Suspected arsonists attempted to put to torch the residence of radio commentator Kagawad Roberto "Batchoy" Alba early dawn yesterday in outskirt barangay San Isidro, this city.

Alba who is a barangay kagawad in Poblacion 2 anchors the top-rated "Pulso" radio program over dyRD.

PO3 Edwin Torres, Jr of the city PNP found the left-front fender of his Toyota Avanza burned as well as a portion of the bamboo fence near the car. A water hose and rags near the car also got burned.

SFO2 Cirilo Gamba also arrived at the scene to conduct separate probe on the incident.

Alba said it was his house help who called his attention past 6 o'clock yesterday morning regarding the damaged fence as well as the burnt portion of his red Avanza.

He recalled hearing the barking of his dogs at around 3 a.m. yesterday.

"It was pure intimidation and harassment that the suspects did to me," the radio commentator said while asserting that the incident will not stop him from crusading against bad governance.

Batchoy is a really nice person. Who has a great heart and a true concern for the people in the community.
Batchoy has served time living in the states and knows how people should be treated.

During the holiday Batchoy is on leave from any radio programming that he does on his morning show "pulso" he told me that he wants to be off off the airwaves during the holidays to avoid being negative for the listener's and for himself.

I agree who wants to hear about the down trodens of life during the holiday's?

Who ever is doing this to Batchoy needs to stop and think about if this was someone in their family who was being harrased, hazed or threatend and having properties destroyed?
I bet the one doing this action to Batchoy would not like it one bit!

Now its settled Mike.

The Bureau of Fire Protection has just released its after-investigation reports about the fire that damaged property of the commentator Bachoy Alba.

BFP said a bonfire earleir which was not totally extinguished and the kidling left unattended was the cause of the "arson" that Bachoy immediatelt brought to the radio studio.

And donations, from poor Boholanos like us who were made to believe by him that it was the work for some hitmen came pouring in.

Now, i would have wanted him to release the same report to the same program he used to malign innocent people he slanted during his programs.

But, obviously he would never do that.

he would rather make sure that the BFP was wrong. How he would do that, he has a yearlong of a radio program to devise his ploy.

And then we would believe. as always.

t, is he a relative?
