Dela Paz expelled, DAR chief suspended

MANILA, Philippines -- The board of directors of the Valley Golf and Country Club in Antipolo City has expelled businessman Delfin dela Paz, suspended Agrarian Reform Secretary Nasser Pangandaman Sr. for two years and banned their children from the golf course in connection with a brawl last month.

"A letter form the board informed us that we have been expelled," Dela Paz confirmed.

Dela Paz said the same letter he got also stated Pangandaman's two-year suspension and the ban on his sons Hussein and Nasser Jr., the mayor of the Masiu, Lanao del Sur. Dela Paz's children Bambee and Bino were also banned from playing in the club.

The Dela Pazes and the Pangandamans have filed charges and counter-charges against each other with the Antipolo Prosecutors' Office, over the fight on the golf course that hogged the headlines for days.

Valley Secretary Teofilo Abejo confirmed the board's decisions in a press conference later.

The elder Dela Paz was expelled for disorderly conduct in instigating the brawl. Pangandaman Sr. was suspended only because he was not directly involved in the melee. He, however, was deemed accountable for the disorderly conduct of his guests (in this case, his sons), hence, the suspension.

The parties could still appeal the decision of the club, said Abejo.

Di pa ako marunong mag-golf Madame e.

Tsaka I prefer swimming as a leisure sport. Though my cousins are golfers, I never really fancied the seemingly hard sport. (small ball, big playground, expensive fees).

The Dela Paz are still playing "kawawa ung mga bata" sympathy through the media. They seem to have given up challenging their retention in Valley Golf. I guess their so called "search for truth" is muddled some where else. Next telenovela please...

Delfin de la Paz said the club’s decision was one-sided because the caddies interviewed were those of the Pangandamans.

"Yan ang malungkot, wala pong katotohanan yan [That's what saddens me. There is no truth to that]," he said.

De la Paz said that his step to move backwards when he folded the umbrella only proved that he acted in self-defense because he felt that Mayor Pangandaman was ready to pounce on him.

He also said he was "shocked" at the move to expel him, saying he was only expecting that he would only be suspended.

"How would you expect a fair result?" he said. "Na-shock ako. Hindi ako makatulog, medyo mahirap pa rin. Ang ini-expect ko lang ay suspension."

["I am shocked and I was having a hard time sleeping. I was only expecting suspension."]

De la Paz said he received a copy of the resolution Saturday night.

De la Paz said the golfing career of his son, Bino, who represents the Philippines in international golf tournaments, may be affected adversely because of the club’s recommendations that the businessman’s dependents be "banned for life."

"Ang concern ko ay naka’y Bino. Ano na ang future ng bata? Parang pinarusahan nila yung bata," De la Paz said.

["I am concerned with my son. What about the child? It’s like they punished him."]

He noted that since the mauling incident, Bino displayed loss of interest in playing golf.

"Ayaw na niya humawak ng club. Natatakot ako na mawala ang interest niya sa golf,' he said.

["Bino does not even want to hold his golf club. I am afraid he may lose his interest on golf."]

He added that they might have to now have to look for other golf courses with members willing to accommodate them.

"Once you are expelled, others may think you are a trouble maker," De la Paz said.

Still, De la Paz remained confident that the justice system will vindicate them.

"Ang NBI marunong sila [The NBI is competent]. I still have faith in the justice system," Dela Paz said.

In the meantime Mr. Dela Paz, tell your son to study hard.

Kawawa naman yan kung sa golf lang nakasalalay ang kinabukasan niya. As a father, you should have known better.

hmmm. malamang lipat kagitingan golf club ngayon yung mag-aaama.
public course yun eh. hehehehe.

Bili nalang sila ng Nintendo Wii and dun mag-golf after school

Maybe he has aspirations of his son becoming a Tiger Woods and earning millions of dollars for him.

The way he initiated the fight, if reports are accurate, is really not a good example to his son on how to focus and keep his composure in the game.

This was posted on January 15 2009 on philstar. So when did this tournament take place, before or after the brawl? It shows the son winning a gold tournament in Valley Golf. If after, I guess he still plays golf, contrary to what the dad says that the son is "traumatized".

Dela Paz, Lee cop jungolf titles
Updated January 15, 2009 12:00 AM


ANTIPOLO, Rizal – Bino dela Paz parred the first playoff hole to snatch the 2008 JAV Open Junior Golf Championship recently at the par-70 executive course of the Valley Golf and Country Club.

Dela Paz ended up in a tie with Eric Gallardo of Camp Aguinaldo on a 2-over-par 142 at the end of regulation play.

The 15-year-old Gallardo, down by six strokes at the start of the second round, made seven birdies against three bogeys to score a 4-under par 66 to tie Dela Paz and force sudden death.

But the 14-year-old Dela Paz sank a 15-foot uphill putt for par while Gallardo made a bogey. Gallardo, aside from settling for second place overall, also took the Class A crown.

Korean Jeong Hwa Lee won her first JAV Open girls crown.

Dela Paz and Lee were awarded a replica of the Perpetual Trophy and a JAV Open jacket by 2007 champion Richard Kim.

