14, 2019 Saturday SOME SIDE NEWS
While
I was awaiting for any call coming from my employer , for the moment to be sent
to the assigned ship and for the plane ticket to arrive. I went to take care of
some of a few side agenda's while I was
in wait.
One
of this is to make a financial loan from a lending company, to make up for some
bad debts - not on my side but on my sisters. I was never in agreement with my
sisters plans and only accepted it reluctantly to make a loan in the condition
that I could ask for some of the funds borrowed , for me to use to purchase
videogames. My sisters debts in the first place has nothing to do with at all
and I was only asked to help out. Unfortunately my loan request was turned down
by the lending company, they did not disclose the reasons why but it was
evident that if I wanted some financial help - it will not be on their lending
company.
Another
side agenda that happened recently is that , an infamously known figure in the
maritime community here in the Philippines is making again trouble to a small
pro-workers group on Facebook social media. The trouble began when Nelson
Ramirez Groups (UFS) claims victory over an issue on which a Government
Maritime Agency policy was repealed, They claim it was their efforts that made
it possible when in reality it wasn’t. It turns out another group was
responsible on that effort and Nelson Ramirez was just riding along , and did
nothing but take pictures to make it look like they had something to do with
it. Nelson Ramirez made no hesitation in attacking the said group by posting
negative statements via Facebook
Although
it is none of my business to intervene in their quarrel , I did have a vendetta
over Nelson Ramirez (the infamously known figure) over the incident that nearly
had me blacklisted from being a seafarer four years ago. Thus in that reason I
intervene and sided with the leftist
pro-workers group "SMP" (Samahan ng Marinong Pilipino)., I leaked to
that group, mug shot pictures of Nelson Ramirez when he was arrested and put to
jail over charges of "Cyber Libel" , so that the group could use it
as a counter propaganda in Facebook on their part against Nelson Ramirez.
Immediately
as soon as I gave the pictures, the leftist group issued a statement countering
Nelson Ramirez black propaganda against them., and stated that "Nelson
Ramirez has been jailed before over this matter and was only released via posting bailed over charges of cyber
libel" . I also posted comments on their Facebook page, Ridiculing and
Insulting Nelson Ramirez and also made accusations on Nelson Ramirez
Anti-Filipino/ Anti-worker activities . I was one of the harshest critics
against Nelson Ramirez on that Facebook page and was determined to let everyone
know on how crooked he is , that he puts up an act being a labor union leader
when in fact he was a company man.
On
my end aside from having a personal vendetta over Nelson Ramirez , the reasons
why I made an intervention was that I figured that he may be a good
"buffet" over leftist communist labor groups , and that I wanted to
see on what will be the results of the confrontation of if ever Nelson Ramirez
and UFS would have a full blown clash to a group that is loosely associated
with leftist antigovernment communist groups. I'd like to see (if ever that
happens) on how destructive their skirmishes will be (both in social media and
actual live confrontation)
