DAR chief, son allegedly mauls golfers [2012 edit: and now security guards, too]

[CVT]

Well, I guess that if they acted in self-defense, then that's just about it. I see no need to beat up the persons if they're indeed down and out....

how about this, the De la Pazes never knew who their adversaries were at first. the politicians didn't have bodyguards in the field. they're not allowed to do so. so without bodyguards, anybody can assume than anybody playing in the field is just as common as the other. and also, who would assume that two 20 somethings are politicians na, one is a mayor pa.

and it's not the two male de la pazes who used the umbrella, the baseball bat was introduced only after the incident in the clubhouse na. yun nga laking gulat nila when they tried to attack part II the pangandams. actually laking gulat ng lahat even the innocent golfers in the area

tsk tsk ... let's wait na lang for the valley gold admin to issue their official statement. in the meantime, medyo wag muna i-take seriously ang blog ng girl. she's not innocent in all of these pala ...

Both sides, of course, would try and take the sympathy vote. But in this case, dehadong dehado talaga ang mga dela Paz dito. Wala silang laban, sa sapakan man, o sa korte. Hindi nga nila alam kung sino nakaaway nila. kaya habang binubugbog sinabihan yung mga delaPaz ng "hindi nyo ba kami kilala?". It doesn't matter who started the fight, point is, these TRAPOs should be answerable for their crimes, and not come up with excuses such as "malaki yung kasama e, akala namin hindi 14 year old kaya binarog na rin namin!". And as "public servants", they shoudn't go around and abusing their privileges.

The valley gold administration will probably side with the Pangandamans - they did it during the incident, and they'll do it again.

By the way, the senior Pangandaman has "talked" with PGMA regarding this issue. So we all know where this is going.

Then again, what's new in all these? Ganito talaga sa Pilipinas.

^^boycott this club then if they're coming up with a one-sided investigation .

if an establishment can't serve you better, don't patronize. i always do this.

I've heard about road rage but this is simply ridiculous!!!!

But seriously, this will just become another he said/she said thing...

Let's just all sit back and "abangan ang susunod na kabanata!!!"...

Still, the politicos are not in the right position to abandon their posts in their "peaceful" province and play golf someplace they're not supposed to.

Why? The holidays? Who's running the government? Oh, nobody.

My friend is a good friend of the victims, although they're quite well off they're not the type that get into fights, they just love playing golf. I can't believe how some politicians would display such behaivior outside, those people deserve the firing squad.

liars yang mga Pangandaman...sinungaling yang mga yan... gagawin na namang bobo ang mga pinoy... 14 year old saka 18 yr old na babae lalaban sa kanila?

gagawin na naman tayong mga tanga (remember garci? fertilizer scam? abnb zte deal?) sobra na mga hayop na politicians na yan...

i hope GMA does not believe those liars(Pangandaman)... kahit man lang yun, ibigay nya ang justice na yan sa pamilya Dela Paz...

Yung DAR Chief nag dedeny eh mukhang goons naman. Di daw sila ang nag umpisa eh bugbog sarado yung tatay ng golfer. Eh sino ba nag papasweldo sa DAR Chief na yan at ang yabang nya. wala naman syang binatbat dahil puros katiwalian pa din sa DAR. Tsaka sya mag yabang pag nabigyan na nya ng magandang buhay ang mga magsasaka.

Dapat mag pakumbaba pa siya. Bakit ganito sa Pilipinas kung sino ung na sa posisyon kala mo pag aari na nila ang Pilipinas, (example mga politicina pinapangalanan ang mga Gov't properties) taps kala mo kung sinong umasta.

btw, i have no right to say this earlier. i'm way out of line. and i apologize for saying this in a public forum.

you don't need to apologize. government officials are always under the excruciating scrutiny via the bar of public opinion. they must be beyond reproach so to speak.
