EVEN RANDY DAVID is SCARED of the TULFOS!!!

(Being a portion of a 7-page paper entitled “Philippine Media Will Always Be in DEEP SHIT” distributed to delegates of PublishAsia 2007, a convention of several hundred Asian Publishers held at the Manila Hotel on March 27-28, 2007. It is a proof that the TULFO Brothers have succeeded to strike FEAR into the hearts of 99.999% of Filipino Media Professionals, Journalists, Columnists, Broadcasters and TV Anchors)

***

In February 2006, I chanced upon Randy David dining in a restaurant. Because it was the first time I saw him in person, I waited for over an hour for him to finish his business with his lunch companions before I approached him to give him a copy of my book, “The PRESIDENT and Her MEN KISS the ASS of RAMON TULFO.’ an expanded version of my first book “Liars, Intimidators and Extortionists in Philippine Media.”.

On handing the copy of the book, I told him the following, slowly pronouncing each word: “I hope you are not like all those media men I gave copies of this book, afraid even just to mention its title.”

A few days after that meeting, I emailed Mr. David the following: “I would not take it against you if you are like the scores of columnists to whom I gave copies of my book who ignored the existence of my book.”

On the same day I emailed Mr. David, he sent me the following reply: “Dear Mr. Santos, Thank you for giving me a copy of your book, I have started to read it, while trying to understand the depth of the anger from which it seems to spring. I respect your feelings, but I do not, as a matter of policy, write about things that I cannot personally verify or of which I have no personal knowledge. Moreover, I do not review books in my Inquirer column, Randy David.”

I COULD HARDLY BELIEVE THAT RANDY DAVID WOULD SEND ME SUCH EMAIL!!!

In trying to hide his fear of the TULFO Brothers, Randy David became like the TULFOS: BOBO and LIAR!!! How SAD, How PATHETIC!!!

Let me explain. Randy David could have avoided sending me that email that betrayed his Fear of the TULFOS had he written the following:

“Once I went to a small book store and I saw a very interesting book entitled “The PRESIDENT and Her MEN KISS the ASS of RAMON TULFO” written by an author with a feminine name, Ning Santos. I wanted to buy a copy but since I did not have enough cash, I left the store without the book. The next day, I sent a messenger to buy the book but was told that the store just sold its last copy an hour earlier. I really wanted to get hold of a copy of that book. A week later, while having lunch with some friends at the Club Filipino, I was very lucky to receive a copy of the book, from the author himself, still very macho-looking despite his advanced age.

“I will not reveal the book’s contents. I just want my readers to get hold of a copy of that book and find out for themselves if Ning Santos is believable in his assertions that Ramon TULFO and Raffy TULFO are not only Super, Super Liars and Super, Super BOBOS but also are Extortionists; and that REY LANGIT is a SMUGGLER and that Philippine Star Managing Editor ANTONIO F. KATIGBAK was able to fool Max Soliven into appointing him to three positions in Philippine Star, positions having the most opportunities for Extortion.”

Had Randy David written in his Inquirer column the above, he would have acceded to my request and fulfilled the message of his email without revealing his fear of the TULFOS which showed he is like them, BOBOS and LIARS..

Why do I call Randy David like the TULFOS, Bobo and Liar, when he is a very learned University of the Philippines Professor, his Inquirer columns revealing the unquestionable vastness and depth of his scholarship and erudition?

Randy David said:”…I do not, as a matter of personal policy, write about things that I can not personally verify.”

Mr. David should be the last person to state this. How many hundreds of assertions has he made in his column which he expected his readers to believe? He made these assertions expecting his readers to accept them as gospel truths simply because he said so, meaning that they do not need to be verified. Why do most of us spend many years, some as many as 20 to 30 years, of our lives in classrooms? Is it not to imbibe knowledge discovered the past thousands of years and handed to us from generation to generation so that we do not have “to reinvent the wheel” all over again? Truly, Randy David is not being truthful when he emailed me “…I do not, as a matter of personal policy, write about things that I can not personally verify.”

I want to state here that Randy David owes me nothing, that he is not obliged to acknowledge the existence of my book.

I just want to state here that the reason he gave for not being able to accede to my very simple request is not and cannot be the real reason.

As to my calling Randy David “Bobo,” his “Moreover, I do not review books in my Inquirer column” (his premise) could not be a valid reason for not acceding to my very simple request (non sequitur conclusion) that is, to acknowledge the existence of my book by at least mentioning its title, as I have demonstrated above. His reasoning-conclusion is a non- sequitur. In the school where I studied, students who reason and make non sequitur conclusions from whatever premises they posit are called Bobos.

BUT What TRULY SADDENS me is that Satan, through his sons, the TULFO Brothers very active and very powerful in Philippine Media, has SUCCEEDED in scaring 99.999% of professional FILIPINO journalists including an otherwise very intelligent and brave man, into a cowering LIAR and BOBO. To top it all, Satan has successfully demonstrated his power over Philippine Society by showing that he could make the PRESIDENT and Her MEN STOOP VERY LOW to KISS the ASS of his favorite son, RAMON TULFO.
