Of Unisan, Quezon And Command Responsibility
Filed under: Bullshit Humans Enjoy, Weird/offbeat/WTF news
A blog post that I wrote last 29 December 2006 regarding my father’s hometown of Unisan, Quezon proved to be very controversial. Already, it has sparked some web peeps of Unisan to cowardly hide their true identities and resort to baseless ad hominems which, to my knowledge, is not characteristic of my father’s kababayans. Things have gotten awfully rowdy, forcing Skirmisher editor JB Lazarte to place incoming comments in a drainer. Instead of just criticizing me and my write-up about the hospitality of “Unisan’s finest“, they instead chose to antagonize the whole Alas clan who didn’t even have anything to do with the whole shebang which concerned yours truly and a few goodmen (the police folk of Unisan, of course). These anonymous commenters tried awfully hard for them to get inside my head. Actually, they already did. That is why you’re currently reading this blog post. =)
The last time I heard, I’m currently banned from going to Unisan, Quezon. For my own good. And I’m not really sure about this, but the last time I talked to my paternal abuela (grandmother), she informed me that the mayor wanted to speak to me regarding the unfortunate incident I had with the town’s police and the way I jotted it down. I’m really not sure if I should feel elated about the developments. But this only proves that the pen indeed, no matter what form it takes (in this case, it took the form of an HTML), is still mightier than the sword. And the gun. At least, as JB Lazarte aptly put it, I “ruffled some feathers”, and made the higher-ups sit up and take notice. That is an accomplishment already.
But what did I really accomplish?Commenter UNISANIN (who manages the uncool Friendster Account of Unisan, Quezon) gravely misunderstood the real reason behind my Unisan, Quezon article. The confused commenter must have thought that I’m glorifying my last name to the high heavens when I wrote that “the Alas clan is one of the most prominent group of families in the town of Unisan.” As I’ve told him, my last name’s prominence in Unisan doesn’t connote power. To my knowledge, the only Alas right now to hold an office in Unisan is Tito Alberto “Ambet” Alas, a Barangay Captain, a mere political seat compared to the mayoralty position of UNISANIN’s beloved Mr. Puache which is (coming from UNISANIN himself), of carabao proportions.
And let it be known to those who think the same way UNISANIN does that although the word prominence is defined differently in various dictionaries (the state of being prominent; conspicuousness; widely known), it is not synonymous to being famous or being popular or highly acclaimed. As I’ve written, the Alas clan is ONE, JUST ONE of a gazillion families from that sleepy Bondoc Peninsula municipality that is prominent or well known. And for UNISANIN’s intelligence enhancement, the focus of the Unisan article is not them, the Alas clan, but the humiliation with which SPO3 Danny Medina and his friends had wanted to bestow to my belligerence.
Initially, I was hoping that the concept of “command responsibility” will be tackled here in the article. First of all, I have no beef whatsoever with Mayor Nonato Puache. I don’t know squat who this person is. But shouldn’t he be blamed partly for the actions of his police? Just visit the place where I live.
Currently, I live in San Pedro, Laguna. When you get to see the place, you will surely curse under your breath and ask yourself, “who’s the asshole of a mayor who’s trying to create a Twisted Wonderland right here?” And I will answer you “Felicísimo Vierneza”. Of course, the tastelessness of San Pedro’s urban planning and pollution can also be blamed upon its residents. But that’s the reason why we have leaders, right? Otherwise, what is societal leadership for?
Hopefully, you, faithful reader, will get the picture, here: command responsibility.
Mr. Puache, Mr. Vierneza, and all local leaders don’t have to make themselves conspicuous just to keep their corresponding turfs in order. Well, I still remember how pathetically former Parañaque Mayor and STD celebrity Joey Márquez brandished himself to the public a few years back, sweeping the city streets and managing the flow of traffic during his worthless stint (he left Parañaque much worse than before, but thankfully my native town is bit by bit rising from its garbage-filled past). Local leaders don’t have to make a fool out of themselves. Although the Filipino voting community’s poverty doubles every year, that doesn’t make them stupid. Hunger keeps them wily and twice as choosy. Joey Márquez’s street-sweeping and traffic management antics are obviously ostentatious, and the simple and uneducated masa knows it. What I wanted these local officials to do is to finally, finally, finally put into action the age-old theory called “political will”.
