When Veterinarians Play With Your Pet's Life

"MILKY"
05SEPTEMBER2008 - 12OCTOBER2013
5 YEARS OLD

A PET'S DEATH IS SOMETHING, EVERY PET-GUARDIAN INEVITABLY HAS TO FACE. IT IS QUITE UNFORTUNATE, THAT COMMON PETS SUCH AS DOGS & CATS, DON'T GET TO LIVE AS LONG AS HUMANS DO. AND NO AMOUNT OF PREPARATION COULD EVER MAKE YOU READY, TO FACE THAT DREADED DAY.

THIS BLOG IS NOT ABOUT GETTING REVENGE OR MONEY. IT'S ABOUT LETTING OTHER PET-GUARDIANS KNOW, THAT MY DOG DIED, IN THE HANDS OF AN INCOMPETENT VETERINARIAN AND FOR THEM TO THINK TWICE, BEFORE TAKING THEIR PETS IN THE SAID VETERINARY CLINIC.  

ST. JOSEPH VETERINARY CLINIC
BF HOMES, PARAÑAQUE

 

HERE'S THE LETTER I'VE WRITTEN:

TO ST. JOSEPH VETERINARY CLINIC MANAGEMENT

THIS IS TO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION, THE UNTIMELY DEATH OF OUR BELOVED PET, MILKY. ON 11OCTOBER2013, WE RUSHED HER TO ST. JOSEPH VETERINARY CLINIC, DUE TO FEVER. WE ONLY WANTED THE VET TO LOWER HER FEVER BUT WITHOUT OUR CONSENT, HE INJECTED IMIDOCARB DIPROPIONATE (IMIZOL®) INTRAVENOUSLY.

HE BASED HIS COURSE OF TREATMENT, SOLELY ON A CBC TEST! IT’S NOT CLEAR TO US, WHY HE BELIEVED THAT OUR DOG WAS SUFFERING FROM EHRLICHIA. NO TEST WAS DONE TO CONFIRM THE EXACT DISEASE.

AFTER MILKY’S DEATH, WE NOTICED OUR REMAINING DOGS, EXHIBITED SAME SYMPTOMS AS MILKY. WE THEN HAD OUR REMAINING DOGS, TESTED FOR EHRLICHIA, DISTEMPER & LEPTOSPIROSIS. ALL REMAINING DOGS, TESTED POSITIVE FOR LEPTOSPIROSIS. WHICH PROVED THAT MILKY, DID NOT SUFFER FROM EHRLICHIA. AND SHE WOULD HAVE LIVED LONGER, IF PROPER TESTS & TREATMENT WERE DONE BY YOUR VET.

UPON FURTHER RESEARCH, WE DISCOVERED THAT IMIDOCARB DIPROPIONATE (IMIZOL®) IS AN OFF-LABEL TREATMENT FOR EHRLICHIA AND IS NOT FDA-APPROVED. BASED ON A CLINICAL STUDY, 1 OUT OF 13 HEALTHY DOGS DIED SHORTLY AFTER THE DRUG WAS ADMINISTERED. THE DRUG IMIZOL® SHOULD NOT BE ADMINISTERED INTRAVENOUSLY OR INTRAMUSCULARLY. THE DRUG, MUST ONLY BE ADMINISTERED SUBCUTANEOUSLY, PREFERABLY IN THE NECK.

IT WAS EXTREMELY UPSETTING, THAT MILKY’S DEATH WAS ONLY MADE KNOWN TO US THROUGH A TEXT MESSAGE! HOW HARD IS IT, TO GRAB THE PHONE AND CALL US? WE WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SPEND HER REMAINING TIME TOGETHER. NO PET SHOULD DIE ALONE! MILKY DIED, WITH HER EYES OPEN, AS IF WAITING FOR OUR ARRIVAL. AND THAT IMAGE HASN’T LEFT OUR MINDS.

A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE PHILIPPINE VETERINARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, HAS ALREADY OFFERED TO HELP US REGARDING THIS MATTER.                         

DOGS ARE NOT JUST PETS, THEY ARE AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE FILIPINO FAMILIES. THEY DESERVE, UTMOST CARE THROUGH PROPER DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT. PET GUARDIANS, COME TO YOU IN GOOD FAITH, THEY ENTRUST THEIR PET’S LIVES IN YOUR HANDS. NO PET SHOULD DIE, FROM GROSS NEGLIGENCE BY AN INCOMPETENT VET.

