DAVAO CITY – Davao City's Second District Representative Omar S. Duterte joined residents of Barangay Ilang on Thursday as they celebrated their Araw ng Barangay, expressing gratitude for the community's continued trust and support while reaffirming his commitment to public service.

During the celebration, Duterte spent time with residents and participated in various activities organized for the occasion. He also sponsored games and raffle activities that brought excitement to the festivities and provided additional enjoyment for families and community members.

In his message, Duterte thanked the people of Barangay Ilang for their warm welcome and emphasized the importance of unity and cooperation in building stronger communities.

"Daghang salamat sa inyong endless support sa kang PRRD, kang VP Sara, Mayor Baste, ug sa akoa. Akoa lang maingon ninyo is samtang naay adlaw naa tay pag-asa. Laban lang ta. Mao man na pagkaila-ila dinhi sa atong mga Dabawenyo, mga isog man ta," Duterte said.

VP Sara Leads Davao City's 128th Independence Day Celebration; Mayor Baste Calls for Defense of Freedom and Sovereignty

DAVAO CITY — Vice President Sara Duterte joined Davao City officials, uniformed personnel, and residents in commemorating the 128th Anniversary of the Proclamation of Philippine Independence during ceremonies held Friday morning, June 12, at Quezon Park and Rizal Park in Davao City.

The program opened with a flag-raising ceremony and the singing of the Philippine National Anthem at Quezon Park, followed by a wreath-laying ceremony at the Rizal Monument in Rizal Park led by the Vice President.

Mayor Sebastian "Baste" Duterte's welcome message was delivered by Vice Mayor Rodrigo "Rigo" Duterte II, who represented the city mayor during the commemoration.

In his message, Mayor Duterte paid tribute to the courage, patriotism, and sacrifices of Filipino heroes whose struggle for independence laid the foundation for the freedoms enjoyed by Filipinos today.

He emphasized that amid the country's current political landscape, citizens share the responsibility of safeguarding freedom and preserving national sovereignty.

"Amid our current political landscape, it is our collective responsibility to safeguard the freedom of our citizens and preserve the sovereignty of our state," the mayor's message stated.

The mayor also urged Filipinos to remain steadfast against forces that seek to weaken democratic values, undermine citizens' rights, and threaten the foundations of liberty.

Drawing parallels between the country's heroes and present-day challenges, Duterte said that while the nation's forebears fought for independence using "pens, bolos, and muskets," today's generation is called upon to defend freedom through education, social responsibility, good governance, and empowered citizenship.

The celebration carried this year's theme, "Kalayaan, Kinabukasan, Kasaysayan," underscoring the importance of learning from the nation's past while protecting its liberties and investing in its future.

Vice President Duterte later delivered the keynote message for the occasion before participants joined in singing "Tayo'y Dabawenyo," followed by a photo opportunity and the offering of flowers at the Rizal Monument.

The Independence Day commemoration concluded with city officials calling on Dabawenyos to uphold patriotism, unity, and civic responsibility as the nation continues to face contemporary challenges while preserving the freedoms won through the sacrifices of its heroes.

Free Professional Examinations Act Authored by Rep. Omar Duterte Passes Third Reading in the House

A landmark measure aimed at expanding access to professional and government career opportunities for economically disadvantaged Filipinos has successfully passed Third Reading in the House of Representatives.

The substitute bill to House Bill No. 453, principally authored by Davao City's 2nd District Representative Omar Vincent S. Duterte, was approved by the House on May 20, 2026. The measure, now consolidated as House Bill No. 8869, seeks to institutionalize free professional examinations for qualified indigent Filipinos and members of Indigenous Peoples and Indigenous Cultural Communities (IP/ICCs).

Dubbed the "Free Professional Examinations Act," the proposed legislation recognizes that examination fees often serve as a significant barrier for many deserving graduates and job seekers seeking to advance their careers. By removing this financial burden, the bill aims to provide greater access to employment opportunities and promote social mobility among marginalized sectors.

Under the measure, qualified beneficiaries will be entitled to a waiver of examination fees for:

Professional licensure examinations administered by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC);
Civil Service Commission (CSC) examinations required for eligibility in government service; and
The Bar Examinations conducted by the Supreme Court of the Philippines.

The bill reflects the principle that talent, competence, and determination—not economic status—should determine an individual's ability to enter a profession or pursue public service.
For many aspiring teachers, nurses, engineers, accountants, social workers, agriculturists, and other professionals, examination fees can pose a substantial challenge, particularly for those coming from low-income families and remote communities.

The legislation seeks to ensure that qualified graduates are not denied the opportunity to obtain professional licenses simply because they cannot afford examination costs.
Likewise, members of Indigenous Peoples and Indigenous Cultural Communities stand to benefit from the measure, reinforcing the government's commitment to inclusivity and equal access to education and employment opportunities.

Beyond providing financial relief, the proposed law is expected to contribute to nation-building by increasing the number of licensed professionals and qualified government workers, particularly from underserved sectors. It is also seen as an investment in human capital, helping unlock the potential of talented Filipinos who may otherwise be left behind due to economic constraints.

The passage of the bill on Third Reading marks a significant legislative milestone and underscores the House of Representatives' commitment to making professional advancement more accessible to all Filipinos, regardless of social or economic background.

If enacted into law, the Free Professional Examinations Act will serve as a transformative measure that opens doors for thousands of aspiring professionals, strengthens workforce development, and advances the constitutional mandate of providing equal opportunities for employment and public service to every Filipino.
