JUST a day after a golf c
lub mauling incident was reported, dozens of blogs are denouncing alleged
perpetrators who happen to be high-ranking government officials.
Masui, Lanao del Sur Mayor Nasser Pangandaman, Jr. and several of his golf comp
anions and bodyguards figured in an altercation last December 26 with Delfin de
la Paz and his 14-year old son Bino at the Valley Golf and Country Club in Ant
ipolo City.
It was later found out that Department of Agrarian Reform Secretary Nasser Pang
andaman Sr. was also present at the golf club but was said to have not been par
t of the alleged mauling.
The incident was later blogged by Bambee de la
Pazand was reported by several news organizations. Bloggers also picked up
the story and have since been calling for an investigation over the incident wh
ile a few others called for both Pangandaman's resignations.
Bambee de la Paz's blog was reposted on theFilipinoVoices.com and received dozens of comments. Comic book artis
t Gerry Alanguilan also posted hisopinion on the matter, while Juned Sonido also had
his take on the issue.
Blogger Tonyo Cruz listed several messages from other bloggers in Global Voices.
Filipina Mom Bloggerlisted down other blogs that are showing outrage for the alleged
mauling.
Manuel Quezon III wrote a scathing commentary where he relates the incident to the warlo
rd culture in the provinces.

hi Sir! i just read the mayor side that they were the victims. This is so outra
geous.Wow! a 14 year old boy nangulpi ng mayor at 5 bodyguard with guns!!! This
is a new world record of lies! PLease tell these mayor and DAR sec and the bod
yguards that you cannot always fool every filipino people of your arrogance an
d your abuse of authority to a ordinary taxpayer citizens, who are the one payi
ng their salary. thank you
What else is new? Majority of government officials and their cohorts are corru
pt and untouchables. I feel sorry for the victims. They can file for charges bu
t their lives depends on it. Let's face it, Nasser Pangandaman Sr. and his thug
s are ABOVE THE LAW! Wheteher we like it or not, we have to live with it.
Gut wrenching behavior of the Pangandaman. 2 things, GMA to fire the DAR secret
ary, (non performing anyway), DILG to appoint Masui OIC mayor. Tax payers can n
ot allow these people in government.
I hope there won't be any cover-up or whitewash in this case
nakakahiya sila! ang kakapal ng mukha!
dapat sa kanila makulong para mabawasan naman ang abusadong opisyales natin (al
am natin ang dami nila 99.9% yata )
The incident happen at the golf club is just an example of how these government
officials actions reflects on their true identity and somehow the voters who v
ote for this kind of people to be part of the blame.
Whew! It's really alarming how these supposed public servants abused our consti
tuents. They cry for mercy just to get our votes. But once into office, they be
come very supreme that seemingly their powers are absolute. So, we voters must
wake up to the sad realities of politics and give them the much deserved lesson
by brushing them aside during election and get our mandate to the one who real
ly deserves it and adheres to the notion that public service is a public thrust
s.
To the Pangandaman, you were in a Golf Club in Antipolo, M.M., not in Lanao del
Sur and people here reason, discuss even argue but they do not threaten or mau
l other people. Now you tell us that a 56 yo man and 14 yo kid would pick a fig
ht with your mayor son and cohorts? what a brazen lie!!! Showing your true colo
r and behavior, don't you think it's appropriate for you to resign. Meantime, I
expect jail time your (thug) mayor son.
Same old same old, how I wish the filipino people will one day stand up and uni
te to remove these pigs, crocs and snakes from government (majority of them any
way). And we are the one's paying their salaries thru taxes!
Re mauling at the golf club: What a disgrace these people have become. A golf c
lub is a place to enjoy hitting the ball, walking, and conversing, not to brawl
because of ignorance of rules and regulations. I am a golfer myself (or used t
o be until prices went sky-high). Let's hope there won't be any copycats in the
future, otherwise, even golf courses, a haven of peace, tranquility and enjoym
ent will be forever tainted by these ignorant moneyed pretentious golfers. To t
hose who beat up father and son, my message to them: Cowards, cowards, cowards!
!!
Pasensiya sa kanila. Kala nila baril hawak at patakbotakbo lang sa golf course
ng maneuver para sa next attack after Christmas. Di naman marurunong ng golf. M
aiingay pa dahil may freedom of spits.
Let our friends and people in the world know that management of âValley Golf an
d Country Clubâ will not help them when trouble happened on their property.
Hindi mo ba ako nakikilala? Kneel or I will kick you!