WE'VE INVITED THE HANDLING VETERINARIAN, DR. PAUL JAYSON MANGUIAT & THE VETERINARY CLINIC'S PROPRIETOR DRA. GETTE BELCHEZ-CHUA, TO TALK ABOUT THE ISSUE, AT THE BARANGAY BUT THEY'VE FAILED TO ATTEND, ANY OF THE THREE SCHEDULED BARANGAY MEDIATIONS. INSTEAD, THEY'VE SENT A LETTER:

WE RECEIVED YOUR THIRD SUMMONS TO APPEAR FOR THE MEDIATION OF THE COMPLAINT FILED AGAINST US BY MS. SARAH ABRANTES. WE SINCERELY APOLOGIZE FOR OUR FAILURE TO ATTEND ANY OF THESE MEDIATIONS. HOWEVER, WE SUBMIT THAT THIS IS NOT DUE TO OUR WILLFUL REFUSAL OR DELIBERATE DISREGARDOF THE ORDERS OF YOUR HONORABLE OFFICE, BUT SIMPLY BECAUSE OF THE FOLLOWING REASONS WHICH WE HOPE YOU WILL FIND JUSTIFIABLE:

1. WE STRONGLY MAINTAIN OUR POSITION THAT WE TREATED THE DOG OF MS. ABRANTES WITH THE DEGREE OF DILIGENCE REQUIRED IN OUR PROFESSION, AND FOLLOWING THE STANDARD OF VETERINARY CARE IN THE PHILIPPINES.

2. IN FILING THIS CASE AGAINST US, IT IS EVIDENT THAT MS. ABRANTES ONLY CONCLUDED THAT WE WERE NEGLIGENT BECAUSE HER DOG DIED WHILE UNDER TREATMENT IN OUR CLINIC. THERE ARE NO SPECIFIC FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES TO SUBSTANTIATE THIS CONCLUSION, NOT EVEN AN OPINION FROM ANOTHER VETERINARIAN WHO COULD ATTEST TO OUR ALLEGED NEGLIGENCE.

3. WHILE WE CONDOLE WITH THE COMPLAINANT AND WHILE WE TRY TO UNDERSTAND HER MOTIVATIONS IN FILING THIS CASE AGAINST US, WE ALSO CANNOT ALLOW OURSELVES TO BE SUBJECTED TO UNJUST VEXATION AND HARASSMENT. ALLOWING THIS BASELESS COMPLAINT TO PROSPER WILL ALSO CREATE A DANGEROUS PRECEDENT IN OUR BUSINESS AND EVEN IN THE VETERINARY PROFESSION BECAUSE ANY CLIENT WHOSE PET HAS DIED CAN JUST FILE A CASE AGAINST THEIR VETERINARIANS. WE ARE NOT GODS, VETERINARY MEDICINE IS NOT A PERFECT SCIENCE. NO MATTER HOW HARD WE TRY TO SAVE A PATIENT, THERE ARE THINGS THAT ARE BEYOND OUR CONTROL. EACH ANIMAL MAY REACT DIFFERENTLY TO TREATMENT, AND THERE ARE VARIOUS FACTORS AFFECTING THE EFFICACY OF A TREATMENT. IT IS NOT FAIR TO ACCUSE A VETERINARIAN OF NEGLIGENCE BY THE MERE DEATH OF HIS PATIENT, AND WITHOUT ESTABLISHING SPECIFIC FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES POINTING TO HIS NEGLIGENCE.

4. CONSIDERING THAT WE ARE NOT LIKELY TO CONCEDE AND CHANGE OUR POSITION, WE DO NOT SEE OURSELVES REACHING SOME FORM OF COMPROMISE WITH THE COMPLAINANT. MAY WE REQUEST YOUR GOOD OFFICE TO ALREADY TERMINATE THIS MEDIATION PROCEEDINGS AND TO ISSUE THE CORRESPONDING CERTIFICATION.

