People choose their own truths and believe what they want to believe. Mr. Pimentel has chosen to swallow Villon’s truth, even with all the twists and turns, after all he is getting a space in return for his MPC defense. Mr. Pimentel may go on spasms but the facts remain the same.
Yes, I was a part of the steering committee. However, my involvement has no bearing on the issue nor does it change the facts previously stated.
And to reiterate, Villon as an individual nor MPC as a collective entity did not rescue PCC in any way. And I say this without fear or favour and knowing that I have done my part in contributing to the MPC cause in the early days.
But what is even more amusing and revealing is the sudden change of heart. Only yesterday I received a very nice email from Mr. Pimentel, even calling me “hija” and inviting me to join his Filpress group. “You could add spice to the group” he said and he signed off “abrazos” (hugs). The timing was dubious and perhaps he was hoping to make me an ally. Obviously it is only after reading my piece that he has had a change of heart about me. That’s two contradictory and conflicting opinions within a day! Obviously I must have hit a raw nerve or maybe it’s simply the nature of the beast.