---------
People drunk with power and arrogance...thats what we taxpayers get from this r
otten administration.
Who is next?
These people who were involved in mauling the victims did it because they think
or better yet, they KNOW they can do it. Let's stand up against these kinds o
f barbarians and let them know that they CANNOT do that. They are supposed to
be PUBLIC SERVANTS! The Philippine politics is really ironical when it comes t
o public service. Baliktad ang dito sa atin.
Hay naku... dapat yata eh magtayo na tayo ng talagang super supported vigilante
s... kainis na ah. am sure, ma-whitewash yan. ano pa? eh kung sa mas malaking m
ga pangalan nga eh.. nabura na sa mga listahan at records ng pulis, military, k
ongreso, senado, at sa korte.. lam niyo na yun kung sino. sino pa nga ba eh di
yun super big fish este hipopotamus o kaya rhinoceros na nga na siya na may kas
amang dwende ba yun ala si mahal na artista, na nakatira sa malaking palasyong
luma. haaaay, expect natin eto.. baka sa 19th tee mapasok ang kaso o kaya sa l
agoon napunta ang kaso parang golf ball na natapon sa kung saan at hindi na han
apin... abangan...
Ano ba magagawa ng 14 yr old kid? Kung may chance lng na makita ko si KUPAL na
MAYOR, suntukan kami...pero wala ung mga bodyguards nya ha hehehe im sure they'
ll rot in hell! to the dela paz family, my prayers are with you...
father and a son against 5 bodyguards? bet with you with guns, and the old dog
is a DAR chief, resign and set an example is what that crocodile and his alliga
tor son should do, beating up civilians? ...you could have told your stupid dog
s(probably illiterate bodyguards as usual in the Philippines) to just stay put
just like dogs, the mayor son could have just fought it like one on one if you
are ducated which I presume he is not, which a lot of politicians and their bro
ods are, what else is new with the government and rich people, can they just en
joy their money and play golf,
what else is new in our society nowadays? look at the bigger picture, this is i
ncomparable to the one happening in the middle east with Israel is brewing some
thing. Question, who are these rich & famous wanna be's? Golf is a sport a
nd is far comparable from boxing or wrestling. Let's leave it at that our dear
children, okey?
i think the media can do a lot to help the de la Paz family by continued ffup.
let us not let abusive civil servants like these go unpunished.
this pangandamanans show that they have money.they can provide to go in golf co
urse huh? in backward town of masui.14 years old how can you do that..Karma com
e on you pangandamanan.
i am a golfer, i was shocked what happened at the golf course in the phil. dito
sa australia that is assault napakalaki ng pagkakamali mo sa buhay pag ginawa
mo yan maski animal ang sinaktan mo may kalalagyan ka,anak mo pag pinalo mo at
nagkapasa at tumawag ng pulis sigurado pag dating ng pulis nakaposas ka at kul
ong ka. pustahan tayo yang mga pangadaman na iya hindi makukukong iyan.
Golf is a gentleman's game. Government official's are not gentle so therefore t
hey should not play golf. I suggest wrestling,boxing and ufc. This is a reflect
ion of this government's arrogance. We deserve better from government, so are w
e wondering why they want to stay in power after 2010?
That incident should be the last among politicians and those in government posi
tions; and anybody for that matter. The voters of the Mayor's place should be
wise enough not to vote for him if and when he runs again. The DAR Sec. ...well
, how could a father let his son or relatives do that especially in his presenc
e? Is he afraid of his own family? He did not stop the mauling... leadership a
nd values in question! aha!
I'm not demanding that the Pangandamans resign from their posts. But I'd rather
wish for every Filipino to ask for a complete investigation on the case, let j
ustice prevail, and punish the guilty! Well, if the Pangandamans are guilty, th
en they should be meted out the proper punishment, and of course, dismissal fro
m their posts. But then again, that is like reaching for the stars. So why not
just revolt, and throw these pretenders to hell?!!!!!
Ay naku ano pa ba ang bago.Di ba yang mga moro na yan ang dahilan ng gulo sa mu
ndo.sad to say pero yan ang totoo.PGMA,patunayan mong fair ka.malakas ang loob
kasi sila ang goyerno.Pangandaman mag resign ka na.
Mayor with goons,ginulpi ng 14 years old..He he he.sabihin mo yan kay Gloria.ha
,haa ha.
kaya nga gentleman's game ang golf..eh kung hindi gentleman ang mga naglalaro k
atulad nyang pamilyang Pangandaman, what do you expect?
