i was on the verge of blogging about the tenure case of tibak (activist) u.p. professor sarah raymundo of the department of sociology now chaired by prof. randy david, when the news broke that prof. david intends to oppose gloria should she dare run for congress in his home province of pampanga.
siyempre natigilan ako. here i was all set to wonder aloud why known-to-be-leftist randy david seems to have turned against sarah raymundo who is herself a product of the department, shaped by, among others, the good professor himself, when bigla na lang he's on the front page of inquirer, terribly macho astride a powerful motorcycle, with tibak kerchief tied 'round his head in lieu of a helmet. macho tibak?!? new politics?!?

UPDATE from prof. raymundo’s chronology of events appended to her letter to u.p. chancellor sergio s. cao dated june 24, 2009:
"On February of 2008, I submitted my application for tenure to the tenured faculty of the Sociology Department through our then-chairperson Dr. Clemen Aquino. By the second week of June 2008 … I was informed by Dr. Clemen Aquino of the official result of the tenured faculty’s deliberation on my tenure application. The voting that took place among the tenured faculty was to my favor at seven to three."
