The case of Miguel:
He has a temper and tantrums but he did his best not to tarnish the (already bad) reputation
of his family for the last 18 years. He blew his top, BUT ......

If it were my girlfriend they got drunk and left by the bar unconcious, i will not only
threaten them, I will bury them alive with a backhoe i will steal from Capitol.

If you guys can't get the drift, I dunno what else can.

true. i agree.

the guy deserve some credit with his achievement, what has being a cum laude got to do his father's politics? why just not appreciate what he has done...

its not easy to achieve that feat in UCLA.

his just doing his studies not running city hall

so give him a break.

Congrats Miguel. Now time to prove your EQ is just as high as your IQ.

Some would like to praise his academic excellence, but we can never blame some people to think the summa cum laude announcement by the Mayor has something to do to change people's negative perception about his son since that death threat incident. That I think is not a hinilas nga reaction. Lahi-lahi lang gyud ug views ang tawo.

yeah I know that some people immediately jumped to conclusions about Miguel by hearing one-sided stories from the victim and her friends. But that's reality. He is the mayor's son and public criticisms cannot only be limited to the mayor only. In fact, being the wife and son of a mayor makes them public figures too.

Miguel is the mayor's son and he won't let anyone forget it.

I've personally seen him throw a tantrum in public, but he was clearly embarrassed about it afterwards. Fear of his dad finding out being the reason for the turnaround.

Lets just be happy for the mayor, his wife and their son for his achievement.. many of us are parents here, and im sure that you would also want the same thing for your son. at least for this perspective, lets be happy for them. Maybe Miguel has had some mishaps in the past. Who hasn't?? We all have had our share of kabuang. I'm not saying that he is a good person and all coz wako kaila niya personally. Maybe he is bad, maybe he is good, but he and his parents deserve to be proud. This is not an ordinary achievement. His success does not necessarily mean that he will run for office here soon. Let's just learn to be happy for a fellow Cebuano's success.

As to the Paco case, it is not under trial by publicity anymore coz he was already convicted of the crime. Perhaps at first. But later on, what the people think of Paco at the instance of the crime was committed was validated. Meaning, their thinking that Paco is guilty is already proven true. We cannot also dismiss the fact that he is related to the Osmenas and somehow created another impression on the people about the Osmenas. Samot pa gyud gi pun-an aning kaso ni Miguel...

keyword, ANYMORE but at the time of the trial it was trial by publicity and that still doesn't change the fct that Paco was in Manila at that time at least for us that knew of that fact.

see how the law can be manipulated by a higher power?

don't forget, Raymond Alvin Garcia stood as witness in Paco's favor.
