I quote what Nasser Pangandam Sr. said: “They should be sensitive to the feelings of others, the past few days have been very painful for us.” Look who is talking. Was he sensitive to the feelings of de la Paz and family when his son and his son’s bodyguards mauled Mr. de la Paz and his 14-year-old son despite of the pleadings of the 14 year old teen? Mr. Pangandaman is talking as if his son and his son’s bodyguards were the ones mauled by Mr. de la Paz and his 14-year-old son…tell that to the marines. The best thing you can do and your son is to resign as a secretary and your hot headed son as Mayor. If your son can do that in a prestigious club, then for sure in his town where he is a mayor he must be acting as if he is the god. All the readers’ guess is as good as mine.

I call on the NPA to penalize the Pangandams. These are the type of people we need to get rid of from the public office if not from the face of the earth

Now that both sides on the matter of Golf Valley Boxing club has came out, it turns that De La Paz, the old man started the everything as per witnesses of caddies, etc. The saying says nagkaroon din ng katapat si De La Paz (no wonder no valley golf employees were willing to help them and that also includes the takot from the bodyguards of the Mayor). Fortunate for him to have a daughter that has the savvy of blogging the Pangandamans had a field day with the bloggers. Anyway I still think that the Cabinet Secretary could have stopped the mauling but, having power from the government it seems naught for him to intervene. Even if it was started by the other side, I still could not give respect to the Pangandaman’s…. They just wanted to show WHO THEY ARE AND WHAT ARE THEY IN POWER FOR…..

Nasser Pangandam Sr., if you still have any “delicadeza” in you, better resign. The whole world will still run smoothly with or without you. No one is indespensable.
Thailand’s prime minister was ousted from office just by hosting a “cook show,” while you, the despecable event that happen in the Valley Golf demands your outright resignation as a government official, and this includes your sons.
You are not only a bully, together with your children, but you are also a bare face liar.
At first, you said, you deny that you were around when the incident happen, as taken by the T.V. coverage, when in fact, more than enough witness saw you around that vicinity.
Our little president who appointed you as Sec. of DAR is again playing blind to your plight, so we, as tax payers, as concerned citizen, as decent individuals, demands your outright resignation.
We have lost hope with our snail phase judiciary, our partial politicians, and the whole government establishment, so we are asking you politely, cut it clean, RESIGN!

I have said it before and I will say it again.
Drug problem will never leave this country if our stupid government does not do ANY CONSTRUCTIVE MEASURE TO ERADICATE IT ONCE AND FOR ALL.
Instead of declining, the production of prohibitive drugs is ever rising. The value of confiscated drugs is now running into billions of pesos!
While our politicians are whiling around, doing stupid things, like travelling abroad, making empty rhetorics, or snoozing inside Batasan during sessions, PROHIBITIVE DRUGS IS FLOODING OUR COUNTRY, and permiating in every sector of our society.
The resources derive from these prohibitive drugs is no longer a joke. It can buy the freedom of any drug lord (mainly ethnic Chinese from Mainland China and Taipie) or any drug pusher.
It is no longer a joke when our Judiciary is being corrupted by these elements. How can the Judges or the Fiscals over-look a case, dismissing it, merely for technical reason, when the stark evidence amounts to tons of Chemicals is worth hundreds of millions of pesos?
We can no longer take the drug problem lightly when addiction is already permeating in all level of society like the affluent, in our schools and Universities, in the PNP, and even among the poor. I know two high ranking PNP officers, both graduate of PMA, whoes family lives were reck because of drug addiction.
Remember, a high ranking LGU in Real Quezon was also involve in transporting drugs inside an Ambulance sometime ago.
Would you believe that the campaigne funds of a Congressman is partly finance by drug funds? Perhaps, next time, it may be the Presidential campaigne funds.
And what is PGMA doing about the problems on prohibitive drugs?
Nothing!
In fact she glorifies the country that supplies it. Instead of lodging a diplomatic complaint against China and Taipie, which is the main source of these prohibitive drugs, Gloring, merely looks the other way, pretending to be innocent, while the whole country falls victim.
Our little president piously pray before the start of her Cabinet session while the tentacles of corruption related to these prohibitive drugs is already entering the doors of the Department of Justice.
And she is playing blind!
The dastardly act committed by no other but DoJ Raul Gonzalez (hope I spelled his name right), entertaining the lawyer. of the “Alabang boys” Atty. Felisberto Verano Jr. on a private conversation, regarding their release, is a very strong indication that the prohibitive drug influence has already entered the door of our Judiciary.
Who knows if the next Presidential election will be dictated by the huge financial resources of this elicit business.
Mind you, our little president is prone to favor China, in general, in all aspect of running our internal affairs. Just look at all her Cabinet Secretaries ( all ethnic Chinese), look at her Malacanang spokeperson ExGeneral Ermita (another ethnic Chinese), her attire (straight colar blouse typically worn by ethnic Chinese), her lady bodyguards (all ethnic Chinese), etc.
Sometimes, I feel like our little president wants to eradicate all ethnic Filipinos in this country. She does not even bother to investigate the artifical shortages of essential commodities by ethnic Chinese traders who artificially increase the prices to the detriment of ethnic Filipinos.
Price manipulation is so detrimental to everyones lives, spacially the mothers who can hardly budget their income. Yet, our little president plays a blind eye to these problems. Her compatriot, ethnic Chinese, who has controlled all business aspect has manipulated all the essential commodity prices. The prices of commodities in the Philippince is twice with that of our neighboring countries. That is why smuggling is rampant. Even smuggling is controlled by ethnic Chinese.
Back to drugs. Our little president allowed the Filipina drug smuggles caught in China to rot in jail. She said, “That serves them right.”
The catch is this. While she sacrifice these Filipina drug smugglers whoes financiers are ethnic Chinese, she and her cohorts, DoJ Secretary Raul Gonzalez is treating the Drug Lord (primarily ethnic Chinese) scotch free.
Yes, these drug lords (ethnic Chinese) are freed, worst, they escape while in the custody of law officers!
See, how imbalance, our little president treats her own countrymen; people who allowed her to cheat in the 1994 election?
She even does not admonish the Central Bank of printing all our past presidents and heros with sleek eyes. What is she driving at? Does she want them to look like Chinese? All our currencies has artifical Chinese eyes imprinted in our presidents and heroes.
Madam little President, where is your NATIONALISM? As president, you are one of its kind.
