5/365 days of blogging.

So there was an email circulating recently about an article presumably written by Solita “Mareng Winnie” Monsod on why she will vote for Noynoy. I was supposed to publish it here but I wanted to put a link back to the original article so I looked around the internet. I saw replicates of the article but not the original one. Thinking that the column could be at the Philippine Daily Inquirer, I went there and search the archives of her column. Nada. Instead I saw this disclaimer at the end of her February 27, 2010 article:

“(To whom it may concern: I am not the author of an e-mail going around titled “Why I will vote for Noynoy—Winnie Monsod.” To the real author/s: Hiding behind others is cowardly. Stand up and be counted. To everybody else: Any statement attributed to me can be very simply checked by referring to this column, or my column in BusinessWorld [Calling A Spade], or a blog under my name in GMA News.TV.)”

Now, just a disclaimer, I’m not pro-Manny Villar, one of the presidential hopefulls in the Philippine elections this 2010. Truth be told, I’m leaning more towards a different candidate altho, unfortunately, I won’t be able to cast my vote because I’m not eligible anymore. So I am not writing this entry in defense of Manny. I still don’t like him and I don’t trust him. But still, I don’t really approve of people hiding behind other people, no matter what the intentions might be. It just isn’t right. Now, there might be some truth in this article but it tarnishes the validity of it when the people who write it don’t stand behind what they write.
