Especially for my faithfull Reader's and our media Friends.
Okay friends especially those in media..........
I would rather you hear straight from the horses mouth.
I was rather appalled /Mystified/hurt as well as my children and family that my column was missing out of yesterday's paper.(Not at all surprised)
My friendship with my publisher is great, he always has compliments that are very positive and encouraging for me.
I am not paid to write in the newspaper that I write for. I have income every month from the states and from the children's father.
It was my choice not to take a salary simply for the number one reason being that I asked my publisher not to take away work compensation to Boholanos who simply need the money in their own country, and that I also love to write and learn and just be able to entertain all kinds of people who I really love.
I was told that if I was to get advertisement for the paper that I would receive a commission.
Some one on the inside has borrowed approximately in the area of over P40.000.
The last time I had intrusted money to this person was done in the witness of my long time helper and friend and my daughter at the BQ foodcourt. The money was P8 thousand and it was to go as part of a down payment to be in partnership for hosting a BCCTV program about Bohol.
I had gone to BCCT to inquire about this and the person I spoke with had no ideal what was going on with me.
I also showed the promissory note that if the program was not rewarded that I would of been paid back by a certain date.
I am sure we are now two months past our date of his promise.
I have never been compensated one piso back, and when I do ask I am talked to as if I am the worst person in the world and that I am a foreigner that we owe it to Philippine persons.
The previous other times and excuses were when he borrowed was that he had many excuses such as he was not able to pay his rent, he had a sick relative in the hospital needing help and most of this was during election time.
When the money was flowing n good to this person I was lucky at times that he would edit my write ups or works.
In this situation I wanted to trust him as a coworker and friend.
Then the complaints started to come in such as "I am getting a headache in editing this work and my small salary is not enough".
Doing his usual hinting that of wanted more money.
Last Sunday I had done a column on "Crab Mentality" my publisher had done the editing himself with a fine comb.
There was one word being questioned the word was "ail" all other words had been properly used and spelled.
Atty. wrote "Print it" in big letter's on the bottom of the column.
How odd when it comes out in print it looks as if tampered with to set me up as looking like some idiot.
Even the "C" was missing in the title?
IS should of been HIS that kind of error. I stopped entrusting Piso to this person and the column and write ups just kept on getting worse. (Refused to edit unless I would give him money)
Some mistakes I can honestly say were mine.
During last weekends operation of putting our paper together this person had gotten emotional on me and accused me of being just a columnist and that he was losing since I had come along?
He was losing? What nerve how ungrateful this person was to say this to me after all that he had taken and never paid me back.
My reaction was that I had slammed my fist hard on the desk in front of him and said "Your losing? What about the P40.thousand and add some you never paid me back your an ungrateful ***#@&&%".
My youngest was with me at the time she is eight and she is smart.
I went to my publisher's office on my own and explained what had gone on. I am not one to rat I normally can tolerate a high level of patience when it comes to dealing with certain types of persons.
I was told things in confidential from my publisher but it was things he had told me before and things I have heard before from others as well. God only knows why I defended this person always then he is so plastic.
My publisher was not to happy when I told him my work is not getting edited because of my not entrusting money to this person any more.
I had also mentioned that the person also insulted him in a column last week. My publisher grabbed the paper really fast and read what had been written about him?
He was then called to the office of publisher and was asked about the comment in the previous weeks column and went on to tell him he would not tolerate such.
My 8 years old daughter muttered "SIP SIP" under her breath as he excused himself out of the office, my publisher just smiled as if she is right.
The publisher was not happy about being insulted in his paper by some one whom he is trying to help.
After editing my column I took it up stairs to the office with my publishers instructions written on it to "Print It".
The next day when in print it has about 3-4 error's?
My microsoft words would of detected such poor grammer, the publisher was great in looking for any possible error's. (What's happening?)
Anyways besides write ups you have seen me being active in going to events taking down notes and taking many pictures.
This is my hobby here you guy's.
It should be fun, and rewarding in getting to meet all kinds of nice people and make some of the sweetest friends.
This past couple of months I am not happy because of the stress given to me of this person always wanting money-money-money? (ABBA).
I had emailed my column telling about last Monday's hail experience. My column was not printed of all the columns?
My publisher did not mention to me that it was going to be discontinued. in fact he gave me permission to make a specail story about an American friend here who is helping a serious heart patient just from the goodness of his own pocket.
Did I mention one day last week this person who is behaving so ungrateful towards me asked me if I would pay his P4 thousand over phone bill and and have it reactivated?
I'm not tollerating anymore nonsense and my attitude has changed for this reason.
Why should I be so kind and do so many good deeds for people who just treat me terribly in the long run?
I was told "GOD" knows who is good and who is doing bad, and he has a way in dealing with both.
I am sorry you have read this and I am sorry for ever trusting people too much in this sittuation.
I love you all and that is why I want to inform you on what is going on.
I personally felt when looking at my newspaper yesterday that a big part of my life that makes me happy had been stripped away from me?
I am an open person, feel free to come up and say hello any time to me. I am so bruised and willing to talk openly about what has happened.
I know it is not because of my goodness for what has happened to me.
It has to do with some ones greedy and selfish ways.
Take care! :'(
