Censure compliance of Councilmember DiGiovanni

Speaking on behalf of several residents who yielded their time, he demanded accountability, read excerpts from the $100,000 investigation including profane conduct at the Top of the Hill Festival, and asked why the council hasn't done more — suggesting she resign.

A Daly City worker of 40 years, she cited unaddressed harm since the pandemic and Stop Asian Hate era, including an alleged assault on Councilmember Manalo, and called on the council to act now.

He described being the victim of a recent hate crime and connected it to the climate created by the censured councilmember, urging maximum consequences and declaring Daly City 'no place for hate.'

He said DiGiovanni slapped him in the face on the day his mother passed away, called it an assault under Penal Code Section 242, and demanded she step down.

A young Filipina community member, she asked the community to choose respect, understanding, and unity over division.

Emotionally, she demanded action after three years and a $100,000 investigation, calling DiGiovanni a bully and asking why she still sits on the dais.

Past president of the Buriburi Phil-Am Seniors Association, she defended DiGiovanni as inspiring, caring, and simply vocal in defending procedures.

A planning commissioner, he said it's simply a matter of following the city's censure policy — take anger management and apologize.

DiGiovanni's line-dancing teacher, she defended her as kind to Filipino seniors and not racist, claiming DiGiovanni is the one being bullied.

He defended DiGiovanni as a good person with a good heart who was hospitalized from stress and pressured to quit, asking the public to understand her instead of vilifying her.

He expressed sadness, saying if Pam can get some help this goes away, but until then it remains a problem for the city and county.
