Mudslinging heats up in Mandaue
By Aledel G. Cuizon
Sun.Star Staff Reporter

Internet forum Istorya.net is also buzzing with posts from different pro-Cortes and pro-Ouano members.

Online buzz

In the topic for Mandaue politics, one member who claims to be a son of a candidate for councilor posted a message that said his father was given P1 million by the Ouano camp for him not to run. Another member posted messages saying Jonkie is more qualified than Jonas and thus deserves to be mayor.

One pro-Ouano member was banned after sending a pro-Cortes member derogatory remarks through a private message.

Istorya.net allows its members to say anything as long as it’s not “below the belt.�

Site keeper Benjie Ordoñez said in an interview with Sun.Star that many people are posting messages about politics because they are starting to be more aware of issues and getting “pro-active.�

“This is just healthy discussion. Any discussion in politics is debatable,� he said.

Gerald Yuvallos, administrator, said that the tolerance level is “loose.�

“With the nature of discussion, things are expected to heat up,� he said.

Yuvallos said that in the 2004 elections, the site had many comments on the rivalry between former Cebu City mayor Alvin Garcia and Mayor Tomas Osmeña.

But that was when the site only had about 8,000 members. Now, the site has about 30,000 members.
