MINDORO - Administration standard-bearer Mar Roxas said Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte's campaign pitch of solving crimes in just three to six months is impossible to achieve.

Roxas said the tough-talking mayor is belittling the intelligence of voters by making this promise.

"Itong 3 to 6 months na ito, pambobola ito eh. Lahat ng eksperto na nakakaalam sa krimen, nagsasabi na imposible ito,'' Roxas said.

Roxas also urged voters to think twice on whether Duterte is telling the truth or just says what voters want to hear.

He said Davao City, Duterte's bailiwick, is one of the cities with the highest number of index crimes.

"Mahigit dalawampung taon siyang nanungkulan bilang mayor ng Davao City. Ngayon, sa bilang ng murder, mataas ang Davao City, sa bilang ng rape, mataas ang Davao City, sa droga meron droga sa Davao City,'' he said.

''So, papapano sasabihin na titigil lahat ito sa loob ng tatlo hanggang anim na buwan kung sa dalawampung taon sa Davao City, hindi ito nasugpo?"

Roxas believes the best way to solve crimes is through rule of law and a programmed approach.

"Hindi ito nadadala sa patutsada, hindi ito nadadala sa mga matatamis na salita. Nadadala ito sa mga konkretong mga programa na hindi bara bara, hindi patsamba, hindi pakanya-kanya at hindi ningas kugon," he said.

"Yung kriminalidad, lalong lalo na sa mga biktima nito, ito ay seryosong bagay, napaka-personal nito para sa kanila. Importante na mabigyan natin sila ng responsableng mga tugon dito sa kanilang karanasan, lalong lalo sa mga naging biktima."

And if Duterte pitches to eliminate crime in 3 to 6 months, Roxas said he has "Oplan Lambat Sibat."

"Yan ang ating ipinakita sa 'Lambat Sibat.' Klaro ito magmula 918 (crime) incidents a week, at ito'y audited, tinitingnan sa blotter, ngayon mahigit 250 na lang," Roxas said.

HOW WILL YOU FULFILL YOUR PROMISES? POE ASKED

Roxas also urged another rival, Sen. Grace Poe, to start explaining how she will fulfill her promises to voters.

''Panahon na para ilatag ang mga plano, hindi lang matatamis na salita, importante yung 'how,'"Roxas said.

''Madali magsabi ng matatamis na pangako mula lupa hanggang langit, pero paano natin gagawin iyan?"

Roxas said the ''Daang Matuwid'' governance of President Aquino has already done what candidates are promising to do.

''Sa Daang Matuwid, nakita natin kung papano ginawa ito, sa mga taon na ito nakita natin ang katas ng kaginhawahan na naihatid nito, at iyan ang ating foundation sa pagpapatuloy ng pagbabago."