THIS WOMAN, CLEARLY DOESN'T KNOW WHAT SHE'S TALKING ABOUT. SHE WASN'T EVEN THERE, WHEN IT HAPPENED. SHE ONLY BASED EVERYTHING, ON HER EMPLOYEE'S STORY. THAT'S THE VERY REASON, WE WOULD LIKE TO SIT DOWN WITH THEM AT THE BARANGAY, SO SHE COULD HEAR OUR PART OF THE STORY. AGAIN, WE ARE NOT AFTER MONEY OR ANYTHING. I ASSURE HER, OF THAT. WE WANT TO HEAR ANSWERS.

HERE'S MY REACTION TO THE LETTER:

1. I STRONGLY DISAGREE, THAT THEY TREATED MILKY, WITH THE DEGREE OF DILIGENCE REQUIRED IN THEIR PROFESSION, FOLLOWING THE STANDARD OF VETERINARY CARE IN THE PHILIPPINES. BEFORE A DOCTOR, PROCEEDS WITH A TREATMENT, THEY NEED TO PIN-POINT A SPECIFIC DISEASE! THEY HAVE TO BE CERTAIN, BECAUSE IT'S LIVES, THEIR DEALING WITH.

2. WE DON'T JUST FILE COMPLAINTS AGAINST ANYONE, FOR KICKS! HER EMPLOYEE, IS INCOMPETENT & LACKS PROPER KNOWLEDGE. NOT THAT WE CARE, BUT HER BUSINESS WILL SURELY SUFFER, IF THEY CONTINUE DOING THINGS, THE WAY THEY DO.

3. WE'VE LOST DOGS BEFORE, AND NO COMPLAINTS, WERE FILED AGAINST THE VETERINARY CLINIC, WHERE THEY WERE UNDERGOING TREATMENT. THERE ARE DEFINITELY THINGS THAT ARE BEYOND OUR CONTROL, BUT IF THEY'VE FOLLOWED THE BASICS OF MEDICINE, THEY COULD'VE HAVE PREVENTED SUCH TRAGEDY FROM HAPPENING.

4. LET ME REACT, ON THIS STATEMENT, "THERE'S NOT EVEN AN OPINION FROM ANOTHER VETERINARIAN WHO COULD ATTEST TO OUR ALLEGED NEGLIGENCE."
 

IF THEY'VE ONLY ATTENDED, AT LEAST ONE OF THE THREE BARANGAY MEDIATIONS, I COULD HAVE SAID TO HER FACE, A LIST OF VETERINARIAN'S OPINION FROM ALL THE NEIGHBORING VETERINARY CLINICS AROUND.

DR. PAUL JAYSON MANGUIAT

 

WE TRIED TO SPEAK WITH THEM, USING THE PROPER PLATFORM, BUT THEY LEFT US NO CHOICE, I HAVE TO WARN PET-GUARDIANS, BY SHARING MY EXPERIENCE WITH EVERYONE.

AS FOR DRA. GETTE BELCHEZ-CHUA, MY ONLY QUESTION FOR HER IS, WOULD YOU HAVE DONE THE SAME THING? WOULD YOU ALSO DECIDE TO TREAT A DOG, WITHOUT PROPER TESTS & DIAGNOSIS? WOULD YOU ADMINISTER, IMIZOL, AN OFF-LABEL DRUG WITHOUT EXPLAINING TO THE PET-GUARDIANS, THE RISKS INVOLVED? WOULD YOU NOT GIVE THE PET-GUARDIANS, A CHANCE TO DECIDE, IF THEY WANT TO PROCEED, WITH THE TREATMENT? WOULD YOU ALSO CHOOSE, TO BREAK THE NEWS OF OUR DOG'S PASSING, THROUGH A TEXT MESSAGE, INSTEAD OF A PHONE CALL?

IF YOU ANSWERED YES, TO THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS, IT'S TIME TO CLOSE YOUR DOORS FOR BUSINESS.
 

I CREATED THIS BLOG, WITH A CLEAR MIND. AGAIN, I'M SIMPLY NARRATING MY EXPERIENCE, WITH THE SAID VETERINARY CLINIC.

                THE LEAST WE CAN DO FOR MILKY, IS TO GIVE HER A PROPER BURIAL

REMEMBER... KARMA HAS AN ELABORATE WAY OF CATCHING UP WITH ONES ACTION.