If Mr. Puache only exerted his political will unto Unisan’s unsavory policemen (as well as to all private sectors there in his stronghold), none of this hullaballoo would have happened, and this blog post wouldn’t even have existed. Why, if Mr. Puache was only an effective leader, well, SPO3 Medina’s name wouldn’t have been appearing in search engines (darn!).
But apparently, whenever I visit Unisan, which is quite a small town to manage, I don’t see no progress. The seas are getting more and more polluted each time I visit the place, and the seas are indiscriminately being overfished. And there is this beautiful tree-filled hill beyond the river which my eyes had always feasted upon that was haphazardly turned into a village; up to now, it’s still dry wasteland.
But to his credit, Mr. Puache has done an admirable job by aggressively promoting tourism in Unisan. Well, not really that aggressive. Just ask your policemen there…
Now, one commenter who, although I can feel he doesn’t like me one bit, calls himself/herself LAR. His comment is actually the reason why I created this article. But what he really requested from me is an Unisan article that is GOOD and VIBRANT. I’m not sure if the tone of this article is of any GOOD nor is it VIBRANT. I wrote this article originally as a comment to TOURISTS, BEWARE! UNISAN, QUEZON IS A VERY DANGEROUS PLACE TO VISIT just to defend myself once and for all. But it has gotten way too long, the way some commenters have gotten way too far.
To Mr./Ms. LAR, I have written one such article about Unisan (something GOOD and VIBRANT, I guarantee you). That was around 2003, during one lazy afternoon in a dusty and makeshift Makati library where I used to work part time as an archivist. As I’ve told UNISANIN before you, “I’ve even written an unpublished nostalgic essay about Unisan a few years ago. And God knows that my love for nature was inspired by my childhood Unisan’s pristine beauty.” I’m not saying this just to pacify the assholes who misunderstood the nature of my TOURISTS, BEWARE! article; I’m just compelled to divulge this now because I thought I had to defend myself from those gutless cowards who dissed me and my family in the Skirmisher’s Comments Section. As of the moment, I don’t have plans of having it published. But at your kind request, I think I will. It’s kinda corny, high school stuff.
When I wrote that piece about Unisan, I was attempting to “create” or to “pioneer” a Joaquinesque school of writing (and I’m not over that although I’ve shifted my gears to writing in Spanish). No one has ever read it. I would really apprecieate someone have it critiqued, to determine if I had indeed succeeded into creating a style that is a truly Filipino-flavored English piece that the late great Nick Joaquín had initiated.
But this about Unisan, by the way. So pardon me.
I have to admit, LAR, that I may really have gone over the edge when I entitled this piece in controversial fashion. But after that incident, when I didn’t have the chance to find an audience to redress the humiliation I have received from Unisan’s policemen, I thought of addressing the issue here in the world wide web.
Dude, you and I and everyone else in this country knows for a fact that injustice thrives like shit bits in your toilet bowl: you try to flush ‘em down several times, but they keep on floating up. That is how I view the evil Filipino police system. Primetime news and print media will of course confirm that to you. You nor anyone else from your family need not experience any form of police or military brutality. It’s right next door, over the street, yonder that slum area, lurking in sooty city parks, even inside malls and (heaven forbid!) churches. Sure, you may blame the media all you want for such merciless generalization they have portrayed the criminal justice system, but don’t we have a saying that film is a reflection of society.
And the same thing goes to local municipalities and cities. The way a municipality and/or a city is conceived by a sharp critique is a reflection of that place’s leader(s). And that is just a brief opinion of Mr. Puache’s leadership in Unisan. And I fervently hope that the issue which ill-mannered commenters and troublemongers have been trying to create between me and the mayor will stop. Because there really should be no issue. I’m not trying to pull him down just because of Eleksyon 2007. If you’d ask me, I don’t have the capabilities of doing so (and, again, what for?). Only Mr. Puache can bring himself down.
Lañgaw lang daw acó; si Puache calabáo. 
Pero si UNISANIN ang may sabi niyán, ‘di acó, hehehe!
