Davidson Bangayan's highly public denial yesterday seems like a direct hit against Davao city mayor Rodrigo Duterte who supplied media with the photos and passport of Mr. Bangayan. Duterte was certain "David Tan" was this "Davidson Bangayan"is one and the same. Yet, why did Bangayan spared Duterte from his plan of filing a libel case, and only particularized Jesus Aranza, head of the business group which exposed the illicit activities of a certain David or Davidson Tan.
Calling Mr. Mayor, Mayor Duterte of Davao City. Will you let this person smear your name? Duterte appears like a fool in this controversy. I believe the good mayor will not allow anybody to mess up his name and reputation.
A source who refused to be identified says that this rice smuggling controversy is not what it really appears to be.
This "fight" is actually between and among rice smugglers in this country. A group initiated a smear campaign against Agriculture secretary Procy Alcala because he allegedly favored another smuggling group. This group is believed to be funded allegedly by a lawyer of Davidson Tan.
Alcala's group resisted and exposed Davidson Tan, whom they believe to be funding the anti-Alcala campaign. Davidson Tan is using a publicist in neutralising this latest tirade against him and his operations, according to some sources.
