Diego is right---no one, not even Villar's camp, could accommodate ALL pleas for HELP. Yet, the problem can be solved through customer relations management. That, I think, is what caused this problem.

And if you share Reyna Elena's view, good for you.

I am not attacking Senator Villar. That's the least I would do. This entry aims to illuminate those in his staff to be MORE PRO-ACTIVE instead of treating complainants like that. those in the netsphere who are listed in Villar's online media list should HOLD THEIR HORSES and solve the problem instead of employing squid tactics.

Let the traditional media expose them, not me. That shows you that this entry IS NOT SOME PIECE OF ARTICLE that aims to character assassinate somebody. If I want to magnify this thing, FV is the place I would not place this article. And you're right....BETTER FOR VILLAR OR HIS STAFF TO INVESTIGATE THIS INSTEAD OF THEM OUTRIGHTLY TELLING EVERYBODY HERE THAT I HAVE POLITICAL LEANINGS OR WHAT HAVE YOU. This entry is NOT about me. It's about this alleged issue which SOME OFWS have against Mr. Villar. And you're absolutely right---THOSE WHO WANT TO DEFEND VILLAR HERE SHOULD TAKE IT FROM DIEGO--the defense is simple---" I don't think the Villar camp would be able to help every OFW in need. There are tons of them". See? That's the defense, NOT attacking the writer who wrote the Truth.

Don't accuse somebody of being paid hack just because I wrote something disparaging against your preferred candidates. And, mind you, I am NOT character assassinating anybody. I am just writing my opinion. Besides, I am not in the habit of writing articles for or against any perceived clients, as you so proffer. Stick to the issue. Don't stray.

They need to go to their records and lift this from there. By the way, this is NOT an opinion-piece. Rather, this is something of a public service. These people sent me an email which I wrote here. I expect Villar's minions to go here and dispute this. One piece of advice though---they better be ready and check their staff before they start denying this simple complaint.

It just validated what BeniGno is saying--that those who read his blog pieces have vacuous minds. those who usually write this way are those who have'nt even taken part in any of the historical events that shaped the very lives of every Filipino in recent History. Hence, don't expect them to appreciate the sacrifices of people who risked their lives and futures so that people like BeniGno would be able to go to Australia to work.

Mar, yes, got my vote before but I'm slowly distancing myself from the political side of things and having a position of neutrality. The more i analyze and write about these presidentiables, the more convinced I am of the necessity of having a Council of State instead of pushing these trapos or typos to an election.

Driving a padyak or sikad is not the way to do it because it symbolizes something else---underdevelopment. yes, it could be a good vehicle to gain sympathy votes from the C-D class, but would it? I really doubt it simply because Mar does not ride the padyak himself everyday. Malayo sa realidad yung ad.
