STARMAIL: Tagging the wrong tree
MR. GABRIEL CARDINOZA
Executive Editor
The Pangasinan Star
Dear Sir,
Greetings.
This is in connection with the Headline of your newspaper Pangasinan Star “Truth at its most brilliant” dated November 20, 2005 Vol. XX No. 14, entitled, SP PASSES PARKING FEE ORDINANCE.
One of your distinguished associate editors, Mr. Daniel ‘Danny’ O. Sagun singled out this councilor and MADE IT APPEAR that I am the chairman of Peace and Order that is primarily charged to conduct a public hearing PURSUANT TO YOUR REPORT in connection with the ordinance in question.
With all due respect to the good editor who knows the facts, from the official records let it be made clear that Councilor Joey Tamayo is NOT Chairman on Peace and Order. The current Order Committee chair is distinguished Councilor Hon. Luis ‘Chito’ Samson, Jr., author of the Pay Parking Ordinance.
Contrary to the news item published, the Pay Parking Ordinance was never committed to the Committees on Tourism and on Human Rights which I currently hold as Chairman thereof. Be that as it may, please check the Sangguniang Panglungsod records.
In the light of these facts, it is requested that you please rectify your report considering that the Committees on Tourism and Human Rights, to which I am assigned, were not charged, much less directed by the Committee of the whole to conduct public hearing.
It is the Committee on Peace and Order that has prime jurisdiction over the Pay Parking Ordinance reported.
With full faith that your good newspaper stands for “Truth at its most brilliant”, it is hoped that said report be rectified to give justice and CREDIT that is due to the current chairman of the Peace and Order Committee, Councilor Luis Samson, Jr..
Very truly yours,
Jose Netu ‘Joey’ M. Tamayo
Chairman, Committees on Tourism; Human Rights
