Public patience for and exasperation over that mauling incident at Antipolo’s previously uncontroversial Valley Golf and Country Club can be described as growing inversely proportional given the other events of greater import facing our society.
More and more Filipinos are losing jobs here, and abroad in the wake of the financial and economic crisis precipitated by unmitigated greed on Wall Street.
Going largely unreported in local mainstream media are the indiscriminate termination of contractual call center attendants in the Ortigas area and other BPO hubs.
You have the festering communist and Moro secessionist insurgencies.
So what we have is an inordinate amount of Pinoy blogosphere bandwidth being devoted to what is now a ‘He Says, She Says’ legal-and-battle-for public sympathy show playng for more thank two weeks now.
You can almost hear people shouting, if not cursing, “give us a break from your tirades and counter tirades.”
Now that the feuding clans have filed their respective criminal complaints against each other methinks we should begin living our own lives again.
One remaining loose end as far as this corner is concerned is just how the misconduct-by-inaction of Secretary Pangandaman is awaiting resolution.
It behooves the honorable secretary himself to demand that he be given a chance to clear his name once and for all if he is going to stay as a member of President Arroyo’s official family.
Zooming out, it’s perhaps time to allow the legal processes to fully kick in and leave this issue for the courts to settle.

A pinoygolfer commenter posted a translation of “Del Fin de la Paz” as “The End of Peace.” But what could really be “The Spark of the Brawl?”
If “playing through” is already hard enough to accomplish as it is so touchy a task in a gentleman’s game of golf…
…what more if one is “overtaken” – even if it is false?
What is more resentful than having a situation wherein champion golfers in a flight are being overtaken without so much as a very obvious by-your-leave by the offender?
Kortesiya lang, siya nga?
Now, who’s in a better position to initiate settlement talk? Pastrana side or Fortun?
Tigilan na sana ang pataasan…’di ba?
Ding,
I think it is FV’s overzealous coverage of the antipolo mauling incident that has catapulted the incident into the public arena and had blown it out of proportion. Blame yourself and your fellow FV regulars. :)
jcc,
Perhaps you should join FV to temper its “zeal” but I guess you have resumed your California practice :)
ding,