Leadership by example. Command responsibility. Inspiration. That is all I can say for Unisan, Quezon’s leaders. They should have been at the forefront of military leadership in Unisan. Whatever fault that may befall their local armed forces, they should be blamed also. And most importantly, local leaders should inspire their cops to act decently and politely. If education begins at home, then police character and conduct should begin not from the barracks (because there’s none there) but from the executive field.
Again, I may have gone over the edge when I wrote that article. But I will defend that matter anywhere, anytime. The title was for effect (although it has touches of truth), to catch attention, to “ruffle some feathers.” I got the attention I want, but those who listened had their fragile sentiments scratched. But that was due to their incomprehension (no longer my fault).
What I really want is this: I am still awaiting a positive response and action from Unisan’s top officials. They should do what they had to do with those police who erred in their duties. I was there to enjoy Unisan, a place which had excited my youth (and still continues to excite my historical mind). I didn’t go there to pick up a fight (man, WHAT FOR?).
I WAS THERE ALSO ON A PERSONAL MISSION: TO WRITE A GREAT HISTORICAL ARTICLE WHICH WOULD SOMEHOW HELP UNISAN’S BID TO BECOME A HOT TOURIST SPOT IN THE PHILIPPINES. That has always been my plan all along. Since 2004, baby, I’ve been dreaming about it. But fate really has its funny ways. It brought to me a bunch of mindless cowards in police uniforms.
Yes, I was there in Unisan not just to visit my parents and sisters and relatives. I was there on a mission. But what did the police did to me? Nabastós lang acó. Sayang. Anger and vengeance and hate got in the way. But I had to do what I had to do: I did an exposé Pepe Alas style.
Yes, I am pretty sure that my family and the entire Alas clan disapproves of what I have been writing lately. But this is not for them, nor is this for me. Corny as it may sound, but I’m doing this for justice’s sake. And as Tommy Dreamer once put it, I will continue to fight the fight!
LAR said that the pambabastós which the Unisan police did to me was an isolated case. Maybe. But that ”isolated case” is dwarfed by the fact that more than one policemen, armed to the teeth, were raring to beat the holy hell out of your favorite payatot, Pepe Alas.
Isolated case. Hmmm. OK, let us consider that it was just a minor incident. If I just ignored it, it will CERTAINLY happen again. That’s why I attacked them here in the net, to rattle the seats of Unisan’s powers that be, to put them into action, to make them recognize that their blue kids are about to go haywire against an innocent, non-NPA element.
But until the Unisan political executives keep mum on this issue, well, I will never lower nor remove the alert level I raised: TOURISTS, BEWARE! UNISAN, QUEZON IS STILL A VERY DANGEROUS PLACE TO VISIT!!!!!
I hate this alert level. I’m longing for the day to put it down. When? That depends on what action the Municipality of Unisan will undertake. I am not requesting that they fire SPO3 Danny Medina and his hooligan friends, I am not requesting that they be flogged in public, nor am I requesting that Mr. Mayor whip their butts with leather belts (although it’s not a bad idea!). All I’m asking is that when I, or any tourist for that matter –whatever his/her appearance may be–, visit the town, the police will greet us with a friendly smile, a reassuring smile that we are safe in their midst. And I do hope that Medina and his friends will be taught and made to master a very basic societal knowledge: civilian supremacy.
The last time I looked, I thought I saw a poster in Lucena City boasting that Quezon province is the home of the citizen-friendly policemen. I hope that’s not a lie.
Yes, LAR, I agree that Unisan is a simple and peaceful community. But not for “tourists” like me. But don’t worry, I do have a “positive” blog post that I’ve been cooking up for Unisan. Like what I’ve said, I’ve always dreamt of doing such a thing since 2004. It’s just that Medina, et al got in the way. I’ll have it posted here in the Skirmisher and in my other blog. And I’m not going to do it just to please all Unisanin’s nor to please myself. I’m doing it for my country.
It’s coming soon, chong!
Let me just end this issue –ONCE AND FOR ALL– with a piece of Lazartean wisdom. But before that, let me just take this opportunity to extend my apologies to the people of Unisan who didn’t quite understand the nature of my TOURISTS, BEWARE! article…
To the people of Unisan who I may have unwittingly offended, my sincerest apologies.
And to the policemen of Unisan who I have caused so much hurt the past several weeks… fuck you still!!! May you and your worthless guns rot in hell!!!