UPDATES

FIRST OF ALL, THE AVALANCHE OF SUPPORT WE'RE GETTING, IS OVERWHELMING! I GENUINELY APPRECIATE THE LOVING SYMPATHY, PEOPLE HAVE SHOWN DURING THIS TREMENDOUSLY DIFFICULT TIME, AND ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE SHARED THIS BLOG ON YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA SITES. IT MAKES ME FEEL MUCH BETTER, KNOWING THAT, WE ARE RAISING AWARENESS. THANK YOU!

I HAVE RECEIVED, COUNTLESS EMAILS AND FACEBOOK MESSAGES FROM OTHERS WHO HAVE LOST THEIR PETS. MY HEART GOES OUT TO YOU... IT'S NOT EASY, BUT THEY'RE NOW IN A PLACE, WHERE NO ONE CAN HARM THEM.

WE TRUST OUR VETS ARE DOING THE RIGHT THING. THEY'RE THE ONES WITH THE DEGREE! THAT’S WHY WE PAY THEM MONEY. WE, AS PET OWNERS, CANNOT KNOW ALL THE DANGERS, THE VET SHOULD! HE WAS NEGLIGENT IN SO MANY THINGS IN THIS CASE. CLEARLY, HE SHOULD BE CONDEMNED AND HIS LICENSE TO PRACTICE REVOKED. HOW MANY OTHER DOGS AND CATS IN HIS CARE HAS HE KILLED?

HERE'S A COMMENT, THAT REALLY STRUCK ME... IT'S LIKE, THE VET WAS FOLLOWING A SCRIPT! THE CHAIN OF EVENTS ARE STRIKINGLY SIMILAR...

FROM DRA. JOAN CLARENCE MORALLO:

"WE FEEL YOUR GRIEF. MY MOM'S TRUFFLES LOOK EXACTLY LIKE MILKY, AND VERY IRONIC THAT HE DIED IN THE SAME PROCESS. THE TREATMENT WAS NOT EXPLAINED, HE GOT MORE ILL DURING HIS CONFINEMENT IN THE CLINIC, THEN EVENTUALLY DIED. THEY JUST SENT MY MOM A TEXT MESSAGE THAT TRUFFLES HAD DIED THE MORNING AFTER! IMAGINE TRUFFLES WAS DEAD ALREADY IN THE EVENING BUT THEY JUST BOTHERED TO SEND A MESSAGE IN THE MORNING?? HIS EYES WERE ALSO OPEN, YES AS IF WAITING FOR MY MOM AND BROTHER :( ... ITS JUST SO SAD THAT THIS DR. DIDNT EVEN BOTHER TO EXPLAIN THINGS TO MY MOM AND BROTHER. AND REALLY BOTHERSOME THAT THIS HAS BEEN REPEATEDLY HAPPENING BASED ON COMMENTS IN FB AND YOUR BLOG."

"I AM A DOCTOR TOO, BUT I BELIEVE THAT THE DEATH OF OUR TRUFFLES COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED. AS A DOCTOR, DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT SHOULD HAVE BEEN EXPLAINED, WAS THIS EXPLAINED TO MY MOM? NO! WHY? BECAUSE SHE WAS A SENIOR CITIZEN? AND WHEN MY MOM TOLD THE VET THAT SHE HAS A DAUGHTER WHO IS ALSO A DOCTOR, WHAT DID THE VET SAY? "IBA ANG TAO SA ASO" OBVIOUSLY BOTH SPECIES ARE DIFFERENT, KAYA NGA SA KANYA DINALA, HINDI SA AKIN. MY MOM SAID THAT SO THAT THE VET COULD EXPLAIN TO HER WHATS GOING ON, WHICH SHE WOULD ALSO TELL ME. BUT STILL, NOTHING. I WANTED THEM TO PULL OUT TRUFFLES AND TRANSFER TO ANOTHER CLINIC, BUT THE VET REFUSED."

"YES, DOCTORS ARE PROFESSIONALS THAT PEOPLE GO TO FOR HELP, YES WE HAVE THE CLINICAL EYE. BUT IT IS ALSO OUR DUTY TO EXPLAIN OUR DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT, IF NOT, THEN WE ARE JUST THE SAME AS GOOGLE OR OTHER SEARCH ENGINE. NOW TELL ME, WHY DID THIS VET NOT EXPLAIN THE DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT TO MY MOM?"

