   I agree, the world has always been crazy. It is just that, only a few of us know that it has been that way. Most people, especially Filipinos tend to dismiss things they hear if they “don’t see it”.

   Stuff like this always get judged quickly as “conspiracy theories”. But, if you breath, live, and move in that world, it is different. This incident will open the eyes of many Filipinos, especially the Internet-savvy ones. This will open the eyes of the younger generation as well.

   There is another world out there. The rules are different but the Laws are still the same. “There is no one above the Law”, even Christ Jesus Himself, the ONE True God said we should follow the Law (the Constitution) [but if it is against the Law of God, then follow the Law that is above all laws - God's Law].

   Let’s give our prayers to the family.

    I first heard about this on Plurk 2 days ago, then me and a bunch of people replurked and it started spreading like wildfire. Didn’t realize it was spreading on blogs too. Then saw it on the news, I was like “I read about that!” The power of social media.

    I’m glad the issue is getting this much attention, so people will think twice before deciding to abuse their position like this.

    in this incident, the dela Pazes were first given attention by the media and add that to the fact the natural tendency of many filipinos (including me) to hold prejudice against moros, my first reaction is anger at the pangandaman.

    and i am still angry at them up to this moment. secretary and mayor pangandaman should have known better and should have acted with prudence no matter and however they were provoked. they are no ordinary citizens but persons vested with responsibility by the people.

    however, i now tend to give credence to the story of the pangandamans after my friend who happens to be a member of valley golf related his brush with the dela Pazes. and so the story goes this way:

    shortly before christmas, he was practicing his putting in one of the three putting greens in vally golf. in the other putting green is bambee de la Paz also practicing putting. mind you, this family of dela pazes are terrific golf players! all of a sudden, bambee, together with her mother fanning herself like crazy, joined my friend in his putting green, stroking the house balls here and there, oblivious to the presence of my friend. golf etiquette 101: this is not beig courteous. the same issue they used against the pangandamans. fortunately my friend is no pangandaman and so the scandal happend days later and not involved my friend. after around 30 minutes of pure arrogance and “i am a champion and who are you” attitude from bambee, she and her mother left my friend in the practice green with the 12 house balls strewn all around. etiquette 101 again: this is, again, not being couteous. the ball holders clearly bore the sign “replace after use.”

    after i heard this story of my friend, he and i thought, well, the arrogant dela Pazes met their match in the equally arrogant pangandamans.

    now, we are angry at all of them for bringing their lies to the public and wasting our time!

    Clash of ego ang nangyari.. isang mayaman at isang politico…. pang maykaya lang ang golf e… status symbol…. pati anak ni dela paz e naglalaro… gentleman’s game daw ang golf…PWE! ang asal ng mga yan e hoodlum…

    yang mga pulitikong mga yan, ang yayabang pati mga bodyguards… e sineswelduhan lang naman ng taumbayan…akala mo na kung sino.. idamay niyo pa yang mga pulis, militar, konsehal at pati hamak na barangay tanod…
    Kaya lang kung iisipin, yang mga dela Paz e mayaman din kasi(kaya afford maggolf)…tinamaan ang mga ego sa paglalaro ng golf…away ng mga mayayabang…nagpa-awa effect din na kesyo matanda na yung tatay… tapos yung anak e may hangin din sa ulo..

    gaya sa badminton sa corporate, daming mayabang(gaya ng duktor na ulol na naglalaro sa centro-inihian ko sasakyan mo gago!) at ngayon lang yata nakapaglaro ng competitive game… hindi nakakaintindi ng pagkatalo or sportsmanship…mga PWE!!!

    I believe that fighting broke out at the Valley Golf Club among the Pangandaman group and the Dela Paz group. I also believe that weapons were brought into the fray, and that blood was spilled. But I do not believe that we are hearing the whole truth about this incident.

    Because of the backlash that was generated by Bambees blog, the Pangandamans are hard put to defend themselves against a tidal wave of animosity and disgust from all sides. But the pieces of the puzzle are not yet complete, and we must realize that there are always two sides to every story. We are quick to complain and condemn, even before seeing the whole picture.

    Oftentimes, we find it easier to believe the words of a pretty lass rather than the protestations of adult men. In this particular case, we must choose between believing the accusations of a girl student athlete or the denials of a politician and a government official. Who do you think will be more believable?

    In an effort to present a more accurate view (perhaps) of what really transpired during that fateful day at the Valley Golf Club, I have created a page in my blog (http://www.thisismylife.info/is-this-the-truth/) which aims to share some information I have gathered from a separate website. I ask you to read the transcript carefully, and then to make your own conclusions regarding this issue.

    I am not spamming. It’s just that almost all the blogs I have read that talks about this incident has also posted a list of other blogs with relevant or similar posts. Therefore, I also followed those other blogs and posted my comments likewise.

    Perhaps it would not be spamming if I commented on how hateful the Pangandamans are, right?

    [...] And we call politicians “peacemakers”Dec 30, ‘08 10:25 AM for everyone I was out of town and out of the reach of communication so I was late in learning of this incident:http://vicissitude-decidido.blogspot.com/2008/12/world-is-fucked-up.htmlI don’t know how to play golf, but that is besides the story. The real world is more fucked up than you’re average movie drama. Your “your nothing but a second-rate trying hard copycat” line fails in comparison to what really happens just around the corner.The world is the most fucked up place known to man and the only thing that makes it worse – you live in a country where government officials are power hungry mindless dogs who only feed on the flesh and blood of innocent people such as the Philippines. How convenient is that?Even sports, such as golf, cannot create the peace we need. I find the word sport and this event ironic. Pathetic. The word to use is pathetic. It implies everything that is negative and must be shunned upon yet still breathes and lives in the upper balcony of our country.To beat up a 56 year old man and a 14 year old child in front of their own family was a scene directly taken from an average telenovela but when the war of words becomes a shower of blood; it is no longer suited to be a telenovela, rather, it must be a cry for justice of national proportions.We, the Philippines, talk and talk and talk how great our country is, or  was, or whatever, and we glorify ourselves as the defenders of democracy. Yet here we are, lying to ourselves that the poisonous lust of power is just a slice of your favorite cake.What is infuriating the most is that, after everything and everything that happened, the accussed defends his actions as that of “defending because he threw the first punch”. A simple apology would do but no, because he has power, he would reverse engineer the incident and would try to make it look like he was attacked. I ask you, who, in the right state of mind would, take the first punch on a man who is armed with 4 bodyguards!? And how would you make a 14-year old boy, at his age tries to be a man, cry in national television!? and this is not wowowee.We try and try to hope for a better Philippines. I used “to hope” as because a lot of our countrymen see little or no hope for our country. And here are officials who use their power for their own good, yet advertise hope in their campaigns. We want to hope, we try to hope but when we act to make hope a reality, we destroy our chances because we use our only power to elect bastards.Now, how do we create change?Original Post:http://vicissitude-decidido.blogspot.com/2008/12/world-is-fucked-up.htmlAdditional reading:http://blog.ademagnaye.com/2008/12/27/the-world-has-always-been-crazy-we-just-dont-notice-it-mayor-b…http://aboutmyrecovery.com/2008/12/27/dar-chief-pangandaman-mayor-nasser-pangandaman-jr-in-mauling-golfers-in-antipolo/http://dine.racoma.com.ph/the-internet/mayor-nasser-pangandaman-jr-son-of-dar-chief-in-mauling-golfers-in-antipolo/http://www.filipinovoices.com/impunity-and-golfand finally, digg it:http://digg.com/people/Politician_mauls_56_year_old_and_14_year_old_on_golf_courseLet the power of the internet guide us to justice.
