Senator Antonio Trillanes IV on Monday rebutted the statement by Senator Alan Peter Cayetano that Davao City, wherein President Rodrigo Duterte rendered decades of service as mayor, is one of the safest cities in the country.&quot;Ayon sa statistics, na galing sa PNP at nakita natin sa Philippine Statistics Authority, yung Davao City ay number one sa murder from 2010 to 2015. Number one ito hanggang 2015,&quot; he said.[According to statistics which came from PNP and was gotten from the Philippine Statistics Authority, Davao City was number one in murder from 2010 to 2015. This says number one until 2015.]&quot;Tapos halos kalahati lang siya ng population ng Quezon City, and yet siya yung may pinakamaraming murder. Hindi ito mga police operations; patayan ito with the intent and the motive to kill,&quot; he also noted.[They are almost only half of the population in Quezon City, yet they recorded the most number of murder cases. This is not just police operations; these are killings with the intent and the motive to kill.]On top of this, Trillanes added that Davao also ranked second highest in terms of rape cases during the same time frame.&quot;Based on the statistics, hindi natin puwedeng safer or one of the safest ang Davao City,&quot; he said.[Based on the statistics, we cannot say that Davao is safer or one of the safest cities.]&quot;Ang pinapakita natin dito, since naging mayor nang matagal doon si President Duterte at ganitong approach yung sinasabi niya, ay number one pa rin sa murder at number two pa rin sa rape, ay yung kaniyang approach ay not necessarily nag-work,&quot; he said.[What we want to show here is that since Duterte served as mayor there for a long time and he implemented this approach but still ranked number one in murder and number two in rape, then his approach may not have necessarily worked.]<ul class="op-related-articles" title="Read">	<li>READ: <a href="http://news.abs-cbn.com/news/09/19/16/cayetano-ph-becoming-more-like-singapore">Cayetano: PH becoming more like Singapore</a></li></ul>
