mayor sara duerte punches sheriff

Violence erupted during a demolition operation. City Mayor Sara Duterte repeatedly punched the sheriff of the Davao Regional Trial Court, Abe Andres during the demolition. Duterte had asked for a 2-hour extension of the deadline to demolish shanties but demolition teams pushed through with their operation. Breaking News, ANC, July 1, 2011
Davao City Mayor Inday Sara Duterte is now being dubbed as "The Puncher".

On Friday morning, July 1, Mayor Sara Duterte was caught on video punching demolition sheriff Abe Andres of the Davao Regional Trial Court Branch 15.

She really hit the sheriff so hard, just like how Manny Pacquiao punches his boxing opponents.

Mayor Duterte got so mad at the sheriff after the latter pushed through with the demolition at Brgy. Kapitan Tomas Monteverde Sr., Sitio Soliman, Agdao District, Davao City, despite the mayor's request to defer the demolition for 2 hours because she's still giving away relief good to the flood victims in the area.

As seen on the video, Mayor Duterte asked first the sheriff to come near her before she punched him bigtime. You can also hear on the video the cheers from the people while Mayor Duterte was punching Sheriff Andres.

Just because of this punching incident, Mayor Duterte managed to trend worldwide on Twitter, peaking at #5, around 8PM tonight, July 1.
