DISHONEST TIMOTHY BRADLEY, DISHONEST JUDGES, DISHONEST REFEREE
There was no way, you, Timothy Bradley, could win that boxing match with Manny Pacquiao. It was you alone who knew you were defeated. The referee and the judges alone knew you were beaten, Timothy. Your parents never taught you about honesty is the best policy? You had torn ligaments, Timothy, you acquired during the bout. Explain how you got it. We had our theory written in our Abel blog, Timothy. Read it, Timothy, and be honest about it. Don't be like the officials of an Ilokano writing group who pocketed some of the money for the construction of the writers' house in Suso, Sta, Maria, Ilocos Sur. That's in the Philippines, Timothy, where we have dishonest judges (not that kind that ruled you won the bout, but that rank whence came the recently- ousted Chief Justice Renato Coronado Corona of the Supreme Court), Philippine presidents, senators, congressmen, governors, town mayors, policemen, members of the Sangguniang Bayan, even village chiefs, and, yes, writers, specifically, the saluyot variety.
