MANILA, Philippines — Already in hot water with farmers over land reform issues, Agrarian Reform Secretary Nasser Pangandaman is in trouble again, this time over an alleged mauling incident at a golf course in the city of Antipolo.
Radio reports on Saturday said police were looking into claims that Pangandaman not only flexed his muscles but also let his son Nasser Pangandaman Jr., mayor of Masiu in Lanao del Sur, beat up members of the De la Paz family at the Valley Golf and Country Club in Antipolo Friday afternoon.
"Hindi ninyo ako kilala. Ang yabang-yabang mo, ang tapang-tapang mo, mag-ingat ka (You don't know me. You're so conceited and foolhardy, you better be careful)," 56-year-old Delfin de la Paz recalled the Cabinet official telling him, while poking a finger at him after the mauling at the clubhouse.
Radio dzRH reported that the De la Paz family filed Friday night a complaint with the Antipolo police for physical injuries and violation of the law protecting women and minors.
The elder Dela Paz said he was with his 14-year-old son Bino and 18-year-old daughter Bambi at the golf course when the incident happened at about 1 p.m.
He said the Pangandaman father and son overtook them at one of the holes, prompting him to ask a marshal to have them get back in line.
When they were playing at the fifth hole, the mayor allegedly voiced impatience with De la Paz's slow playing.
Dela Paz said at least four bodyguards of the mayor roughed him up, and beat up his 14-year-old son who tried to pacify them. He said his daughter was crying and pleading them to stop the attack.
After the scuffle, De la Paz said he and his children trudged back to the clubhouse but the secretary and the mayor, with their bodyguards, followed them.
He said the golf course's management and security personnel came late.
On the other hand, he said that at the clubhouse, the mayor poked a finger at his 14-year-old son and said, "tatandaan kita (I will remember you)."
He said that when his elder son and wife arrived at the clubhouse with baseball bats, the Pangandamans' bodyguards drew handguns.
Security personnel then tried to pacify dela Paz and supposedly told them, "umuwi na kayo, napakalaking tao ‘yan (just go home, you're messing with big personalities here)."
Pangandamans side
Secretary Pangandaman could not be reached for comment but other radio stations reported that Mayor Pangandaman filed with the Mayamot police station in Antipolo a counter-complaint of physical injuries and grave threats against the De la Paz father and son.
The mayor said he talked with the elder De la Paz in a nice way but the man hit him instead with an umbrella and hurled invectives and twice challenged him to a fight.
The elder De la Paz admitted hitting one of the mayor’s men with the tip of an umbrella in self-defense as he was being ganged upon.
Golf etiquette 101
In a blog, Bambi De la Paz recalled that the Cabinet official and his son apparently resented their being told to observe golf etiquette.
Bambi wrote that she saw how the mayor hit Bino in the face even as her brother was pleading. She also recalled hearing the mayor shout to his caddy: Hindi nila kami kilala! Sabihin mo nga sa kanila kung sino ako! (They don’t know who we are. Tell them who I am)."
“I lash out, but my dad held me back. I was screaming my lungs out, shouting to this mayor, telling him about what he had done. I said: ‘Nakakahiya kayo. Singkwenta'y sais anyos ang tatay ko. And kapatid ko kakatorse anyos. Anong ilalaban nila sayo? (Shame on you. My father is 56 years old. My brother is just 14 years old. They are no match to you),’" she wrote.
After the scuffle at the clubhouse, she said, her younger brother’s right ear was bleeding and that when her older brother reacted, two of the mayor’s bodyguards pulled out guns.
“I am pretty sure the Secretary of DAR did not take part in the fight, but he just watched all this happen. He watched two of his sons, as we figured out, the other guy was his son, too, beat up my father and my 14-year-old brother. He didn't do anything to stop it. And this person is what now? A Cabinet member. A politician," Bambi wrote.
“The world has gone crazy. Two politicians beat up a defenseless 56-year-old father and his 14-year-old son. At a golf course. I swear to God, I thought golfers were decent people. You would think politicians were decent people. I guess not. I guess they gang up on 56-year-old men and beat up pleading 14-year-old kids," she added.
To make matters worse, she said, none of the security guards at the clubhouse even tried to stop the fight and that other personnel reportedly told refused to cooperate when they asked for the names of the Pangandamans’ companions.
Radio reports quoted the dela Paz family as saying they won’t be intimidated by the powerful Cabinet member and mayor and they will pursue the criminal complaint against them.
