expunge pangandaman

a friend of mine gave me a link to a blog entry where it describes a politician and his friends physically beating up a 56-year old man and a 14-year old boy. from the blog entry, it appears that the mayor of masiu city, lanao del sur -- mayor nasser pangandaman, jr., -- over an altercation on which group of golfers goes ahead of the other, threw the first punch towards a 56-year old man.

a government official throwing the first punch.

and the father of the puncher, the secretary of the department of agrarian reform, who was present at the scene, didn't anything.

does that look like the actions of government officials to you? to anyone?

one was punching out an older man while the father of the one throwing the punches just looked on.

as far as i can tell, these actions doesn't fit any official of the philippine government. these people do not deserve to be in government and therefore i call for these people to be expunged from government.

that is, unless the philippine government actually condones this kind of behavior from its officials. then that would be truly unjust and tragic.

nakakahiya. people actually voted for this guy. by hitting an elder he disrespected the people who voted for him. he broke their trust. is this what your father taught you?

and to the father who just looked, how can i trust your judgment when i know that you were witness to an injustice and you didn't do anything about it? how many other injustices have you witnessed that you kept to yourself. nakakahiya. you do not belong in the cabinet. you and your son do not belong in this country.