I'm a golfer and this is the first time that I have heard this kind of violence
in a golf course but after learning who were involved.. Dodo brains were invol
ved. Civil servants who are suppose to serve the Filipino people. What is new i
n our Country? These type of people openly disregard the law of the land and th
ey are tough when they are with their bodyguards and cower fear when alone. Hop
e that all those who were involved rot in jail or at least meet somebody who al
so got bodyguards and can fight back. Whatever comes around goes around..
To: De La paz Family.
Specially Bino, Please continue playing golf don't be discourge by those folks
who thinks they are above the law, somewhere,somehow justice will be serve to t
hose people who are responsible for hurting you physically and emotionaly, So p
lease continue playing the sport of the life time. My prayers goes to you and y
our family, spacially to Mr. Dela Paz who are spending quality time with you an
d your sister... Mr. Dela Paz we are with you, and I'm a golfer myself...I will
encourage all my Golf Buddies to read about your story.. Plus I will make a pe
rsonal appeal and condemn what those folks did to you and your Kids to our next
Philippines Airlines sponsor tournament here in United State ( Southern Cal.)
We will have our next tournament in Jan 10 in San Diego Cal. I will encourarage
all the Members of IAGC, Golfinos, of San Diego Ca.base to condemn the inciden
t at Valley Golf course in Antipolo. Phil. But speaking for myself after readin
g all the news account I have come to conclusion that Mr.Dela Paz story are cre
dible. God Bless the De la Paz Family for guidance in this dark days of thier l
ife. Specially the The Kid name Bino..... and His Sister....

Obviously, some arrogant RP government officials has not changed after all thes
e years to respect the people who absolutely pays their salary and relies on be
tter system of government. It is totally unacceptable! The President should d
efinitely need to ask the involved officials to step down from ther respective
position.
Lesson no. 1- Don't mess with the rich and famous.
The truth can only be known to among the staffs of Antipolo Golf Club who are p
resent when the incident happened. Whatever they would say officially, truth or
not, would ultimately be retold amongst his/her confidants. Its a shame really
for any government official to do that, if they were inflicted first, at least
they should have restrained themselves...that didnt happen at all...what a dis
mal control on their part.
Now, golf clubs in manila, arent they supposed to have cameras around? Oh, Anti
polo Golf Club has none?
a mayor from a not so class city, (where is that , what's the name of the city
again..?..)...with 5 bodyguards...????...na napaka abusado..!!!...pinapatulan p
ati bata..!!!....eh kung yung mga mayor ng mga first class city, hindi nagdadal
a ng bodyguards sa golf course..!!!...come to think of it...sino nagpapasweldo
sa mga bodyguards niya...????...the TAXPAYERS...!!!!....that only proves to sho
w na KURAKOT ang MAYOR na yan..!!!..anong city na nga siya ulit...??..??...
A bunch of thugs in a golf country club? What are they doing there in the first
place? They should be out there in Mindanao fighting the Abu Sayaf and not the
peace loving people of the Philippines. A bunch of Cowards!
The pangandamans walk like a moro, they eat like a moro. They dressed like a mo
ro. They attend to social functions like a moro. Imagine they even play golf li
ke a moro! These Pangandamans must be moros!! Are they your friends Mr. Remonde
?
another politician playing god. i just donât see how one can justify beating a
14 year old kid. no matter how a kid provokes you itâs not right to beat him up
especially when youâre running around with bodyguards with guns. so to the pan
gandamans, your excuse is stupid. you're an idiot to even justify it and a cowa
rd to do that. these pangandaman family are men with no balls at all. they go a
round as if they own the world (if theyâre with their bodyguards). these family
is a classic example of a corrupt politician who has an ego problem. the panga
ndaman family is another embarrasment to the arroyo government. i support the c
all for their resignation as a matter of delikadeza.
Update
Just read on paper this morning, Quote The palace spokesperson stated that the
pre-emtive suspension called by Atty. Fortun for Both DAR Sec. and Mayor is too
early and waiting for initial report from N.B.I? Oh wow.. only in Pinas I gue
ss, Actually i,t is already to late for suspension It should have been handed r
ight after, it was to known that the Mayor lay a hand on 14years kid...and whil
e the DAR Secretary is in the vicinity...If those things were to happened in Un
ited Sates.. Every Major newspaper in this country will be outrage as well as
all Major T.V Network to include all the Cable news and Night show, talk show
host...will carry it live and condemn...But in Pinas except for Pinky Webb who
has guts as journalist continue to bring the issue on the air..I did not see an
y from GMA network... but , maybe I missed it.. I saw it again last night Pinky
Webb with live on scene reporter are covering the filing of the case by Atty.
