You wanna pick up a fight? Be my guest

By Boy Guingguing
BGLante Column, Sunday Post


The microphone-friendly former mayor of Panglao Dr. Doloriech Dumaluan went to town last week to malign the integrity of this BGlante. Tit for tat? I love this game.

Before this BGlante goes any further, let me assure the good mayor that anything bad thrown at my direction is always welcome. Nothing personal. Truth to tell, tirades of the false kind always drive our adrenalin level to new heights. So, it is always a big deal if people of Dr. Dumaluan's kind do make our day right. You wanna pick up a fight over the air lanes? Be my guest.

If those who listened to Dumaluan's tirades thought that I was hurt, you better think again.

After having been subjected to all kinds of brickbats, barbs, innuendoes, insinuations, malicious imputations, derogatory statements, demolition jobs, libelous remarks etc., for the last 30 years, there really is nothing new about our checkered life as a mediaman.

This BGlante had been through to the worst verbal attacks ever known to human kind and yet we survive as always with flying colors.

If our information were correct, the good doctor even went to the extent of insinuating that we are one worst enemy of municipal mayors.

In one of our polite repartees to Dumaluan's charges during our early morning radio program last week, we said without batting an eyelash, that all the former mayor will do is see for himself if not majority of all municipalities of Bohol are subscribers of our newspaper, The Bohol Sunday. The subscription copies range from as low as 15 to as high as 100 per municipalities per issue. And this subscription arrangement was going on for years already. That alone will demolish any insinuation of a bad blood between this BGlante and Bohol mayors.

Not only that. If Dumaluan's eyesight is not betraying him, may be can pore over the files of our newspapers if not 90% of all municipal ordinances are printed in the Bohol Sunday Post.

What drove Dumaluan's goat when he was frothing in the mouth castigating us of our so-called "sins of omission" was our civic duty to file a civil action against his failure to file a Statement of Assets and Liabilities (SALN) when he was mayor of Panglao.

The former town mayor took offense of our civic mindedness. One of my strong defenses against the malicious attacks of the former mayor is that any citizen of this benign republic has its own civic duty. When ex-mayor Dumaluan ran for public office and won, did he not swear to the Panglao electorate to perform his civic duty of serving the people? That exactly was my motive in filing the legal suit against Dumaluan before the Office of the Ombudsman for violation of Republic Act No. 6713 otherwise known as the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act.

After all is said and done, this BGlante's advice to the good mayor is that if he feels offended why a case was filed against him, all he has to do is avail of the legal remedies accorded to his defense.

The ex-mayor was also quoting falsehoods known in legal parlance as "fruit of a poisoned tree". He mentioned of some financial shenanigans in our stint as an insurance executive more than 30 years ago. If the good mayor can produce any paper trail indicating any wrongdoing on our part, we challenge him to produce the same. I will offer a free space in my paper to accommodate any damaging information against this BGlante.

Our hunch is that he was being mislead of this information by someone who turned out to be the most polluted source hereabouts.
