Davao City gov't to look into discrimination reports

IVY C. TEJANO
November 21, 2016
THE Davao City Government vowed to look into reported discrimination on lesbian,
gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) and Muslim community in the city.

Davao City administrator Zuleika Lopez issued the statement after a City Councilor
urged Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio to sign the implementing rules and regulations
(IRR) of the Anti-Discrimination Ordinance, as reports surfaced that some members
of the Muslim and LGBT community continue to face discrimination in the city.

"Of course, we don't want discrimination in our city. We will look into this. If
discrimination is still happening here, we will discuss with the private sectors
kasi sila ang (because they are the) frontline. Discrimination is prohibited in our
city," Lopez said.

As to the call to sign the IRR, Lopez assured that Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-
Carpio will support what is good for the people and they will look into the matter.

Committee on Cultural Communities and Muslim Affairs Chair Councilor Halila Sudagar
earlier said anti-discrimination ordinance cannot be enforced in the city due to
the absence of the IRR.

"We are imploring the kind indulgence of the executive department to look into the
matter, drafting the IRR of the anti-discrimination ordinance," Sudagar said.

Sudagar said the committee submitted a resolution urging the executive department
and the technical working group to sign the IRR of the ordinance.
