ロドリゴ・ドゥテルテ大統領は、新型コロナウィルス（以下、Covid-19）の世界的流行が深刻となった3月中旬から、公務を行っているマニラで67日間足止めされていたが、5月16日（土）、2か月強ぶりにダバオに帰省が叶った。
当初、大統領は、ダバオへの帰省を強く望んでいたが、マニラのロックダウンやダバオ市のコミュニティ防疫の強化などにともない、自身の娘であり現ダバオ市のサラ・ドゥテルテ氏がそれを許可していなかった。
今回の大統領の滞在期間は発表されていないが、政府関係者は、長期の滞在はできないないだろうとコメントしている。
例え一国の大統領であっても、家族であっても例外を認めないという姿勢は、ダバオ市のCovid-19への考えが、ぶれることなく一貫しているという証といってもいいだろう。しかし、ただでさえ高齢の大統領だけに、故郷で少しゆっくりと療養してほしいという市民も多いのではないだろうか。
ダバオニュースの裏側へ！
Thank you for your continued support of Davao’s portal site “Davaotchi”. “Davaotchi” is an information portal about Davao that has been running for about seven and a half years since September 2016 with the aim of conveying the charms of Davao to Japanese people in Japanese and making them more aware of Davao. Thanks to everyone’s support, we have gained a certain amount of recognition, such as being featured in a magazine, and many people have started to hear the term “Dabaotchi”. On the other hand, we have prioritized the mission of conveying the charms of Davao to as many Japanese people as possible, so there is almost no profitability, and we have allocated the profits generated from other businesses to the site management, but we have no plans for the future. As a result of careful consideration of scalability and development, Davaotchi has decided to recruit supporters who can support Davaotchi in order to better manage the site. We considered charging for the site or introducing a subscription plan, but we wanted to deliver information about Davao to as many people as possible, so we decided to simply ask for support from Davaochi fans first. You can support us using PayPal or credit card (debit card) below. We look forward to your cooperation. See more news articles
