DAVAO CITY Except for the brief moment when Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte’s name was mentioned, loud applause was hardly heard at the City Council building where city employees watched on a widescreen President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo’s sixth State of the Nation Address (SONA) Monday afternoon.
Business leaders, when sought for comment right after the president’s speech, appeared not so pleased either. In her speech, Arroyo said her administration now has the money to finance government projects.
