Bros, just to set things straight, I have nothing personal against the TGP writers and editors (I don't even know them, and heck, I bought the magazine, didn't I?). Bad trip lang na sobrang dami na nga ng mga undisciplined motorists sa kalye, then this supposedly educated person chose to be one himself. And his editor-in-chief allowed his article to go to print. No time to proofread?

The TGP EIC apologized BUT he himself debased his apology by coming up with the lame excuse that Mr. Ilagan was just using his own distinctive writing style to inject a sense of urgency in the article. In short, the EIC insulted the intelligence of TGP readers and forumers. Because it was clear that the piece was written like a diary entry; no metaphors there, unless you consider the sentence "Out of our obssession to win, I (the driver) ignored some traffic rules along the routes" a metaphor (a metaphor for what?). See pics:





Sana ganito na lang sinabi nya: "I'm sorry. It's my fault. I'm to blame. The buck stops here. I'll do my best to prevent things like this from happening again." Di na sana siningitan ng isang stupid alibi. E di tapos na sana.

But maybe the EIC is not man enough to own up to his mistakes. Bihira yata talaga dito yung boss na hindi naghahanap ng scapegoats pag pumapalpak sila.
