Pangandamans in Mauling Incident
Agrarian Reform Secretary Nasser Pangandaman Sr’s son, Nasser Pangandaman Jr., mayor of Masiu, Lanao del Sur, and his five armed bodyguards reportedly beat up a 14-year-old boy and his 56-year-old father at a golf course in Antipolo on Friday. Worse, the secretary who was with the group just watched as his son & the bodyguards mauled the poor boy and his dad. The unfortunate incident has prompted the government to expand its ceasefire agreement during the holidays to include powerful Muslim politicians exhibiting rebel-like behavior.

Rumors say Secretary Pangandaman is taking a leave from his post as chief of agrarian reform until such time he has reformed his own son.
Nasser Pangandaman Jr. – mayor of Masiu, Lanao del Sur, reportedly mauled a 14-year-old boy and his 56-year-old father at a golf course in Antipolo on Friday, December 26… to which some 75 kids in Lanao Del Sur who heard the news said, “Bakit nang magpunta kami sa bahay ni Ninong, sabi no’ng maid out of the country daw?”
Pacquiao Recognized
International sports magazine Sports Illustrated, British newspaper The Sun and the World Boxing Council as well two boxing websites – www.8CountNews.com and www.sportinglife.com all named Manny Pacquiao as boxer of the year. In close second was Nasser Pangandaman Jr.
2008 MMFF 
Reports on the ongoing Metro Manila Film Festival say that the movie “Magkaibigan” is trailing seven other entries in terms of box office revenues. Even the animated film “Dayo” is earning more… which means Filipinos prefer watching cartoons over Jinggoy.
Forecast: Filipino of the Year
The Philippine Daily Inquirer usually announces its Filipino of the Year in the second week of January. My fearless forecast? Manny Pacquiao. He’s made the biggest positive impact on Filipinos for 2008. Besides he’s been reaping awards from various sports organizations and other sports websites, who are we to deprive him of a well-deserved recognition. With all the odds stacked against him, he stuck to his gameplan to embarrass future hall of famer, Oscar “The Swollen Boy” De La Hoya. So shame on you Al. S Mendoza! (Ay, parang may poot!)
And cheers to you Manny, and here’s hoping you’ll stay away from politics in 2010.

Bully na, sinungaling pa. Lol.
Pero kaya napapasama lalo mga Muslim eh. Hmf.
I soooo agree. Manny should be “Filipino of the year”.
Natatawa pa rin ako sa “swollen boy”. My US clients congratulated us when Pacman won over Dela Hoya. I mentioned that “swollen boy” to them. I just hope I didn’t offend them. Pero dun lang kse ako nakabawi sa US clients kong pasaway. *giggles*
hello mr. professional heckler. i like your joke about this erring politico. the daughter and sister of the victims study in the ateneo. i saw her blog.