(TRUFFLES DIED, AT THE SAME CLINIC, UNDER THE HANDS OF THE SAME VET.)
DRA. JOAN CLARENCE MORALLO IS A REAL DOCTOR. YES! WE HAVE PEOPLE HERE, CLAIMING TO BE DOCTORS...

THE VET, HAD THIS COMING... HE WAS LUCKY THAT, HIS PREVIOUS VICTIMS KEPT THEIR SILENCE... THE BARANGAY KAGAWAD, WE'VE SPOKEN TO, EVEN RECOGNIZED HIS NAME! A SIMILAR COMPLAINT WAS FILED AGAINST HIM, NOT LONG AGO! THIS JUST MIGHT BE, THE KARMA, HIS PAST VICTIMS WERE PRAYING FOR.

I HAVE NO CONTROL, OVER THE NEGATIVE COMMENTS, THE VET HAS BEEN GARNERING. IT'S THE READER'S RIGHT TO EXPRESS THEIR OPINION. THE SAME RIGHT YOU HAVE, FOR EXPRESSING YOURS. THEY'RE SIMPLY, NARRATING FIRST-HAND EXPERIENCES TOO. IF YOU'VE NOTICED, I AM NOT DELETING COMMENTS HERE (POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE.) IF MY INTENTION IS TO, CONDITION THE READER'S MIND TO SYMPATHIZE WITH ME, ALL NEGATIVE COMMENTS AGAINST THIS BLOG, WOULD HAVE BEEN DELETED. I'M SURE, THE READERS HAVE A MIND OF THEIR OWN AND ARE WELL-EDUCATED.

WE'VE LOST BELOVED PETS BEFORE, BUT WE'VE NEVER FILED A CASE AGAINST THE VETERINARY HOSPITAL BECAUSE WE WERE SURE, THAT OUR PET RECEIVED UTMOST CARE, WHILE UNDERGOING TREATMENT. THE ATTENDING VET, HAD EXPLAINED EVERYTHING TO US, HE KEPT US IN THE LOOP, HE EVEN CALLED US WHEN HE THOUGHT OUR PUPPY WAS DYING... HE WAS EVEN TEARING UP, WHILE TRYING TO REVIVE OUR PET. WE WERE ABLE TO SPEND TIME WITH OUR PET, BEFORE SHE DREW HER LAST BREATH... HER EYES WERE CLOSED, SHE WAS AT PEACE. SHE DIDN'T DIE ALONE & COLD... WE STILL GO TO THIS ANIMAL HOSPITAL... UNFORTUNATELY, THEY  DON'T OPERATE 24/7...

WHY ARE WE NOT RECEIVING, THE LONG OVERDUE, COMPREHENSIVE MEDICAL REPORT? WHAT IS THIS VET HIDING?

I'VE SPOKEN TO VETERINARIANS FROM, ANIMAL HOUSE PET CLINIC & GROOMING CENTER, HAPPY HAYOP VETERINARY CLINIC & GOOD SHEPHERD VETERINARY CLINIC. I EVEN CONSULTED, WITH AN ONLINE VETERINARIAN FROM www.justanswer.com AND PAYED ₱1470 FOR MY QUERY. THEY'VE ALL GIVEN THEIR HONEST OPINION REGARDING THE ISSUE.

ONE VET SAID...

"HINDI PO NAMIN GINAGAMIT ANG IMIZOL, MALIBAN NALANG KUNG TALAGANG, NAG-TEST POSITIVE YUNG ASO SA EHRLICHIA. BEFORE WE PROCEED WITH THE TREATMENT, KINU-KUNDISYON MUNA NAMIN YUNG ASO FOR 2 WEEKS AT KAILANGAN PO NAMING HINGIN ANG PAHINTULOT NG MAY-ARI AT MAGPA-PIRMA NG CONSENT FORM, BAGO KAMI MAG-PATULOY SA TREATMENT."

"HANGGAT MAAARI, HINDI KAMI MAGRE-RESORT SA PAGGAMIT NG AGGRESIVE NA GAMOT, TULAD NG IMIZOL, DAHIL MAY LIGTAS NA ALTERNATIVE NAMAN. AT BASED SA CBC TEST, HINDI NORMAL ANG BUN AT CREATININE LEVEL NG ASO NINYO, KAYA BAKA LALO LANG MAKASAMA."

