Friday, October 05, 2007 'Death Squad' invades YouTube By Ben O. Tesiorna
THE dreaded vigilante group Davao Death Squad has invaded the Internet via the website, YouTube.
Entitled "ITV-CNN Report Davao Death Squads," the four minute report by Chris Rogers was viewed 7,527 times as of Thursday morning with 66 of the viewers giving their comments on the report.
It was posted in YouTube last February 11, 2007 by Preda1.
The report talked about the Davao Death Squad and how public opinion suggested that the vigilante group is the handiwork of the City Government under Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte.
In his reaction, Duterte dismissed the report as hearsay.
Duterte's daughter, Vice Mayor Sara, meanwhile reserved her comment on the issue, saying she had not seen the report and that she does not have any personal knowledge on the existence of Davao Death Squad.
"All I get is hearsay and that data I read are on newspapers," the young Duterte said.
Here are some of the comments posted by the viewers of the said video report:
