Mr. Van S. de Leon:
Pangalatok: Pangasinense sira toktok. Goes the by-line that it's derogatory . . . stereotypical . . . narrow-minded . . . aggressively intolerant.
With all our efforts to wipe it off and re-educate people this word have no place in the conversation table, there are those who maintained ignorance of the fact, this attitude is not allowed.
Lo and behold! You have a fishbone in your throat, Mr. de Leon. Jun Velasco's arrogance in declaring to the world how he tried to promote a weekly publication - Asian Journal - in a nonchalant way, that this news copy printed in PANGALATOK country, is bigotry at its worst.
How he did it is beyond me, but if he tried to rub to everybody, he rubbed it the wrong way. He's an illiberal guy Jun Velasco, a relic of the past . . . an anathema to this day and age . . . an archetype of what is bad in a human being. Jun Velasco is a loose cannon and a fool. It's surprising this mistake passed the editing room. If it was done perfunctorily why it would have to happen?
Yo . . . Mr. Jeremias Andrade Carrera, here's your PCE.