I hope this ends here. Sorry, comments aren’t welcome anymore…
“Thank you for reading and may all folks in Unisan enjoy their town’s burgeoning tourism industry, and may all its healthy and friendly cops and politicians find comfort in the fact that the Skirmisher thinks so very dearly of them.”
¡Viva Unisan de Tayabas!
Stumble it!

After such a long wait, the coward from the historic town of Unisan, Quezon who shamelessly calls himself UNISANIN has finally replied to my written defense (click here for more) against his accusations and personal attacks. But since I have had enough of ad hominems (especially since I’d rather be the one dishing ‘em out =) ; besides, this is “my house” and I intend to keep it clean…), I have decided to delete his NONSENSICAL comment. But for the sake of fairness, I will still point out the errors of his wild accusations…
UNISANIN wrote that “after an OFFICIAL investigation, SPO3 Medina will be awarded a commendation” since it was proven that I was the one who instigated the incident. First of all, how in the world could there be an “OFFICIAL investigation” without my knowledge? The “protagonists” in this story are me, SPO3 Danny Medina, and his cohorts who almost beat me up. Shouldn’t I have been summoned to this so-called “OFFICIAL investigation” (kunô) as well? That is, if it really is official…
Now, if it’s really true that Unisan’s police officials did conduct an “OFFICIAL investigation” – for more clarification of the incident and fairness of those involved – they should not have just depended on what I have written here in the Skirmisher. They should’ve summoned me instead by sending me a message in this blog or via my relatives in Unisan. But that they didn’t do.
Therefore, UNISANIN, IF what you said was TRUE regarding this, uh, “OFFICIAL” ho-hum whatsoever, well my dear pal, YOU HAVE JUST PROVEN TO THE WHOLE INTERNET COMMUNITY HOW DUMB UNISAN’S POLICE OFFICIALS ARE WHEN IT COMES TO DUE PROCESS. Tsk tsk tsk. And, come to think of it, since they’re too dumb to adhere to due process, I think it was a good idea after all for me not have faced your police pals, after all. Thank goodness for that…
That is, if we are to believe UNISANIN’S claim.
This funny a-hole also wrote that “sa wakas, e nailabas na ang katotohanan sa isyung ito…” nanggulo itong si “pepe” alas” (that I made a fuss) without elaborating how. UNISANIN, ¿anó’ng claseng pangguguló ang guinawá co? ¿Baquit ‘di mo isinulat sa comento mo? Cung nangguló ngâ acó, dapat siguro hinuli na acó caagád ni Medina en vez na tinawag ¿’di ba? Cung nangguló nga acó, titiyaquín cong dadanac ang dugô. ¿Caso, walá namáng dugong dumanac, ¿’di ba? E, ‘di hindí totoóng nangguló acó.
At may idádagdag pa acó: ang ibig sabihin palá ng bintáng mo sa aquin ay capág may naquiquita ang mahál mong pulís na si Medina na may magulóng táo dian sa UNISAN, ‘di niyá itó hinuhuli. Bagcús, tinatawag niyá lang itó at sinasabihang “O, ¿ba’t ang yabang mo?”. ¡Icáw talagá, UNISANIN, o! Lagui mo na lang acóng pinapatawa. Pinagmúmukha mo tulóy TAÑGÁ at INÚTIL si SPO3 Danny Medina sa mga pinagsásasabi mo. Don’t bother doing it, dude. I already know he is, ayt? lol! =) =) =)
UNISANIN also said that I went inside the Constantino house’s backyard (…pumasok sa bakuran ng bahay ng mga constantino na walang paalam, sinita ng guwardiya na binastos at pinagyabangan ni “pepe”…). Believe it or not, I didn’t. But I did have intentions of going straight inside the house to take pictures of its interiors, not just the backyard, because it seemed to me nobody lives there anymore. It seemed abandoned just like the ill-fated Valerio house. I was only able to reach the front door, but it was locked. At isá pa, UNISANIN, walá namáng guardiang sumitá sa aquin. Cung si SPO3 Medina ang tinutucoy mong guardia, ¡abá! ¿ACALA CO BÁ PULÍS SIYÁ? Now you’ve demoted him to the position of a guard of a dilapidated Spanish house? Maguló ca na yatang caúsap, chong.
