LOOK: Controversial Pugoy hostage crisis depicted in Duterte comics

MANILA, Philippines -The story behind the controversial Pugoy hostage crisis in Davao City prison in 1989 has been revealed in the comic book: "Digong: Ang Kanlungan ng mga Inaapi at Inaabuso.”

Written by KC Cordero and JM Estrabela, the comic book shows the feat of Duterte including his role in the hostage taking of 36-year-old Australian missionary Jaqueline Hamill as well as 14 other victims. It was illustrated by Karl Comendador, the Duterte supporter artist who also made Mar Roxas’s comic book “Sa Gitna ng Unos.”

The comic book shows how Duterte volunteered to become a hostage in exchange for other victims after the group of convict Felipe Pugoy attempted to escape Davao Penal Colony.

While Pugoy held a knife to Duterte’s throat, the tough-talking mayor told the criminal that he will do everything he can to help in Pugoy’s case. In the end, Duterte was able to convince Pugoy to go back to the jail.

Another hostage incident was shown in the next panel. This time, the hostage-taking took place inside Camp Leonor in August 1989 where Hamill was one of the victims. The female prayer warrior of the Joyful Assembly of God was gang raped and killed during the incident.

In the comic book, the mayor, who was in his first mayoral term at that time, said: "Pinatay na nila lahat ang hostages, kailangan pa ba ang negosasyon? (They killed all the hostages, do we still need a negotiation?) And besides, I don't negotiate with criminals!”

The said hostage crisis recently regained interest after a video of Duterte commenting on the rape of Hamill during his campaign rally on April 12 in Quezon City made rounds on social media. His remark quickly earned the ire of netizens and several women’s rights groups.

He said: "T***a, sayang ito. Ang napasok sa isip ko, ni-rape nila. Pinagpilahan nila. Nagalit ako kasi ni-rape. Oo, isa rin yun. Napakaganda. Dapat ang mayor muna ang mauna.”

The PDP-Laban standard bearer has since apologized for offending Filipinos but claimed he was not joking when he made the statement. --Mini, The Summit Express

According to a certain Veron Mendoza, her usual rush hour commute turned into one of her most memorable experiences as she witnessed how passengers come together to help a woman give birth inside the bus.

The pregnant woman, who was with her husband, started delivering her baby between Sucat and Alabang. Although their bus was not supposed to exit in Alabang, their bus took that route because the emergency situation. Fortunately, a nurse working at St. Lukes hospital happened to be in the same bus and responded immediately.

She wrote on her Facebook account: “We clapped to rejoice with them. Some of us prayed and some of us were in tears.I've witnessed the Millennial version of Bayanihan.”

Some passengers including Mendoza gave the bus driver the directions to Asian Hospital. While passengers moms did their part by turning bus curtains as blanket to cover the woman while giving birth, passenger dads used their voices as a siren to help the conductor of the bus.

Luckily, the bus finally reached Asia Hospital, where the woman and her baby received appropriate medical attention.

“It was a heart warming feeling for everyone who did their part... I've realized that each of us has an important role to play to be united. I think we can all learn from this experience,” Mendoza added.

Bayanihan, a core essence of the Filipino culture, is the act of helping out one’s neighbor as a community to help make the job easier and lessen the work load. Also called “community spirit”, traditional bayanihan is best exhibited when Filipinos help their neighbor move from one location to another by lifting and carrying their house or bahay kubo with the help of wooden poles.