Other top finishers were (for boys) Juny Jeong (142); Marvin Mendoza (143), Jobim Carlos (144), Richard Kim (144), Remo Fueg (147), (for girls) Mi Yeon Kang (149), Demi Mak (149), Ginger Mak (150), Ann Sabater (150), Shine Lee (152).

A total of 128 junior golfers participated.

I sent one of my staff members at ''Isumbong mo kay Tulfo," Alin Ferrer, Tuesday to the Valley Golf and Country Club to investigate discreedy the much-publicized brawl in the golf course.

Alin did a very good job of sleuthing, disguising herself as a secretary to a rich boss who supposedly wanted to be a member.

There was no way Alin could have gathered information if asked her to collate as a media person since the management has ordered all employees not to talk to the media.

From her talks with waiters, umbrella girls, grass cutters and caddies, here's what Alin gathered: Delfin de la Paz. 56, deserved to be beaten up and expelled from Valley Golf.

De la Paz, according to the employees, started the fight when he slapped Mayor Nasser Pangandaman Jr. of Masiu, Lanao del Sur, with an umbrella on the buttocks.
Pangandaman took it as an insult and a heated argument ensued.

It's true the Pangandamans overtook the De la Pazes on one hole, but they had asked for permission from 14-year-old Bino, one of the club's umbrella girls said.
The De la Pazes, the umbrella girl said, were taking too long on a hole that the Pangandamans were waiting to use after the De la Pazes. But the elder De la Paz ap-parently didn't know Bino gave the permission and confronted the Pangandamans.

"Nagpaalam kami sa kasama mo (I asked for permission from your companion)," Pangandaman Jr. told De la Paz, referring to Bino.

"Kanino, kanino (From whom, from whom) ?" the elder De la Paz asked Pangandaman, shouting.

Other golfers and employees pacified the two.

The quarrel didn't end at the course even after the parties had been pacified.

At the Valley Golf dining area, the elder De la Paz again confronted Mayor Pangandaman over the incident at the course.

A second altercation took place.

The employees that Alin interviewed couldn't say who dealt the first blow, but they said De la Paz traded blows
with Mayor Pangandaman and his brother Hussein.

A melee ensued with many people, including other golfers, trying to break up the fight.

The bodyguards of the Pangandamans, according to the employees, didn't take part in the assault.

"Kasama sa mga umawat yung mga security nina Pangandaman (The bodyguards took part in pacifying)," said a waiter.

The employees could not tell who hit Bino, who was bleeding on the right ear.

But they reiterated the Pan-gandaman bodyguards never took part in attacking the De la Pazes.

"Mayabang naman kasi si De la Paz, nagka-aregtuhan na gusto pang makipag-away (De la Paz was arrogant, everything had been settled but he still looked for a fight)," said another waiter.

All the employees Alin talked with were one in saying De la Paz deserved to be expelled for starting the fight.

"Dapat lang sa kanya yun, mayabang siya (He deserved to be expelled because he was arrogant)," said a caddy.

A waiter who took part in the conversations with Alin at the restaurant nodded his head in approval.

Most of the employees who talked with Alin had nodding good to say about the elder De la Paz, one describing him as "matapobre" (snooty), and another as "mainit ang ulo" (hotheaded).

I have no reason to doubt Alin, who's been with me two years after she obtained her bachelor of arts in Creative Writing from the University of the Philippines (UP) in 1995.
From what Alin told me, I apologize to the Pangandamans for the harsh words I've said about them in this space.

But I still fault the Pangandamans—Agrarian Reform Secretary Nasser Sr. in particular—for not exercising maximum patience with the hot-headed DelaPaz.

i heard that dad and son tandem of the DAR secretary are somehow involved in some smuggling activities

Lanao del Sur Rep. Nasser Pangandaman got down from his car when security guard Albert Gemillan flagged it down at the gate of Miranila Homes in Quezon City for having an expired village car sticker at past 10 a.m. on Wednesday.
Without saying a word, the congressman allegedly punched Gemillan in the face.
Pangandaman’s bodyguards, who were in another car, reportedly got down from their car with guns drawn.
Shocked, the poor guard ran and sought refuge at the subdivision’s clubhouse.
Later, Gemillan’s supervisor at Northern Star Security Agency accompanied the guard to the congressman’s house at nearby Tierra Pura subdivision.
And what do you know: Gemillan was ordered to write a letter of apology to the congressman!
The poor guy apologized, but for what—for doing his job?
So the next time you run into the congressman and his bodyguards, you know what to do.
Failing to recognize him might lead to disastrous consequences.

AFAIK, kamag-anak din nito yung naka-Porsche na nakaenkwentro ng security guard sa Ayala Technohub.

Saan sa Tierra Pura ang bahay niyan? Mira Nila and TP are next to each other. These villages are strict about enforcing security rules because the residents pay their association dues to get the kind of privacy and security they want. The sticker only costs Php300/village. Wala bang pera ang tongressman na iyan?

[jave]

With three strikes, why does anybody believe in this idiot again?

Ewan ko dyan. This idiot should be happy nga since he knows the village is protecting its residents.