Shit, man. Are you fuckin’ high or what? lol! =) Tama lang palá na ibasura co na lang ang lahát ng mga susunód mong comento. You’re getting freakier and freakier with each statement, hehehe.
But it seems that you’re trying to point out that Unisan’s police are hell bent on “protecting” its old Spanish houses. ¿Baquit? ¿May cayamanan bang macucuha sa Casa de Constantino? Alám mo, cung alám cong may nacatirá doón, nararapat namán talagá na magsabi acó. Pero napansín namin ng capatíd co, walá namáng táo (actually, whenever my sisters accompany me out for a walk in the población, I always ask them if this or that bahay na bató has any occupant). Nacacandado patí ang pintúan, cayá naísipan namin ng capatíd co na lumipat na lang ng ibáng bahay. Oo, umalís camí sa Casa de Constantino hindí dahil sa sinitá camí ni SPOGuard Medina — cayá camí umalís doón ay dahil sa ‘di camí macapasoc. At hindí camí sinitá ni Medina. Pagcatapos cung cunan ng retrato ang Casa de Constantino, ng papaalís na camí (we were headed towards the Maxino and Valerio sites), tinawag niyá acó ng maayos (heto na namán, siráng placa na acó…).
Alám mo UNISANIN (by the way, we already know who you are, thanks to my hacker friend in Dubai; but my folks are telling me not to divulge your true name, not yet; they’re just waiting for the proper time to apprehend you and have your parents hit you in the ass with a leather belt), cung magsalitá cayó dian acala niyó cung sino cayóng mapág-alaga sa mga bahay na bató dian. Pinapabayaan niyó namán. Nasa aquin lahát ng evidencia (I have the pictures). Cahit ang mahál mong alcalde’t mga capua niyá oficiales waláng magagawá capág sinisi co siyá sa capabayaán niyá sa cultura’t arquitecturang dapat sana’y pinaquiquinabañgan ng mga tagá-Unisan. ¿Hindí ba’t malaquíng catarantaduhan nang sinabí ng isá sa mga pulís niyó sa aquin na ”bawal cunan ng retrato ang mga lumang bahay ng Unisan ng waláng pahintulot ng municipio?” Oo, malaquíng catarantaduhan dahil pinapabayaan namán nilá itó. ¡Abá! Tinalo pa nilá ang Intramuros. Sa Intramuros, na isáng sicát na lugar panturista sa buóng mundó, ‘di mo na cailañgang pumuntá sa Manila City Hall o sa mga gerente ng Intramuros para humiñgí ng permiso na cunan ang mga nag-gagandahang mga bahay na bató at ibá pang mga maravillosang arquitecturang maquiquita doón.
Uulitin co na namán, sa icá-pitumpú’t-waló, anim na raá’t limampúng siyám na pagcacataón… dumalaw acó sa bayan ng Unisan hindí lang para dumalaw sa mga magulang at capatíd co cundí upang cunan na rin ang natítirang magagandáng tanawin nitó, particular na ang mga bahay na bató nitó, dahil lubhâ itóng napapabayaan. Ang layunin co ay maiparatíng ang mga retrato ng mga naghíhiñgalong bahay na bató ng Unisan sa mga pilántropo’t culturista upang harinawá’y mabigyán silá ng TUNAY na protección (not the kind of measly guardianship that SPOGuard Medina is doing), at nang hindí matulad sa magníficong bahay ng mga Maxino. At acó pa ang napasamâ.
Sheesh. I don’t have any intentions of blasphemy here, but I really can’t help but be reminded of a very famous incident that is a wee bit similar to my case: isn’t it true that our Lord Jesus Christ intended to save humanity from their sins? But despite all his good works and noble cause, what did he get in return?