all i can say is. dapat gantihan ang mga pulitikong to sa eleksyon. nakakabanas.
Big year for you too bro. Winning an award for the Professional Heckler and getting more and more fans for every political satire you dish out. more power brod! norms
I wouldn’t put my hopes up of seeing Manny as Filipino of the Year in the Philippine Daily Inquirer which he so strongly deserves. Filipinos have a twisted sense of admiration. Take Lea Salonga for example. Before she got into Miss Saigon, she was so underrated and even when she got it, she still had more fans outside the country. Mas sikat pa sa kanya yung ibang “stars” nun lalo na pag may loveteam. I bet if it’s a votation process, a controversial celebrity/politician would have a stronger chance of bagging the Filipino of the Year Award instead of Manny which is totally unfair and stupid.
Kaya ‘di tayo umaasenso eh!
Hey, Heckler! Thanks for this post! I love that you bestowed the “second boxer of the year” to Nasser Pangandaman Jr.!
Hope you can do a follow-up on this one…this time about his dad’s crappy apology. Will be looking forward to that!
Hoping for more brilliant Heckler posts in 2009!
i’m so pissed off with this story..why do politicians act like gods and go treating other people like crap? don’t they realize that they should be the one bowing down to ordinary citizens of our country? we, the taxpayers. are the ones feeding these bullies of politicians( except for those very few who honestly do their job). they get( or steal) whatever money they have now from us naman ah. so why act like kings or queens when in fact, they are the paupers? most of my foreigner friends still wonder how politicians from the Philippines live such lifestyle when the salary they are getting is not that much. really..dapat sa mga bullies na to tirahin ng golf balls sa plaza ng Masiu, Lanao del Sur!
Just the Facts on Valley Incident
“(T)he tales told by both camps are miles apart. Thus, how can one know the truth except when there are other witnesses to corroborate their stories?”
by Ducky Paredes
The Philippine Blogosphere (a coined word that has come to mean the prevailing opinion on a particular issue as reflected by bloggers on the internet) has been agog over an incident in Valley Golf and Country Club in which one participant reported that her kid brother and her 56-year old father were beaten senseless by a cabinet secretary’s son – a small town mayor in Lanao – over nothing. In fact, according to her blog, this senseless incident had her and her brother pleading for mercy while these thugs beat them to a virtual pulp.
Upon reading this, since Malaya had no issues during the Christmas-New Year break, I wrote a short piece on a golfer’s reflections on the incident in my blog (www.duckyparedes.com/blogs) based on what I had heard as a member of Valley.
Now, from testimony of witnesses to the incident – caddies of both parties, the marshal, the starter and other club personnel – to the investigators, I am clearer on what happened.
What I narrate ignores the testimonies of the so-called victims (Delfin, Bambi and Dino De la Paz) or the alleged ruffians (Secretary Nasser Pagandaman of DAR and Mayor Nasser Pangandaman, Jr. and four other male companions) where these have no corroborating witnesses.
Here are the facts:
On December 26, at or around 1:00 p.m., there were two flights from the Pangandamans followed by one of the De la Paz family. Since there were two late players in the Pangandaman flights, they teed off with three players on each flight. Following them was a flight of two players – Bambee and Dino – with the father walking with them.
On reaching the green of Hole No. 3, Delfin was surprised to see two golf carts with two players getting off at Hole No. 4. (The other golf cart carried their caddies and was driven by a grounds marshal.)
Delfin accosted them. Mayor Nasser, Jr. explained that they were part of the group ahead and were only joining them a bit late. When Delfin told him that they would be five players in their flight, the Mayor explained that there would only by four of them, since one of the players in their second flight would move up to the first flight to accommodate the two new players.
Thus, they teed off.
On Hole No. 5, a De la Paz caddy was sent to ask why there were five golfers in their flight. Nasser Jr. explained that there were only four and that, besides, they would let the De la Paz flight move ahead of their flight on the next hole. The caddy says that he relayed this to Delfin.
Between Hole No. 5 and 6 is a tee house where one can take refreshments. There Nasser, Jr,’s flight caught up with Secretary Nasser’s flight. The mayor asked his father to let the next flight through since they seemed in a hurry and, besides, he said that they were long-hitters and good players. They agreed on this.
When the De la Paz flight was coming in from Hole No. 5, they were waved through by the players and the caddies to the next hole beyond the tee house. The mayor decided to personally inform Delfin. He started to say that they were allowing the De la Paz flight to move ahead of both Pangandaman flights but was met by an expletive: “P—– I—M-. Sabi mo apat kayo; bakit lima kayo?”
When the mayor explained that they were only four in his flight, Delfin was further incensed: Don’t you know who I am? Are you a member here? While repeatedly stabbing Nasser, Jr. with his umbrella.
At that point, Hussein, the younger brother, joined in by punching Delfin. Bino to the rescue! He swung his driver at the mayor who parried the blow but injured his hand. Both brothers then repeatedly punched De La Paz father and son, who also fought back.
The rest of the Pangandaman group – except for the secretary and the woman companion of the mayor – tried to stop the fight and eventually succeeded.
The De la Paz group went back to the clubhouse and the Pangandamans stayed behind. No more golf for either for the rest of the day. Hussein had blood on his face from punches he received from Bino and a scratch (courtesy of Bambee).
Did Delfin need help walking? Had he been beaten to a pulp? No. In fact, he was on his cellphone, spiritedly calling for what seemed like reinforcements.
(On returning to the clubhouse, while the rest of the Pangandamans were taking dirt off their shoes, Hussein went to wash up. Unfortunately, he and Bino met up again. According to Bino, he knelt in front of Hussein to beg that he stop hurting him. According to Hussein, Bino raised his hand. He thought the boy would hit him again; so, he gave him a punch. There were no witnesses to this. I included this only to show that the tales told by both camps are miles apart. Thus, how can one know the truth the except when there are other witnesses to corroborate their stories? )
