I AM happy that the Inquirer keeps credible columnists like Randy David, Walden Bello, Solita Monsod, MLQ III and a lot more.
What I don’t understand is that amid the scholarly written articles, there comes Ramon Tulfo writing about the newly elected governor of Pampanga, Father Ed Panlilio, whom he thought was losing in a fair battle.
I’m really vexed at the thought that the Inquirer also keeps rotten tomatoes like Ramon Tulfo in their newspaper.
Quoting his post:
Priest-turned-politician Eddie Panlilio should shut up if he can’t prove his allegations that his closest rival, Board Member Lilia “Baby” Pineda, committed fraud in the Pampanga gubernatorial race.
As of this writing, Pineda had widened her lead over Panlilio, with the incumbent, Gov. Mark Lapid, coming in third. (Panlilio was proclaimed the winner last nightâ€â€ŔEditor)
Panlilio should stop being a crybaby and admit that he lost in a fair fight. He is barking up the wrong tree since Pineda is not the incumbent. I’m not saying Lapid cheated, but the sitting official usually has the capability to cheat because of power and machinery.
Now, who should shut up? Thank you for telling Father Panlilio to stop being a crybaby, because as of the moment, all his tears are of joy! And who are you to say that Baby Pineda has no capacity to cheat? Come on, I am from Pampanga and I really don’t know if you live here. Mr. Tulfo, I think you’re the one barking at the wrong tree; anyway, dogs really do that sometimes. The next time you write about the results of elections, see to it that you have correctly seen the COCs. What gave you the idea that Baby Pineda won? Strange, really strange. I will just wait for the apology that you will address to Father Ed. Learn your lesson. Thank you.

I realy admired Ramon Tulfo the way he scold those small time criminal,but when i heard from one ofmy friend that ramon is also the same as those reporters who have been receiving something from bigtime criminals i cannot believe it. but this article confirmed it. he’s welling to risk everything just to protect his benefactors. I’m very happy for Pampanga for having a priest as governor. I just hope he can clean the pampanga of illegal gambling and graft and corruption
