Tags: Baste Duterte, Davao City, Islam, Muslim

Davao City Mayor Sebastian “Baste” Duterte has expressed support on the proposal of the Muslim religious leaders for the creation of a higher Islamic institution in the city.

The local chief executive made the statement when he graced the Ulama Peace Summit, which was participated by 40 Muslim religious leaders in Paglas Compound, Mamay Road Thursday, November 17.

The ulama presented to Duterte the summit’s workshop outputs.

The mayor said that in Davao City, religion shall not be used as a tool by which one’s propensity to do evil is measured.

He reminded the participants of the existing anti-discrimination law, which he said, should be utilized by anyone who experiences any form of discrimination.

The summit, spearheaded by the Task Force Davao, aims to provide a venue for the participating ulama to “address miscommunication, misconception, and discrimination” among the Muslim community in the city as well as to voice their aspirations for peace.

Strengthening the ties between the Muslim religious leaders and the local government towards peace-building, the summit also centered around the propagation of Davao City’s culture of security.
