The other side of Jolly?

What we’d been hearing especially from the media about Julian Resuello - the former mayor of San Carlos City - was his indelible performance as a public servant.
There’s no question about that. He brought forth economic finesse and vitality to a sleepy city. The big box stores and the accoutrements of fast life are testaments of his contribution to his beloved city.
We are done with that, the bright side of the Force. What about the dark side of Darth Vader? Nobody questioned his morality as a person. How’s that Ermin Jr., Gonzalo and you, too, Jun Velasco? Don’t play with fire in an oil refinery?
What you should do guys, is expose how this person behaved in his romantic peccadilloes – his obligation as a family man, as a political leader and as a Christian who professed his faith with the obstinance of a pit bull.
Some of you would say, this is an intrusion on the memory of a dead man. I expected that. Julian Resuello was a public servant and his life is open for all to see. Who’s fair in love, war and politics?
The new mayor… Ayoy Resuello. . . father like son, eh, Gonzalo? In the footsteps of his old man - public service wise and the flamboyance of a Rubirosa? It has been shown - playing with fire - is the vogue of the times, from Santa Barbara to San Carlos City, even to the halls of the media and the learning institutions.
This fad is deleterious to the traditional Filipino family where it destroys the cohesiveness of its foundation. But it’s happening and being done with the poker face of a Mississippi gambler.
I was informed by impeccable sources that during the wake of Jolly Resuello, nine of his paramours were lined-up and crying like babies, in a politically charged environment. It added up to the intrigue in his machinations as a city mayor.
He’s that jolly, ever cheerful, jovial and inspiring gaiety though peccant. A person who loved life and enjoyed to the fullest.
Jolly Resuello, may his soul be blessed . . . died with his boots on!
