Fernando P. Estrada M.D. FACS,

Firstly, let me clarify this acronym FACS. For the record; Fellow of American College of Surgeons. Added always on the resumé for weight, prestige and legitimacy. With all due reverence doctor, allow me to dip my finger in this mire you’re in.

You challenged Mar Magsano’s post on Feb. 27th which you believed was inaccurate and incompatible with the truth. But, before you lambasted Mr. Magsano, like a patient in malpractice suit, you should have checked what Jun Velasco wrote on Feb. 26th. It could have spared you the time and hands wringing in frustration and firing blanks that won’t even hurt a fly.

Jun Velasco his words, “Dr. Fernando Estrada, a native of Calasiao town, and vivacious wife, the former Nancy Cornista of Hotel Boulevard, Dagupan City, who owns a hospital in Pennsylvania”. Owned a hospital? In your admission you did not own a hospital only a clinic.

See the emphasis on what kind of people you are? The glorification of wealth Jun Velasco tried hard to connect. Velasco’s unforgivable mistake was not checking on you… the truth… of what he was going to write. That’s the kind of culture and character Velasco has, not Magsano’s crowd you attempted to crucify…gone for broke. Made you mad, cried and bit your lips, ain’t it? He handed you the knife that cut your throat. Magsano’s rebuttal is a righteous defiance. Blame Velasco not him.

And to think of it, the possibility of Mar Magsano living in that area where you make your bread and butter, he knew what’s the razzle-dazzle happening in your little enclave, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania? You don’t know him, he knew you and highly unlikely he wouldn’t respond. Watch out once he comes out like that bat from Hell.

All these times Jun Velasco writes his columns, Jeremias Carrera of Guam, aptly named him PCE (Prolific Columnist Extraordinaire). His articles are not only irresponsible but contemptible.

Savage? That’s the bloody truth. As a matter of fact, your friend Jun Velasco as a columnist… to think of it… cannot find snow in the middle of freezing Pennsylvania winter.