Fortun...whereas in news Balance they also cover the events by the Pngandaman (
mayor) Wondering what kind of case He will bring agaisnt an 14 years old.. and
It was about the caddies account... No offense to caddies ok..but they want thi
er work to continue after all, most of them work for Tips.. of about five hundr
eds and sometimes more if the players are generous, But I will not be mad or an
gry to caddies statement.. after all being caddies is not really permanent job.
.. or is it..? Besides they want to continue earning money for themselves and t
hier families.. therefore I will not place any stock with thier statement... No
w for those folks that work in office... most of them are college Graduates.. T
hey can find another employment elsewhere.. if its the same officeworkers in Ea
gle Ridge, Riviera, Orchards, Highland. and the one in Silang...Cavite.. Golf c
ourses, they were all very attractives and very proffesional ladies.. So please
don't place to much emphasis on the Caddies, caddies for the Pangandaman... Th
ier not liars... but they will not exactly tell the truth... in other word... A
nyone knows what happend...come on... lets not pretend we don't know... ok...B
ut will the truth comes out? we hope so.. we hope that the De La Paz Family is
strong enough to weather the Storm... because we know that te "Padrino will Sur
face or it may already have" De La Paz Family I urge you to stand up for your
ground and Please reveal the Identity of the The Padrino... Because if that per
son tried to talk to you and your Family, One thing is Guarantee He is not your
Friend! He will appeared to be working in your Interest..."NOT"
To Atty,. Fortun... Good that you l represented the De La Paz Family Because yo
u have to a winning reputation...But thats not all your traits... I've read so
much of the Fortun Family lawyers.. All of you have the Integrity beyong repr
oach... You have representated your clients well...So.... "WIN ONE FOR THE PEOP
LE....SMALL PEOPLE THAT ARE TRYING TO MAKE IT" Those are the People that Newly
Elected to be sworn in President of United State Barack Obama...When He spoke s
o eloquently about His Mother and above all His now(Desease) Grandmother who di
ed without knowing His Grandson got elected(Highest Office of U.S.A), will be s
worn in as the Next President of United States come 20 Jan 09, Mr, de La Paz is
one of the folks he was reffering too... in term of Sacrifice ,When He mention
ed about His Grandma Place Buying New Clothes and New Car... on hold...So he c
an have a better life... and we are all experience it.. We all went to the sam
e sacrifice Just so, in my recolection , saw My Eldest Son Graduate in college
with Electrical Engineer... and another who still in College..We work hard...s
o we can give them everything that we did not have growing up... ( in Pinas) No
w My elsdest Son is an Electrical Engineer graduated from University of Califi
fornia Regents... of Riverside and MBA'S from Texas A& M, As you all can s
ee we place our kids above anything else...We really don't want to see any Grow
n up man Beating up on our Little ones...
Thats my take. and Update
Happy Holiday.. to The Dela Paz Family and Be strong God Loves you....
For Pinky Webb of ANC ,I cannot thank you enough for not letting up in regard
s to this case! Thank you again

Politicians should bear in mind that no one is above the law - not even them. I
f they had behaved nicely towards the incidents bloggers all over the Philippin
es (who by the way are just expressing their musings) won't make a big deal out
of it.
To the maulers: Sana kasi nag-isipisip kayo na nasa cyberage na tayo at walang
makakaligtas sa mga mata ng tao....yun lang thank you....
"Dont mess with with the rich and famous"?
only idiots will say that.
whether your opponent is rich or famous and you think you are right and you fee
l you are abused...fight for your right. just like what happen in golf club, 2
fat siblings of arrogant government official with their bodyguards beat up a sm
all kid, and bambee knows they are right and abused thats why her family is fig
hting.
All i can say is they should RESIGN all of them. As for the 2 fat siblings YOU
BOTH ARE GAYS for beating a small kid.
An independent investigation by the Valley Golf & Country Club ruled that i
t was dela Paz and not Pangandaman who instigated the brawl at hole #5. Numero
us witnesses said the elder dela Paz started the brawl by hitting the Mayor wit
h his umbrella. For instigating the brawl, the Club has expelled Delfin dela P
az from its roster.
Now that the truth (which is vastly different from what Bambee had portrayed in
her blog) is out, will those who made nasty remarks about the Pangandamans be
honest enough to admit they were wrong and man enough to take back what they sa
id? Personally, I have doubts.
that's just shameful. so not fair.
