The victim of the mauling, according to the radio broadcaster, was 76-year-old Tony Genato, a National Basketball Hall-of-Famer who played in the 1952 and 1956 World Olympics in Helsinki and Melbourne, respectively, alongside greats like Carlos Loyzaga, Ramoncito Campos, Paeng Hechanova and Eddie Lim.
A product of San Beda College, Genato was also a member of the fabled RP team that took the bronze in the 1954 World Championships in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and the gold in the Manila Asian Games that same year.
“Tony has brought so much glory and honor to our country, it is so sad that a man like him would be treated with such cruelty and indignity,” said the broadcaster who gave a sketchy account of the incident.
“It happened on the road, at the corner of Gilmore and 4th Avenue daw. Dahil traffic and mukhang nagmamadali daw itong nambugbog, he went against the flow, sumalubong. Nung makasalubong daw si Tony, hindi pinagbigyan. Nagkasigawan. Nilusob ng driver si Tony while he was still seated in the car at pinagbububugbog. If you want a complete report, go to the Galas Police precinct where it was filed,” he suggested.
I did more than that. I never got to talk with Genato personally because a message machine always took my calls, but I was able to talk with some people close to him who requested anonymity.
According to our source, the perpetrator’s brand new black Mitsubishi Montero was so heavily tinted, Tony did not see that there were two people inside the vehicle.
“Mag-ama pala ang nasa loob. Yung father, mga 60 years old, yung anak, mga 33. It was the son who first came down to attack Tony. Binuksan yung car door at pinagsusuntok. Pinagpunit-punit pa ang shirt. Tapos bumaba din yung tatay. I can’t remember kung sino sa kanila ang may dala nung bakal na lock para sa steering wheel, but he used this to smash the windows of Tony’s car -- a 1996 Lancer, tapos binato sa kanya yung bakal. All the while, walang nagawa si Tony because he was taken by surprise and he was unable to unfasten his seatbelt. Tony was bleeding by the time they were through with him, and some of his fingers were fractured,” our source related.
Luckily, the perpetrators were apprehended as they were cruising Balete Drive after leaving the scene of the crime. They were brought to the Galas police precinct. Police sources identified them only as a certain Llorente, a lawyer, and his son. Genato had to go to the Jose Reyes Hospital for treatment and to secure a medico-legal report. By the time he got home tired, weary and aching all over, it was already 2 a.m.
“How could they have beaten up a helpless old man, pinagtulungan pa?” said our source.
Genato is suing the Llorentes for damage to property and attempted murder.

Makakahanap din ng katapat yan. I hope they pay dearly for what they did to the poor guy.

October 20th, 2005 10:09 AM #12hindi po ako nakaka-alam pero sa tingin ko as long as you're not the one who initiated or instigated the trouble and you have a permit-to-carry a gun and you were attacked you have the right to defend your self and use your gun against your attacker.

October 22nd, 2005 11:36 AM #15it will depend on who iniated the scuffle. if you did not initiate it then it could be self defense lang. however if you iniated it even if they were the first one to hit you, you would still find yourself liable. why? since knowing that you are carrying a deadly weapon you should have avoided the scuffle in the first place since you have the capacity to make the scuffle into a deadly encounter. carrying a licensed gun does not necessarily free you from legal liability even in case of a self defense. you should be able to prove that you AVOIDED the scuffle and did not iniated it, only then will you be free of legal liabilities.
