duterte seems to have overlooked the glaring issues within his own jurisdiction. With Davao City topping the charts for family poverty rates among highly urbanized cities, one might suggest that Mayor Duterte take a moment to reassess his priorities before casting stones at others.

Maybe a mirror installation in his home or office would serve as a helpful reminder of where the real issues lie. Instead of playing the blame game, Mayor Duterte might find it more fruitful to focus on addressing the socioeconomic challenges plaguing his own city. After all, it’s often said that those in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones—especially when they might just shatter their own facade.
