One-Sided

One-Sided

Reading all these blog entries and comments about the Pangandaman-Dela Paz issue is giving me a headache, but I sort of lost the migraine for a while with this bit from GMANews.TV:

Agrarian Reform Secretary Nasser Pangandaman Sr. on Friday said his son, Nasser Jr., has already filed a libel case against the daughter of Delfin de la Paz over her blog entry about the golf course brawl in Antipolo City last December 26.

The DAR chief said his son, who is the mayor of Masiu, Lanao del Sur, filed Thursday the case against Bambina “Bambee” de la Paz. He said his son found the blog entry, which heavily criticized the Pangandamans, libelous.

Hmmm…

I think that my takes on the Valley Golf brawl have been on the fair side.  I’m not saying that I wrote an objective and balanced presentation on the incident and highlighting golf as an excess of governance, but it is, for all intents and purposes, one-sided.  The same holds true for Bambee dela Paz’s version of the incident: it’s one-sided.  Blogs and forum posts that defend the Pangandamans also happen to be one-sided.
