Comments on: Paulo Avelino: Out of Contention http://igorotblogger.com/2007/03/paulo-avelino-out-of-contention.html A news and information blog on the Igorots/iCordilleras Wed, 16 May 2012 06:42:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Bill Bilig http://igorotblogger.com/2007/03/paulo-avelino-out-of-contention.html#comment-445 Bill Bilig Sat, 24 Mar 2007 23:15:00 +0000 http://igorotblogger.com/?p=154#comment-445 Hi Trublue,<br/>LOL. Persona non grata. Kawawa naman sila hehe. It's actually their loss if they deny their heritage so I wouldn't bother about them at all. Iba siyempre if they say things like, "Hindi ako Igorot! Ang mga Igorot na iyan ganito ganito ganito sila." <br/><br/>In fairness to Paulo, hindi naman siya unsure of his roots. He was just hesitant to admit it or didn't do the admission at the appropriate time. Kumbaga late siya. So siguro ang dapat gawin, instead of granting him only partial access to the Cordilleras, is to grant him full access but to make him wait at the gate. Hi Trublue,

For Paulo Avelino, he admitted he was unsure, so he can only stay in Kennon Road or Lamtang Irisan if he takes Naguilian Road...hahaha<br/><br/>TruBlue Anyone with true blue blood running thru their veins and rejects it should be barred from entering CAR as persona non grata.

And that Igorots by blood who disdain their origins are no Igorots at all.<br/><br/>Hi Ferri,<br/>Go Igorote. Ang hirap hanapan ng term si Wil ano? Wil, sabihin mo na lang that you are From the Boondocks. Hehehe.<br/><br/>Hi TruBlue,<br/>I'm not familiar with the circumstances which prompted Aquino to say what he said so no comment ako diyan :-) But, from what I've heard/read of him, he seems to be an upstanding person. <br/><br/>As Chyt stated above, one must have adopted the Igorot culture before one can make such a claim. I think it's also appropriate to add that one is not doing it for political gain or any other gain for that matter. OFF TOPIC BUT RELEVANT: Which reminds me, marami daw police sa Makati na Mangyan. The police kasi has height requirements for applicants but apparently exempted yata indigenous peoples from this requirement. So ginagawa ng marami who fall below the height requirement, they get NCIP certificates claiming that they are Mangyans just so they can be exempted. <br/><br/>Hmmm, Labo claiming that he is an Igorot? That's something. Hi Chyt,

Hi Ferri,

His younger brod was my co-hi school grad at old BCF. <br/>Now, as we know Ka Ramon (Labo) is planning a comeback as mayor, he might as well plagiarize the statement and proclaim "hoy mga Igorots, Igorot na pala ako sa kapilitan".
