Valley Golf expels De la Paz for causing brawl

(Dated Jan 11, but learned of it just today. The bloggers I scan (and the chronic email forwarders) who were taken in by the daughter's version of the event did not do as a good job of updating me of this development as compared to when the story first broke out. Reprinting the news report in case you missed it, too...)

MANILA, Philippines - Valley Golf Course and Country Club officials on Sunday expelled Delfin de la Paz from its roster of members and suspended Agrarian Reform Secretary Nasser Pangandaman Sr. in connection with their scuffle at the club's last month.

In a two-page resolution, the golf course’s board of directors sanctioned De la Paz for “disorderly behavior" when he instigated the brawl with Mayor Nasser Pangandaman Jr. of Masiu in Lanao del Sur, his brother Mohammed Hussein, and their bodyguards.

The Valley Golf officials "banned for life" nonmembers Nasser Jr. and Hussein for "unruly behavior" at the golf course. More.
