CRITICISM. A group of political observers calling themselves “neutral analysts†agreed, in an interview with a journalist from Manila, that Tomas Osmeña's “ceaseless criticism†of Mike Rama contributed to his defeat.†The unreasonableness of most of Osmeña's attacks against Rama created a sense of pity for the incumbent mayor,†one analyst told the Manila journalist to which the other so-called analyst agreed “100 percent.â€
FED-UP. Even the ordinary political observers who hang out in coffeeshops in the malls told an Ear informer they were “fed-up†with the contest attacks by Osmeña against Rama. “Gamay'ng issue lang birahan dayon ni Tom si Mike, naglagot na nuon bisan kadtong mga level-headed Osmenistas,†one observer was quoted by our informer as saying.
