PBA'08:Open Letter

I was chatting with a friend the other night and we talked about the recent Philippine Blog Awards he told me he wrote a comment on a blog post but wanted to post it to several other sites I suggested that I just post it here so here it is.

lets just call him Enrico Sigeoun Reynes(sorry pal its a lot better than anonymous):

its just an assumption i may or may not be correct but have you joined a raffle from a bigwig company or even the lottery? i have read many a posters from such raffles(i am an avid smoker and marlboro raffles are so tempting) and some of them says that any person or relative from the third degree consanguinity shall not be legible in joining this contest. even pcso employees are not allowed to bet in the lottery and sweepstakes right?
remember the film fest scandals? isnt ms mauritius a prospective talent of ms lolit solis and she blatantly used her to make ruffa gutierez win? when it all got stinky they all fingers pointed to her right?(forgive me if my facts are a bit skewered i was 12 at that time and my aunt was a big gabby fan so i just asked her what happened)
my point is anyone from the PBA staff, volunteer or not will have a few eyebrows and some scrutiny pointed against them if ever they win because said staff is affiliated with the entity. hopefully in the years to follow, such trends will end and volunteers or staff will become neutral(and by neutral i mean neither nominated nor has any personal interest). just to avoid any untoward incident that may duplicate this fiasco.
To the winners congratulations, for sure you did your best. but please being a winner does not make you the best there is and bragging rights just last 1 year so be careful on what you say.
To the losers, well please don't stop on giving it your best.
To everybody we all have the freaking right to bitch about someone but please let be in the boundaries of reason and reality.
for the record, i am not a blogger i just love to read blogs please guys dont stop on writing.

I did not bother to edit his post but knowing him he sincerely does not want fellow Filipinos fighting. For me what they are fighting for transcends more than the issues but their own personal principles. Principles are the only thing that you can't take away.