… tama po ang mga pinost ng ibang nagkomento… kung nagpakilala siyang tiga roon, wala sanang gulo… Well, this line from UNISANIN I just couldn’t ignore. It seems to me that this guy needs psychiatric help. If he’s assiduously read my Unisan articles, then he needs medical help due to his manifest dyslexia (damn poor slob). But if he didn’t, he doesn’t even deserve to express his opinions here. Pero una sa lahát, talagáng tama para cay UNISANIN ang mga nagcomento laban sa aquin dahil siempre, paré-parejo namán siláng mag-isíp, at magcacacampí pa silá. ¿Cailañgan pa bang i-memorize ‘yan, chong? At ‘di co na papatulan yung cung nagpaquilala lang acó, walá na sanang guló. Pagód na acó sa cacapaliwanag, e…
Yes, I am aware that a town like Unisan should ALWAYS be on a high alert level due to surprise NPA attacks (I have experienced one there, when I was in elementary). Para maguíng patas tayo dito, maaari co ring aminin na guinagawa lang ni Medina ang trabajo niyá biláng pulís (nampucha, nasabi co na ‘to dati, a; siráng placa na namán acó). Dahil bago ngâ ang mukhá co sa caniyá, dapat lang talagág siyasatin niyá acó ng mabuti cung sino acó at cung tagá-saán acó. Ganoón lang casimple. Madalí acóng caúsap. Sasabihin co sa caniyá lahát ng detalleng cailañgan niyáng malaman para huwág niyá lang acóng istórbohin sa pagcuha co ng retrato. ¿Caso anó ulít ang sinabi niyá sa aquin ng lumapit acó sa caniyá? Cayó na lang ang magpatuloy, alám niyó casí na ang casunód…
So go ahead, give Medina his “commendation,” his Medal of Valor, his Purple Heart for all I care. Who’s stopping you? You can even shoot the living garbage out of his and his police pals foulness and build a monument for them in Tamesis park in their (questionable) honor. Just one advice: do contact Marc Logan. He can make a cool NEWSKUPO out of the awarding ceremonies. =)
See you later,
Alligator!
lol!

Hello Peter Alas,
I came across your article about Unisan as I was searching for a place for my next project, that might put Unisan in a very positive light. It was unfortunate that you had that bad experience there. And your reaction to that reminded me of how I was when I was younger and trying hard to live by Ayn Rand’s philosophy. Life’s experiences had taught me lessons on humility though. But I had to learn the hard way. I admire your spunk, your intelligence, and your talent. And I agree that the pen is mightier than the sword. But a wise man knows that it’s stupid to use the pen as a sword. I do not know that policeman, and I do not know you. Looking at the situation objectively, even if that policeman offended you personally, it was you who did more damage to Unisan and its people in general. It’s easier for me to say this of course because it wasn’t my experience, or I might have reacted worse, who knows…considering my explosive temper.:-) But then again as you claim it, this is freedom of expression. I just want to remind you that freedom entails a lot more responsibility than claiming good intention. Where one’s freedom starts, someone else’s ends. You see it’s so easy just to write, but much harder to ‘walk the talk.’ Here I am babbling about your article when I just want actually to thank you for another lesson I learned from your experience. I was humbled to actually read your apology to the Unisan people. I might not have done the same (not sure) and continued in my over-confident, often misconstrued as arrogant ways. Well, what can I say… I have yet to learn to be really consistently humble, and to learn it from a much younger fellow like you, that’s really humbling. Thank you.
I hope with your apology, this issue ends. Less talk, less mistake. Hopefully we could all work together for the betterment of Unisan, in a better way than this.
Jo
October 26th, 2007 at 7:25 pm
Yo, Jo,
I understand, and you are 100% correct. But I think that repressed anger, and not explosive temper, had influenced this controversial article. Now that the fire has died down (I think), it’s much clearer to view the folly of my ways. But that doesn’t take away the guilt of those asshole police dung who inspired this article. Thanks for your commentary.
By the way, it’s Pepe, not Peter.
See you around.

hay……unisan
November 17th, 2008 at 12:30 am
Yeah…hay……Unisan. There’s so much I would like to do for that hometown of mine…
Next Friday I’ll be at the awarding ceremony for my 2 midwives. One will be awarded the Natatanging Komadrona award, the best for 2008, national level and the other will recieve the award for the Regional level. It’s rare to have these 2 awards given to the same town at one time. And this is a town much more remote than Unisan. I can’t help wonder if I would be just an effective head of office in Unisan as it is in this small town. But I sense, it’s not yet my time to be part of Unisan workforce…
I don’t even plan to spend x’mas there. But I’ll be having a x’mas party with our aeta brothers in their small village at a remote place. They will be the beneficiaries of my next project. This is part of my personal mission. At kahit saan pa yan, Unisanin pa rin ako.