THIS VET DIDN'T WANT TO GET INVOLVED WITH THE ISSUE AND WISHED TO REMAIN UNNAMED. THEY CAN'T SPEAK AGAINST A FELLOW VET BECAUSE IT IS UNETHICAL, WHICH IS RIDICULOUS! YOU MEAN TO SAY, A VET COULD NEGLIGENTLY DISREGARD PROTOCOL, AND KILL AS MUCH ANIMALS IN THE PROCESS, WITHOUT FACING ANY SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES?

LET ME RESPOND, TO SOME OF THE COMMENTS HERE...

1."HOW ABOUT I WRITE A BLOG POST TOO, APTLY ENTITLED: WHEN PET OWNERS PLAY VETS. YES SOME PET OWNERS REALLY THINK THEY ARE SMARTER THAN THEIR PETS VET."

- YOU CAN CERTAINLY CREATE A BLOG, APTLY ENTITLED: "WHEN PET OWNERS PLAY VETS" YOU HAVE THE FREEDOM TO DO SO.

2. "IM BOTHERED BY YOUR POST BECAUSE IT INCITES HATEFUL AND VIOLENT REACTIONS FROM PEOPLE WHO DONT EVEN KNOW THE ENTIRE STORY, WHO DONT EVEN KNOW IF YOUR CLAIMS ABOUT IMIZOL IS TRUE!"

- WHAT MADE YOU THINK, YOU KNOW THE WHOLE STORY?

3. "PAANO PO NINYO NASABI NA BINIGYAN SI MILKY NG IMIZOL INTRAVENOUSLY?"

- IMIZOL WAS ADMINISTERED INTRAVENOUSLY. WE WERE THERE, YOU'RE NOT...

4. "ALL I CAN SAY IS, VETS ARE HARDLY RESPECTED IN THIS COUNTRY."

- RESPECT IS EARNED, NOT GIVEN. THESE PEOPLE HAVE DONE NOTHING, TO EARN MY RESPECT...

IF I DIDN'T KNOW ANY BETTER, I'D SAY THESE COMMENTS, CAME STRAIGHT FROM PEOPLE, WHO ARE CONNECTED WITH THE CLINIC OR EVEN, FROM THE VET IN QUESTION HIMSELF...

READERS OF THIS BLOG, MAY STILL AVAIL OF THE SERVICES OFFERED BY ST. JOSEPH VETERINARY CLINIC. NO ONE'S STOPPING YOU... AT LEAST, YOU ARE NOW MADE AWARE, OF WHAT'S IN STORE FOR YOU... TOO MANY PEOPLE BLINDLY BELIEVE, WHAT THEIR VETERINARIAN IS DOING, IS IN THE BEST POSSIBLE INTERESTS FOR THEIR PETS... IF ANYONE WOULD FACE THIS SCENARIO IN THE FUTURE, ASK QUESTIONS AND BE INVOLVED! DON'T LET THE VET DO, WHATEVER HE WANTS! DON'T WORRY, THAT HIS FEELINGS WOULD BE OFFENDED, BY YOU QUESTIONING HIM! IT'S YOUR PET'S LIFE! ULTIMATELY, IT WILL BE US, PET-GUARDIANS, WHO WILL HAVE TO FACE THE TORMENT OF LOSING A PET, WHOM WE'VE TREATED AS FAMILY MEMBERS. NOT THE VET...

SIMPLE LOGIC... YOU WOULDN'T ADMINISTER A VACCINE TO AN ILL DOG... YOU WOULD HAVE TO WAIT, UNTIL THE DOG IS WELL. WHO IN THE RIGHT MIND, WOULD INJECT IMIZOL, A NON FDA-APPROVED DRUG, TO A DOG WHO WAS VERY ILL?

THINK... THINK... THINK...

IF THIS BLOG, CAN HELP SAVE EVEN ONE DOG, THEN MILKY'S LIFE WAS NOT TAKEN IN VAIN...

THIS BLOG WAS PUBLISHED ON 30NOVEMBER2013. A DAY AFTER THE PARTY IN QUESTION, FAILED TO ATTEND ANY OF THE THREE BARANGAY MEDIATIONS. I GAVE THEM THE CHANCE, TO SIT WITH US AT THE BARANGAY, WHICH FOR ME IS THE "PROPER PLATFORM."
