TAGBILARAN CITY—A former Bohol provincial board member and administrator has challenged a critic to a boxing match to end their feud.
Ae Damalerio last Saturday publicly announced his intent for him and businessman Willy Ramasola to square it up inside the boxing ring.
“Mr. Willy Ramasola, sumbagay lang ta or boxing. Ikaw pili sa lugar ug time. Open ang lugar for public viewing arun bibo, with referee or wala,” said Damalerio in a Facebook post.
(Mr. Willy Ramasola, let’s fist-fight or box. You choose the place and time. The area is open for public viewing so that it will be lively with or without a referee).
“Kusog ug isog man ka mangdaut, mang bully, mang intimidate or mang intriga sa Facebook. If your intention of maligning people is political, humana ang election. Otherwise, it’s something personal,” he added.
(You’re brave in destroying, bullying, and intimidating people on Facebook. If your intention of maligning people is political, then let me remind you that the election is over. Otherwise, it’s something personal).
After learning about Damalerio’s challenge, Ramasola wasted no time and announced on Facebook his response.
“Bai (Pal), talk to my manager. Bring it on,” Ramasola said.
Netizens were quick to share and post the statements of Damalerio and Ramasola.
The dispute between the two men started when Ramasola, a known critic of former Gov. Art Yap, posted photos of Damalerio harvesting vegetables on the farm.
Ramasola captioned the photo, saying “The seeds bought by the capitol did not grow. However, the farms of the former officials of the province have flourished.”
In another Facebook post, Ramasola said Damalerio’s anger was nothing compared to the anger of Boholanos over alleged irregularities in the provincial government.
Damalerio served as a board member of Bohol from 2007 to 2010. He was provincial administrator of former governor and incumbent Rep. Edgar Chatto of Bohol’s first district from 2010 to 2019.
