    You never learn do you? Or you are simply a recalcitrant trouble maker.

    Produce the evidence, photographs, and witnesses and file a formal complaint.

    If you have nothing to back up your allegations, refrain from sowing disinformation. This is not a gossip column where you can simply accuse anyone of anything you can think of, because you have been instructed by your benefactors to do so.

    As I told you in my previous posts, you are stretching the patience of this site with your malicious allegations. I am not going to watch while you abuse the goodness of the webmaster by making this site a breeding ground for libel and defamation against our duly constituted authorities and legal personalities.

    I am watching you.

    If what you reported is accurate, what is the interest of the Espina Dynasty in the imprisoned Timbangan commentators that they have to play driver to the media?

    Gerry Espina Sr should know better than to show an arrogant display of “power” over the so called independent media.

    Unfortunately, I didn’t think it worked. Joey Gabieta’s article on LSDE projected neutral reporting. As matter of fact, it revealed the name of the main sponsor of Timbangan which I am now challenging these hosts to explain to the Biliranons.

    Michael Aguilos of RN need to impose the provisions of the Broadcast Code 2007 to prevent similar incidents from happening.

    You are not posting truthful observations but rather malicious allegations that you cannot substantiate. That is a big difference.

    You twist issues to make it look like the truth to sow disinformation which has only one objective: to destroy Rep Glenn Chong, his family and associates.

    Go back and review your previous posts. You may have lost track of your allegations as you seem so convince them to be true except you cannot prove it.

    For every freedom to post, there is an equal responsibility to be truthful. Judging from your numerous one directional posts, you have not been truthful in your intentions.

    Prove me wrong.

    No one has taken away your freedom to post. What I am asking you to do is stop the malicious allegations because it is sending the wrong message to the bloggers here: that it is ok to disrespect malign, libel or defame our lawful authorities.

    If you want to take the role of a fiscalizer, then speak for the truth, and substantiate your claim. You have been hurling unfounded accusations after accusations which are solely directed to Rep Glenn Chong and yet you have not filed a formal complaint. It is obvious then, that your objective is not to fiscalise but to destroy people.

    Don’t give me that “freedom” rubbish because you have abused the freedom to post by using this blog to destroy people’s reputation.

    Trust me, I, together with other concerned Biliranons will not watch you destroy any duly constituted authorities and legal personalities by your malicious mudslinging and orchestrated disinformation drives solely intended to bring them down and confused the Biliranons.

    Prove me wrong.

    Be objective and be fair with everone naman. Biliran freedom fighters (and one of them is Rep. Chong) are constantly watching the Espinas. Ang nakalisuod mo kay kahit mali mali imo arguments, magsige lang gihapon ka ug paghot, bata ka pa ug wala ka pa sa Naval since 1995 nahimong congresista ang Pawix, wala pa ka maka witness sa mga binuhatan sa tiguwang, binuhatan nga 10% kaayuhan sa lungsod ug 90% kaayuhan sa iyang bulsa, wala laing pinagkaibahan kang doc rabbit, self-enrichment ang focus, look! photo-conscius xa kaayo pag atubangan sa camera.

    I suggest that you exercise prudence in posting sweeping generalizations against the Espina family.

    Unfortunately, in spite of the much discussed allegations you have mentioned above, I believe, that the matter is in the hands of the Office of the Ombudsman. At this stage, Biliranons don’t have any concrete information as to the status of the complaint.

    As such, it will be helpful if you refrain from posting allegations you cannot personally substantiate. Lest you be accused of becoming another “Utip”.

  13. Karon nga ningbalik na ang BI.com, bantay na pod ta sa Bandwidth Briagade sa mga Bandido.

    Pamati nako ang nakaangin niini mao ang survey nga politically-motivated ba ang ambush nga nahitabo dinhi sa ato. Sulod sa dugay nga panahon, 75 percent and ningbotar ug pag-uyon. Apan sulod lamang sa pila ka adlaw, ningbalitok ang resulta. Ninglabaw na hinuon ang “No.” Apan wala gihapon mabiyai ug dako ang “Yes.”

    Sanglit banat gihapon ug botar ug “No” ang mga kasanib sa Bandido. Mao seguro to ang hinungdan sa pagtatuk-i sa BI.com. Sanglit bantay ta. Kanang daghang gipang post ni utip, apil na sa plano sa Bandwidth Brigade.

  14. Mr. Utip;

    Your accusations against Chong is obviously below the belt.
    There seem to be nothing new about it at all.
    You seem to be a broken radio or what..
    I can’t believe that there is a guy like you who seem not to heed to people’s voice. You are protecting someone that nodoby seems to like anymore.
    I suspect that you are one of the Espinas yourself…
    Try to hear the voice of the people in Biliran and you will know that you are alone barking against Cong. Chong… you know why? Because you are deaf and mute to all the bad deeds of the Espinas because your are one of them, right…
    I don’t believe that the Espinas are paying you just to attack Cong Chong in here… who will pay you then when you are the one paying others to do this dirty tactics…
    I know because your laptop is tickling somewhere in Naval..It’s a private one owned by no less than… the old bald man…
    hahahahahaha….
