Liar, liar

NO HOLDS BARRED
Armida Siguion-Reyna
10/19/2010
NEW YORK — He must be tickled, having been main topic of an op-ed columnist in a major major broadsheet, just yesterday. I (unfortunately) know him well enough to know that there’s no difference between good and bad publicity. As far as he’s concerned, what matters most is that media identify him, so he’s able to write back and explain his side, yadda, yadda, yadda.

Well, I’m not about to give him the satisfaction, even as I list and make public more of his lies. Here, he shall be like the villain in the Harry Potter series, if not You-Know-Who, then the One-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. From time to time, since I stepped down from the MTRCB, I’d get asked to come out on TV with him, and I always said no. Heck, there was an offer I didn’t at all consider but immediately turned down, and this was to host a radio talk show. Eew, my grandchildren said then. And eew, indeed. There was no way I was going to willingly breath in the air he’d exhale, in the small confines of a radio booth.

But people like him continuously need to get exposed for the hypocrite and pakialamero that he is. For oh, how he can twist the truth and manipulate data to make it appear that he and only he comes in the name of truth; that it is only he who knows what’s truly artistic and what isn’t; and that it is only he who knows who’s truly artistic and therefore worthy of the National Artist Award.....
