OPEN LETTER TO THE B-MEG GOVERNOR

Dear Mr. Pardo,

I have just been terminated from the paper I work for. My editor says that the termination is due to cost-cutting measures. While what my editor says might be true, I can't help but think that you may have in a way contributed to my termination. After all, out of all the sports personalities I have talked to and written about, you were the only who took the time and effort to hunt me down and tell the PBA and my editor of your great displeasure regarding my work. To think that I have written far more controversial articles, it was a surprise for me to hear you so upset over such a harmless article. Now after 2 months since the article, I am left with no spot with the paper I work for.

Perhaps the lesson to be learned from the whole ordeal sir is to realize that our actions have far-reaching effects. That mere displeasure when expressed in no uncertain terms, can lead people to draw certain conclusions, whether they be true or not. And it can haunt us even long after our moment of anger. Perhaps, it is time to realize that acting like a rich untouchable has its downside as well. And that it is better to talk to the person with whom you are upset with face to face than turning to other people and institutions to relay a certain message.

The best of luck to your team.

Yours,

Eric
