Monday, April 16, 2007 Editorial: Where there's smoke, there's fire
BACOLOD vice mayor-turned-congressional aspirant Renecito Novero Jr. has cried foul over the black propaganda tagging him as babahedor or "chick boy" for allegedly having a lot of "girlfriends".
The propa materials printed in half-size bondpaper and thousands of copies are scattered in major streets in Bacolod almost everyday.
Novero suspected that his opponent re-electionist Rep. Monico Puentevella was behind this propaganda.
He said that this is a desperate move of his opponent whom he alleged of resorting to creating malicious and false stories, or engaging in criminal means of campaining just to discredit him.
But the questions:
Is there truth to the propaganda against Novero?
Is Novero really a chick boy?
Is the propaganda only a propaganda?
Novero should stop accusing anyone, rather all these three questions deserve explanation from him to clarify, redeem his name, reputation and image in public.
If not, people of Bacolod would believe the propaganda.
After all, it has always been said, "Where there's smoke, there's fire."
