Change court.......
IN WHAT may be considered as his formal break-up from the Dejaresco Family-owned Bohol Chronicle and radio station DYRD, City Mayor Dan Neri Lim launched yesterday his Saturday radio program "Ang Mayor sa Dakbayan" over station DYTR and aired from 7:30 to 10 in the morning.
"Soft launching," the mayor said in jest while entertaining his supporters after his radio program
"We will have a more formal and elaborate launching next Saturday," the mayor promised. The mayor "pulled out" his regular Saturday program Mayor's Report from station DYRD after a falling out of friendly relations with the brothers Bingo and Peter Dejaresco.
The "scathing" 2-page editorial of the Bohol Chronicle last Sunday broke the proverbial camel's back that prompted Mayor Lim to relay to editor in chief Bingo Dejaresco the message that he would never set foot on the premises of DYRD again, ever. The mayor was supposed to answer the editorial if not of the timely intervention of Mons. Jeffrey Malanog who is a close friend of the mayor.
"Ila na man kong gibuyboy so di na ko mobalik didto," was the mayor's answer when asked why he transferred to DYTR. "Tungod ni Mons. Jeffrey Malanog, ceasefire sa mi. Dili sa ko mo-discuss sa akong tubag sa editorial sa Chronicle," the mayor said. "Madugo" was how a close associate of the mayor described the mayor's answer.
Over calls and text messages expressing full support on his decision to transfer his radio program, the mayor told his listeners that he would continue to strive to serve them to the best of his ability over station DYTR. He was assisted by Ted Ayeng and Atty. Salvador Diputado, regular anchors of Kwentas Klaras.
Libel charge...
Meanwhile, the Bohol Chronicle could be facing Libel charges from an environmental engineer who was portrayed as "lawyering for the 38 connectors." Sources told the TIMES yesterday afternoon that Engr. Cecil Corloncito felt maligned and humiliated and said he would file Libel charges against the Bohol Chronicle.
The Chronicle came out with a story in its October 5, 2008 issue entitled "No socio-political sense" accusing Corloncito of lawyering for the 38 illegal connectors in the city. The Chronicle was reacting to Corloncito's Letter to the Editor where he said, "if we call the 38 "connected" establishments illegal, I believe the non-connected water users (of course wastewater dischargers, too) are already "fugitives", including the very establishment Bohol Chronicle is operating."
A copy of Corloncito's email was furnished the TIMES yesterday. Corloncito, the city environment consultant, is also the Technical Project Manager of the Environment Regulatory Authority in Australia.
